One thing that particularly caught my attention yesterday, now that our glorious British temperatures are on their winter decline, is that many of our players have started garbing themselves in their usual winter accessories.
The individual (among others) that particularly caught my attention was big bad Vlad. As relatively impressed as I was by his forays down the touchline I couldn't help notice his flapping great arms due to the long-sleeved shirt and black gloves he insisted on wearing.
In his defence he is from Romania, not exactly deepest Siberia but fuck me, is he a rugged, tough, east European center back bruiser or not??? Paulinho, ok, it's not exactly Brazilian beach football right now but......
Whilst playing the beautiful game I have never had a problem with just shorts and a t-shirt no matter the weather. Maybe that is due to my resplendent natural body fleece but I am still, shall we say, follically challenged (or in the words of the great Muhammad Ali - "He so ugly, even his HAIR run away from his face") and I am able to resist the urge to wear a hat.
In short, what the fuck?? Is it me or do said accoutrements indicate a lack of desire and/or effort?
