@hullcity: REFEREE: Neil Swarbrick will be taking charge of our #BPL game against @WBAFCofficial at The Hawthorns on Saturday Bad news. He's ****.
I'm thinking of turning this thread into a film. Ref Vs West Ham. It'd be a bit like Eagle vs Shark. Only less New Zealandy.
Eagles can't swim and sharks can't fly. Eagle vs Honey Badger in a ground war scenario and Shark vs Crocodile in a seaborne conflict would make more sense. Note. I couldn't think of an animal that flies that could off an eagle. A couple of Condors or three Albatri ( plural of albatross) but that's not a one on one gig. Surely the above makes more sense than an Eagle vs a Shark?
I foresee a high budget Eddie Eagle vs Jabberjaw movie, in an "Alien vs Predator" mould, achieving worldwide success. Casting would be a nightmare. I'd maybe opt for Hugh Grant as Eddie & Steve Buscemi as Jabberjaw.
I'm sticking with Eagle vs Shark as my treatment template for Ref vs West Hamlet of Bromwich. (Much better working title BTW). please log in to view this image I'm writing a lighthearted romantic comedy based on a poster who confuses the names of two rival teams, with inevitable hilarious consequences. It's not a fight to the death animal bloodbath. I'm saving that for the sequel. There'll be belly laughs aplenty and some slightly awkward sex scenes. Now, who to cast in the lead roles?
