I have to admit that I am pinching these ideas from my national newspaper and from TalkSport, both of whom are championing the "banner banter", presently on show at various football grounds over the country...mainly those involved with the Super League debacle.
Signs and banners have been part of the fans' banter, especially in the Liverpool 1978 European campaign; "Joey Jones ate the Frogs' legs, made the Swiss roll, now's he's munching Gladbach.
Manchester United's banner at their Stretford End, announcing that David Moyes, newly appointed to the manager's role, was "The Chosen One". How little did they know?!
Last weekend, the demonstrations against the Super League didn't show any "technological" advances, looking as though the providers had just grabbed a piece of cardboard or any old bedsheet and scrawled their banter in felt pen or long standing emulsion. Some were:
"Pin the fail on the Kronke"-favoured by children's parties.
"Built by Mancs, destroyed by Yanks"-outside Old Trafford and against the Super League whereas the Liverpudlians had their own previously:
"Built by Shanks and destroyed by Yanks"....... Gillett and Hicks.
Arsenal's "Legacy Fans 1 v Billionaires 0" realising the interference of ££££ outside The Emirates.
Champions League? Earn it. taken from a banner to the Leeds Utd warm up shirts. AND below.....
