OK apparently it's a reference to a Bob Marley song released in 1996 called "What Goes Around Comes Around" and has lyrics in it mentioning Karma.

Still can't believe that wasn't picked up by someone, though... :lol:

Yep and the bloke who runs fernandos peri peri chicken had no idea it could any way be confused with Nando's

Or maybe the world really was demanding a t-shirt referencing an obscure Bob Marley release and the year it was remastered

TBF I don't for a second think Top Man meant to have a dig at Hillsborough but it's not hard to interpret it that way and it needs to go really

Much like the Cheeky Monkey t-shirt advert, it's just bizarre that it got through the process.

I'm not sure what I think here either. I can't imagine Top Man were trying to be controversial but I also can't see how this t-shirt was designed, in red, with the 96 linking with the lyrics unless it was intended.

I've not seen anything official to say the Marley reference is right, and usually anything to do with Marley would carry his iconic face on it too and yet there's nothing to actually suggest it's anything to do with Marley on the rest of the shirt.

Very bizarre.

No I completely agree

You'd think someone in the t-shirt vetting process would be a football fan and have some idea of Hillsborough

It's current affairs as much as football though, so it's not like it was a small story that only the football community would pick up on.

It makes me wonder if a designer put it through as a prank and it's just somehow got through.

From Topman: "Topman apologises unreservedly for any offence caused by this t-shirt. The design was inspired by a Bob Marley track with the number referring to the year of re-release. The garment has been removed from sale online and in stores."

This has got arsehole designer with a Liverpool grudge selling it as a Marley design to unsuspecting chumps who know nothing about football all over it for my more cynical side.

It's just too many coincidences - why red (it was only red wasn't it)? Why the remastered version of the album rather than the original? Why no clear reference to Marley on the shirt other than the album name? Why the rose?

Mo Salah with a thoroughly deserved PFA player of the year award. TBF to moany old Pep it was probably fairly close between him and De Bruyne but you've got to love a goal machine

It must've been close between them.

Will be interesting to see if MS can continue his form into next year, whereas I expect KdB to be one of the best players in the league again.

Doubtful as he'll be expected to play in the shadow of Ronaldo at the Bernabau. Should start comfortably ahead of Bale though, who could well be available this summer.

True. It was a weak moment brought on by a lack of sleep.

He does come across as a David Batty/Paul Scholes type player, level headed, quietly and efficiently gets on with the job and not even he slightest bit up his own arse.
