The Formality of Football

[The Mini]

Why do clubs still try to bother with the Formality of Football, with all the suits before and after games?

Dont get me wrong, I believe it's good to show a sence of the past traditions, but why be so strict? They could just as easily let them wear slightly more casual clothes (as opposed to suits and uniforms). They could wear their Gucci and we'd all have some humour. No seriously, I think it's just annoying that they're trying to change the important stuff ( ) with cameras helping Refs, but not thinking about the, lets face it, rather unnecessary formality.

If they look the trustworthy rolemodels they are supposed to be, it sets a better example? :?:

Dont they set an example with their skills (or lack in Cygans case)

I love it. They look slick!

 

[The Mini]

But, it means they can express themselves

I don't see why it should matter really. They just look the part is all. They are representing their club.

luigi collina?..or Ancelotti face while he see superb goal from DiVaio last saturday?

 

[The Mini]

Collina, ah the super Referee. What makes him better than the rest... except for the fact he is soooo much cooler

I think it's superb. I love the idea of all our players turning up at the hotel for away games in club blazers. It's about togetherness and been instantly identifiable as part of a 'gang'. And, as always with Arsenal, its about class...
