Nah, it's nailed on, Brian, that the Brits will finish bottom because we're such arrogant bastards, no one likes us, nowhere, never, and despite the wealth of musical talent that we have, we put some gurning karaoke singers in there stinking up the entire procedure.
We should put Idiot Savant in there, but kidnap the drummer.....

Why are we arrogant ? Why do we look arrogant ? We never look arrogant, do we ?
Anyway, you heard it here first: THE UNITED KINGDOM IS THE LEEDS UNITED OF THE EUROVISION SONG CONTEST.
A once great team of competitors, great reputation, except the political voting is like a 15 point deduction in Eurovision.
But didn't the Leeds United of today manage to wipe away that deuction under the leadership of a great British competitor and didn't they CELEBRATE a point in the League away at 'Lickle 'Ol 'Artlepool , where Cloughie was painting our fences whilst Sandie Shaw and Lulu won the Eurovision ? !
Can we win this contest ? If "eleven braw lads from the far off North" could get to the Play Off Final and become EIGHT MINUTES AWAY from the Championship and nearly beat the so called mighty SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY, then...
...Three words for you: YES, WE CAN !
