Goodbye England’s Dream

SHOW us a tragedy and we’ll show you Elton John.

He was there when Princess Diana died. He was there again when George Michael was caught napping at the wheel of his car. And he was there when Victoria and David Beckham wore matching leather outfits.

And now he’s on hand to see England through the pain of World Cup failure. Standing on a stage in Bournemouth, the man with the hair extensions shared his thoughts on all things football with his fans.

Says Elton: “There has not been an outstanding player at this World Cup…and I do not even want to talk about that f***ing Sven Goran Abba-dabba.”

As ever, Elton has tuned into the mood of the country. “As always the England fans heave been fantastic. They have been let down by the team and let down by people earning £125,000 a week. It is a disgrace.”

Cue a standing ovation, much clapping, cheering and even perhaps a growing chant of “Elton for England”.

Indeed, how long can be it before Elton releases a single and is heard singing: “Goodbye Sven Goran… and it seems to be that you managed the team by holding a finger in the wind…”

Repeat to fade…
