The new shirts then.
There was me attempting to distract us from the dark forebodings of the transfer season quite unaware of the mood lightening not to mention out and out comedy value of the new shirts.
This latest collection from Maison Cluster**** has me feeling like I should be behind glass in a museum. I am no longer the target demographic.
The issue of course is that for all the good that being the customer does you, as a buyer you can only purchase or decline that which they lay before you. Like many jobs, bravery is a less spoken of requisite. It isn’t brave to place an order for two and a half million shirts. Brave is saying thanks for the coffee mush and leaving.
Puma do themselves no favours here and the overwhelming vibe is not that of one last hurrah, but a mumbled, ‘laters’ and the soft clunk of a chubb lock.
For those moaning in the recent past about designs, this launch must have had Michael Corleone’s words echoing in their minds. ‘Our true enemy has yet to reveal himself’. ‘Cos he fecking has now, son.
As discussed previously, whoever thought that Aurasmatosis was a good name for anything wants not firing, but shooting. Two rounds from close range in the back of the head to ensure that was their last idea. Ever.
Yet incredibly the howler of a name is compounded by the font. I don’t know what it’s called but it looks like something a regional TV company might have used to look futuristic and ‘edgy’ in the 1970’s.
And this unsightly cocktail is compounded again by opting for a logo sized for people who buy their spectacles from Poundland,
To wrap it all up of course as the bard said, the sickest joke is the price of the medicine. The wrong end of fifty sheets to look a pillock. And if you opt for a goalie shirt to look as if you’ve escaped from somewhere.
The issue is cowardice. A bit strong, H. This are only replica shirts, mate. True, but when will a football club have the Bow Locks to give the fans something decent? These polyester nasties have had their time and we’re rapidly returning to that 1980’s era of computer generated muck.
The sheer enormity of the production scale needed by clubs is such that you could go to a decent factory and get a 100% cotton shirt made to a pretty high spec and probably make a better margin that the recycled crisp packets generate.
- Aurasma. He’s a brash bi-curious Canadian beat cop who also bends the law now and again to make sure he always gets his man.
- Aurasma. When you want to stand out from the mild & bitter drinkers. Either down at your local or in the discoteque, ask for it by name.
- Aurasma. For centuries man has sought to bottle desire. Now Yardley for men have captured the most seductive pheromones imaginable.
I’m off to find a cardigan and listen to an episode of Round The Horne whilst I potter.
LIKE the white,purple is for prince fans.
Now he was a chap who knew what an Aurasma was all about!
I am no longer ignorant…just youtubed Aurasma…
looks like a perfectly reasonable bit of gadgetry however their logo font is not bold, as far as I can see.
I think(reluctantly) it could be the next big thing.
Oh! and Hills are offering 50-1 on spurs for the league…. gotta be worth a punt
Quote by Harry on the sale of Taarabt making the rounds: “He played in pre-season with us in New York last summer,” he recalled. “I played him in midfield there with Luka Modric – and Luka’s still recovering from it.”

That would be the perfect quote to aptly describe why I think Harry Redknapp is a c*nt.
Even when he’s made a mistake, he’ll come out with some twattish soundbyte quote to try to make himself sound like he was right all along.
I’m sure Taarabt might have had some more success as a replacement for Modric (not playing alongside him), or playing the “VdV” role which we of course weren’t employing at the time he’s referencing. And learning from them both.
I distinctly remember that Soccer AM show a few years back when Dawson and someone else were being asked who the most skilful player in the team was – and they both said “Adel” and gushed like they were in complete awe of the boy.
Still, ‘Arry got a cool £1million for us for him. Plus 40% of any sell on fee. :daumen:
Which got us some Pienaar, who was £3 million. And on £70,000 a week???

He just can’t keep his big festering trap shut, can he?
No doubt Taarabt will play brilliantly against us now. Might even pass to his team mates.
So why to QPR hate his guts and why are they hawking him round every club to get rid of him?
He is an arrogant little prick who is not good enough, Dos Santos just wants to drink, we can’t have players like this wasting positions in our squad.
Roland,
Still drawing on the tired “Dos Santos drinks too much” bollocks.
Ledley on the other hand, is the model citizen who doesn’t touch a drop?
And QPR hate the guts of their Championship Player of the Year?
OK. Funny that the QPR fans I’ve spoken to (admittedly only the two) rated him and appreciated his quality.
Taarabt obviously is a talented player but he is also a king size arsehole,which is not needed at the Lane
hindsight is wonderful thing!
1 mill. Trevor francis days. I can see em now in bargain hunt. Someones got done kipper style.
Everyone was hoping that Adel would become the next Ginola, but Harry’s only looking for athletes with character and leadership qualities. Harry’s not interested in teaching the younger players – you have to turn up at Spurs as the finished article. Adel was at the shirt signings when he came over last summer, and you could tell that he didn’t fit in. His was sulky and showed that he didn’t want to be there. By contrast, Bale, Eunice and even Pav were jovial. Ossie was a demi-god.
Bale had been getting some games and was being featured by then. Adel, on the other hand was getting ignored, and was probably already figured out he was going to be out of Harry’s plans. So hardly the best way to judge it.
I know being fair to Harry isn’t exactly your favourite subject but he was hardly Ramos’ boy wonder either. Jol only gave him 10 mins a month as well… It was all the other players could stand. 7 games in 3 years under 3 managers hardly speaks of someone persecuted by ‘one’ manager.
To be fair Astro I did not suggest for one minute he was persecuted by one manager (during his time at the Lane), I merely made a point about the difference between the case of Bale and the case of Taarabt regarding the players moods during the NY tour. Hardly the same circumstance so comparison is not fair.
My views on Redknapp will likely stand forever. He talks too much shit, and uncalled for/unsubstantiated shit at that. Harry made a remark about Taarabt and Modric not working together in the same midfield, to justify his cheap sale. I simply made the point that you shouldn’t expect them to be on the park together – The point was, and still remains, that we had a boy on our books from a young age who we got rid of too quickly having failed to give him a chance on the pitch. He could have at the very least been a squad member, perhaps replacing VdV when he misses a quarter/third of a season, or even playing in the shite cups to give the likes of Modders a break.
If you cast your mind back to the 4-4 vs West Ham, Taarabt was the catalyst for that comeback, and against Arsenal he terrorised them and should have been awarded a pen. And as you so rightly say, he hardly played. And yes, I do remember him not passing when he should have done at times, as much as I remember he was young and inexperienced, and prone to making errors. Like Bale, albeit when he was plying his trade as a full back.
What position do you think Bale should play, incidentally? Because I know I laboured the point that IMO he was best suited as a Left Midfielder before he established that position as his own and was being lauded by everyone. A far cry from the days of being called “monkey-face” or whatever it was fans on here called him when he seemingly couldn’t make a tackle, or was hopelessly out of position whilst he carried his unenviable “never won a league game for Spurs” tag.
Harry came close to offloading him too, didn’t he? :whistle:
i like them,nice white one and the yellow stripe on the darky
you have to remember everything must be tried because one of these days we will have a shirt that will beat man utd and then it should be put in the hall of fame
:daumen:
I couldnt care less about the shirts, realy who gives a fuck, its the prats IN the shirts thats important, and the cunt telling them what to do, i dont care what colour their socks are either…ffs
:daumen:
I would add that “it’s the prats in the shirts up front that are impotent”.
Basically them up front are unable to get aroused enough, meaning they cant score.
Fatfish waxes Kingfish :shifty:
