Shakespeare in Football

Dave Rudd

We start, of course, with our patron:

Chizz

Am I so round with you as you with me,

That like a football you do spurn me thus?

You spurn me hence, and he will spurn me hither.

If I last in this service, you must case me in leather. 

Dromio of Ephesus, The Comedy of Errors 
Act 2, Scene 1 

Dave Rudd

And now a few to get us started:

Outrageous Fortune (Hamlet, Act 3, Scene 1)





Is this a Dagger I see before me? (Macbeth, Act 2, Scene 1)




I come to Bury (Julius Caesar, Act 3, Scene 2)

If it be thus to dream, still let me sleep.

We shall winneth our next three games because we has't to.  If 't be true by chance we art did allow to draweth one, all of the fans shall rejoiceth  - Nigelus Adkinnius

Can't remember the play this came from but hopefully not a tragedy.

This season's definitely been a tragedy anyway

Et tu, Bruce?  (Julius Caesar, Act 3, Scene 1)

Caesar:
Let me have men about me that are fat, like Steveo of Evans
Sleek-headed men and such as sleep a-nights.
Yond Mourinho has a lean and hungry look,
He thinks too much; such men are dangerous.
