mph crapness

I nicked this from Football365.com...

I guess it illustrates Bob's points about mph being supported by hypocritical fools.

Suits You, Sir

'For those of you who haven't seen it, this week's edition of Private Eye contains an illuminating piece on the wheeling and dealings behind an exclusive interview.

Apparently, Ashley Cole would only agree to hold this week's exclusive with the Observer on the understanding that the paper 'kit him out in a Prada suit'.

'No problems there until he said that he wanted to keep the suit and asked the newspaper to take care of matters. Prada wasn't prepared to play ball so editors were left frantically asking favours from other designers to keep the Arsenal footballer happy. He eventually walked off with a £1,000 suit from Paul Smith.'

Perhaps not realising the significance of the figure, Private Eye notes that 'Ashley Cole earns £50,000 a week.'

Still, there's no quibbling with their final point – in his Observer feature, Cole not only wore the aforementioned Paul Smith suit but a wristband proclaiming 'Make Poverty History.'

Lead on, Ashley.
