Is this the worst thing ever seen at a football ground? Hang on, let me rephrase that: this is the worst thing ever seen at a football ground. To the general outrage of all right-minded Fulham fans, and the hilarity of everyone else, Mohammad Al-Fayed unveiled his statue of Michael Jackson outside Craven Cottage this afternoon. Look at it. You might, might , get away with it, if you produce something vaguely classy and understated, perhaps something in burnished bronze or marble. But this embarrassing full colour Play-doh sculpted, Madame Tussauds reject? Really? You have to feel sorry for Fulham fans, you really do. And Fayed, having unveiled this monstrosity, further endeared himself to the home faithful: “Why is it bizarre? Football fans love it,” he gibbered. “If some stupid fans don’t understand and appreciate such a gift they can go to hell. I don’t want them to be fans. If they don’t understand and don’t believe in things I believe in they can go to Chelsea, they can go to anywhere else.” So, Fulham fans, your chairman says if you don’t like this unspeakably tacky, gobsmackingly cheap, eyewateringly ugly, teeth-gratingly embarrassing, utterly, utterly awful monument to a ‘controversial’ pop star whose private life means the word controversial has to be placed in inverted commas before his description as a pop star and who has as much to do with Fulham Football Club as the Teletubbies have to do with the Denver Broncos, then you can do one down the road to Stamford Bridge. Nice one Chairman Mo. Nice one. Premier League Fulham Blackpool John Ashdown guardian.co.uk
