Would like it if Fox could pull a few strings and get us a Puma kit deal....always liked their clothing.

Them or Umbro. Next season is the last we have Macron.
Umbro....really!!??

Yes? Can't knock their kits at all. The 'less is more' stuff they did from 09 onward was top notch.
Do they actually make kits for a top flight teams any more?

Everton and Hull. Man City are Nike.

Don't forget Nike bought them, took all their big contracts and sold them off. Umbro are coming back up again and starting to get new deals, have had a bit of a rebrand.

I haven't been very impressed with Cleverley but i've seen a lot worse players in a Villa shirt than him. Having said that I wouldn't want us to sign him based on what i've seen this season.

Still prefer Puma or Adidas myself.

My Welsh top (adidas) oozes quality, but that's a story for another day.

I honestly hand on on heart wouldn't sign Cleverley on a free, there's hundreds of thousands more effective midfielder's playing football out there.
Holy hyperbole Batman.
Honestly, not an over reaction. I don't see how he plays Premier League football, it baffles me.
It was the 'hundreds of thousands' bit that I was referring to.
Take hundreds away then....

How many players do you think play professionally?

That's what I tried to say...and failed. Lots of players.... :)

Is that the first time in history that "Welsh" and "quality" have been used in the same sentence?

Good afternoon, gents.

As I'm not expecting anything from us today, up against a very in form Arsenal side, maybe, just maybe, we can pull off a real shock result. Two wins in 17 is beyond pathetic but now there are no excuses, we have supposedly our best team available, so let's see what we're all about.

Find it weird that Richardson is starting in front of Cissokho.

my point being he's not a second tier player so when you assess how many players play at the top level of the game in one of the established leagues around the world there isn't thousands of players in his position that are better than him. The number is significantly smaller which in your post above might be more accurate.

I'm sitting in a different place today (at the dinning table) in an attempt to break the hex of my sofa watching days.
