Disco Stu

I remember this from last years kit thread. Not sure if it's been posted already but has a lot of simularities (apart from the lack of collar) with what's being described here so good to visualise. Interesting enough, I can't find a football single shirt where Under Armour have placed a badge centrally but I did find this which could suggest where the Under Armour logo could go which looks perfectly fine to me (same place as the addidas logo on the mock up)...

Did it look like this?

No doubt he's a good enough manager to scrape top half. Unfortunately, his teams are significantly less entertaining compared to what we've had these last 7 years. If people don't mind that then that's their business. I can't justify paying £600 for inferior football I'm afraid. Same price, worse team.

I'd take bloody James Beattie at this point!

What happned to minimum of FOUR minutes?

I think Puel might have had it. Outfoxed there by Hughes after half time.

M-A-S-H

Interesting comment there saying it could be a ploy to catch out those making copies and that the genuine shirts will have plain backs. Possible I guess.

The whole Europa run was a disgrace. Why spend a season trying to quality if all you're going to do is play second string teams?

Did anyone watch Puel's teams prior to this season? Were they any more entertaining? Perhaps we can look forward to improvements if we give him more time.

This is all too familiar. I don't know why they do this every season...

You just knew it wouldn't go in.

Strolling about dragging his feet. Compare him to the start of the season. He's giving 80%.

Bertrand really has stopped giving a **** hasn't he?

19 my arse.

Same thing goes for Athletico Madrid.

Change is coming. Huge overhaul I expect. Although I believe Puel will stay. Hopefully we get this takeover (whomever that may be) done soon because the last thing we need is an owner reluctant to put any more money in and possibly more likely to sell our assets.

I can't say I know much about his role at the club. Did he do a good job? Was he just dealing with admin or did he have any influence on our fire sales?

Something to do with a takeover bid perhaps?

Tadic's conversion rate is far too poor to be our regular taker. He doesn't have the bottle.

No. Jay Rodriguez has never been near the standard Caceres can be. That doesn't negate my point about Stephens learning from him at all.

Injured. He hasn't lost his ability. There's no doubt in my mind that he's better than Yoshida and Stephens. I believe we should always play our best players. Stephens would probably learn a thing or two from Caceres.

It's not wild at all. He's proven at Champions league level. Even without much game time this past season, he clearly hasn't lost the ability. I saw him first hand as he completely dominted the U23's game vs Chelsea.

Yes but he's better than what we have. He should be playing!
