The Generators will ensure that when Lawro needs to say something about the Germans he won't be lost for words. I'll give you an example, By typing in the command &lt;Steven Gerrard, Penalty box&gt; a phrase of "Oh my, Steven Gerrards spending more time in the Germans box than Steve McQueen in the Great Escape. That Film where we beat the Germans in the War that also ended with us beating the Germans". Hopefully this will help spur everyone on to praying that somehow we manage to bobble the ball luckily past the German keeper."</p> <p>"The Generator famously broke down during the Euro 96 match-up leaving John Motson completely stranded. He tried a few improvised lines such as "The Germans are pushing through the Midfield like...like...like a tank of some sort. Probably a German one.", and "The German defence here just like it was in Iwo Jima back in 1957". You can understand why we're employing a backup this year." </p>
