Adds a bit of colour to the thread.

Beware September RZB at the Hawthorns!!  I don't want to put the date down as I don't like to make jokes about it (Sept 11th)

New Years Day ~ Man Utd at the Hawthorns, well that will make the inevitable hangover worse I suppose!

Oh a new one

PMSL  We've had our share at Arsenal over the years too
This is a really interesting if disturbing article from one of the best Arsenal blogs. It's not about Arsenal btw but about the World Cup and the increasing power of sponsors.
Quite shocking actually that, in a stadium full of people wearing orange, these girls were subjected to this treatment

I am in two minds with this.  One is that this Bavaria lot are pushing it, they are basically trying to get free advertising and while I am all for the underdog I also dont want stadia full of bimbos employed by small companies on the chance wearing mini dresses or whatever it takes to catch the eye of stadium perv cam.

I also dont want to be a searched for logos upon entering a football match on the offchance some corporate watered down piss sponsor might take offence to it and have be arrested.

Two things to sort this:

One stop showing women spilling out of dresses and actually SHOW THE BLIDDY GAME.  Ive always been a grumpy old sod with the showing the crowd anyway. 

Two stop dolling out corporate tickets 40 at a time to numpties like Robbie Earle and give them to genuine fans.

Notice none of these solutions need stewards acting as fashion police.

Di Mat's reaction to the opening day fixture.
Well there can be strange results on opening day ~ so who knows......

Blackpool start with Wigan and Newcastle start with Man Utd, which I imagine will be televised over the opening weekend.

I think they might go for Spurs v City... 4th v 5th.

Brilliant 

Always say this when someone like Brazil is playing.  The camera man always seems to find an attractive young lady with a bikini top on who is dancing away and looks as if she will be falling out of said top very quickly....  Mr Pink having said that always becomes more interested at the screen at that point!

I think that is part of the reason why Robbie Earle has had his contract terminated with ITV, something about the young ladies in mini dresses at the Dutch match. 

Yes, a fresh new thread to start the new season off.

They could well do.  It certainly would be an interesting match after last season.

Think out of the promoted clubs though, they will go with Newcastle, possibly Blackpool as well.  Think we will be safe until we go to Anfield, when we may well be on the TV then.

Anyone noticed that the sponsorship has changed for the Championship, Leagues 1 and 2.  Instead of Coke, it's now npower.  Some interesting opening day clashes in the Championship as well.

LOL at all the flags in ere. I'll post mine sometime as I have to go out shortly

Yes it was those very girls that his tickets went to, apparently all ITV people got written warnings not to pass their tickets on.   Though why anyone should be allocated 40 tickets for friends and family at a venue 1000's of miles away from home while he is working and for a game involving two countries he has nothing to do with is anyones guess.  I think someone else should be questioned as well as Robbie.

Im lazy veggie has already done mine

settles in

Fulham at home isn't great, we always struggle against them. At least it's followed up by a trip to West Ham for some early season bubble bursting.

As I type this... Chungy scores for Korea. Woot.

Half time Argentina 2 South Korea 1.

laughed my head off at the goal scored by S Korea  

Back to join you peeps in the Premier

Spare a thought for us poor minnows in League 1

Allow me to also make my mark

Aww, although I'm a Gooner my love affair with footie started with Brentford and I still watch them when I can so we can wallow in league 1 together.

What I was wearing earlier. Got to get the new top before season starts..


Can't wait for Midlands derbies.


PMSL at Casillas' girlfriend getting blamed for the Swiss defeat.

Mexico 1 France 0.

Hey Darlo
I like France but they have been pants - I could do with them getting knocked out early so our players get a rest

I can see both sides - lol at perv cam btw - but I have a deeply ingrained hatred of branding and multinationals etc so I would tend to go against FIFA on this.This is the Beebs take on the whole thing

http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/dav...n_on_beer_stunt.html

Yeah, they're deffo not the force they once were

I still love Le Henry though Pam - even though he's a bad boy

Everyone to their own. Twould be boring if we all liked the same things

Penalty to Mexico.


2-0.

They need to make Wenger an offer he can't refuse to coach the national side. 

Oi!! Step away from the Wenger you
You ain't getting dominance of Norf Lahndan that easy. Anyway they have Lauren Blanc lined up for after the World Cup.
The only way Le Boss is leaving Arsenal is to take up a personal assignment for me

RZB - is that Dos Santos boy one of your babies at the Lane? I really like him

Welcome to the footy fred River. Word is that you may be getting Hodgson as your new manager.
We have you first game of the season - that'll be interesting. I would rather play you when we've seen a few games of yours under the new manager
Still..........

He is , although he's been loaned out constantly, we got him from Barca, think he went on loan to Ipswich first, now for a Turkish side, He has a great touch, but is a bit of a luxury player,  I wonder these World Cup games may add  a few £££ to  his price if we aren't going to keep him, He looked  good tonight.
