Don't think she's staying at our hotel....

[Worthy4England]

I'd like to add the phrase "what does that even mean?" As opposed to just plain old "what does that mean?"

Has she got any?

How can anyone be allowed to register "Man of the Match" for financial gain? Did the OFS Group actually come up with the phrase? Did they bollocks. I thought this was all about protecting a creative work or invention. Man of the Match has been around longer than I have and I was born slightly earlier than 2002.

Not only that they are going to sell it and may get millions! Fecking reduculos.

OFS Group, an intellectual property firm which registered the trademark for the phrase in 2002, is selling the rights.

Bookmakers including Ladbrokes and Paddy Power and beer firms such as Budweiser and Carlsberg have already expressed their interest in rights, which include the Man of the Match trademark and the website address, motm.com. Metis Partners is brokering the deal.

The trademark is expected to fetch a high six-figure sum, although it could stretch into the millions amid expectations that the new owner will effectively be able to penalise companies for using the phrase without consent. OFS has already made a return on the trademark by licensing it for use on packets of KP Peanuts and McCoy’s crisps.

“It’s a phrase that is used all the time and the buyer will have the opportunity to charge for that use,” said Metis chief executive Stephen Roberston. “It’s not quite about suing them, the way Apple does for companies that use its name, but they will be able to make some money.”

Andy Gray, the former Aston Villa player, who now hosts Talksport Radio, added that Man of the Match was one of the game’s “most respected accolades”.

“Players in the really big leagues appreciate it because it means that they are seen as being the best of the best.”

OFS will not be the first company trying to make money out of a phrase. Last year, Surrey businessman Mark Coop was branded “greedy” after he registered the trademark to the wartime slogan “Keep Calm and Carry On” and banned other companies from using it.

In 1992, American boxing and wrestling announcer Michael Buffer took out the trademark to his own slogan, Let’s Get Ready to Rumble, and sold it to companies that produce videos and adverts. By 2009 he had made more than $400m (£246m) from the rights.

Offers for the Man of the Match trademark are due on Thursday.

How the fcuk can you trademark the English language? Right, I'm trademarking "What a load of bollox". Anybody using it will be sued.

It's easily circumvented - Player of the Game, Game's Best Player, Player of the Match and so on.

I've just registered those and a shitload more and am prepared to offer low rents. Ker-fecking-ching!

today i'm angry about people that have to ask if Arsenal are in the champions league this season... Surely that should be knowledge everyone should know? Eh?

[Lost Leopard Spot]

Just wondering. Does anybody know if Arsenal are in the champions league this season? Can't remember if they were fourth or fifth last season.

Baffling isnt it...just dont recall how they finished last season, maybe its because SPurs were doing so well and it took all the attention away from Arsenal

You're right. I seem to recall that Spurs were heading for Europe (and then that nice man Mr Redknap got the sack). I'll have to google it.
