³ÉÈËÂÛ̳

Haha

clsoing 606 for this?

The standards of ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ have gone so low that they resort to "what if?" comedy. Sort it out you bunch of idiots

I thought comedy was meant to be funny?

Brilliant, just imagine how good Blackburn would be if they just imagined their entire season? Top of the league I reckon.

And to think that Jon Aird gets paid to write this rubbish.

Comedy??? Do me a favour, what a waste of time

Did Russell Howard write this?

"All posts are reactively moderated"

So in other words all comments made by Blackburn Rovers fans are denied and all sarcastic immature comments by plastic football fans such as the above are accepted.

Through all the chicken jokes and rubbish such as this immature ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ joke i don't ever remember porn jokes being made about the West Ham owners and jokes made about when they were linked to Klose etc...

Same borish attitude toward a team that tries to be better then it currently is.

Hilarious.

I expected better from the ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳.

Jon Aird.....please just stop this blog now before too many people know it exists. For your own sake.

That is the least funny thing I have read in years. That is even worse than this pathetic channel putting Michael McIntiresome on primetime telly every weekend. Mr. Aird, hang up your comedy boots, you're about as funny as herpes.

blimey, i am detecting a few people commenting on this blog may have a condition known as a 'sense of humour bypass'

In fact couldn't this whole article be deemed 'regionalism' with the Messi picture holding a race-dog and farmers cap.

Would the author of this article dare do a article showing jews in Israel wearing the Star of David or people from Norfolk being web-toed?

No didn't think so...

*sigh*

Sniper @#2 - my thoughts exactly; what complete toss.

What do you reckon the chances are that Mr Aird has been supplementing his income writing Christmas Cracker jokes over the last couple of months - the utter muppet!!!

My friend sent me a link to this, i was expecting something dry and satirical like from the Daily Mash, or something wry like from Football365, instead i get this, proof that content providers should be charged for my bandwidth.

The picture's quite funny though.

The picture is offensive. To depict a "northerner" as such seems to be fine, but if the article was about someone moving to India, and the person was shown eating a curry and wearing a turban, you'd class that as unacceptable, the article would be deleted and the writer of the article would be reprimanded. Why does our country's renowned public service broadcaster have such pronounced double standards when it comes to opposing prejudice and stereotypes?

I thought bbc comedy at hit it's peak with '2 pints of lager and a packet of crisps', but they've raised the bar again with this article...

perhaps the writer should check out daily mash for how to actually write satire.

Wow.

This is awful.

Brilliant! But I think West Ham are working much harder (fantasising of course) in their efforts to land Messi.

John it would appear very much like serious journalism and comedy involving anything funny are not exactly your forte...which is probably the reason you managed to get a job at the ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ in the first place.

This is confusing, I can't seem to find a punchline. Or is it the picture? I don't understand what your trying to do. Poor attempt ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳, I'd stick to trying to scare the public with threats of terrorism if I were you.

Thousands of intelligent, varied, interesting football debates per day being axed to save money to produce "comedy" pieces like this.

Funny that my earlier comment still remains with the ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳'s panel of experts about whether or not it is suitable to display. Surely a gesture about the quality of journalism/writing/comedy in relation to how much a person being paid is not that difficult to work out?

@5 I think even blackburn fans know that at as an imaginary team in the imaginary league they would still never claim top spot, European places at best I reckon.

Also dear comedy blog, can i ahve a job, here are my first 3 article titles:

Ronaldo (fat) in stunning £3 move to Leyton Orient, signing on fee of a kebab.
Rooney buys himself and proceeds to offer his services to his local pub team on loan for rest of season.
Barcelona look to get some experience in their defence and midfield and sign the neville brothers for a combined £64.3m

@10, Dont blame Aird, if you read the bottom apparently 'Transfer Day Updates are written by Laurence howarth'

So there is the culprit

Laurence howarth? BURN HIM!!!

Oh, and don't forget that your surname also starts with a capital letter.

Actually didn't notice that Iberni, that was a direct copy and paste from above, cant believe the ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ aren't even capitalising the surnames of their writers now - the budget cuts are worse than we feared.

For those that don't know Lawrence Howarth this article is the pinnacle of his career to date...having apparently:

"appeared in one episode each of the TV series After You've Gone (2007), Hyperdrive (2006), Blessed (2005), The Robinsons (2005), My Hero (2005) and Dark Ages (1999). He has also appeared in the radio comedy Bleak Expectations and written for TV to Go, the 2006 TV series of Dead Ringers, and for Alistair McGowan's Big Impression (1996)."

It is easy to see why the ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ retains such a talented and clearly sought after comedy genius. Move over Ricky Gervais, Matt Lucas & David Walliams..there's a new boy on the block

Haha, someone is reading our comments, as they have gone back and edited the article so that Howarth is capitalised.

Ive only heard of a couple of those programs, and they are universalle average or below in terms of quality.

Hyperdrive especially, sci-fi sit com is virtually impossible to run with, and Red Dwarf already took the one success (discounting later series')

Utter garbage. I've seen more humorous things on channel 5.
A tragic attempt at humour. I'd like to say don't quit you're day job but this probably is you're day job.

This comment was removed because the moderators found it broke the house rules. Explain.

@32 so surely you want to say 'quit your day job'

Absolutely awful article, can't believe this is what we get for our licence fees. Expect this level of humour from ITV, not the ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳. Author is most likely an idiot who only watches the big four and knows nothing about Rovers except that we are 'somewhere in the north' and 'have small attendances'. GARBAGE.
