On the opposite side is Flamengo’s alternate logo which is a stylised C.R.F. and a star over the top also denoting the victorious ’81 season.The away kit accompanying the home follows the same design style except with the majority of the shirt transformed to white, a variation on the sleeves and collar colour have also been applied.

The scamonebay website made a guide about buying signed shirts on Ebay whichcan help you buy the real deal. Heres a few facts to follow when buying a signed shirt.They are easy to spot and there are some easy rules to follow when buying a signed shirt. 1. Don't buy of eBay con men (obviously but what are the tell tale signs?) 2. Make sure they can show you photo's of the players signing the shirt 3. Don’t buy off anyone using "private auctions" were you can't see the other bidders identities - this helps them fraud you in two ways, first they can push the price up artificially and secondly its stops quality operators from contacting you and letting you know that its a fake. 4. Don’t buy from anyone that hides their feedback - WHY would a reputable dealer do that - a real dealer’s feedback is his pride and joy and they would NEVER hide it. IGNORE Certificates of Authenticity - they mean nothing and we only make them up ourselves on the computer - the only CoA that is worth anything is if it is on official club paper. 5. Watch out for guys that have only been around for a year but have amassed a very large feedback - it’s a sign that they may have been barred before and come back under a different name! Also watch out for guys that have only been around for about two or three months but are selling shirts very regularly - it's a sign that they have been barred before and have had to start up again from scratch. 4. Don’t buy off guys that JUST have Man Utd, Chelsea jerseys, Arsenal shirts, Pele, Maradona and Beckham signed stuff - these items are the hardest stuff to get hold of in reality and you wouldn't be selling these on 1 day auctions as you would want as many people to see it as possible and therefore leave the auction running as long as possible and would only get a couple of these a month or in the case of Pele and Maradona twice in a lifetime! 5. Real dealers have more Leyton Orient, Burnley, Charlton, Fulham and Stockport County than the quality stuff as those clubs are easier to obtain and therefore REAL DEALERS will have a big mix of stuff from these clubs and not just the high profile clubs. 6. Many of these guys also use fake shirt bought in bulk from Thai for £5 a go instead of the real shirts the cost £40. That is how they can sell them so cheap and let you think you are getting a bargain. If a real shirt costs £40, the eBay listing and fees cost £15 and timing getting the signatures and writing up the ad's cost £20 that’s a total of £75 before they even make a penny so how can they sell signed shirts for £60 every day? Why would they do it’s unless it was fake? Ask them is the shirt itself official merchandise or is it what they call a "replica" aka FAKE!!! - Alarm bells should start ringing! 7. Ask them where are they based - if they are based in Newcastle and sell an Arsenal and Chelsea shirt every couple of days ask yourself how does he get it, the same goes for a guy in Devon with Manchester United shirts or Liverpool jersey shirts? If a guy is based in London he is more likely to have Millwall, Chelsea shirt, Spurs, Leyton Orient stuff - in Manchester the guys will have Stockport, Blackburn, Preston, Manchester United shirt and City - you get the idea! 8. Don’t just buy a shirt the first day you look at eBay wait at least 4 days and watch what’s going on - its not hard to sniff out the repeat fakers - however most Auntie's and girlfriend stupidly buy the first shirt to end and give a dud away as a present and then leave the guy good feedback without knowing. 9. Nobody likes to think they have bought a fake and these guys faked signatures a pretty good and only a dealer would really be able to tell you if they are fake so be careful. 9. Ask them where and when the shirt was signed, ask them if they got it signed themselves or did someone else do it for get it for them. If they cant tell you where and when - then its a fake, if they say they got it from a "very reputable source within the club" or "a dealer who I have been working with for years and trust" or anyone else bar them THEN ITS A FAKE!!!! 10. MOST IMPORTANTLY don’t buy of guys who sell on one day auctions - they do this so they can sell a fake a day and not look suspicious, if they had ten day auctions and had ten shirts the same on at the same time then that would look too suspect. I can't believe how gullible some bidders are. Don't buy a dud buy an investment. Why not pay a little bit extra on this one instead of buying another shirt that isn’t even worth the cost of the shirt!!!!

While Chelsea are silently ruled by Roman Abramovich’s iron fist and the fans sing in unison against the comedic stylings of interim manager Rafa Benitez, Arsenal are having troubles of their own as the splintered factions of the club can’t seem to agree on how to keep from going backwards.

When Arsenal traveled to Brighton on Saturday, where they managed to edge out the Championship side with a 3-2 win in the fourth round of the FA Cup, a scuffle reported broke out between Arsenal fans. In the 80th minute, with the score still 2-2, several Arsenal supporters held up a banner directed at manager Arsene Wenger that read "Arsene, thanks for the memories but it’s time to say goodbye." The Telegraph explains what happened next:

Certain sections of the away end called for it to be put away.

Witnesses to the incident said that there was some a “limited” outbreak of violence between fans but that it was more about the reaction towards Andre Santos and the performance of the team rather than Wenger personally.

After Theo Walcott struck a late winning for Arsenal, many away support starting did start chanting ’One Arsene Wenger’ in support of their manager.

Meanwhile, russian oligarch Alisher Usmanov, who has been playing a game of Hungry Hungry Hippos for Arsenal ownership with American businessman Stan Kroenke in recent years (Usmanov has about 30 percent of shares while Kroenke has about 60), gave an interview to L’Euipe that showed the scuffles aren’t limited to the away end at Falmer Stadium.

Usmanov gave his support to Wenger, who has been reluctant to spend and seen his carefully laid plans ruined by having to sell some of the club’s biggest stars in recent years. "The greatest achievement of Arsene Wenger is to have created two teams: the one that now plays for our rivals and the one that is trying to be among the best in the Premier League," said Usmanov. He continued (via the Guardian):

"For me, he’s one of the best coaches in the world, but it’s not easy for him. I think he deserves that players are brought in at Arsenal when they’re needed.

"The best players, and not being satisfied with selling our best players to our rivals. If that happens, we can ask everything of him. But, today, he’s sacrificed. Because of the policy and we’re all to blame. Everything’s in [the Arsenal majority shareholder] Mr Kroenke’s hands and I hope he succeeds, even if he doesn’t go along with my ideas.

"It’s unthinkable that the shareholders get well-paid while, for small clauses in contracts, we lose key players, symbols like Robin van Persie, Mathieu Flamini or Patrick Vieira. We should have increased their salaries when they started to be courted, started to look elsewhere. I don’t know why we didn’t propose that to them."

And if that dig at Kroenke and the rest of the Arsenal board wasn’t clear enough, Usmanov circled back with a hammer. And Thierry Henry. And an eye patch, apparently.

"I like many footballers and I’m in contact with some of them. Perhaps my favourite of the last 10, 15 years is Thierry Henry. He’s pushing me to buy all of Arsenal’s shares, but I cannot predict the future," he said.

"When I had the chance to buy some shares and become one of the main shareholders in the club, I didn’t hesitate for a second. I was even ready to take total control. That wasn’t possible because certain people preferred to make a profit and create, using me, an outside enemy. I remain portrayed as a pirate, an enemy. They have won that game."

Though the doomsday scenarios of football clubs preached by fans and journalists often focus on the consequences of having all the power in the hands of one very impatient and perhaps too decisive sugar daddy, the more patient groups comprised of differing opinions that run a club like a proper business can be problematic too.
