Harks back to an earlier AC Milan kit if I remember right. Looks good in Black/Red, but in White/Red would be a bit fussy.

You tart! Just be sure to wear stockings at least.

Imagine our beered up bellied fans in the Northam in Kappa shirts, it would give Turkish a heart-attack! And for that reason, i'm in!

Just so long you remember to wear a Santa hat. Priorities.

Addidas supply Stoke and Sunderland. As close as you would find to what we would expect. We are of course assuming that there will be a return to stripes....

At least for our club the Santa outfits are in the right colours. The blue ones they wheel out for Everton, The Skates etc just seem a little wrong. God bless Coca Cola for popularising Father Christmas in their corporate colours.

Don't forget your humbugs kids!!

Didn't we have a thread for this?

Well, it certainly helped perpetuate it. Yuletide greetings to all! Have a pensive Christmas one and all.

Yet without it there would be no Christmas.

Religion is an odd one. Science proves consistently that there is so much beyond our comprehension, therefore the concept of a god or supreme being cannot be ruled out. Organised religion as we know it though is utterly driven by political means rather then any desire to encourage enlightenment (Buddhism notwithstanding.) The Agnostic route is surely preferable to one of complete disregard.

Religion? The bare minimum for me.

What a wonderful idea, and totally in the spirit of the season. A charity game with proceeds going to those less fortunate. It'll be a cash injection beyond the Skate Trust's wildest dreams!

As distasteful as I find giving a 12 year old a smartphone......Samsung Galaxy Y or Lumia 610

The Championship was only fun when we were winning. As a fan I want to see my club competing at the highest level it possibly can. The wins at this level feel more meaningful, the goals more joyful, the extra profile at rubbing shoulders with the best clubs in the country more satisfying. Premier League all the way for me.

As I have from now until new year off work i'm considering getting this. I'm guessing it will utterly consume the free time I otherwise would have had, no?

Bradley Wiggins, a man with actual personality winning the Sports Personality of the Year award. Makes a change!!

It would be interesting to see what Nigel Adkins could do with him...

Stop teasing, come on.....

Regardless of why that information entered the thread, it did (Although the sarcastic initial replies to the thread show no credit to those who posted them and would obviously have baited the OP). The reaction to it was the most important aspect.

And that is why you will not be missed.

It's not the money that I would be critical of, it's how it was focused. Over twenty million on two attacking players, if they make the difference that keeps us up then fantastic, if not then questions would need to be asked. I would feel it would be the wrong to point the finger at just Nigel Adkins.

Because he would probably say something along the lines of 'man up and buy some Bonjella.' It's easing off now, thankfully. Worst thing about it was that swelling was causing it to rub against my back teeth. So while it's still there, the reduced swelling is enough to make it more then tolerable. It's lasted a week now, not had one quite that bad before.

Just watching a few Bond films on Sky Movies Christmas. I had forgotten just how good a bond girl Michelle Yeoh was in Tomorrow Never Dies. Hardly a classic Bond film but she really was excellent.

Good to know. Then we are agreed that even if he cannot match what Norwich have managed then survival, let alone mid-table would be an achievement to savour, regardless of whether it has been outstripped by another club?
