Kid Dynamite 6985 Posted November 3, 2016 Author Share Posted November 3, 2016 Man U are a spent force now. Similar to Liverpool coming out of the 80s. Their aim these days is to scrape the top 4 but will be lucky if they make the top 6. Same will happen to Arsenal when Wenger leaves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He took over with them in the relegation mix just two years ago as well. He's a great manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noelie 103 Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Speaking of other games.................... wot the fuck is FIFA playing at when they say you can't wear poppies on Armistice Day during a game!! Their stand is nowt Commercial, Personal, Political, or Religious, on the shirts. FFS.......Commercial?.............possibly if someone's making money from sales, but arm-bands with poppies are not what you would call adverts, and the money is not going to the team. Personal....................possibly, if a member or friend of the family had lost their life in some past or current conflict. This is a remember day. Political......................possibly, no fucking way. Religious....................possibly, unless there's atheists & non-believers on the pitch, and there might well be. I see England & Scotland are going to defy the FIFA ruling and accept the consequences, but Wales & Northern Ireland are not, and won't wear poppies.

PaddockLad 17070 Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 5live were saying last night that it comes down to England and Scotland hardly being likely to make a complaint about each other. Serbia and Azerbaijan would be entitled to complain about Wales and Northern Ireland wearing poppies though and that would invoke a likely points deduction by FIFA. Don't know how accurate that is tbh,it would be pretty plain for FIFA to see if rules were being broken themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 34787 Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 I do think it's being made into a big deal when it should never have been. As has been pointed out, it's a new thing. It was never a tradition that the England team should wear poppies as a commemoration. Just have a minute's silence before the match to remember what it's all about instead of this pathetic point scoring thing with Fifa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 6985 Posted November 11, 2016 Author Share Posted November 11, 2016 (edited) Funnily enough it just came up on my Timehop that I posted this article 5 years ago. Tbf FIFA have said the same thing all along, its the FA kicking up a stink , again. ''The Football Association, stung by the failure of England's soccer World Cup bid, and caught up in (widely-shared) concerns about malpractice within the international body, has been pushing hard to get the England team allowed to wear poppies on their shirts during Saturday's match against Spain. FIFA twice rejected the move, pointing out that it forbids "commercial, religious and political symbols" on shirts - and highlighting the wider precedent the move might make. But in a compromise move, it will allow the British home nations to have a poppy on black armbands, it was announced tonight. "Their second request for special dispensation was always going to fail. The FA knew that, but they made it anyway The Eurosport article continued: "While ED absolutely supports the Poppy Appeal, it actually thinks FIFA might have got this one right. "Poppies on football shirts are a relatively new phenomenon - last season was the first time every Premier League club wore one. "For decades previously, it was perfectly possible for football to honour the country's war dead by other means, such as the laying of wreaths and a minute's silence. Both of these are approved by FIFA and seem like perfectly apt tributes. "In any case, it's not about FIFA passing judgement on Remembrance Day, but whether it should set a precedent allowing subsequent, more controversial, emblems to appear."

Happy Face 29 Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 The whole poppy thing is a modern phenomena, back in the eighties no teams wore poppies international or club. Has something to do with social media iyam "I am very angry about a" "Why are people angry about b?" It's become nothing more than a content generator for people who have nothing else to post but photos of cats and food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
