Spurs being mocked by their own sponsors;

Pretty funny really.

It is their paint sponsor. Paint. This is their new tagline.

 

"Spurs - like watching paint dry."

Fucking bizarre if you ask me. You announce a new sponsorship deal for the club and the sponsor starts mocking you. Dulux must have some arsenal fans running their social media accounts!

Imagine if Everton announced Paddy Power as a sponsor.

Pogba, who a few weeks ago was wanting to move on at the end of the season if reports are to be believed, wants half a million quid a week wage to sign a new contract at united or from Real, PSG or Juve if they want to sign him.

 

In other news, the gimp at united still thinks he has a chance of winning the title this season. Im presuming he means the league title and not title of the biggest gimp in football.

[Bobby Hundreds]

There's always a chance until there isn't. Pogba is so massively overrated it's untrue. Its lauded if he makes a pass you see every midfielder make on a daily.

I've not had a Twitter ban before, but it's probably incoming. My take on Herbert's 'journalism'...

So many journo's taking this opportunity to increase their clicks, paywalls have all come down for the good of the "football family...." Horrible bastards.

I’d ban you for using and instead of an. I totally get if Twitter does ban you for it. 

[coachpotato]

Herbert by name, Herbert by nature, writing for the Daily Xenophobe and having a dig at Liverpool, while ignoring the other 5 clubs owners who also signed up for the shitfest too.
How fucking original.

Bastard. I’ve taken and note of your name.

UEFA taking the moral high ground and not being laughed at "a spit in the face of fans" indeed.

 

Admittedly I could have used many examples, but UEFA concerned about fans was truly amazing in my opinion.

Chelsea will be playing todays cup final in next seasons kit...

 

 

Both of these things are hideous.

Think they want to wear it in the CL Final as well but UEFA told them to fuck off as it wasnt registered for the competition at the start of the season. Funny as fuck if right.

Not sure how recent a rule that is, because a few teams have worn the following season's kit in the CL final. Dortmund, Chelsea and Bayern for example.

[Stickman]

Wonder if they'll celebrate Leicester a team who's spent nowhere what they gave and her won the League and FA cup in 5 years while they've won fuck all in 26 years

We couldn't wear the new 2019/20 kit in the 2019 CL final.

Manchester City v Chelsea, Porto.

"Modern" Cup Final day - with League games played on the day and the fucked up 5.15 kick-off has been near the very top of my list of "shitness of modern football gripes" for years now... (I remember, for instance, Steve Bruce's Wigan handing United the League title in an early game on Cup Final Day some years back by obligingly playing a game of kick-to-kick with them for 90 mins.  In fact, I've completely forgotten who even played in the Cup Final later that day).

 

But today was rather nice I thought.  I tuned in just before Leicester scored... and I had no idea they were letting some fans in for this. 

 

Leicester breaking their Cup duck and seeing people back at football, it almost felt a bit like the old "Romance of the Cup".

 

I was even kind of happy for Rodgers.

 

Getting soft in my old age.

I had it on while decorating and ended up jibbing that off to sit and watch it properly from about 30 minutes in. Having crowd noise that was real, and on cue, and meaningful made this possibly the most enjoyable neutral match I’ve watched all season. It wasn’t a particularly great game but I really enjoyed it.

[Vincent Vega]

And we’re supposed to believe that UEFA gives a shit about football fans.

I'm sure Gary Neville and the full force of Sky will be mobilising as we speak to right this horrible injustice.

We did in 85 too, but understandably it's not referred to very often.

[Trumo]

Bayern did it in last season's final too.
