Being the annoying fan on Sky Sports' Transfer Deadline Day coverage: A How-To Guide

You too can be the gurning football fan on telly.

7. Make a good first impression

By gliding in from stage right and staring through your jam-jar specs and down the camera to the watching football world. You can already feel the texts buzzing into the mobile phone in your pocket. Youโ€™re a legend.

6. Bring the funny

Weโ€™re on the Mrs Brownโ€™s Boys end of the comedy spectrum rather than say, Louis CK or The Office. Gurn behind the presenters back and you wonโ€™t go far wrong.

5. Get creative with signs

Get an adult to help you with the scissors but cornflakes boxes and toilet roll inserts make great placards. This chap paid homage to Skyโ€™s Deadline Day Daddy, Jim White.

Well done, young man.

4. Donโ€™t get too creepy

Like these two Norwich fans.

3. Do a little dance by some roadworks

2. Help the reporter do his job by throwing footballs at his head

They love it, obviously.

1. Donโ€™t โ€˜spoil it for everybodyโ€™

By making rude gestures and other such Deadline Day faux pas. Or Jules will call you out.
