Personal Statement about Match of the Day

149 replies

Random789 · 11/03/2023 13:45

With so many people refusing to host Match of the Day it seems inevitable that they will eventually work their way right down the list to the point where they have to ask me.

I can confirm that, despite Gary Lineker having my full support, I am prepared (in this time of great national crisis) to step up and do my duty.

I'm not the best informed about football, but I can bring the following talking points to the table:

*Ooh, doesn't he have lovely knees. So chunky.

*Which one is England again?

I'm trying to think of a third one, but no luck. Perhaps I will need some co-hosts.

Right, I'm in, I want lineker's salary for the day. I'm sure I've got some gems to say. When I think of them I'll let you know, but I guess the main ones are
Just kick it in the net you muppet and how much do they get paid for this shambles? Call this football, my kindergarten class could do better for a cookie and some milk.

And
No mate, womens football is winning the big tournaments, you are shite bags.

Actually I think I nailed it, dont need any more.

Casually wonder aloud who is minding all of the players’ children whilst they’re enjoying their hobby?

I can shout, "hoof it down the park" because my dad always says that.

I can also do a word perfect rendition of Adam and Joe's Footie song. Despite knowing nothing about football.

MrsTerryPratchett · 11/03/2023 19:02

Failing that, call them all cunts al la Roy Kent.

Job's a goon 'un.

LlynTegid · 11/03/2023 19:06

I'd introduce each game with a link to something Gary Lineker did as a player. If he didn't play at each ground, given the number of goals he scored, he's likely to have scored against one or both of the teams.

Or sing the John Barnes rap a la Pam from Gavin and Stacey 😂

You can be slow or fast, but you must get to the line....

do we know who is on? Is it like the PM job, do we all need to be on standby?

MahMahMahMahCorona · 11/03/2023 19:11

How about "it's not just about the winning, it's the taking part that counts"?

Enthrallingstoryofstillnessandlight · 11/03/2023 19:12

Anyone else singing 'ooh ah Cantona, I said ooh ah Cantona' 🎶🎵

Autocadelite · 11/03/2023 19:17

Oh ah cantona...My mum wears a big black bra

I remember us kids singing that in the 90s 😂

dapsnotplimsolls · 11/03/2023 19:18

It's only on for 20 mins tonight - better make it pithy!

PlateBilledDuckyPerson · 11/03/2023 19:29

🎼Vindaloo, na na na, something something we all love vindaloo, we will score more goals than you ... Engerland ... three lines on my shirt ... we're coming home, we're coming home, Sweet Caroline, nah nah nah ...🎼

When a sub is brought on in the last 10 minutes, make sure to comment with great insight that he's "got fresh legs".

Can't believe no one has offered

"The lad done well".

BendingSpoons · 11/03/2023 21:17

I can quote some random stats for you:
'The red team have only ever beaten the yellow team at home when the manager drove his mini to the match. I saw Mr X's mini parked in the carpark today, which has to be a good omen'
'This is the first time since 1972 that both teams have fielded a player with a colour for a surname. Looking forward to Gary Green and Bob Brown battling it out today'

Is Jurgen Klop the one who has the plastic glasses and looks like he is out of a Scandi noir film?

I'll do him too.

[cough]

😆That's the one.

LlynTegid · 12/03/2023 07:09

Jurgen Klopp and Ruben Ostlund are never seen together, they could be the same person.

illiterato · 12/03/2023 07:10

I will laugh if the viewers actually prefer this format with more match footage and less chatting.
