Ben White’s shorts!

Post by Carport » Tue May 02, 2023 7:58 pm

Not on his own but can anyone explain why he walks on the pitch through the tunnel with one side of his shorts hitched right up but not the other? Superstitious?

I'm not the innocent mistake police, but you should probably know he's mixed race. That might help.

I don’t think he is.

His dads called Barry but I don’t think it’s the famous one.

Barry White’s changed a fair bit. Very Michael Jackson of him…

In fact a bit of a sea change for Barry.

He has an excuse it’s the same pair all season. The West Ham physio has to cut them off after the final game

I don’t really get the criticism of players wearing gloves. Why wouldn’t you wear them if they made you more comfortable?

Just not a good look for £80 million quid players on 8 year contracts who’ve managed to amass the grand total of 39 points on a May Day in london. Shamone

If you earn so much money why not spend a little bit of it on some gloves to keep your hands warm.

Or just run around a bit more. Might help

I don't think you can run around headless chicken style like it's the 80's without screwing up your team's tactics in modern football. Some positions cover loads of ground during a game, others are about timing your movement, and that can mean a fair bit of walking around.

FWIW I don't care enough to have an opinion on gloves/no gloves, just wanted to point out that running around to warm yourself isn't always possible.

I exercise wearing gloves in chilly weather because otherwise my Reynauds-y fingers would go white and hurt like beggary.

It's not always because they're soft, Southern wet-wipes.
