Thread | Oddest Football Club Merch You've Seen (not necessarily R's)
at 20:25 2 Mar 2025
Was out walking today and came across a very odd tribute to one of the local teams. I’m in and from NE London (the clue’s in the username!)
Outside a house I was passing, there was what appeared to be a standard council issue refuge bin emblazoned in claret* and blue with a picture of a beaming Jared Bowen on it.
Not sure whether the entire thing is an official West Ham product or whether the householder had just stuck a poster (or something) on their bin.
Seems strange unless they think he’s rubbish. (He’s not.)
I was wondering what’s the weirdest club merch anyone has come across.
* (I mean its purple really, but you have to humour them.)

Re. Your first sentence, I concur.
I doubt loan agreements ever state that a player has to be picked but there are definitely (financial) penalty clauses where if the stipulated number or games and / or minutes are not played, then the loan costs more.
Not saying it’s the case with QPR at the moment but it is a possibility. |

With his part is SU’s first goal, he’ll fit right in at Spurs how they currently play. |

Not on Twitter so have not seen this guy’s commentary but have downloaded the accounts from Companies House and had a look myself.
A couple of caveats - one, it’s Sunday morning and have only skim read. Two, although I am used to reading these, I am not an accountant or financial analyst.
A couple of things, I will comment on. Operating loss has reduced from just over £22m to just over £15m. So I think this means the much quoted almost £2m per month was reduced to c£1.25m. (From a punch in the bollocks to a punch in the chest!?)
Ruben has increased his control, taking shares from Mittal Group (effectively Amit?) and Richard Reilly, so no imminent American takeover which might have been on the cards previously?
I think Clive said we might be getting a Patreon on this, so I will leave it for people more qualified than me to comment further. (Pretty please, Clive.) |

Sadly I think we’ll see it at West Brom and possibly Preston. (Although I agree that it’s shit.) |

I just started getting into music when the Jam were in their pomp. The golden age of the 7" single (sales wise.)
Music seemed to be more tribal back then (maybe it always was) but in my neck of the woods almost everyone liked the Jam.
My music was 2Tone but it was 'permissable' to like the Jam. They were a great singles band.
Sad to hear this. 69 too soon in this day and age. [Post edited 19 Feb 21:36]

I had assumed that it was all the extra traffic from Eastern Asia.
Speed seems to have improved now. |

I love it.
My linguistics are not good enough to know whether that is K-Pop or J-Pop! |

Agree. As per my post above surely one of the Championship, League 1 or League 2 final day schedules will move to a different day. I can’t see how else Sky will do it unless they ignore ( I.e decide not to show) the finale of one or more of these divisions. |

Indeed. On May 3rd there’s also a full Premier league schedule and Leagues 1 & 2 all currently listed with 3pm starts.
So if Sky want to show any season denouements, something has to move under the current rules.
I mean we are assuming a move to 12.30 but who’s to say that it won’t be half 5 or some other abomination. |

Can’t find any internet traffic to substantiate this, seems that this is just a wind up by the OP. |

I can certainly recommend this to our South Korean readers, well worth a Patreon subscription for just a few Won. [Post edited 13 Feb 13:58]

Absolutely great. I really like the balance of the panel. Can’t recommend this enough.
Exactly where I was with the Jimmy Dunne situation better than I was articulating my thoughts on the message board. |
