Why not West Ham?

Only teams with stripes. Doesn't make sense as its easy to see black numbers on red and white stripes. Id argue only dark stripes like the mags would have any problem with making it difficult to see numbers!

While we are at new things in this league did anyone see a player being interviewed at half time on sky? What American drivel is that?

If i was a player, trying to keep focused in the midst of a tight game of football, the last thing i would want lingering in the back of my mind would be the thought of having to be interviewed at half time by some berk.
 
It's a ridiculous rule. If officials are unable to see the numbers on a shirt they need either glasses, contacts or a different career.

Makes the shirts look ****.

it’s for international commentators believe it or not

Its bollocks mate, I'mnot particularly arsed what they have to say at full time but half time is ****ing horresndoues.

I hope players start giving ****e clichéd interviews "game of two halves" "only.half way there" "still all to play for" etc...

Just make it really really ****ong boring and pointless!

Just got back. Still not sure it really happened. Bairns first game in person at 6 yr old. Spent the last 24 hrs trying to temper his expectations...a little bit! Amazing day!

Noah Sadiki seems to not even need to run...he just hovers everywhere, all over the pitch, all the time! Habib just class. Roefs...one of those players that you can just look at while he's doing not much and tell immediately he's the absolute business. Such high hopes for him.

So pleased it all turned out well for you mate ...

... I bet he's taking some getting to sleep <laugh>
 
done the full 90 again and while i honestly try not to pick faves i can't help it right now so my choice is reinildo...he came in pretty much 'under the radar' as a free with a 30m and 20m transfers going on but i honestly think he is our bargain of the window, just so cool at the back and he can shift when he needs to plus the 2nd goal came from him, quick change of shape gave him the room to run forwards and make the pass to adringa.

talbi and adringa have both improved over the games as well...this squad is only going to improve.
