Given it was Monday morning and not a tremendous amount was happening in the football world, we decided to capitalise on the Oscars being fresh in everyone’s mind to get some serious punnage going. The long and short of it is that #FootballFilms was hugely popular and was trending across the UK within about half an hour. Here are the best efforts we got through the our account. Lovely stuff.

A classic. RT @pistolar700: Teenage Mutant Ninja Skrtels. #FootballFilms
