  1. I'm fine with 'meh' that doesn't try to put out something unique to be a banger but ends up shite. It's a nice kit imo and a middle of the road design quickly becomes iconic if we have a good season in it. Genuine question for those old enough at the time, was the granddad collar kit universally considered a beauty on reveal? Or did people gradually deem it iconic because of the seasons we were having in them?
  2. I've absolutely no genuine knowledge but looking back at the Adidas->Puma/Puma->Castore switches it doesn't look like we played in the new kits. I'd assume there's less chance when it involves co-operation between manufacturers, even more so as I assume Castore despise us at this point so probably wouldn't dare consider it.
  3. I've passed a few clips of the old Masters tournaments today and it got me thinking what could be a fun, somewhat realistic squad if we entered now. As far as I'm aware the only rules are 35 years old plus, 6 starters 2 subs. I've settled on the following: GK - Given Def - Colo & Hughes Mid - Cabaye & Robert Fwd - Shearer (but I'm sure he won't pick up the phone so I'll draft in Cisse for the screamers) Subs - Perch (gotta get some mediocre versatility in there) & HBA (if he doesn't pick up his phone either Jonas)

    I feel properly attacked whenever the food conversation comes up. No matter what I've eaten outside of SJP I invariably end up with a burger when I'm in there at some point. Can't you just let us fattie patties be?

    Which ironically I find much more offensive just because it looks like shite.
  11. Ah there's still hope then. The last few were closed Wednesday/run Thursday so just assumed that had become the norm.
  12. Yeah no complaints overall. Shame I've not had an excuse to get up much since the new year but it's a reasonable hit rate and made better by only catching one loss, one draw and possibly the best NUFC match I'll personally see in the flesh.
  13. After another failure today and only two more applications to go I thought I'd look at my overall ballot record which has well and truly turned on its head. An 8/21 record well and truly carried by 6/7 between Man City League Cup and Chelsea League games. 2/11 since. Suppose I could've picked a worse period of games to use up all my luck.

    We're a nation of absolute nonces. Crying over the colour scheme of a flag being messed around with for some clothes ffs. Quite like them myself.
  15. It's sounds practically like what we have in place already, no? Howe gets a say but isn't in full control. Of course you want player recruitment departments to be in sync with the style of football the manager plays. Not every signing is going to be spot on to that as not every transfer works out 100% right but our recruitment could be on course for a pretty good hit rate unless we see significant long term issues with injuries/Tonali. I just don't get where this idea that Howe has/could get too much power has come from. Honestly waiting for a few years time when it's been decided that TRC's theory of Ashworth being 'forced' out of the club in an attempt from Eddie to consolidate his 'power' is treated as gospel.
