View Full Version : Should I go and buy a yellow 70s Arsenal shirt for Wembley?

I bought a classic red-and-white one to wear at last years final and it's not been worn since. It's one of the better aspects of the Wembley experience to see both sides of the ground in their club colours imo so it would seem churlish not to contribute. Fifty odd quid or whatever down the drain though, tbh.

40 pounds saved and multi-functional in respect of future non formal social events.


Though clearly in your case it is not black.

Jesus, that place is unpleasant. Gunnersaurus was in there and tried to high five me. It was disgusting :-(

Was thinking wearing it on Saturday a lucky shirt so to speak. Anyway I aslo have a Charlie George 71 final style. Anyway they often have them in sports direct for less than 20 quid. Have a look but it's been a while since I saw them.

the stand and try to catch his attention. If you look like enough of a slack-jawed cretin, the cameras might even pick you out and stick you on the jumbotron screens.

It's a bit more difficult now my seats are in the upper tier. Well, that and the fact that I haven't made it to a game in 3 years :-(

Still, the close season provides some respite. And the bloke behind me might have died from a particularly aggressive form of cancer by August :cloud9:

It's either Fiorentina or Barcelona.

What a fall from grace that shirt has had.

Else how on earth did it end up in your ownership. Auction?

It is simply a man doing his job. Somebody's son, father perhaps.

The big green c**t is an embarassment to Arsenal Football Club and should be in receipt of condign punished.

We've got a few.

Keown away CL one, blue strip circa 2001 - personal favourite.

I remember thinking she had rather nice legs.

Did you screw her? And so on and so forth...

self-esteem and thus be susceptible to a bit of flattery.

I thought this only briefly in passing based on her having decent legs. I couldn't see her face. Could have been a chap for all I know. :-

And passing your phone number to someone whose face you can't see and who was dressed as a piece of comedy ironmongery would just be embarassing. She/he didn't even have pockets for a start.

All this went through my mind in the space of about a second.

Those thin fabric, crisp white cotton uniforms they wear give me the right horn. And then there's the whole 'willing to touch me' thing.

and being away from home for a few days. I don't think this is unusual. Others I've worked with have experienced the same thing.

This condition has led to some problems in the past. http://www.awimb.com/images/smiley_icons/ohwell.gif

1988 at a guess, Brent Cross.

Naturally as you would expect, being mature about the whole thing the rest of us headed out with a bag of cans to see him and generally follow him for a while.

In his handwriting.

Can't even remember asking for it, just had it in my pocket next morning.

Not saying I would dress like one all the same.

As opening sentences go "I get outrageously horny at trade fairs" is up there with the very best.

Nothing worse to see than an old man wearing a shirt, like he could plausibly be out there.

Having said that, a smart yellow polo shirt isn't all bad.
