Is this a "Fulham Shirts We Like" post?

Because I saw a guy wearing this the other day and I really liked it:



The fact that he was cute helped too.

[tralala.livejournal.com]

this is some advanced level performance art

[noodlecookie.livejournal.com]

Beautiful. Highlight of their season. Did a fox run across the pitch again this season? Because if it did, shame on them for not making a t-shirt out of that.

You all must be joking, eh? This ia just crap and money-making bullshit. I thought the statue was the worst every Fulham fan could imagine but now Al-Fayed comes along with this! I hope NO SINGLE man or woman will buy this. When Hodgson went to Liverpool Al-Fayed must have gone weird for live!

[ghost-busting.livejournal.com]

Al-Fayed is crazy

[schmiss.livejournal.com]

Oh godddd poor Fulham. WHY GOD WHY??? THEY DON'T DESERVE THIS

... at least they might make some money off cray cray MJ stans.

[whatwouldwasdo.livejournal.com]

i bet volzy (http://www.volzy.com/) buys one for the lulz

[lady-teazle.livejournal.com]

.... wow. Thankfully I am not a Fulham fan. Though I do think that t-shirt is a camp classic from the get-go and will probably sell quite well. Can't get the website to load so I haven't seen the other (eye popping) merchandise.

[x-butterfly19-x.livejournal.com]

LOL

[iamtheenemy.livejournal.com]

Just to clarify: did MJ ever, at any time, have anything to do with Fulham? I mean, did he ever even visit? Or is this just one crazy ass dude namedropping in the most hilariously awkward way possible?

[lady-teazle.livejournal.com]

Googled the situation & found this Reuters article:
(Reuters) - "A controversial statue of singer Michael Jackson was unveiled by Mohamed Al Fayed at Fulham's Craven Cottage ground on Sunday with the club chairman saying that if fans did not like it, they could go and support another team.

Al Fayed, a close friend of the American singer who died in 2009, danced along to Jackson's music after unveiling the statue in bright sunshine before Fulham's home Premier League match with Blackpool.

"Why is it bizarre?" Al Fayed asked reporters afterwards. "Football fans will love it. If some stupid fans don't appreciate such a gift, and understand the things I believe in, they can go and support Chelsea or go somewhere else."

A number of fans have expressed their dismay at the statue, which overlooks the River Thames and depicts Jackson, who was a guest of Al Fayed at a match in 1999, wearing a silver jacket with gold braiding, black trousers, white socks and his trademark one glove.

The statue was originally going to be sited at Harrods department store in London before Al Fayed sold it."

So I'm not sure MJ ever had anything to do w/ Fulham - it's just that Al-Fayed was his friend and tasteless nut job that he is, decided to put this awful statue up @ The Cottage and is now selling this MJ merchandise as well. I think Dodi's death completely unhinged him!

Thank you! That's pretty much what I thought.

[hi-mimi.livejournal.com]

It's gross, sure, but it's a joke.
You all shouldn't take it so seriously. I'm a Fulham fan and there's no chance in hell I'd buy that shirt. Despite that, I'm not fussed about it being available to buy.
It's not embarrassing, it's 'character.'

TBH, if Al-Fayed is bankrolling us and allowed us to spend ten beautiful years in the EPL, he can make as many MJ shirts as he likes.
Still love you, Mo!
