Wembley FA Cup Final Villa Surfer Flag

[itbrvilla]

The the correct decision.

The this.

The flag might be shit but it doesn't make it the correct decision.  Funny Liverpool got away with one twice the regulatory size.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Those pesky, busybodies at the Football Supporters Federation should keep there bloody noses out of our business and the Arsenal fans should be extremely offended.

As much as I think the flag is bollocks, fair play to all for coming together and telling the FA to do one with their sanitisied opinion. I think we may see a u-turn from the FA in the coming days.

[Smoke]

Can't wait for the MOMS end of season Piss up, they're trying to arrange it at Marston's in Burton so I believe.

The The The were a decent band.

Apparently this is the only band whose records people from Leeds can never ask for when entering a shop.

[Jimbo]

There is still time to create a 'Fuck the Fuckers' mosaic.
I think we could do it if we had enough post it notes.

Silhouettes of the FA, BBC and Arsenal logos and Steven Gerrard's rat-face at the top; at the bottom the legend: FUCK THE FUCKERS in a speech bubble emanating from the cheeky grin of the 'Villa Villain' Clarry Blue.

Can someone please knock this up on photoshop? I'll send it to China with a cheque for three grand - I think we still have time.

Best news I've heard all day.

Absolutely. I fucking hate the FA, Wembley and everyone else who seem to take pleasure in turning the Cup Final into an expensive, sanitised, TV-friendly, fan-unfriendly, corporate snouts in trough session. I honestly can't think of an organisation that I dislike as much as the FA. I'd love it if they somehow sneaked this flag in and unfurled it just to spite the FA.

It would have been more palatable if they'd come out with

"We don't like to say it, but it's not coming in because it's a bit shit."

[kippaxvilla2]

Another example of which is the ludicrous 5.30 kick off time to appeal to a 'global' audience.  What a load of crap.

I'm not a great fan of the flag but I totally agree with Chico.
Even if they just cut out the word 'Arse' and wave that about.

What an almighty cock-up.

Maybe it was Randy's idea.

[pauliewalnuts]

Apparently the idea is to use the bottom part in the lower North. £3k on a flag and they plan to cut it up. And didn't bother checking if Wembley would allow it. Genius.

I know it is all done with good intentions and what not, but this is just like that "don't watch the first eight minutes of the game in protest" brainwave they had.

So many problems glaringly obvious, but not one of them managed to spot them.

Wasn't there a link on here on Friday to a press release from Arsenal fan groups saying they had been contacted ~(by the FA??) about the banner and saw no reason for it not to be allowed into the ground. I certainly got the impression it was a done deal.

[Phil from the upper holte]

Even though it's not to everyones tastes, a lot of effort has been put in, seems unfair to just shrug it off and cheer that it can't be used

[sirlordbaltimore]

the flag is a bit shit, granted. but it's shame they didn't get all this clarified before getting it into production

i just read the first choice of design was a 'have you ever won the European Cup?' one ... dear fucking God. possibly the most cringe worthy and embarassing song we've ever had

we've probably got off lightly with this eyesore
