lol @ that GK jersey

Don't read the Sun.

Does £150m for 15 years seem like a shit deal to anyone else?
Arsenal also not getting good deals for their shirts imo, Nike (£8m/pa), Emirates (£6m/pa). Compare these with other teams and they are pretty laughable. Also don't they not even get the full cut from their stores?

Liverpool - Adidas (£12m/pa) rising to £15m when the deal ends supposedly and Standard Charter (£20m/pa).

United - Nike (£25m/pa) and Aon (£20m/pa).

Chelsea - Adidas (was £10m/pa) and Samsung (was £11m/pa) but both have been renewed and the current values aren't known but I guess they've increased.

Spurs - Autonomy (£20m/pa), Investect (£5m/pa plus bonuses), Puma (£5m/pa). Spurs changing to Under Armour worth £10m/pa next season.

Yeah it's not the best deal in the world when compared to the other big teams. The shirt deal doesn't run as long as the stadium deal so that's up for renewal soon. I think the fact that we got all the money up front rather than a portion per year was a huge deal for us and not something we could knock back. In hindsight, it's worked great for Arsenal and we wouldn't be in this position if we've had signed a £250m deal where we only get £18-£20m per year

Speaking of football shirts...whats the worst premier league one ever?

Chelsea had a truly disgusting grey jersey with an orange streak in the mid ninties. Either that or Liverpools beige reebok jersey around the same time. Can't link on phone, prob a good thing considering how bad they are.

I actually remember loving the look of the Cameroon jersey at the WC in 2002 with the black t-shirt inside them..something different!

For the people who have read The Malazan books and the Game of Thrones books:

Is it worth taking a break from Eriksson to get the Game of Thrones read, considering that I won't want to watch the show until I've read the books?

I'd read them both side by side like I did, if you want literary orgasms.

This thing

Yep- it's hideous. Umbro were never the best designers tbh. Although I did like their yellow and blue jersey.

[Strewelpeter]

Rugby too has some classics

[Hatedajacks]

One of my staff handed me a wallet a lady left behind at the Till as she was paying. In it was 870 euro and 9 cred cards,there was also a work id so i rang them and they said they would let her know. she just came in with the hubby,i handed it to her and not only did we not get a thank you but the husband told to count all the cash to make sure its all Still there.
So pissed off,rude pricks. I shud have put it on the fav in the next and that would have been my IO ticket

[eoghan104]

Im guessing there might be an overlay in the Emporium tonight? They need 40 runners to hit it and with the BH weekend and The Irish Open on they might not get that.

I left my fooking bank card at home today though. Any of the regulars heading in?

Umbro get it very right or very wrong. Adidas ftw. Nike are lolbad.

Umbro getting it wrong. New Ireland kit.



Umbro getting it right - New New York Cosmos kit.

Actually interesting question - if the roles were reversed and when you got to the car you realised you were a deuce short would you go back in?

[dannydiamond]

A lad in the footie forum did a mock up of an Ireland jersey based on Umbros new designs.
It's not real but ironically the nicest Ireland shirt i've seen.

lol remember my ma buying me that jersey and telling her to get me the home jersey instead.

[tylerdurden94]

Looking forward to reading the updates and visiting the Burlo - hope the weather outside doesn't get too nice to drive those inside crazy!

See Rebecca McAdam posted on Facebook that Tatjana Pasalic is going to be working the IO for PP nice

SPOILER

Seems like PP have put together a good crew for this, just a shame you had to get a real job and can't work this

Really want to get to the Burlo this weekend as I need some time to blow off steam,

The Boyles market has a good list. We'll be concentrating mostly on the IPB lads for our blogging. And of course other characters as well. We will try to adopt another El Tren a like

If there's half as much laughs as last year it will be a right blast.

I encourage anyone in the area to drop in and say hi and have pints.

The big question is what lucky person will be the subject of this years 'Rounders meets' segment

[DeadParrot]

[Flushdraw]

I play a lot of Online Footy manager games, and been a nice start to the season in this game. Arsenal could learn a thing or 2

At the halfway point now. Next season will be all change i'd imagine

[Lafortezza]

Could anyone recommend me a good book on Nike, i.e. the company? I'm interested in something that offers a history of how it grew from Phil Knight selling runners he made at home out of the boot of his car into a behemoth corporation, while discussing the social implications of its rise in popularity.

Bit of an obscure one I know, but nothing the BBV can't handle.

Great book, deals a little with how Magic/Bird/Jordan made both ESPN and Nike into the companies they are today. Possibly not in the depth you want though for Nike.

Thanks Kev,

I have enough for the tourney but don't like going in without a few quid for cash when I bust before the break.

I might just head in and play the tournament anyway for a bit of craic.

Appreciate the offer. Good luck in the super sat if you play.

Just walked up to the Citywest Shopping Centre and 3 little knackers decided to throw stones at me from across the road, obviously not fans of the Philly Eagles jersey. Thankfully they were shit at throwing the cunts. Bottle of vodka, litre of milk and 2 limes counts as shopping I suppose?
