And what better way could the powers that be at the Premier League and the FA finally be persuaded that video technology needs to be introduced into our game than via the medium of a ‘Parklife’ meme? Austin, for his part, endorsed this latest edit – presumably so that he could avoid a hefty fine from the FA for criticising the officials… ArsenalFanTV The original version PARKLIFE ? /Lw5ApT7KBeĪll valid points, we think you’ll agree. If this is the best, most-watched league in the world then give them all the help they need. “People go on about VAR (Video Assistant Referee) – they clearly need help.
That is a joke,” Austin, dripping with the enraged sweat of a man scorned and fiercely staring at the interviewer with a nasty bloodshot eye, incandescently spat. “We scored a perfectly good goal that was ruled out for offside. Post-match interviews with top footballers are so often littered with the clichéd spiel that comes as a result of their intense media training (“At the end of the day, it’s all about the three points”, “We go again”, “On another day, we’d get the rub of the green”, etc), so Austin’s refreshing speak-from-the-heart approach following his side’s 1-1 draw with Watford on Saturday (November 10) took plenty of us by surprise. We’ll get on to Charlie’s entry into this very niche Hall of Fame in more detail shortly, but here are some of the best ‘Parklife’ memes to have emerged over the past few years. It’s clearly a winning formula, producing a fresh set of laughs over the weekend when Southampton forward Charlie Austin’s impassioned post-match interview was Parklife’d good and proper by a droll football fan. The enduring popularity of Blur‘s glorious 1994 single – the eternally-quotable title track from their third studio album, of course – has made it a prime candidate for entry into the incessant world of internet memes in recent years, with snippets of Damon Albarn barking out “PARKLIFE” being cunningly edited around clips of (mostly) famous people pontificating about one thing or another. Children, the elderly, your neighbour’s cat: all the people ( so many people) know what you’re talking about whenever you shout “PARKLIFE”, whether it’s for a wholly appropriate reason (seeing Phil Daniels on the street) or a decidedly inappropriate reason (seeing Phil Daniels on the street).
