I have no interest in football but I was pondering upon the sticker

words "Come on England" across the middle.

What a shame Onan's not playing these days.

From The Lamentations Of Svenemiah:
Aleph.
For Onan was an mighty warrior, and in the Box was none that could withstand
him. For Onan selleth a dummy like no other, neither was there any to read
his turn. And the shot of Onan was like unto an mighty hammer, such that
men thought "Verily, it is all over". And, lo, it was now.

Beth.
And the multitude saw the mighty deeds of Onan, and they saw that he was an
righteous man who dived not, nor was he off-side. And they did love Onan.
And they shouted unto him "wanker" with an great voice, that he might know
their love.

Ghimel.
And yet there was in the Box an evil man. And he did plot against Onan, and
he did smite him mightily. Yea, on the fourth metatarsal smote he him. And
the fourth metatarsal was rent asunder, and Onan did writhe upon the ground
among his seed.

Daleth.
And Sven grieved mightily. And he did cover his face with ulrika and nancy,
and thus he lamented: How are the mighty fallen! O, Onan, my son, thou art
smitten and my Cup runneth through my fingers, for the daughters of the
Argentines shall rejoice, and the people of Bra-sil shall dance upon the
streets.

Heth.
Thus perished Onan. And the tribes of Becks and Cole and Lam-pard were sore
afraid.

I say old man! That's a bit OT don't you think?
