Irrational ranting


Cup-tied

What is it about football and ties? I know a lot of deals are done through the connections with the old club tie similar to the old school tie. You are talking multi million pound deals done between big businesses but involve football and the deal turns sour. Hardly anyone associated with football can do his tie up properly its either the spotty parker - cravat with small tail style. The Varney time travel tie (its half a second ahead all the time) seen above, the sir jack Hayward classic peanut (he's worth 140 million for Christ sake get a valet). The luca vialli hint of tie and the all time favorite john Barnes school of tie camouflage and misdirection (same colour as shirt outrageous tartan jacket).
A Few in the game can hold their heads high and reveal a nice double Windsor. Bir Robby Sobson is a classic example I have noticed through my desperate attempts to find more photos of dodgy ties (failed as you can see) that sir bob through out footballs golden age never strayed far from the double. You would never catch Sir Bobby Charlton with a full length tie only reaching his third button sir alf Ramsey would spin in his grave. Rumors around sky sports centre suggest even jimmy hill has a nice neat knot, but no ones actually seen it in person its always a friend of a friend who has supposedly seen under the chin. Terry Venables has gone a bit loose on occasion but has regularly saved himself with the undone bowtie look you need some tomfoolery to carry it off but the TV money is coming in so he is coping. But due to lack of TV funding and exposure one knot will be denied us this season that's the old time favorite the Ron Atkinson noose. Not often seen outside of Alabama in fact not often seen outside the cloak that often . Sorry bit of a weird one but Varney look in a mirror or at least sack the photographer and webteam for letting the picture slip through.
