Good morning again.
My thanks to the excellent folks at Pretty Green for this.
London, 12 January 2012 – Under Armour (NYSE:UA), a global leader in sports performance apparel, footwear and accessories, announced today a multiyear partnership with England international and Tottenham Hotspur Football Club First-Team defender Michael Dawson.
Under Armour’s Senior Vice President, Global Sports Marketing Matt Mirchin commented on the partnership:
“We’re committed to empowering athletes worldwide and Michael’s leadership, team first attitude and dedication to hard work makes him the ideal partner for the brand. We look forward to seeing Michael on the pitch in our innovative football boots.”
Under Armour continues to build global momentum through the introduction of its innovative products and partnerships with the world’s best athletes and professional teams. Beginning in the 2012/13 season the brand will supply Tottenham Hotspur’s kit, as part of its technical partnership deal announced last year. In addition to Michael Dawson, brand ambassadors in the Barclays Premier League include Fulham FC’s Bobby Zamora and Blackburn Rovers goalkeeper Paul Robinson. Dawson will wear Under Armour’s performance enhancing UA Hydrastrike® II FG football boots on the pitch.

A natural leader, Dawson also captains Tottenham Hotspur on a regular basis, helping the Club qualify for the Champions League for the first time in the Club’s history in 2010.
i always like dawson, there was an incident wednesday that summed up his character for me.
Fellani shot from outside the box, dawson managed to get his head in the way, knocked him off his feet, ball then comes back in, he is up and headers it clear again when certain others would be laying down waiting for scotty with his water bottles
yeah,dawson and kaboom can certainly clear the lines with thundering headers
an incident on wednesday that sums up dawson for me a ball came into the box he didnt attack and ended up letting it hit his chest could have gone anywhere – hes an accident waiting to happen mark my words, no pace no guile
Now Harry, was that a cut and paste job? and can I share the free trainers you must have got.
My fish is rather cross today – he swallowed a carrot – type of canibal type of thing – then spat it out when he realised what it was. Will try him on the sausage roll later.
Sid it`s on the News, 2 Rashers of Bacon and a Sausage will kill you…Bound to kill the Fish….Just Saying.
I`ve been eating a Full English from about 1970, sh*t i`m living on borrowed time better go and organise a Bucket list, then there`s the Funeral…..ooohhh ! so much to do.
not the same breakfast I hope
Try him on a piece of toast, with a squeeze of lemon. He may be quite tasty.
that is what Mussolini once did – the fiscist bastard!
It was a cut and paste from the press release wot I got.
My only benefit was getting in early. If you can send me a Nespresso machine as a thank you I will be in all day Tuesday.
I’ve only got the decaf machine – its got no plug
Thank God I’ve had a few beers already before reading this one otherwise it would make no sense at all. I recommend you all do it at once!
Jacket Potato.
Tch, fancy having a fish who can’t use a microwave..Some owners, eh?
there are no problem fish.
Can someone tell Rafa to pipe down.
Seeing him in the papers commenting on City cracking and us being favourites is not good.
Do your talking on the pitch Rafa starting against our next opponents who are not City but Wolves tomorrow.
I have to agree.
As welcome as J**** farting on about ‘pushing on for top four.’
Our line ought to definitely be, ‘see you under the lights*’.
*Excludes British Summertime
I would much rather him say that than we’re crap and will be relegated and he doesn’t want to play here anymore.
However, better still would be for him to perform an Ode to the Ginger Dwarf Worrall-Thomson in a falsetto voice in the half time break from the centre circle
Not better still. Worse.
Thing is that Rafa is a big player and his glass will always be half full as he has the skill and the mental attitude to achieve big things. Big things like being part of a Netherlands side who reached the World Cup Final slightly against the odds.
Remember the words of Steve Waugh ” Attitude is infectious do I want to catch yours?” A big player with self belief can take the whole team with them.
Mindy was never bald.
Hyacinth Bucket’s husband?
Lady of the house speaking!
Fraid you’re not even close
Dick Van Dyke??
I’ve got my specs on now…….it’s Brucie!
Nah, can’t agree with that.
Would have been far better if he had said stuff like “I am going to score ten goals in our remaining games to fire Spurs to the title”.
That is really thinking big – and it is something he can deliver himself too because he is a good player who we give a lot of freedom to.
We can’t do anything about city so why comment on them, especially when we have Wolves first anyway.
preffered your shifty looking peter cook persona.
How can we believe if the players don’t?
I think Daws should start his own line. A la Phil Vickery and ‘Raging Bull’ clobber. I could see all the kids wanting their very own ‘Hoof!’ top. Really would have to be in conjunction with Crouch tho.
P.s love you really daws. Just pass the ball to Luka eh
