Does Gabby even know how to play as a striker, he never runs into the box anticipating.

Welcome. First game? Always nice to have new fans on board......

Yeah, when I typed it I wondered how many times that exact sentence has been posted on match days.

Seeing the kit under normal conditions I have to say its very, well, samey.

Looking forward to losing Macron and hopefully getting Fox to work his magic with Adidas or Puma.

surely though if the mandate is claret bodies, blue sleeves the logo on the kit won't make that much of a difference? And if then another company comes in and completely changes the design there will be on outcry from traditionalists. For example really Arsenal under Nike or Puma look like Arsenal. As they should.

Gabby up front is terrible now. I'd sooner we played Robinson up front and Sinclair on the left. We'll see how we look with the changes because up to the penalty area we look good.

The Muller one, stripes...?

I'm not suggesting an overhaul, but I've got the Mitre shirt with the lace neck....I don't know if its colour or sheen but for me it looks better than the shirts now. They all look cheap and tacky to me these days.
