people dont have to get their kids both shirts just coz their kids want them. When I was a boy I only ever got a Saints shirt as a birthday present. If people wanna spoil their kids and just give in to their demands thats their problem. As a parent it winds me up when other parents shower their kids with stuff as some kind competition with other parents. That said, I might get my one year old a mini kit.

My 2 year old crapped on my old 2010 calendar yesterday that was sitting next the recycling. Straight onto Fonte's face it was. I would say thats poor judgement from the boy.

It has changed. They have replaced the "125" thing with a football.

Actually I live in Patcham which is pretty middle-classish. Yeah im fed up with the Albion fans harping on about their new ground. Its got one big stand but the other 3 just remind me of Orient's or Colchester's grounds. Theyre far too cocky considering where they were before Bloom came along. Get to a few games a season - about 6 or 7 last season and 2 away games (strangely Orient & Colchester)

I was born and bred in Sussex and all my brothers support Brighton. I always wanted to be different and this was no more true at the age of 7 when deciding what team to support. I remember my mum saying "why not Southampton", my elder Brighton fan brother said "yeah theyve just signed keegan". I looked at a picture of the kit, and decided that was the team for me. My next birthday present was the Rank Xerox kit and the rest is history.

In the prem we were happy to pay £32 to £38 for a ticket and everything was more expensive. The one silver lining of our fall from grace since 2005 has been the cheaper ticket prices. As we go back up the leagues and generally become successful again, obviously thing become dearer. Anyway, if theyre bringing in this rule where clubs can only spend what they make, surely prices like this need to be increased so its not a sudden increase when the rule comes in. How easy is it to get a beer in this Dell bar? Is there enough staff etc

I remember being excited when Kevin Phillips signed. First time since Keegan I remember us signing a big prem name. Little did I know he would be a misfiring t0sser.

They were sh1te coz they had already won the league. One point I will make though is they have lost 2 pivotal players in Murray in Bennett whilst we have gone the summer without any real loss. So they have made some strong signings whilst we havent, we still have Lambo, AL, Fonte, Spiderman etc and even if we were to lose AOX to Arsenal or whateverm that would spark some serious spending.

Fair play to Brighton. Theyve had it bad for so long. All my family and a lot of my friends support them and to think where they were in the late nighties. I might stroll down to their new bizarre looking stadium this coming season for an evening game or 2. I think the difference between us and them is they are trying to make a statement here. They have one guy at the helm who is definitely doing a Jack Walker and enjoying himself in the process. We are being far more careful and wont pay silly money nor wages - were just slow but surely following our 5 year Premiership plan.

The Brighton owner has spent 90mil of his own cash on their new stadium. Who knows what wages they were offering him?

You cant blaim NA or even NC for this. Theyre not gonna pursue a player who doesnt want to play for us.

I dont reckon we should sign CMS. He must be in his 50's seeing as he appeared in a sitcom in the 80's

Coventry away I reckon

No because theirs is blue and white. If they think these shirts are gonna have the impact of last years then they should think again. Last years shirt was so popular coz: - no sponsor - it was a smart shirt different than most footy shirts. - 125 anniversary special. I'm certainly gonna keep my sash shirt hanging in the wardrobe whereas all my other old saints shirts are stuffed in the bottom of a set of drawers never to be worn again. Personally, if they were to release it now, I would get it so I can wear it during the summer and maybe at the gym. Now they are release it in late July I probably wont bother. I'll have the new season to look forward to instead. Thats just me though. I also wont be buying it to make a point. Another point to make is that the shirt is 11-12. So just one year then? Meaning I cant wear it for most of this summer, then come next summer I'll be wearing a shirt that is about to be replaced. The decision to release it so late fuels the opinion of others clubs that were arrogant. Like were so massive that releasing a bloody footy t-shirt is such a big event and we should savour it. Cortese out! Adkins out!

Cortese out !

The point is its a f*cking t shirt. You wear them during the summer. So why let half the summer get away before releasing it. Most other clubs know what their shirt will be.

What a f*king joke. The one thing to keep the boredom away during the summer of no football (especially with no Euros or world cup) is the buying of the new shirt and possibly wearing it while on holiday. Why the hell are we waiting until just before the season starts.

they look like theyre signing Lua lua too who was on loan there earlier in the season

Coventry away. 1 - 1

Perhaps he just had an itchy nose.

So were changing our badge and sponsor then

Whatever. Its been that way since I was born.

Hell no. We escaped lightly when they changed our badge - only changing the ball. Loads of teams have changed their badges in the past few years. Why?? Shirts come and go and the badge is what sticks to a club. Look at Brighton - gone back their original badge.

Three words - PAINT SHOP PRO

So they go on sale that week. Surely pics of the kit will be revealed a few weeks before then.
