If English Premier League were a Classroom !!



If English Premier League were a Classroom !!

  1. Manchester United: An intelligent kid who also happens to be politician's son. Examiners/Teachers, scared of his papa, never fail him. If he fails, the examiner loses his job, and him and papa go telling the world it was all examiners' fault.
  2. Chelsea: Poor kid adopted by a rich father who at times gifts him some expensive, but outdated toys which he doesn't want. He manages to pass the exams with good marks, but papa still thinks he could have performed more better. Result: Change the tutor every goddamn year!
  3. Liverpool: Dull Kid, an average guy who was brilliant when he was in nursery and Class 1. Brags it to everybody and says, "I have got history!". Fails in most of the exams, yet parents say, he's improving year by year. 
  4. Arsenal: Hardworking kid, always said to have a great future, but nobody knows when the future will come. Solves questions brilliantly in class but succumbs to the pressure of annual exams. Miserly parents...no money to register him in a 'gain-your-confidence' course.
  5. Manchester City: Richest Daddy of all !! Has all the shiniest pens, pencils and guide books. Was neglecting studies before but realized his worth and started studying seriously lately. Results are positive !!
  6. Tottenham Hotspur: Better than average kid at studies. Rather than patting itself in its back on performing well, it always prefers to rot in jealousy of other well performing students (all those listed above). Jealousy may likely kill it someday. Be happy of yourself kid, work on yourself, don't look at others.
  7. Everton: Nice lad! Comes from a family of limited means but performs better than many. Needs to be polished a little bit more.

Note: School's Principal is Manchester United's daddy's younger brother. Don't agree? Read on David Gill's association with FA !!

Blue is the Colour, what else matters?


The recent "Its blue, what else matters?" ad by adidas for launch of Chelsea 2013-14 kit is truly an awesome innovation in the field of kits-advertising. It emphasizes the importance of the colour 'blue' that we Chelsea fans associate with and also the colour 'blue' that has become synonymous to Chelsea in the footballing world even when there are hundreds of other teams around the world wearing blue jerseys... Blue belongs to Chelsea and Blue will always be the colour when football will be the game!

The 'Its blue, what else matters' ad


The ad also challenges the very important latin phrase of "caveat emptor", which means "let the buyer beware", as adidas is challenging loyalists to pre-order the kit without even seeing the design... Adidas' brand name and quality of its products being kept aside, such a campaign has a high chance of being misunderstood as, 'prove your loyalty. whatever we feed you, eat.' However, it also re-inforces the fact that football is all about blind loyalty mixed with a lot of passion... We take whatever our club gives us, coz the club is us !!

We have our full faith on adidas. Bring on the kit !! Its blue after all !! 

Game on 2013-14 !!
