UNICEF to the back please


Just read some news about the 'Qatar Foundation' getting its name on the new Barcelona FC kit. I thought they got rid of the UNICEF logo they were so proud of having until I realized it was only pushed to the back. Just on top of one's backside!



Seems like even the mighty Barca can't hold back the temptations of sponsorship money. They're in debt I hear. Well when you're winning like Barca you don't really care about trivial things like that.

Speaking of sponsorships, Arsenal aren't quite happy with their own. The Emirates Stadium outfit are displeased with the amount they've been receiving from their sponsors, Emirates Airlines, demanding just as much as other sponsors would. Considering that Emirates don't even provide club holiday packages or football weekend trip offers (which upsets me), is reason enough to stop having them as sponsors. Etihad airways is doing all they can to push the Manchester City firm. Agreed; there are more reasons for an Abu Dhabi based airline to support an Abu Dhabi sheikh owned club than for a Dubai based to support a executive owned club.
