The blue one is like a much worse version of our nun kit

I really like the blue one, not so keen on the blue one however.


I don't really care that it is Wonga, I don't think they should exist, but well it's not like the PL have ever asked or cared where the money has come from before.

Also, people that call Wonga loan-sharks are incredibly misinformed on what the actual purpose of Wonga is.

Yeah they're short term lenders, the problem is when people use them and dont pay back within the time they agreed. Everyone points out the interest rates but they only apply when you miss repayments.

The interest rates are for over a year, something which I doubt Wonga would allow you to do.

You're supposed to lend it over a week, a quick check I just done proved that if you lent 100 you'd end up paying back 112 the next week.

Hardly scandalous.

They do allow you to do it, and then people complain that they're getting charged ridiculous interest.

But yeah, pay day loan companies like Wonga aren't too bad but people's stupidity is always going to mean they'll get stung by Wonga like companies when they're too stupid to pay their loan back on time.

The maximum length of time I was allowed to lend for was 30 days after my quick investigation.

People are stupid, it's not the company's fault.

Just read their FAQs.

Interest will accrue for 60 days after the return day after which they turn it over to a debt collection agency.

Not as shitty as some of them, which is what I'd always understood Wonga's business to be.

Their not as bad as the Provi who literally go around knocking on doors in the poorest areas and offer them high interest loans which they come and collect weekly repayment on the door in cash and won't leave until they get it.

I've wondered this before given the amount of alcohol, gambling, oil corporation fronts, rate-fixing banks, credit cards and electricity companies queuing up to plough money into the game.

And loan sharks only break your legs when you are late with your payments....

And your point?

You could easily say the exact same thing that you did about loan sharks. "It's short term. They are only bad when you fail to pay in time."

Fact is, both loan sharks and "pay day" loans are usury, something that shouldn't be permitted in a modern society.

Why do people bother arguing with King Luis? It's like Reagan fucked Thatcher and produced that insipid child.

Thats a stupid analogy though, if you go to a bank and fail to pay back a loan your going to end up having to pay back loads and eventually have debt collectors knocking on your door, Wonga's no different.

That's not even a design. It's just a white T-shirt with 2 logos.

Fuck paying 50 quid for that.

Same kit, different logo.

Nike seriously need some new creative staff if that's the best they can come up with.

It's ridiculous how often international teams change their kits nowadays as well.

Yeah, should be every four years for the World cup, having said that I haven't brought and England shirt since WC2006, mostly because I don't give a shit about the national side any more.

BBC have done a slideshow of England kits...

My favourites are easily the 2002 and 2006 WC ones.

Euro 2004 one was great, reversible.

2002 probably my favourite.

As for the new one, fucking diabolical.

It's not that bad.

It's just quite plain.
