Wembley FA Cup Final Villa Surfer Flag

[Chris Jameson]

I'm hoping the notoriously efficient Chinese will be uncharacteristically incredibly inefficient this week.

The Aston Villa bugs me even more than the mention of Arsenal.

[Jimbo]

The flag might as well say:

"Hello. We're a smalltime outfit with no grasp of our own language. Bye.”

[Bad English]

Apart from the fact that it is basically a nu-football half and half flag abomination, how did they not see that it doesn't fucking scan.

 Here's the Sex Pistols = 5 syllables. Here's Aston Villa = 5 syllables.

And here's another 3 syllables: fucking twats!

THE Aston Villa. THE fucking Aston Villa. And enough people contributed money, actual money, money they had to earn and could have spent on beer or the kids, to fund it. I haven't had this sense of disbelief and disappointment in my fellow man since the election.

Can't we have a vote to ban the abomination?
Maybe a Kickstarter to have it intercepted before it reaches Europe?

I was thinking more a giant safety pin & alternative message to cover the arsenal bit, in keeping with the rather faux punk effort. Proper punk is Fugazi. Ethic not image. Straight edge innit.

Is there a nuclear option?

Again, if the initiators ever read this, massive credit for making the effort, just sorry all the content is so unfavourable...to the point of being unwanted/embarrassing. It's not a nice feeling to wish a villa fan project didn't happen :/

He calls his own idea "incredibly iconic", Jesus wept.

This puts me in mind of Desmond Olivier Dingle and The National Theatre of Brent's Iconic Icons.

Here is the episode Tracey Emin and How She Done the Bed

My feeling is that the flag will be come, go and quickly be forgotten. If the premise that it doesn't interfere with the "scarf mosaic" holds true then the sight of 25,000 Villa fans decorating Wembley in claret and blue will be quite impressive from the other end of the ground.

I can also see the scarves being useful and inspiring during the match...again 25,000 claret and blue Villa helicopter scarves in motion will provide a pretty awesome visual, and potentially for the whole game rather than a few minutes before.

If it was just The Villa, but here comes The Aston Villa!! Idiots

[PeterWithe]

Maybe we should borrow the Xavi flag, it would be less embarassing.

[PeterWithesShin]

It would appear Wembley have banned the flag. Because it mentions Arsenal.

[Jon Crofts]

That was always on the cards.  Right decision on the grounds it was shite.

[Jimbo]

The the correct decision.
