Why 'Wagatha Christie', why not 'Sir Arthur Coleen Doyle'?


Pun writers have been accused of laziness, in the protracted court case between Rebekah Vardy and Coleen Rooney. There were so many other football/crime writer related puns they could have used - like


Dashiell Hamilton Academical, Stephen Kingston Town or Raymond Chandlers Ford Veterans Football Club. All roll off the tongue just as easily.



Threatened one NewsBiscuit Editor: 'We refuse pander to our readers with something short and funny, anyone can do that. We prefer torturously convoluted and somewhat lame. Pd Jamie Vardy, Dorothy L. Players, John le Carré-on-doing-this-all-day-long-we've-got-hundreds-of-these-god-awful-puns


.............yeah, okay, alright, Wagatha Christie is better.'
