Fuck the Fuckers


I'd donate

If I get a ticket, I'll scrawl this legend on a bed sheet (well, a hankie).

Can you get a plane to fly past with the message too please?

Is there a picture of the design of the flag anywhere ?



Christ on a bike that is absolutely dreadful. And an embarrassing back-handed compliment to Arsenal as well.

"The Aston Villa". Jesus wept!

Never mind the bollocks, my banner would read:

Bringing passion to the cup - £200k
Bringing kids to the final - £110
Taking the cup home - PRICELESS!

I think the problem is they've tried too hard to be different and 'original'. So many will dislike it for different reasons, and a lot won't even get the reference.
More often than the most effective things are the simple and basic. The mosaic at the semi, £ protest, We're Not Fickle, Proud History scarves, even the 19th minute, all were ultimately very simple things that worked really well at the time.

As an example, a flag with the lion's head we see on the screen now and "Fight Like Lions" on it would, for me at least, be a lot more effective, it's all about us and it's not going to have very many hating it. Or even another mosaic with the same thing on. I just don't see how that "Never Mind" flag is inspiring to fans or players.

It's not even original. Here's St Pauli's version, which they've had for years:

They managed to get the grammar right, though, and they're German.

The mosaic was brilliant.  Really set the tone for the rest of the match.  It has to be repeated.

We'd like to thank everybody who made the effort and donated, China has promised to get it sent out on time.
Due to a strong reaction we modified the flag.

Good luck at Wembley everybody!

Brilliant. I'd donate a bedsheet for that.

"Sterling’s relationship with the Liverpool has deteriorated since giving an unauthorised interview to the BBC in which he insisted he was not a “money-grabber”.

From the Standard online today. They've seen the banner.
