Another awful cheap and tacky Macron effort.

Another moany post.

In fairness Lee, the club have let us down again by not insisting on the use of gold thread and the finest silk, hand stitched and woven by skilled Italian craftsmen.

Faulkner out. Again

Macron must be the only Italian clothing manufacturer without any style.

your moaning is becoming white noise SH. Every so often if you threw in a bit of happiness you're other criticism might stand out a bit more. You've been told on numerous occasions that there are many of us, including myself that agree with what you say about the club. It's just everything you say is so radically negative and almost never complimentary or positive. I would be willing to bet that everyone here just knew you'd hate the kit, whatever it was because you had made up your mind beforehand that whatever  Randy or Faulkner do must be shit. It isn't, and once in a while it would be nice if you could either see that, or if you don't like don't comment on it and bring yet another thread down to a commentary on how dark the clouds are.

Kits are all about opinions and I accept not everyone is going to like it, but is it really so bad to have made the comments you have?

You make it sound like I've insulted you for calling the new kit rubbish.

not at all. Just pointing out that you have become H&V's own Nora Batty

And you're like that overly confident Fast Show character who shouts "BRILLIANT" at every piece of shit that gets thrown at his general direction.

again, you're not even close. You might want to read some of my posts in the past couple of months. I know exactly what I am going to find when I read yours.

Consistency TV, consistency.

Oh, I dunno about that, have you seen the state of some of that Stone Island guff wannabe retro hooligans still wear?

Is Stone Island Italian? Didn't know that.
Macron is up there with Bill Stunt Jeans when it comes to tackiness though. The sooner we give them the push the the better. Rubbish like that shouldn't be associated with a club as grand as Aston Villa. It's beneath us.

Better off with some multi-national child slave labour drivers instead.

I'd be surprised if Macron manufactured their kits anywhere other than in a cheap labour market in the Far East. Just like Nike and co.

Well it's hard to find anything controversial about them, and at least they bother designing us our own kit, and in time for the new season.

You make it sound like the Villa had to play in their skins.

It was worse, because it meant those people with zero fashion sense didn't have anything to wear on matchday, and they had to wear an ordinary garment plucked from their wardrobe, meaning home matches were like a giant civil protest against the fashion police.

For the millionth time, is it acceptable for a supplier to release the kit months later than promised, costing the club a fortune in lost revenue?

It was like when the Berlin Wall came down, and the East Germans came over, and everyone was happy, but then the Westerners started to notice that they were all wearing double denim and did a sort of collective vinegar face expression at them.

I couldn't care less what people in the stands wear. I want The players of Aston Villa in a classy kit befitting a club as grand as we are. Macron aren't fit to be our suppliers. They're trash

Didn't the government actually give them cash to sort themselves the fuck out?

Nike cost us a fortune. They're trash. I'm glad you're not Chief Executive as you're so willing to write off money. You seem to have an O'Neillian grasp of economics.

Yes, more or less.

That's what "Heimat 3" is about, basically. "Oh, we've won the world cup. Oh, hang on, you lot look rank, here's some money for clothes, haircuts and cars".

"Oh, and by the way, stop being so racist, too".

I'd gladly take control. I wouldn't have sold all our best players and replaced them with lower league trash. We wouldn't be perennial relegation strugglers then.

Yeah and you'd do that with magic money produced from a magic lamp, seeing as you're happy to write off money when a kit supplier can be arsed to do what they're supposed to and actually supply kit.

We'd have the best kit for a club in administration though.

The club have been writing off money left right and centre for the last 4 years. Has that passed you by?
