Colchester: no way out of dress for 'mouthy' fan
AN Arsenal fan will be wanting to give his team a dressing down after dressing up himself as a forfeit.
Martin Harding told colleagues at Essex Roofing Company, on Hawkins Road, Colchester, that he would come to work in womenswear for a week if the club didn't win any silverware this season.
Workmate Dean Wicks said: "Martin's extremely mouthy about Arsenal, and few months back when they were top of the Premiership and doing well in the Champions League he made the bet.
"But it all went wrong almost as soon as he said anything, and so yesterday he was in in his dress.
"He's been getting quite a bit of abuse, but these things have got to be honoured!"
Another employee, Dave Thurgood, had made a similar bet and admitted defeat last month and came to work in a dress for a day.

I reckon "martine" was hoping Arsenal would end up with nothing so he could
wear the clothes in public.

Thing is its typical Arsenal, always mouthing off early doors and then watching it all crumble when it matters, by the way the man boobs he is sporting fill the dress out a treat

That's nothing.
I know loads of Col Who fans who said that if they got relegated, the club would sell the ground, move to some vacuous faceless stadium miles from anywhere which nobody could get to, which would only get half full if they were lucky, and play against Peterborough and MK Dons for a season until they were relegated once more.
Oh.

Presumably, as an Arsenal fan coming to terms with winning nothing, again! He will ask for more money and on refusal will join another roofing firm in Italy!

He can always pop to Pink **** on Red Lion Yard & get himself a nice little black number & nip to the Pink Panther to watch the mighty reds win the European cup on May 21st.
how appropriate for an Arsenal fan!
