Witty Headline Thread

    I just saw on Skysports.com one of their lead stories is Latics Bag Brown and just thought there was definately a Sun styled pun/headline in there just waiting to get out!

    Something along the lines of "Brown Bags Latics Deal"
    Something to confuse and amuse!

    So was thinking, why not have a thread where we can show off our eloquence with the language, where we can come up with the clever or cringworthy headlines, ideally not stolen from the days papers, and who knows maybe even get contracted by one of the rags to sit in a dark room coming up with more - for money!

    So unsheathe your rapier wit's and have a go!

    Not sure if this is exactly what you want but when I first read this thread I thought of the Super Callie Go Ballistic Celtic Are Atrocious headline. And who said John Barnes brought nothing to Scotland? :rolleyes:

    I like the "Gerrard and Carragher sign on" headline on SkySports.

    My favourite, although completely non football related, was when the London Policeman had a sex change and was allowed to return to work as a WPC.

    The Sun's headliines (I kid you not) was "No Knobby Bobby, Keeps His Jobby".:D

    i liked the one earlier this summer when it was believed that Fowler was going to be plying his trade in the SPL this season. "Old firm battle it out to sign GOD"

    From The Sport (yeah, I know :o ) when Julian Dicks scored the last Liverpool goal in front of the old Kop:
    'Big Dicks sticks it in' :D

    When Kuyt hits a good run of form

    "Kuyt flying high" *groan*

    Rather obvious, but since Drogheda sold Glen Fitzpatrick to St Pats today, how about DROGS MISFIT GLEN FITS PATRICK'S?

    The classic sun headline after Sweden beat England 'Swedes 2 Turnips 1'
    or after Scotland drew in the Faroes 'Faroes 2 Fairies 2'. I mean I never read the rag but their headline writers can be inspired sometimes.
