Laugh or cry...

[Hague Blade]

We've got a backpacker staying with us as the moment as she does her tour of South East Asia - she's the daughter of a friend of mine who works for Adidas. She hands over a thank you present last night, and her dad has only gone and got me a signed United shirt.

It's a thoughtful gift, but I'm struggling with the fact that I hate the design and this might just be the worst, least likeable United team ever. My wife, oblivious as ever to all things sporting, thinks it's great and is all for getting it framed - "you can put it up on the wall, next to that nice picture of that Keith Edwards bloke."

I won't ask if anyone has any suggestions for other possible uses of said shirt...

 

[boo radley]

I'm not telling then.

It's the thought that counts

Ungrateful sod. It could've been a signed Tony Moore shirt.

Frame it and put it in up in clear view of the bog. Nowt better than an angry shit!

 

[shorehamview]

Raffle it off for charity.

Wrap it up, send it back to Shirecliffe with the following note " at least one shirt found a use this season"

Like Tony Moore could spell his name.
Actually he became a council painter ,a mate of mine said he wasn't even the best player in the gang.

I still quite like the shirt :-(

Sensible hat on time. A visitor gets you a signed shirt for your favourite team and you wonder what to do? I assume you acted thrilled and are wondering what to do once the visitor has done, in the mean time it needs to have pride of place in the home.

Anyway, let's stop this sideshow. The real question people want answering;




























Did you give her one?

UTB

Tony Moore ex Blades right back? If so, he's actually working for the pigs community scheme as a coach.

Hague Blade get it auctioned for charity although knowing where you are in the world, its probably not going to fetch much unless its a Man U, Arsenal, Citeh or Liverpool shirt.

And the second question is what alcoblade asked....

Hope hes teaching them to paint and not play football ,actually its the pigs ,hope its football

SK10Blade Yes, I acted thrilled, I'm not a monster. I will get it framed and up on the wall next to King Keith.

SwissBlade You're right - I've only found a couple of other Blades so far in this neck of the woods. If it's not Premier League, the Singaporeans aren't interested - though Jermaine Pennant (and his missus) are getting a fair bit of air time at the moment, while he tosses it off playing for Tampines Rovers in the S-League.

alcoblade 30 year age gap likely a bit of an issue. I did enjoy the evening looking at her beach photos from Bali and Australia, mind...
