Heaven eleven

Still on gaming matters, the Decent People First XI plus subs has been pinned up on the board in the traditional manner, two days before the game.
Just so's you know, I've met two, had one stroke my chest, received a letter from one, spoken to one on the phone, seen one on the cricket field and seen one from the cricket field.
The next question: who are their opponents in the Beastly People XI?

The beastly XI is, obviously, much easier to fulfil. I assume the criteria to be that theya re people you would leave the pub rather than have them buy you a drink?
Peter Stringfellow - so obnoxiously, nauseatingly unpleasant that I switch the TV off if he comes on. Sexist, age-ist, shallow capitalist.
The 'cheap as chips' bloke, like a bad het camp version of Peter Stringfellow. Perhaps he sould be on the subs bench so when Stringfellow retires hurt this one can take over.
Margaret Thatcher. Well, someone was bound to say it.
Three nominations from me: Chris Moyles, Chris Moyles and Chris Moyles.
I think Thatcher should perhaps be the manager of the Rotters XI. The Rotters' Rotter, if you like.
Sometimes genius consists of saying the obvious thing, true generalship of walking through the middle rather than going round the edges. Your BEASTLY (for purposes of this and all other games I am Scots although I am beginning to think that I might be taking up my option on Spanish citizenship if this island gets any worse) ut dicitur Prime Minister, the ODIOUS BLAIR, also spelled frequently BLIAR.
