Gutted not to be on the retained list- perhaps mine were a bit too subtle TS?

reliant robins stopped by lowe substitute for street. No offence to the author, but is this really top five stuff? Or is there a gag there I don't get? I know reliant robins drive on a street, but, man, this makes no sense to me.

Alty's nickname is the Robins, there league form is Reliable,Ryan stopped current run, and Lowe was a sub for Kevin street.

Yes, I see all of those points, that's not what I meant. I was talking about the suitability of such phrasing for headlines, not questioning the accuracy of the content. I know Ryan came on for Street, but "lowe substitute for street" hardly screams "read me!" Never mind.

Cheers JP, and dachshund its a bit of fun, i did'nt see your contribution but if it is as good as your Predictions on the matchday results you would probably win it hands down www.shrewsburytown.co.uk/PredictionLeague/The guy in fourth is chasing you ;D

Only one and four, for me, capture the idea of headline writing - a pun, a rhyme, alliteration, at least something dammit! Though four, I would say, would benefit from changing "Lowe show" to "Lowe blow," as a take on "low blow." But Lowe show is fine too.

Hey, I know it's a bit of fun, it just seemed very very strange. My offering should not be top five either - too long and too bad. Forget the prediction league - I own it
