Just noticed a photo of a Nazi flag flying above the stand at White Hart Lane for the England v Germany game in the 30's.WOW! Thank the Lord it was flying at halfmast in respect to the memory of Princess Victoria (apparently!). Just when I think I can't be shocked anymore.......!
Cav's having a splendid Tour Won the stage again this afternoon - 3rd win in six stages this year and 29th stage overall, second highest ever
Best sprinter ever seen in the TdF. Not great that he surpasses Hinault (and perhaps Merckx one day) though, given their stage wins were a by-product of pursuit of the greater prize.
He was Player of the Year in the Belgian 2nd division last season, scoring 13 goals and picking up 19 assists. He's also made the Trinidad national squad, though he's yet to play. Maybe he'll do the opposite of what everyone expected and bloom late? Good luck to him.
Have you seen our second kit for 2016/17? I suggest you have a strong drink or roll something relaxing before you do! I don't have words to describe how bad it is. Think of how badly you hate Chelsea, Arsenal and Donald Trump and then multiply those 3 things by the number of molecules in the Universe and you're not even close. I'm not wild on the third kit but...Jesus, who signed off on those, Stevie Wonder and David Blunkett? (When I wrote this I was in shock and under the impression the god awful pinstripe monstrosity was our second kit and not the blue and gold effort.)
I like the first kit, that gold and navy effect across the shoulders is really classy. The away kit (all navy) is ok I guess, could've been much, much worse and might actually look quite snazzy with the whole team out wearing it. Reminds me a lot of some of the classic Boca Juniors kits. As for that pathetic excuse of a 3rd kit...I'm almost tempted to say that it will be worth exiting the cups early so that we never have to suffer the indignity of being seen in that horrendous attempt at colour coordination. I see it as Under Armour sticking a rather large middle finger up at us for taking on Nike as our new designers from next season. Although a friend of mine did remark that as we supply most of Hull City's players, it's only logical that we should wear their colours
I like all of them But then I've not really found any of our kits offensive. Didn't like the one with the yellow lines in Poch's first season, but it grew on me. They've all been better than Southampton's first effort at Under Armour anyway!
Seems like I'm the only one who thinks the 2nd and 3rd kits look fantastic. That gold and navy look well good. It could be my complexion that brings out the best of it though.
Personally I can't stand the home kit. It loks like a half-finished, half-arsed attempt at recreating our last CL kit. The other 2 are better designs but I'm not keen on the colours, particularly for the third kit. Hopefully Nike will be better, Under Armour really peaked with the excellent home kit for the 13/14 season and have been several shades of rubbish before and since.
