Revealed: The football scarves you must own…
…if you wish to confuse everyone
Do you have a penchant for 100 per cent cashmere scarves? Do you have a spare $150? If you answered yes to these questions, and you have a strong desire to antagonise white van drivers and Daily Mail readers, then Wong Wong are here to help.
New York based designer Stephen Wong’s luxury scarf range combine the traditional colours of several European clubs with “traditional football terminology”.
For example, Wong says his ‘Penetration’ scarf is derived from Arsenal’s attacking style. “People say it as a natural [European] football term, but when you take it to a different context, it’s funny,” he reasons.
Apparently, Celtic are known for their “kick long-and-chase” (!) approach, earning them the ‘Hump and Run’ slogan.
Apparently, this means “to pass and run into space for the return pass without pausing.” That’ll be a “one-two”, then.

We’re pretty sure this is a basketball term, but Juventus fans don’t speak English anyway, right?
Crystal Palace supporters looking to encourage confusion and violence in the less enlightened Selhurst Park regulars could sport this natty number.
It seems they’ve given up trying to think of sexually charged innuendo (In-your-end-o!) by this point.

Weak. They might as well just make one that says ‘sex’ and children could look at it and laugh.

I saw these like a month ago and wanted to tell people about them, but my confusion has stopped me. I’m pretty sure the guy is just trying to see how many sexual things he can sell for $100 and how many people will actually have these things in public. He’ll be laughing his ass off when he sees one on television.

Yes, let’s have one saying cock because that’s what the high paid footballers are – utter cocks
