The Mailbox reckons the backlash to a ‘playful’ flag on the England shirt is typical of a nation that never wins anything. Also: it’s time to drop Harry Kane…Firstly why you’re angry about “the desecration of our national flag” is very confusing because at every single England game there are hundreds of desecrated England flags carried by fans with names written on them, the colour changed etc. I don’t ever recall any outrage about the desecration of the flag then.
Now if they had changed the flag on the chest I could understand it because that genuinely is the official representation of the flag but a tiny piece of clip art on the back? Y’all must have super easy lives if that’s what makes you angry. The coloured cross is of significance, you may like it, you may dislike it, that’s it, it means nothing, it’s a very expensive item of polyester clothing, that is literally it.
So, why the anger? Why are politicians weighing in? What harm has actually been done? I’m not suggesting people HAVE to like the multicoloured cross. But, isn’t the furore indicative of something darker? A deep-seated hatred towards “the other” who is changing their dear green and pleasant land? Of course, some people simply think it looks crap. Fine. Whatever.
Now, call me cynical, but I think it’s all just marketing. We’ve been living in this outrage era long enough for the marketing departments of corporate companies to be smart enough to harness its power. If you’re in the Nike marketing department, your England kit launch has just been commented on by the Prime Minister and the leader of the opposition, whom is likely to be Prime Minister before the year is out. I’d be chalking that up as a massive win.
I grew up watching Cantona strut around the Carling with his upturned collar and, though not a United fan, he looked so goddamned cool, that I’ve always had a soft spot for the full collared jersey. Honourable mention to the 1994 kit, which sadly never got a tournament outing. Always loved the entirely needless, dinky three-lions badge squashed into the front of the collar just inches from the actual badge, which for some reason made me think of the little internal mouth of the xenomorph from Aliens. And 1990’s classic design, Gazza’s tears, Nessum Dorma, boys in the park, hmm, isn’t it? Marvelous.
Central def – Ezri Konsa, first bit of controversy, between him and Branthwaite for me, but Villa are 4th in the league and he rarely puts a foot wrong and can bring the ball out. But would also be happy with Branthwaite. Like I said a bit controversial but im sure that team would win. P.S. No Maguire, Phillips or Henderson in sight, and all players are playing well “who decided that the PSR period should be the year up to June 30…?”. A little reading and you can find that the answer is…Yep, it seems that the clubs themselves set the exact dates their accounting periods start and end. Wolves for instance, finish their accounting period at the end of May.
One thing I’ve got to say though, them rules is a mess – we now have a situation where Everton and Forest are going to get points deduction in this FY for their misdemeanours last year, Everton are also getting a deduction from the year before and now, Leicester are staring down a points deduction from last year being applied at some unknown date in the future when they actually manage to return to the Premier League.
At the other end of the scale, Brighton’s remaining fixtures are horrible. They could easily drop out of the top half altogether. This would no doubt please F365, as you’ll be able to keep trotting out your new favourite stat about “5 wins in 20 games” or whatever it is now.Next season’s Champions League is the first one with the expanded format, ostensibly meant to let the big boys have more chances of qualifying .
