As I was walking along Newport Road near City Road in Cardiff yesterday, I spied what I thought was a fellow Bluebird supporter.
How wrong was I?
The guy was wearing a Bluebirds baseball cap, all very well there, I hear you say.
However, he was wearing an Arsenal training top!!!!!!!!!!
I mean, WTF?
Is there a hospital for the mentally ill nearby?
If you were traumatised by that perhaps you should sign yourself in.:hehe:
It's just not right. City cap, Arse shirt.
Don't blame op for feeling sick.
Was he a member of the 1927 club?Quote:

There was an interview with a psychologist who was interested in kinds of group behaviour including religious groups, terrorist groups and sports fans. There were a lot of interesting parallels, I wonder if the OPs unease at seeing this unusual clothing combination comes from a similar place as a devout religious person seeing religious imagery used in a non traditional sense
Is Ramsey his favourite player? :sherlock:

I suppose as an atheist I need somewhere to target that kind of feeling.Quote:

Many people think that religion, and other group identities like sports fans are an evolutionary side effect of this
Was he that bike chappy who recently won a race in France
He could have been, but all that champagne has clearly aged him if it is.Quote:
