That advert for picture loans on tv.How annoying is that bloke with the football in his hands.?

Really annoying series of adverts. There was a sequel advert where he meets up with his mate who is also a feckless, thriftless, football obsessed twat, and he puts him on to 'Picture' to sort his finances out. The mate's kids are always trying to kill him by leaving skateboards and wheeled toys around on the stairs so he falls and breaks his neck, and they can claim on his life-insurance so they don't get sold off into white slavery.\n\nThe latest advert features 'Tess' who is a geordie housewife constantly interrupted on the phone by her noxious family while trying to arrange a £25 grand loan.\n\nThe football bloke (Chris) isn't featured anymore because he defaulted on his loan, now lives in a tent, and his children have been sold-off into child prostitutuion in India. His wife is a drug-addled prostitute who sleeps under a railway arch, and does hand-jobs for the price of a fix, or a rock of crack.\n\nThankfully Tess, and Chris's mate will all be going the same way soon owing to their defaults on the loans, and 'Mike from Picture' booting them out into the streets one day before Christmas so he can sell their house from under them. Tess will wander round in a daze still shouting 'Josh, daaad's foond yaa scoooootah' loudly before being arrested for shoplifting, and banged-up in prison to share a cell with a violent psychopathic dyke called Russbert.

Money has only really been talked about in football since the start of the Premiership due to the huge amount generated by the new league. \n\nMan Utd had to deal with the tag of "buying" all the trophies they won for all of the 90's. We had the advantage of having more money because of our success on the field, as well as excellent business strategies. Marketing the club in places like Asia, as well as increasing stadium capacity when ever we could, and millions of other profit making idea's has meant that we are the best supported club in the world.\n\nChelsea however have done none of the above so they will "suffer" the problem of being called title buyers more, but lets face it, with some justification. In a few years when they have won the CL and a few more championships, and when Roman has stopped overpaying for players, then maybe it will stop but will you care by then? I doubt it. I didn't care in 1999!!!\n\nSo no, people will never shut the **** up about Chelski buying the title.....that is until somebody richer comes in and buys Accrington Stanley.........who are they?........Exactly!!!

So what is wrong if he appears in a few commercials? Is your father going to provide him a pension once his career is over? When was the last time YOU refused money that was offered for a legitimate reason. Grow up kid.

I can tell you that none of the signatures are Ashley C**t's, as he was too busy minding himself for the World Cup last season, while counting all the dosh Arsenal were giving him.  Although he's such a backstabber I wouldn't be suprised if he had signed the shirt!!  Not bitter, honest!!!!!!

It hasn't even started & I am sick of it already. \nWomen of the world unite. Throw the remote away. Take the plug off the telly. Take the batteries out of the radio.\nHise the car keys.\nJust for 1 whole day without football ... bliss

Practical business strategy. It's the same in a lot of place. \n\nI don't like it but only if FIFA sell the broadcast right only to public TV (Broadcast company where no subscribtion needed) we still have to live with it... since Public TV can't outbid Pay TV/Cable TV

I feel your pain! I'm going to be driving a fair bit over the next couple of weeks and it always seems to coincide with the best games, so I've had to formulate a contingency plan!\n\nI'll be listening on BBC Radio 5 Live on 909 and 693 medium wave, which you'll be able to pick up no problem. They do football properly and the commentary is always good, so that's my recommendation.\n\nCome on England!

He parades his left wing credentials all the time. However, the BBC would probably get rid of him if he didn't. It's a bit rich considering that he sold a publishing business recently for a few million pounds.

Here it is. I might watch a bit of it before the real football comes on ;-)\n\nhttp://www.ejwhittenlegendsgame.com.au/2006_Details.asp

i know, they show it every advert break in the english games. the slogan is "we'll do the beer, you do the football". it is so funny, glad you all have a good sense of humour about it. xxxxx

you know what annoys me most. I bet(predict)the outcome of a match, and some multi-millionaire knows the result before I put my £1 on, give the wee man a chance.

He seriously needs to drop some pounds.. it's just sad to see a once upon a time marvel go out with a whimper... He needs to get his act together... but who knows... after all, we all have to realise that footballers are human too... the man probably has some worries on his plate (no pun intended).. but i'm not making any excuses for him. He really needs to sharpen up!

I would pay to watch that! More exciting than some of the premiership matches these days;) Southgate may be a dark horse, he looks like a Ball kicker (probably a biter too!)

Nope, my husband has no interest either, cant stand it like yourself. The only footballers he can actually recognise are Pele, David Seaman, David Beckham and Wayne Rooney (for obvious reasons - even the most determined head in the sand football hater can't have escaped the media coverage of the last pair!) If England are playing he'll go shopping or to the tip (no queues). I happened to mention Crouch had scored the first goal tonight and he hadn't a clue. Even when I said it was the very tall lanky one that does the robot dance he looked blank.\n\nHe admitted he feels a bit left out of things in the office when all the lads are discussing the footy or texting one another madly but it doesnt make him want to suddenly acquire a keen interest in the game - quite the opposite in fact. So you are by no means the only one that feels this way, so no need to feel strange :-)

can you just for one minute not look at men as objects of desire. They are professional footballers. It must be very hard for them to know you are just oogleing at them when you're meant to be watching football. Leave the poor sods alone we don't need this in football, you'ill give them all complexes. THEY DESERVE RESPECT\n\n\nhow do put emphasis on scarcasm "skunk" there's a bit of irony there for you, you didn't spot it.
