Well luckily in the past few years at least the away kits have generally been better and the third's have been sexy mofos!

...but that sponsor. It's just too pikey and too big!

2021/22 away kits I liked .. last season’s ? not so much

thehistorylecturer62

If you had told me after the last game of last season that we would start our Premier League campaign with a team significantly weaker than then I would have laughed out loud. Who has ever done that after a promotion? There may well be a few weeks to go but then people say the new signings would ne...

Just seen a few of the clubs retweets on twitter

The kit is horrendous. The sponsor is probably the worst we've ever had and totally demolishes what is already a really **** looking shirt.

Just think … two more kits to come

Has anybody on this board actually had a conversation with a member of our first team squad or coaching staff, about Weghorst?

Yes

With Burnley’s transfer tactic to approach a large number of players and subsequently put in a lot of bids and then even pull out at the medical stage or close to the end of the process.

Palpably untrue and beyond contempt.

Was ahead of the game recently for Jack Clarke, Bart Verbruggen and James Trafford - but knows nothing? Certainly seems to know a lot more than the ‘itk’ posters on here. No he really doesn’t ..

To be honest I wouldn't mind us doing something like that for our away kit- or the black & gold stripes/blue and white.
It'd be more interesting than the usual away kits which never really catch my eye.

I liked the black and gold one I must admit

thehistorylecturer62

Other new players will arrive soon enough .. sometimes we are only told well after the event

thehistorylecturer62

Agreed. Having a look doesn't mean hes going to play him- it means just that, seeing if he thinks he's a suitable backup/starter (unlikely he's a starter for them) and if not, whether they want to cash in now or extend his contract and loan again to see if he progresses further. After all, Maatsen'...

I can't see why the game could not have been switched to the soulless Stadium MK which is vacant on that day (as it is most game days) as Franchise are away at Colcehester.

Because that won’t meet current PL standards either

thehistorylecturer62

It is indeed the PL who are at fault ..

If they are going to have ground grading standards they should do as the SPL have done in the past and refuse entry to anyone who doesn’t meet the deadline / arrange a suitable groundshare or what is the point in having minimum standards ?

To be fair, they have known for over a year what would need doing if they went up. But they have only known for a couple of months that it does need doing.

They’ve known Kenilworth Road needed replacing since the 1980s and done nothing about it.

thehistorylecturer62

I just don’t understand why they’re fine in the championship but not premier league… it’s just a pitch, play it as normal until they’re ready Ground grading is a big issue at most levels of the pyramid until you get into the top four divisons .. then you get more leeway which is strange really .

The police dog that bit a player on the final day in 1987 - in the extra time added, a goal was scored which sent Lincoln down instead of us……

Torquay equalised in injury time or they’d have been relegated not us

One of the lads wandering across the bridge on Holme Road back in the early 1880s saying ‘tell you what lads let’s kick it instead of carrying it - like those association rules types I saw up at Turf Moor back in the 1870s , seems a better game to me ‘

I know they take hours. What part of 'of sorts' did you misunderstand? I'll be very surprised if a 19yo fails a medical. You mention John Walters.

I was precise in my use of the term 'of sorts.' You can be suffering from a hamstring tweak and pass a medical. You can have broken bones and pass a medical. Medicals check for things like long term illness, heart health, flexibility, ascertaining injury history (I believe). It's a required formali...

Well I like it - a combination as worn in a couple of 66/7 Fairs Cup ties and some late sixties away games . I didn’t like last season’s kit one bit or the Ribero original for that matter. At the end of the day we all have different tastes and it will be consigned to the bargain rack next summer .

Yes .. given how long the medicals take there must be an awful lot of boxes !

These were my thoughts too. You don't get to a medical until the agreement is in place between the clubs, so surely it's not that, and I heard somewhere that while it's not impossible to fail a medical, it's highly unlikely, even for players who have suffered serious injuries like ACLs; it's more o...
