@MyNintendoNews Spent loads of time here when I was younger. Brought a fair few consoles direct from them. Remember buying an Xbox with three games included, I wanted a football game and Max Payne, trying to decide what else to get, a legend of a game employee recommended a new game called Halo!

@anon_opin This just isn’t true. Both genders are guilty of both. I can cook and eat well when no one’s around, but I can equally get a pizza or a pack of sausages and a bottle of hot sauce for something quick and easy. Don’t eat cereal, toast is boring and don’t eat pot noodle.

@TheEggman64 I’m sure you’re a paid for actor, but this is very much a case of, if it doesn’t bother you why comment? I know it’s hard to not have opinions these days, but if you don’t buy digital and use the second hand market which is still huge, it becomes a massive issue.

It’s an England shirt, I could design it. It could definitely be done a hell of a lot cheaper by a supermarket brand so it’s affordable. Like the trainers from the basketball player, got scalded for pricing people out, so went back and let a cheap brand do it instead.

This always annoys me when people say “shirts cost £10 to manufacture”

You’re absolutely correct’

However, do people genuinely believe that designs are handed over to a warehouse on the back of a napkin for production?

Do people not consider the behind the scene costs from the wing to wing process?

The money you pay goes towards the designers of those shirts who have spent the best part of 6 months working on that design, the payroll who pays their wages, the HR staff ensuring compliance, the warehouse operative, the van driver fulfilling shipments down to the domestic staff within factories .. they then hit the shelves of retail stores where a multitude of staff are involved on that shirt going from rail to customer. There’s then shareholders and an actual profit which has to be made for a business.

Fake factories hijack that design and mass produce yet come across as “the good guys”.

Do I believe football shirts should be cheaper? ABSOLUTELY .. but let’s not pretend that a shirt costs £10 to produce yet should be retailed for £15 ..

@anon_opin Same people who queue for a bus 10 minutes before it gets there.

@DanielJHannan I want to hate it, and I do kind of do hate it, but in a world of god awful football songs about England at the World Cup/euros, it’s one of better made songs, and they’re having fun with it so I can’t criticise them too much.

@presresistant Peter crouch came to mind

[Paul @PaulS87W]

@APater6076 @NickSurb @anon_opin What’s the alternative?

[Paul @PaulS87W]

@Boba_Ball_ You and me both, but thankfully you can do it for a lot less than 20k. Still bloody expensive!

@fwmarqix I love extremely middle class people, it’s a great standard to have. No idea if the story is real, why make it up, but people like this definitely do exist.

@currys 3-2 England #CurrysFootball

@Dotted_crypt @sofiatieger Had one for my dog recently. She was on 3 different pills all needed cutting, some in half some into thirds. Made life a lot easier.

@MattJJones98 @wxm_afc @Wrexham_AFC I’d say I’m speaking to the right guy. The championship is a huge league, you want to compete you need every penny, you sell those rights over for easy money, which means the offices aren’t in Wrexham. I’d argue the average Welsh person has no idea of white dragon either way.

@heavyspoilers I don’t dislike him, but he looks like a dried prune with long hair in this. That puts me off enough.

[Paul @PaulS87W]

@MattJJones98 @wxm_afc @Wrexham_AFC Technically nothing, but its merchandise, which is made to turn a profit, bigger the club, the bigger the profit needed. Do you think the biggest clubs in the world have someone local linked to the club designing every bit of merchandise? It'll be fixed but its how football works

[Paul @PaulS87W]

@anon_opin People still listen to him?

[Paul @PaulS87W]

@wxm_afc @MattJJones98 @Wrexham_AFC To be fair that is what happens the high up a club gets these days. As a Spurs fan we’ve always dislike red on our kit, but because Asian companies pay well and love the colour red, we’ve had a red sponsor for 20 odd years. It’s the cost of success. Got to balance the books.

[Paul @PaulS87W]

@EthanMr0 @Wrexham_AFC You can merge with Chester if you want?

[Paul @PaulS87W]

@_TYi92 Last thing we need is another rivalry, we have 7 in the league already. Every time I log into this godforsaken app I see Villa fans crying and the odd Newcastle fan, Spurs fans see this and respond. Newcastle have always disliked us, most Spurs fans have no issue with Villa.
