How many crisp packets and carrier bags blew onto the pitch today? The amount of detritus on the pitch was ridiculous, I was not impressed at all. If the amount wasn't bad enough, the standard was embarrassing as well. ****ing Gregg's, 'that' carrier from ****ing Gregg's just refused to leave the arena. Attention seeking twat. We're going to be city of culture and should do better, Waitrose or M and S should be the minimum standard. That was on national TV FFS.
Mr. Allam labelled the rogue greggs bag as 'a hooligan' and accused it of 'infringing on the rights of companies that have paid good money to advertise'. As of the next home game no branded bags will be allowed in the stadium.
I nearly put it number 2 in my MOTM vote. I thought the orange one was a Tony's Textiles bag, i may be wrong.
That rogue Gregory's bag was a hooligan and no mistake. It took the piss and Beggers (Stoke keeper) was fuming with it. That orange one( possibly Sainsbury's ) down our right flank was a bit of a **** as well. Nearly tripped Elmo up. On purpose.
It was too far away but I though it was a Saino's. Surely someone from the West Stand can confirm one way or the other.
A salt and vinegar McCoys crisp bag made a brief appearance. Looked like it came from a multi pack, possibly from Heron or Iceland. At least it wasn't Smartprice or Tesco's basics range. Of all the gash that was blown on the pitch it was my personal favourite.
Surely a steward shoulda ran on and rugby tackled the bags. Pity there wasnt a FarmFoods bag they're right hard bastards. 5lb a chicken thighs and a 6 pinter of milk, no ****ing sweat.
That thought had crossed my mind. If a player slid in on a Co op bag for life it could sever an artery. Mind you that's unlikely as I think every single bastard ever produced is stuffed in my under sink cupboard. I'm sure it's a hobby of her indoors to collect them. Thinking about it, this isn't funny. Lives are at risk.
Sainsburys are the worst. Pack of crisps and they rip open. Waitrose are O.K. ASDA are a touch above average. Tesco are under par. But I agree, Farmfoods takes the biscuit.
There was a Couplands bag in acres of space on our right wing first half. As usual it was totally ignored by our midfield.

What gets me about the plastic bags is (1) Who in gods name brings a plastic bag to a football game (sad bastards) (2) The stewards just watch it drift by without every attempting to pick them up (3) What are the numpty ball boys doing? ....Who is the stadium manager. Doesn't he have the IQ to tell them to pick them up. Drives me MAD....
In this day and age we should use technology to assist eradicate this menace from the game. A remote controlled helicopter with specially modified skids( think that's the right terminology) could be utilised to attack the carrier bags and either scoop them up or preferably lance them on a spike, thus enabling the playing surface to remain clear. Either that or a Big Trak.
