Default Cameron and Hodgson to change jobs!!

The latest, apparently, is that Roy Hodgson is to be the new PM. The country is looking for someone who can mastermind a quick exit from Europe (he's already exited the World (Cup) so has the experience).

Cameron knows how to play the Eton Wall Game which has a round ball so is sort of like football so he's going to manage the England football team and would probably do a better job than Roy 'to be fair'.

A new term 'to do a Leicester' recently entered the English language (to succeed against insurmountable odds). The England football team has just coined a new term which is 'to do a reverse Leicester'.

Poignantly, a group of players on multi-million pound salaries who ply their trade in the 'best league in the world' couldn't beat a team from a country with a population similar to Leicester.

Thanks - the only difficulty I see is with Roy spouting politico jargon and Dave football jargon. e.g. Can Dave master?

'the boys done good'
'it was a game of two halves'
'gettin' forward and doin' the business'
'gettin' a result' (well yeah, a win, a draw or a loss is a result Dave)
'the subs were sat on the bench'
'at this particular moment in the time' (you mean now?)
etc

Yeah, one of the lies of the Leavers is that, outside of the EU, Britain would be able to strike wonderful deals with non EU countries such as Iceland. Well the deal to play like a minnow vs one of the greatest footballing nations on the planet was reneged on by the Islanders/Icelanders.

Wales voted for a European exit but their players are ignoring this and have made it to the semi finals.

(Joe Hart is the 'face', well the head of the Head and Shoulders advertising campaign in the UK; probably earning more from that endorsement than the entire Icelandic team earn). It's being suggested his Head and Shoulders doesn't work and he let in the second goal because he had dandruff in his eyes.
