The 2015-16 World Fitba Thread!

Everyone. Its who Liverpool are buying. Everything. Its who they are selling.

 

It does look pretty cool. Whats rent like? 9 grand a month?

 

£680 a month all inclusive (with the exception of council tax)

 

council tax = £8,320 per month

 

::

Council tax is insane around these parts dude, can't lie. However, as long as I have enough left for a bag of bud I'm good

 

London's on a wheel generating 1.21 gigawats per second and it's all going to the landowners & banks.

 

Yep.

 

x2. As I've said before, I will never buy a property in London.

 

The numbers of native Londoner's leaving the city is mad. Something equivalent to 10% of the population of the city in the last 10 years. Who knows what % of native borns that was, something like one in six, I guess.

 

London is basically minority or Polish or whatever now. Nobody with any fucking brains wants to live here. Its for the very very Rich and the very very Poor. Nobody else.

 

Tower Hamlets is basically a Bangladeshi Ghetto run by a racist Mayor who uses the place like his own fiefdom. Its no wonder people are packing in.

 

London is a crazy place. I love the city but could never afford to live there - in the NE I own my own home with front and back garden and have a good job and by most standards I'm pretty well off. In London, on the same wage, I'd barely be able to rent a flats and would be a pauper. Mental.

I'll eventually wind up on the Wirral. Sure of it mate.

 

I prefer it up here. Its cheaper, less crowded, less manic and more friendly. Money goes a LOT further and you get a lot more for your pound. I do love London but then I'm only there for a week at a time. The cost of living down there is just obscene.

MTF

 

Real Madrid to bid 100 million euros for Fred.

 

FUCK

Ah cannae wait tae stroll oot in the latest, official Scoattish clobber fer the Commonwealth Games... imagine hoo prood Ah'll feel when Ah defeat Jimmeh at pool in this gear:

"TAKE a bow Jilli Blackwood – Team Scotland’s kit has won a gold medal for bad taste.

But maybe our opening ceremony parade uniform is more fashion than design.

We all love a party and we’ve all been there, digging into the far reaches of our elderly relatives’ wardrobes for something to wear to the stag do or a last-minute ruffle for a Hallowe’en bash.

But to ask our athletes to pose around Parkhead on July 23 in fancy dress gear to celebrate the start of Glasgow 2014 is taking the joke a bit too far.

The sight of our finest runners and swimmers being kitted out like something from a 1980s Lunn Polly advert or an assistant from Greggs the bakers has brought ridicule and scorn.

There has been no hiding place on social media. Fran and Anna, Brigadoon, Take the High Road, curtain material and the cover of a shortbread tin have all been mentioned.

It’s even been unkindly suggested that Jilli’s turquoise, fuchsia and navy tartan offering looks as though it was thrown together from the House of Stevie Wonder.

It’s gone viral on the web – some are laughing and others feel sick.

Jilli’s a former Glasgow School of Art graduate and now trades as a textile artist in the creation of unique slash and show style of fabric haute couture – but surely the alarm bells should have sounded long ago.

Her appreciation of her own abilities via her website must have waved a red flag.

Apparently she “realises the talent with which I have been gifted must be expressed. I am obsessed with creating and if I don’t my karma suffers”.

There’s a touch of the David Ike in her statement about the effect her clobber will have on our sporting role models – and we’ll get to the shellsuits shortly.

She said: “I want them to feel stronger, greater, faster through my clothes.”

You could almost hear a collective snapping of hamstrings as the textile artist unveiled her range and athletes suffered the embarrassment of being clothes horses for the day.

There’s a touch of the Emperor’s New Clothes about this issue – why did nobody tell her?

Caramel socks and a blue shirt with a pattern that looks as though it took its inspiration
from the bottom of a swimming pool.

A picnic blanket doubling as a shawl for the females and a stone-coloured leather bag with the added accessory of a red face.

A member of Team Scotland’s netball squad asked: “Have you seen what they’re asking us to wear at the opening ceremony?”

But it’s not the first fashion controversy we’ve had from the would-be trendsetters at Glasgow 2014.

Games volunteers have been issued with a step-by-step guide on how not to wear their shellsuits. Organisers have dished out 15,000 trackies to helpers and bosses want them to be more sports-casual than Shellsuit Bob.

Now I’m anything but in vogue but Team Scotland have achieved something for the country the Independence referendum never could.

The parade uniform has united the nation in the belief it’s better to change.

Last word from the artist herself.

She said: “There will be no mistaking this is the Scottish team as they proudly step out at the opening ceremony.”

Too true, Jilli.

All they’ll be missing is a See You Jimmy hat."

SEE YOU, Jilli!

 

I saw a photo of 'Jill' and she definitely had the seeming of somebody with a diseased mind. Either that or her brief was 'come up with an outfit so howling that even the beefcake with the folded arms won't be able to pull in it.'.

 

Billeh, there's noo way in hell I'd play you at pool with you wearing that clobber. I'd certainly not stand behind you as you take your shots either. Good golly, Billeh, sort yourself out, you'll scare all the customers out of the pub with that thing!

 

I've said it before but.....train websites:shit #2::shit #2::shit #2:

 

Stations of the Train. Hut misses for the third time.

That really made me laugh - a fanny repelling ootfit. Ah shouldnae laugh, it'll probably be oor strip next season.

Point taken, Jimmeh - Jejeje!

 

Arsenal confirm signing of Sanchez. Great news. He'll help a lot. All incoming strikers get compared to Thierry Henry but I think Sanchez is more of an Ian Wright type and exactly what Arsenal needs.

I was haggling over price but if Lallana goes for 25m then Sanchez is worth 31m.

 

Good buy. Yeah it's unfortunate about the Henry thing, he is a once in a generation type player, tough boots to fill.

 

Arsenal spending for once ... Good player for them

 

Superb signing for Arsenal. I read Khedira didn't renew with Madrid yet as he'd like to join fellow internationals Mertesacker and Ozil. That could be another wonderful coup for them.

 

Very good news.

 

I'm glad to see Sanchez rated so well by you guys, because I do respect your opinions.

 

Spent last summer window too and surprise surprise Arsenal win a trophy.
