Any thought? Everything has to be scoured for possible insult?

Its an English football club.
If this was in the US I would agree, but without the primer of the article are most people in the UK going to think about that first?

Albeit the fact its so close to the anniversary is probably a bit of a factor thinking about it.
That's shifted my thinking a little actually.
