Because its not as if they have much else on right now
The war on terror, the broken society, a wreck of an economy. One would think the government had enough to interfere with solve at the moment. Yet thankfully, plugging the gaping governmental failure to create any new football songs, arrives a new public sector campaign from the good souls at Get On.
For those interested, the Get On campaign aims, “to encourage adults to recognise the ability that they have with words in their day-to-day life and inspire those who need to brush up on their English skills to do so and gain a qualification. The chant competition, now running for its second season, was launched to tap into the nation’s writing talents and show just how creative with language football fans can be.”
Getting in the front seat of what will inevitably be a World Cup bandwagon heaving with this type of guff, Get On are now looking for a fresh England chant to inspire Capello’s men to victory.
The judging panel will include former World in Motion star John Barnes, who luckily enough, now has plenty of time on his hands to sagaciously judge the field. In case you feel intimidated by the calibre of entry, thespoiler is happy to print the sample entry, written by the resident poet at Barnsley FC no less, Mr Ian McMillan. Its after the jump.
