Ahhh …..the bad news thread

Apparently Nike has no interest in changing their naff collar design...

That's easily rectified. Just don't buy it - or anything else Nike makes.
Plenty of other stuff out there to buy.
They'll soon get the message.

 

According to the Daily mail there's "widespread fury" over the new strip. Anyone furious?

 

As mentioned in my first post on this subject, I'm not "furious" - a much over-used term in the press.
But I am annoyed, and irritated by Nike's attitude.

They wouldn't f**k around with the flag of the USA like that. Who do they think they are?
Their tatty stuff should be boycotted.

EDIT: (from the BBC News website)

It's understood the FA is standing by the Nike design
and rejects any suggestion that they are trying to or want to change the St George's flag.

The flag flying at Wembley stadium will not be changed.

The flag flying at Wembley Stadium will not be changed?
I should f**king think not!
Morons.
Now I am approaching fury about this stupid story.

 

No wouldn’t say furious , find it a bit strange that Nike took it upon themselves to fuke around with it as it’s the national flag , as Lardy said they wouldn’t do it to the Stars and Stripes!

 

At least they don't have to play in pink, like Fulham. Their fans are embarrassed rather than furious.

 

I still don’t understand why our national kit is always white and Blue.

Since when has our flag been white and blue ?

 

Saturdays without football drag.

 

In-ger-land ?

 

Watching

 

Think I saw princess Anne in the crowd

 

Two Charlton players in the England team !

 

Think we’re looking ok

 

Now THREE Charlton players on the pitch for England. We are mustard.

 

I don't go a lot on friendlies.

 

Poor Alan Titchmarsh...

You'll never see Jeans on North Korean TV
And as John Cooper Clarke once wrote, "You'll never see a nipple in the Daily Express".

 

After finally clawing my pension from the Pru I get my first payment only to find the tax man has swiped 40% of it already - and it wasn’t much to start with !

 

40% ?

Tory rich boy

 

It’s the HMRC computer that sets at 40% , they use a computer system supplied by Fujitsu …… sound familiar?

 

I have no recollection of what you are saying

 

I do not joke about money, and this is b******* what they have done to you.
