The Day the Football Pundits Went on Strike

The Day the Football Pundits Went on Strike

A national crisis. We’d not seen the like
Of it before. It wrecked Match of the Day
The day the football pundits went on strike.

Lineker had suggested the Third Reich
Was like our own government in a way.
A national crisis. We’d not seen the like.

He soon had the support of Ian Wright
Who thought Lineker was onside, okay,
The day the football pundits went on strike.

Those in the Culture Wars tried to outpsyche
Each other and so expressed their dismay,
A national crisis. They’d not seen the like.

It was an unedifying bunfight

And everybody had to have their say

The day the football pundits went on strike.

The trains, post and teachers. For heaven’s sake !
Yes, I’m sure that they deserve higher pay.
A national crisis. We’ve not seen the like

Since the 70’s. They made a mistake,
The BBC. What? No pundit’s cliché?
A national crisis ! We’d not seen the like
The day the football pundits went on strike.
