...that's how articles are written these days. Lets not forget our friends in the "its only a kit" gang...its only a football kit so why on earth should any journalist spend more than half an hour on it? Its only an article on only a football kit so who cares? I doubt you'd be dishing out a critique if the story was about how brilliant Saints are and everything.

What's shi te about it? Its a few lines long and perfectly accurate. They could have said that three quarters of Saints fans don't like it.

No one needs to shout on an internet poll. The pros have shouting the loudest anyway. Nice try though.

This thread, especially when compared to last year's equivalent. And the Echo poll, at 25% approval.

Opinion is not 50/50 though is it?

If the story was "all Saints fan adore their new kit" then that would be shi te journalism and completely untrue. That'll be the media conspiracy against Saints then....

Might be because I'm on Tapatalk but all I can see is Man U top with 125.63%. Then Arsenal second with 220.50%. Saints are 180.40%. On my planet those numbers don't mean jack.

Great work. Not a effing clue what the percentages mean, or what any of it means. But brilliant anyway.

24,000 would be a triumph and probably would lead to a sell out every single match next season. MLG will be wetting himself at the prospect and will no doubt suddenly decide he now has all the information required to say we are officially bigger than Everton. Lets see if we do it. 24,000 is a lot.

You can't beat a nine quid barber. Went myself today. Although it was a seven quid barber eight years ago. And it was four quid way back when I first went to Eddie Horn's in Shirley. Which is still there with the Toby Jugs everywhere even if EH isn't. He is possibly/probably dead.

So West Ham couldn't get taken over by billionaires then? West Ham with a fine tradition of developing youth, couldn't forge a team of starlets and finish fourth? And West Ham are bigger than Everton or something as well. And so on.

Can I take this opportunity to sinerely apologise for accusing you of hating red and white striped football jerseys. If I'd have known it would cut you up quite this much I would never have mentioned it.

I've not read the book but the previous thread in that book had Hoddle as the one who was "well up" for selling Beattie. Lowe less so. Be interesting to see quotes otherwise. And correct me if I'm wrong but if a manager wants a player out should the chairman overrule it? Because you'd have provably slate Lowe for that too. And, anyway, lets be clear - we did not sell Beattie for £3m, did we? I don't mind people slating Lowe but having a pop at his ability to get a great deal on outgoing transfers is just ridiculous. Slating him for transfers that didn't even happen is pretty harsh too.

Lowe could have sold Lallana but gave him a long term contract instead. Have absolutely no idea how much earlier Alex O-C could have been sold. He was sold at the earliest possible/realistic opportunity. I struggle to think of any player sold for a big fee by Lowe that didn't push for the move themselves. Maybe Kevin Davies but that was mental money and the right call. Lowe debates. You cannae beat em....!

Intentionally not spending to create surplus money sounds like, err, precisely what Rupert Lowe did do. And, second err, its not surplus money that gets you to the Europa League. It's players.

And twice as funny is you think people are really that bothered in the great scheme of things. It's a football kit mush. It's not important. Not sure why you think you have the monopoly on saying that. And almost as funny as some freak on a web forum trying to get me to answer some questions. Can you get through the day if I don't? Tell you what, I'll concede that you are definitely the winner. Well done.

What questions were these then? Apologies for not hanging on your every word. I am not doubting your Asda experience petal. I used to work in a virgin megastore. And a greengrocers. Go me. Just not sure why comparing/assessing old kits is far game but people saying our new on is shi te gets you jolly awfully upset. If it is all so unimportant why do you care about what others think?

Gut feel says, in this instance, he would be mad to go. Even if he is good as everyone says (I have no idea) that probably only means he's going to get 15-20 appearances for us, in the Prem. Which probably equates to three or four cup run outs for Chelsea were he to go there. He is better off at Saints but don't count on it. We've got dough but I doubt we're about to start paying 17 year olds thirty grand a week. Especially one with basically no first class football in the bank.

Basically for you it is fine to grizzle about our old/traditional kit (wah wah we used to look like someone who works at Asda) but not our new kit. Nice to see how your "perspective" filter works. And you clearly don't understand football culture at all if you think the only relationship fans have with our strip is the purchasing and wearing of replica kits. You do realise the team are actually going to wear this kit on match days don't you? This isn't London fashion week with the club bringing out a new clothing line.

I think I've had about three infractions ever. Two were about circumventing the f u ck i ng swear filter. I think I have only ever had one for being a sarcastic sneering git. Which is probably surprising to some. And can I take this opportunity to say I do find Bearsy quite funny. I'll let you know if I get infracted for this post.

Pretty sure the official number from yesterday was 3,000 shirts sold. And when I say official number I mean number made up by some spanner on the other kit thread yesterday afternoon.

I don't really care how many people buy it to be quite honest and you are off your tits if you thought for a moment people wouldn't buy the new Premier League Saints kit. You'll be saying we'll sell out our first home league game due to the new kit next. I am chilled out but i will mock people who have suddenly decided they hate the fact we wear red and white stripes because Stoke do. If someone had started a thread to that end the day after the Coventry match they would have got laughed out of town.

Seems that our classic strip is a big deal to some people. We've spent most of the last half century looking like people behind the deli counter in Asda apparently. If that's not "whinging fans" I don't know what is.

There is no such choice whatsoever.

Just how long have you hated the fact we wear red and white stripes? Until this week I have never heard in real life (or even read on a forum and I've been on them for a decade now) anyone complaining that our kit being similar to Stoke was a massive problem. Never. I don't remember anyone now sneering at stripes complaining last year either - please put me right if you did. But I bet you didn't. Now, apparently our similarity to Stoke was a major issue to some people. Its all a bit odd. I expect uproar from these people if we are back in stripes next season.
