My team, The Royal Philharmonic, are facing relegation after our key bassoonist was hit by a hamstring injury, and we had to play Terry Butcher on the kazoo.
As an Ipswich Town supporter, may I express my outrage that Terry Butcher, brilliant defender in the golden days of Bobby Robson’s tenure at Portman Road, should be so mocked by Hutton like this.

From The Times article, about the BBC Symphony:
Not a band regularly prepared to give 110 per cent, or to express much personality.
Yup, that’s the kinda direction I’d give if I were a conductor. “Now in the second movement I want 110% on those oboes…”
Which is perhaps one of the reasons why I’m not a conductor.
Cute, but P.D.Q. Bach did this much better with the “New Horizons in Music Appreciation” sportscast of Beethoven’s 5th Symphony.
I’m highly resistive. That’s why I’m not a conductor.
And since we’re comparing orchestral performance to team sports, I will amuse at least the USian readers by mentioning that the bases are loaded…
Are there team anthems?
I can’t play the kazoo, but I’d love to play Terry Butcher on my harmonica. Could someone post the sheet music?
In Brazil someone once asked me what I thought of Coldplay’s sheet music. It took me a while to work out what he meant.
But he was right. It really is sheet.
OT sorry but a minor gem.
Just seen on the BBC’s Test The Nations I.Q. program, a scrolling banner at the bottom of the screen saying
“1 in 50 have an I.Q. in the top 2%”
Never!
Rich,
Just been watching the same train wreck of a show. I never caught that one at the time but I am now deeply amused. Thanks.
Triticale,
I’m highly resistive. That’s why I’m not a conductor.
Well that’s such a terrible joke that I’m vaguely amused.
Combining football and music? How about:-
Hamilton Academicals of St Martin’s in the Fields.

Vengeance will be swift.
