In a week where everyone complained about the bloody international break, A Team of John O’Sheas is back to bring you the Premier-League-based nourishment which all true football fans need. With three law students on the panel this week, we thought it appropriate to bring back our ‘Make A Case’ format. Will Geeson will make a case for wooly jumpers, choir singing and just good-old decent, wholesome living to be recognised as the fundamental rights of British citizenship. Scott McGrory shall be presenting the case for Kleberson and Eric Djemba-Djemba to be awarded knighthoods for their service to the cause of football trivia. Finally, Paddy McCloskey will rant about things angrily in an incomprehensible accent for some time and then we will agree with him in case he threatens our families.
Just kidding. We’ll actually be making a case for Premier League clubs we should all adopt as our second favourite teams.
I’ll be organising fun this week. After last week’s controversy where Paddy blatantly allowed wrong answers to be admitted because apparently the segment is called, ‘organised fun, not organised accuracy’, I shall be attempting to restore order. There will be no alternative facts on this show. As Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink said when he won the Ballon D’or for almost single-handedly winning the World Cup for Romania: ‘the truth will set us free’.
All this and more beside on this week's episode of A Team of John O'Sheas...
