Re: Next seasons kit
Hard to have a strong opinion on that at all. It's just a typical Burnley kit.
It does look like Villa, but isn't that why we play in Claret and Blue anyway?

25 really is late to make it as a pro, what a career he had too, maybe even helped him later on. I think Vardy was still non-league at roughly the same age.

Re: All Time Top 20 Championship Players - Second Tier Podcast
Tricky one to assemble that, as the best ones quickly move on to the Prem, like Trippier or Ings.
So then you’re looking at lesser players who hung around for years in the 2nd tier, because they were never quite good enough. Robbie Blake maybe for us?

Re: Next seasons shirt sponsor.
It's a quandary for sure. A disreputable Far East gambling firm promoting a damaging industry which football says it should be distancing itself from.. and yet the logo looks quite good on a Claret shirt.
That said, I've not bought a replica shirt since becoming an adult so it's no biggie for me.
