Assem Allam's early festive messsage to Hull City fans

 

Deary me

 

 

[Bleep1673]

An appalling slur on the people of this fine city? If the cap fits...... Leeds V Hull, CCSF?

 

What did they want him to say Hulligans?

 

Mind you, he only chairs the club, it's not his to muck about with the name without consulting those who pay through the turnstiles, especially these days.

 

One thing slightly worries me though, if he does rebrand City as Tigers, City fans will have to buy an entire months wages (or whatever) to replace everything they've bought with the "City" logo, with newer "Tigers" stuff.

 

PS, will Castleford try to take them to court for copyright breach, like Denver Broncos did when Brisbane Broncos announced their name, or should we inform the Detroit Tigers management?

That statement was in the link I posted and the one my comment was aimed at.

The scousers were only here for the culture.

And Pattie butties

[shrek]

Coyle out!

[Old Frightful]

And Pattie butties

So actually, you're saying pattie butties aren't culture? Tut, tut.

 

As for Allam's quote of "I don't mind them singing City 'til I die, they can die as soon as they want", well, he's just gone and declared to anybody interested what a f***ing nutjob he is.

 

I will follow his relationship with the fans of Hull Tigers with interest. (Only a little, tbh...)

Were have I said that, you couldn't get more cultural than potato and herbs deep fried in a bread cake mmmmmm......

[Ullman]

And Pattie butties

I'm sure, as fellow citizens of culture, they have an appreciation of the finer things.

[Old Frightful]

Ha ha, just read another bit of Allam's quote..."I'm a simple man."

 

I think most observers would go a bit further than that in less than complimentary descriptive terms.

I don't know. You should have seen him tucking into his Hull tapas in Whalebone yesterday.

Pie and peas ?

Well, seeing as there's a lull in interesting proceedings, I'll continue the squabble.

 

Ullman stated the "scousers were only here for the culture."

 

You added "And pattie butties"

 

Therefore you seemed to be suggesting pattie butties needed including as they couldn't be included in "the culture".

 

I rest my case.

 

Up yours.

Pickled egg topped with hand crushed cheese and onion crisps.

I hope it was Seabrooks crisps

[Ullman]

I hope it was Seabrooks crisps

I do believe they were. I can't confirm whether the eggs were free range though.

[Ullman]

Ha ha, just read another bit of Allam's quote..."I'm a simple man."

I think your earlier description wasn't far off (OK it was spot on).

 

The man comes across as a complete fruitcake and a spiteful one at that.

French weathergirl overjoyed by French World Cup qualification. Pretty much SFW.

So Wigan have appointed a caretaker manager who the chairman has already sacked once from the full time position, that can't happen to often!
