I'm not a huge kit fetishist but thanks for the link, an interesting 5 minutes if you have the time to peruse all 20 home and away shirts. Not much bothered either way but ours doesn't look any better when stacked against all the other offerings, in fact considering it's a 'new' offering from an established and usually decent manufacturer I'd say somebody, somewhere has dropped a huge bollock, it's shocking.

Let me stop you right there ...... ££££Sterling is today's correct answer. happy memories (above) of his screamer away at Stoke in the LC, but popular (mongboard) wisdom has it that he only scored at home. does anybody have a breakdown of where in terms of H/A his goals occurred?

Is that the new Everton away kit? (not read the top of the thread yet).

Can I just be the first to say that if we are going to spend £12m on Joe Allen we might as well have kept Jack Cork (..............yes, I know he didn't want to say/we didn't want to give him a better deal/behind MS and VW for starts etc etc). JA is definitely not an upgrade on our current options, more of an addition; he would be an (expensive) squad-filler but he would be an ideal DAJFU-budgeting-for-11th type of a purchase. We could probably get better value abroad but the bottom line is we are already well-stocked in what he offers, we need a decent destroyer and a decent creator, we already have plenty of water carriers. A big 'NO' from me.

[h=1]Live M&G and Aviva suspend property fund redemptions as Brexit fears mount – business live[/h] Pound plunges to new 31-year low as property funds refuse to let investors withdraw money after a rush of post-Brexit redemption requests Read more M&G, the fund management arm of insurer Prudential, suspended its £4.4bn fund this afternoon, citing an increase in redemptions since the referendum. The move came hours after Aviva Investors blamed “extraordinary market circumstances” for its decision to halt withdrawals by investors in a £1.8bn fund, which suffered a surge in requests by backers to redeem their investments because of fears of a property crash after Britain voted to leave the EU. Their decisions came 24 hours after Standard Life blocked investors from taking cash out of its £2.9bn commercial property fund. The suspensions came on another day of drama on the financial markets, 11 days after the vote to leave the EU wrong-footed markets and sparked political turmoil. Among developments: • The pound plunged to a new 31-year low against the dollar, falling 1.8 cents to $1.3090. • A closely watched survey of the services sector, showed a worse-than-expected reading of 52.3 in June, down from 53.5 in May. A reading above 50 indicates growth. • The Bank of England warned that the economic risks caused by the referendum had “begun to crystallise” as it eased regulations on banks to allow them to release up to £150bn of loans to households and businesses. • Chancellor George Osborne held a summit with the heads of the major lenders who pledged to avoid a new credit crisis by making loans available. A spokesman for Aviva Investors said: “The extraordinary market circumstances, which are impacting the wider industry, have resulted in a lack of immediate liquidity in the Aviva Investors Property Trust. Consequently, we have acted to safeguard the interests of all our investors by suspending dealing in the fund with immediate effect.” Aviva said the suspension would give the fund time to sell assets to remain liquid and meet obligations to investors seeking to redeem their holdings. >> From this afternoon's Guardian, #it's happening, #we got our country back.

If Pellegrini has turned £300m into Joe Hart and Raheem Sterling and if the Southampton way has produced/nurtured/improved Clyne/Shaw/Bertrand/Lallana/Forster and possibly JWP too, all on about a quarter of their budget, then I'm very happy that we have appointed a hands-on track-suited manager and player-improver, rather than an expensive trophy-wife type of a manager.

Whatever gets you through the night. In my day we did with Suzi Quatro, Penelope Keith and Anthea from the Generation Game.

Good luck with squaring that circle! There may well be no second referendum, there may well be no re-entry, but if we have those two conditions then it's a given that we have an austerity budget however you wrap it up.

Big ask. New man will do very well if we get either a top 8 finish in the league OR into the last 16 in the Europa (and then finishing comfortably outside relegation 12th-14th). Not sure we can get a top 10 and a EL run from where we are starting from (unless we are appointing Klopp:o).

Looks like all you need now is someone with the balls to actually implement article 50, Cameron's resignation is a bit of a curve ball no? The EU want us out (tomorrow), we are rudderless for 3 or 4 months, and it turns out Boris doesn't really believe in anything beyond Boris; who knew it? Leavers won't be getting £350m a week extra spent on the NHS nor will they be getting reduced immigration but whisper that one quietly (Mash will be gutted), but if we're really lucky we can pay a membership fee, 'that will be £350m a week Sir', and align ourselves with Norway to get back to where we pretty much started from. Genius.

Is this like I'll swap U my AS for UR KD and DS? Redmond is a decent signing, sort of the next Jason Puncheon, plenty of talent, he just needs to be in the right place at the right time and I reckon he will flourish here. He might have to wait for his chances but I can see him being a starter for us once he has found his feet.

Yeah, but we got rid of CMD and Gidiot didn't we, we'll be able to tell our grandchildren about the day that we really socked it to the man.

Remain hammered in Basildon, not altogether surprising but the margins are ridiculous.

Scottish turnout is lower than RUK. Floods and train chaos in London. Brexit will win, they better have something special up their sleeve.

Transfer window is open. Did you see 'arry leaning out of a Range Rover?

Is that ****ter or is it all your own work? Chapeau to whoever came up with it.

That's a Pompey ST holder for you right there .....

This is going tits rapidly, hopefully Brexit have a plan, winning the war looks like it was the easy bit, hopefully they have some solid plans to win the peace too?

25m plus Ibe, sounds a lot better than plain old 25m. I rate Ibe, reckon HCDAJFU.

I didn't see much clamour for Andy Carroll before the squad was picked, might as well say we should have taken Dave Beasant in goal to kick it long to him. 2 goals scored in what is one of the easiest groups in the tournament is pretty damning but it's a bit depressing that our only answer seems to be to throw on the big man for the last 10 minutes. I do wonder if we should be playing 3 at the back and in the absence of any decent wide players utilising our strength with the attacking FB options we have. Dier holding, get the Alli/Kane combo firing down the middle which leaves two slots for Rooney/Lallana/Wheelchair (memo to Roy, you can't play 'everybody'). I wouldn't start any pairing of Kane/Sturridge/Vardy, they don't play in a 2 for their clubs, they don't know how to play in a 2 and they mainly look like fish out of water when shunted out onto the wings, or they come into the middle and crowd each other out. We has so many players around the top of their box in the last 20 minutes they were acting more like defenders than attackers - cutting down the space and the passing options for the man with the ball. Please no more Sterling or Henderson, poor selections and taking places that would have been better used by Drinkwater and Townsend. Hodgson's comments today just embarrassing, he might as well have stood on a chair and said we don't know what we're doing. But that's pretty obvious to anyone that has watched the games, this should all have been sorted months ago not scrambling around now for a Plan B. Maybe they should have taken horse face after all.

I'd rest Alli and give Wheelchair a go. Push Rooney into the 10 position which gives a pretty tasty front 4 and an extra goal scoring option. Hart Walker Cahill Smalling Bertrand Wheelchair Dier Lallana Rooney Sturridge Vardy

Time we had a bit of Clash back on the PA at St Mary's.
