What change jobs, or reach 3000 posts?
Possibly all thats keeping me in a job here is the fact i cant access job websites from work!!

Jeez this mobile site thingy is super. Now I can post crap on the way home too! Congrats Des btw
Posted from the train on my way home.

Xavi - I have to ask - is the misspelling of France in your tagline intentional? If not - what is Grance?

_blank_

That Serbian dude, delija, he posted a match thread for Romania-France the other day, and he misspelled France in the title.

It kind of took on a lofe of it's own.

Grance FTW!

Xavi6

Home safe and sound.

Indeed, Grance FTW! (It's intentionally on my part, it wasn't on the other lad's)

Sherifu

Grance has already won in my eyes :pac:

Cant believe you're supporting Grance Xavi, not Spain? :pac:


Come on the Gwedes!

Money comes before the heart I'm afraid, though I did have my Spanish Xavi jersey and shorts on last night :cool:

Has your jersey the right number for Xavi on it? He was wearing 8 yesterday, and your icon has him no.6................would hate for you to look stoopid now!

6 For Barca, 8 for Spain

Xavi6

No screw ups for me. This is the exact one I got -

Ya i know man, just was making sure there was no amateur mistakes made. Kind of annoying, i wanna get a Macherano international jersey and as Tusky pointed out to me, his number changes quite a bit!

Sherifu

Looks sweet Xavi6.

Xavi6

All the poor saps who got 'Ronaldo 17' on the new Portugal jersey only for him to change to 7 just before the tournament. All the big sites and eBay had heaps of the 17 ones.

estebancambias

I'd hate to have a triple chin and be wearing the Portugal jersey. The neck design wouldn't suit it.

Does anyone (Xavi?) have a link to the site with the jerseys with name and number that was pretty cheap. I remember seeing them here a couple of weeks ago but I have sh1tloads of work to do so not enough time to trawl through looking for it.

I was looking for a Spain jersey cause I'm going to their 1/4 final (all results going to plan of course). Another question I have is if it would be a problem at a 1/4 final match being in a section with opposing fans wearing a Spain jersey? I don't know where my ticket is for. Just saw the group stages has the fans pretty well divided. Does this go out the window for 1/4's?

Cheers.

I can find one for you now if you want. Ebay is definitely the best to get one on the cheap. What country would it be getting posted to and do you want a name/number on it?

Sherifu

Tomorrow's the day for Lisbon.

Yea i am looking for a name and number and it'd be posted to Ireland. I did look on ebay before but i was a bit wary of being sold a fake..

Nah you'll be grand. I've bought about 6 jerseys in the last year and all are good. Just look for tags in the photo that they provide.

Now, any player in particular?

Presently working on mine, think im up to the 5/6 week stage.....kind of grew it to piss people off at work, cos im now being made to dress formally / gheyly, but everyone is telling me it suits me. Obviously reverse psychology or something.

Funking dress codes....load of me arse.

No bother. Just make sure you specify what size you want when you place an order. I alwats go for medium cause they're a big enough fit.

Yea i usually take a chance on a medium. I did however get stung with a tightass medium Lyon jersey that my brother sent me from France. It was a class Benzema 17 jersey from his debut season and the filthy mo-fo is too tight to wear without looking like a fag.
Must be that Umbro make em smaller. Don't usually buy Umbro jerseys. Mostly cause they're shit.

The only Umbro jersey I have is the Ireland jersey...I hope they get a new sponsor in 2012.
