A game between two football seasons...
Literary Equations pinched from here, with thanks.
Vladimir Nabokov - John Updike = Walker Percy
Margaret Atwood + Margaret Drabble = Iris Murdoch
Jane Austen/Helen Gurley Brown = Helen Fielding
(Foucault * Derrida * Lukacs * Barthes * Heidegger * Lacan * Bataille * Bourdieu) - (Nietzsche + Marx + Freud) = Australopithecus afarensis
Bob Dylan - Woody Guthrie = Robert Zimmerman Ph D, Mathematics
Samuel Beckett + (William Shakespeare/10) = Tom Stoppard
Samuel Beckett / Alfred Hitchcock = Harold Pinter
Peter Ackroyd + Hunter S. Thompson = Iain Sinclair

James Joyce - Flann O'Brien - Laurence Sterne - Jonathan Swift - ... = Frank McCourt
(Walker Percy - Harper Lee) + (Henry Miller - Samuel Beckett) = Tom Robbins
Shall we add a few poetry equations (or political ones if you prefer)? Some shots in the dark, getting-the-hang-of-it efforts follow.
(Sylvia Plath + Lewis Carroll) - Anne Sexton = Jo Shapcott
Walt Whitman + Sigmund Freud - Robert Frost = C.K.Williams
Theodore Roethke + Jack Benny = Billy Collins
W.H.Auden - Goethe - Brecht = Edward Lear
or
Elmer Gantry + Hughie Green + Peter Mandelson = Tony Blair
No, not sure about any of these... Play among yourselves, or with yourselves.

With that lot you'll never get out of the old 4th Division!
Presumably Whitman is your goalie?
I don't know.. I think Theodore Roethke is a dead ringer for Paul Gascoigne on a good day (for Gascoigne, that is).
