I see Flintoff has had further tattooing work.

[BingLeeElectric]

A lot of additional coverage on the upper right arm.

Couldn't tell what the design was. Please inform me.

 

[Perm]

No idea but I notice Michael Clarke has also newly tattooed his arm with the words "Carpe Diem" which is Latin for "Seize the Day".

I thought it was the "three lions" of england badge with a large "XI" above it and some smaller stuff above it that was too little to pick out on the shot they put up.

It's a fair sized tatt, must have been a while it the chair.

I'm sure he'll still be pleased with it when he's 65.

 

[UncleTheOne]

Must have taken bloody ages considering the size of his arms!

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

I'm sure he'll still be pleased with it when he's 65.

I'm pretty sure that tattoo for a 65 year old ex-cricketer would be easier to handle than most tattoos that people get when young.

I thought it was a disgusting to see Flintoff disgrace the history of this once great series by coming out to congratulate his daddy's in that string vest of his, like he's some sort of bodybuilder.

Listen Freddie, being bigger than Justin Langer & Ricky Ponting is no great achievement, so put it away and stop embarrassing yourself.

He was consciously trying to show off the hideous mess he had permenantly etched onto his arms like he's Tommy Lee or someone important. His arms are about the size of Lee's, I'll give him that, although probably even whiter if anything.

Brearley must be turning in his grave. (I know, don't bother) Bring back the proper hard men like Steve Waugh I say, not these fancy primadonna's. It's going to end up like vulgar Premiership soccer at this rate.

It's even worse than when Darren Goth started sporting a pair of diamond earings when he hit a mid life crisis.

Next thing we know, Pietersen will dye his whites, pink or something. In other words, play the game like it's just another one of his normal nights out.

England captain? Pffft.

Thought's on our sacred game being yet further tarnished by this sickening display of arrogance?

Does anyone else care? Seriously...

I don't know, maggot fart.

Do you find yourself constantly at a loose end?

You don't know the answer to that already?

Looks like a pikey tbh. Also if you agree with Rudolf Hilferding or say E.J. Hobsbawm such tattoos are rather redundant, considering nationalism is a fictional narrative created by the state for imperial means.

Perfectly put.

Gun summary.

 

[Perm]

I suggest you march into the England dressing room and tell them what you just told us, I'm sure we will all back you up.

Quite a narrow evaluation of nationalism but seriously is the Ashes thread the place to start discussing what the nation 'thing' is or isn't?

 

[silentstriker]

This is going to go far.

How does that make it redundant?

But seriously, shut up.

 

[pasag]

Gun tattoos tbh.

Flintoff surely must be regretting his decision after that BingLee outburst.
