There's some programme on tv next week about anger, Gryff Rhys Jones is presenting it - just thought I'd mention it :D

It all went downhill when they brought in advertising on the shirts, if you ask me. And I'm being perfectly serious.

It was 30 years ago this weekend that I first went to Upton Park. (v Bristol Rovers; 2-0). Sigh.

West Ham were without one a few year's ago, and the current sponsor will come off the shirt too (XL holidays :oops: ).

Jiffy condoms are always trying to sponsor teams and offer more money than most people, they did to West ham, but no-one wants to have that on their kit and the adverse effects on sales so they're still looking. Mind you Palace ran around with Virgin all over them quite happily :D .

barcelona have never had advertising on their shirts, they pay unicef. mind you i guess they reclaim that from nike or whoever makes the shirts

also, as a colleague of mine pointed out, XL was a very appropriate logo for half the fans who prop up East London bars...

How true concerning the XL remark, perhaps the next sponsor can be Argos as suppliers of all the half sovereign rings - really you've never seen so much tat in all you life.

Managing your anger
James Tighe

Everyone feels their anger is justified when they're actually angry. Equally, we've all looked back and realised we may have overreacted. But for some people, anger can become a problem that needs to be addressed.

John if you ever want to go for a beer sometime to talk things over, I'm a good listener
