With the start of the Premier League season, one thing will be more important than any other.
Your team signing a striker? Nope, there’s a way round that.
Getting tickets for the opening game? No biggie, there’s always another way of watching.
We’re talking, of course, about the rush to absolutely nail the most important of pre-season rituals, the fantasy football team name pun.
Every year it becomes harder and harder to come up with something that’s new, original, groan-inducingly funny and 20 characters or fewer, but we’ve done our best.
Feel free to take some of these and pass them off as your own to impress your mates, but be aware that we’ll know your guilty secret.
