I was playing Football Manager on my PC when I was offered the [insert team here] job. I knew it was a poor squad with no future, so I declined the offer. I then put the telephone down and returned to Football Manager. There used to be few things more frightening for television viewers than the sight of a comedian in a Pringle sweater. It meant that he was almost certainly about to talk about golf, tell jokes about golf, take part in a sketch about golf or introduce another Pringle-sweatered great mate who was equally mad about golf.
Liverpool and Man United are playing at Anfield and the Liverpool supporters are having a pint on the street when a Man Utd supporter walks by with only one shoe on. The man claimed, “I was officiating this crucial match at Anfield between Liverpool and Manchester United. The score was 0-0 with one minute remaining in the second half when I awarded a penalty against Liverpool at the Kop end.” My partner just split up with me because they think I’m obsessed with football. I’m a bit gutted about it – we’d been going out for three seasons.

They ran for miles until they came upon an old barn where they decided to hide in the hayloft and rest. Aren't you having any?" asks the United fan. "No" replied the City fan, "I think I’ll wait til the Police get here." Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds United lost a Championship play-off semi-final against Derby after a 2-4 defeat on Wednesday night, despite going into the game with a 1-0 lead from the first leg.Surely the main lesson is that entertainers, and producers, should never lose sight of the fact that they are there to serve the public, rather than themselves. They are there to be part of the broader community, and to listen, observe, reflect and engage with it - not merely impose whatever amuses their own little clique upon the broader watching public. There have, of course, been other sporting interests that have, at various times and for various periods, held some attraction for the comedy community. Horse racing, for instance, was a particular passion during the 1950s for such performers as Sidney James, Charlie Drake, Jimmy Clitheroe, Robert Morley, Wilfrid Hyde-White, Leslie Phillips, Max Bygraves, Chesney Allen, Ronald Shiner, Jimmy Edwards, Al Read and Terry-Thomas (who even campaigned to get horse jumps installed in Hyde Park), and some of them not only watched but also rode ( George Formby, a former stable apprentice, actually took part in the odd competitive race as well as organised charity equestrian events for himself and his fellow comics).
