Dig Dig Posted 21 November, 2012 Posted 21 November, 2012 Hearing from a mate at the club shop that NC is planning to launch a limited edition gold Saints shirt with CORTESE printed on the back to go on sale from next month. Also heard that he had to be talked out of allocating himself a squad number in the match day programme for Sunday. Apparently he's acting more crazy than usual in the build up to this game as he really wants to stick on on Pardew. Adkins under huge pressure to win. Don't shoot the messenger, just passing on what I've heard.
Dig Dig Posted 21 November, 2012 Author Posted 21 November, 2012 Also forgot to ask if anyone would buy the shirt?
pingwing Posted 21 November, 2012 Posted 21 November, 2012 If any of that's true then we are in for a fun ride! (apart from the Adkins pressure to win, a draw is enough) A little bit of eccentricity is a good laugh, just cross all of our fingers it doesn't manifest its self in him turning into Ken Bates mark 2 or Lowe again... Plus sticking it to Pards will be fun, why he was sacked will always remain a mystery but I like the idea he was already buying a house in Newcastle before the season started when Ashley was scouting around for someone new.
Sour Mash Posted 21 November, 2012 Posted 21 November, 2012 Yet another rubbish attempt at a wind-up.
Tokyo-Saint Posted 21 November, 2012 Posted 21 November, 2012 How much? I just made a tenner on the muppet show. Dig Dig, get me one and we'll call it quits.
Saint Charlie Posted 21 November, 2012 Posted 21 November, 2012 Another PR disaster after the Programme issue. A guy I know who works at the shop tweeted something funny the other day about having "seen it all now" but I didn't think much of it. Having him on the programme as a squad no would be bearable - just like some teams have the fans as no 12, but selling chairman shirts is just a 'no'.
Saint Garrett Posted 21 November, 2012 Posted 21 November, 2012 Wonder if we'll see a best selling shirt article on the OS a few months later...
Saint Charlie Posted 21 November, 2012 Posted 21 November, 2012 Don't think this is a wind up, its too obvious for that.

Results. Where is the mystery in that??!!!!

shirleysfc Posted 21 November, 2012 Posted 21 November, 2012 I've got a mate who's on Chelsea's board and he's confirmed it's true. The squad number was 7!!

The Kraken Posted 21 November, 2012 Posted 21 November, 2012 And to think I nominated you for an honourable achievement award. Can I rescind it?
Saint Charlie Posted 21 November, 2012 Posted 21 November, 2012 And to think I nominated you for an honourable achievement award. Can I rescind it? I would, this one of the poorest WUM threads I have ever seen on here.
Dig Dig Posted 21 November, 2012 Author Posted 21 November, 2012 And to think I nominated you for an honourable achievement award. Can I rescind it? No you can't. You'll have to wait for 2013 nominations. You'll be able to wear your special gold Cortese shirt by then though!
Thedelldays Posted 21 November, 2012 Posted 21 November, 2012 this thread is easily one of the worst I have ever seen......FACT
The Kraken Posted 21 November, 2012 Posted 21 November, 2012 Diggsy, I know you were keen to cement yourself a place in the SaintsWeb annual awards; I think you've now got every chance in the "sh*ttest thread of the year" section with this epic creation. This is nearly miltonroaderesque in its inner genius.
Dig Dig Posted 21 November, 2012 Author Posted 21 November, 2012 I might buy one but only because my 5-a-side team wears gold. It's a tough colour to get
Badger Posted 21 November, 2012 Posted 21 November, 2012 Also forgot to ask if anyone would buy the shirt? Go well with the "Go Wilde" collection.
Window Cleaner Posted 21 November, 2012 Posted 21 November, 2012 this thread is easily one of the worst I have ever seen......FACT and with 31405 posts to your credit (well perhaps not all of them brought much in the way of credit) you'd surely know.;)
Dig Dig Posted 21 November, 2012 Author Posted 21 November, 2012 You can laugh, but I've seen the prototype. Hoping that those who mocked and got this moved to TMS will show some humility now. We must have a similar source Ant!
dubai_phil Posted 21 November, 2012 Posted 21 November, 2012 O wow cool Can I get one by mail order? Delivery Address N Allen Portsmouth
Saint-Fred Posted 22 November, 2012 Posted 22 November, 2012 Bit ****ed off really as I put number 99 when I had cortese on my home shirt....How can he change numbers mid season? Surely he will have to refund me or at least give me a new shirt with the right number on?
