Wood is at the Olympics, vydra on a break after the euros. Neither will have a pre season with us I think NZ currently third with Romania to play could well be on their way home come Thursday our time ? Neither will require a pre-season they will have been with international sides over the summer n...

One of the programmes from the 1991 tour games makes for an interesting translation .. the line ups and such like are correct but from memory the league table it includes features Division Two and our old friends from Oakwell

I think our away shirt in 1983/84 was very similar design to this in white with a sky blue stripe. Or am I imagining it? If so, it would have been Spall.

Yes 82/83 claret trim sky pinstripes as worn at Wolves funnily enough - now any fans of this one might be happy in a few weeks time

Killington Lake / Tebay either or

It's probably the smartest kit we've had in 10 years. I'm looking forward to seeing an innovative 3rd kit. Hoping for a powerful all-orange or yellow fluoro kit just to REALLY p*ss off those who insist everything we wear has to be made out of wool and just like the 80s. 😂 both of the change kits ar...

How long has Woody been out of the country ? He's managed to model one irrespective.

They must have been around for a while now.

If going just for the game and not a social day out then driving is fine. Although you haven't mentioned petrol costs. The train is great if you book early.

You obviously have never driven to an away game in the Premier league.

I'm not instantly repulsed so it's a decent kit for me. Not too busy, very traditional and a more subtle sponsor reminiscent of POCO, Multipart and Endsleigh. Could the blue shorts and socks mean we're getting an all white away kit? I think we will see a set of both White and Claret shorts and sock...

England’s egg chasers , a sport much touted for its sense of fair play and doing the right thing , did the same thing after they lost a final .. maybe they don’t like being paraded around as though they’ve just come second in the egg and spoon race ?

You might be thinking of Macparlane or someone of a similar name who worked with Warburton at Brentford then joined Burnley to work on our recruitment (helped recruit Joey and Andre). However Warburto is a good friend of SD so I believe

Yes - Frank McParland

Wasn't he originally from Chorley?

Bolton born but yes he played for Chorley between 71-73. We used to watch a lot of non-league back then his initial move to Plymouth was a big story locally. I might well have seen him play for Chorley but I can’t honestly remember all these years later.

Hard to believe he is leaving because he needs a hip replacement unless his hips are so cream crackered at 51 that he is unable to come back as a coach. The purpose of joint replacement is to get the person to a better level of fitness than before the operation. He still has a living to make; why c...

Indeed. I am assuming Christie doesn't live in a high rise in Drumchapel. There seems to be a strange belief that players live where they play.

No if it suits all concerned then they will just photoshop it later - they could of course reshoot it with a new player or whatever but it was done weeks ago
