whereas a load of you seem to have this fatalisitc penchant for accepting whatever the club dishes out. Jesus, a load of you on here came up with better kits than that, even following Umbro's standard templates. Did Umbro find a few hundred rolls of moth-eaten Liverpool mid-80s fabric lying around in a sweat shop somewhere ?

Look at this sh*te from 1982-1985, then look at what we wore in the same period. http://www.historicalkits.co.uk/Liverpool/Liverpool.htm http://www.historicalkits.co.uk/Southampton/Southampton.htm

There is no way that kit will generate more attention than an update of the sash would have.

This. F**king peasants.

I'll be a fanny as much as I want; one of our greatest seasons ever coming up and we're going to be dressed like rejects from a Harry Enfield sketch. Are Umbro supplying curly wigs, 'taches and jemmys to break into cars and house windows ?

Is there any interesting historical anecdote about the fact we couldnt even get a square piece of land to build it, meaning the Milton Road end was forever doomed to be p*ssed ???

If we really have got this abortion of a kit the question is : WHY ??? Were Umbro not arsed because NC has told them we are going elsewhere from next season ? Did our sponsor give us sh*t because their logo hasnt been prominent enough ? Sorry, I expected something a bit more unique, ubiquitos, historical/traditional for our first f**king year back in the Premierhship, FFS. Not a retro kit from the Scousers. Ridiculous. I am getting quite upset about this. That shirt is truly sh*te.

Hideous.

bit slow, arent you ?

Would have thought hes having more fun with another starfish, to be honest... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2163052/The-Saturdays-Frankie-Sandford-flaunts-bikini-body-holiday-Wayne-Bridge.html

I hope Mr. Daily Star is up for the Pulitzer prize after that remarkable piece of prose.

He could have brought a pre-injury Killer or Ivan Golac back with him in that case.

I could just about stomach this one : The pin-stripe versions are f**king sh*t. One makes us look like Arsenal, the others like Liverpool or Forest 80s throwbacks.

Well, I suppose it depends on your choice of metaphor, I suppose. "Headless chicken" seemed a reasonable fit to me. From what I've seen, its not just a case of him not being off the pulse of the game, sometimes he seems genuinely chaotic. However, its been a while since I saw him close-up, maybe that's improved over the last season.

couldnt understand this question when I was younger, both were equally important. Thanks to the "Golden" Generation, I couldnt give a monkey's arse about England any more. I am so totally "meh" this morning about our exit from Euro 2012.

This. If he has a couple of good PL seasons, where he drops his periodic relapses into headless chicken mode and learns to take a decnet corner, every chance he will be on the plane to Rio, if Hodgson isnt a complete dork that only looks in the North West and within the M25.

Can we switch to Nike or something next season, please ? Umbro design is cr*p and their tailoring is ghey.

Yeah, she's called cтарий удар. LOL. That was the translation in Ukrainian for Auld Slapper, but translate it back to English again and you get "Cottage kick"

Dont understand the Carroll-bashing. Yes, Toon ripped Liverpools arm off at the socket, but thats not his fault. And he gave good credit of himself in Ukraine when he played, imo. Better than sooooooopah-star Rooney, at least.

Its crap, the middle thin red stripe is w*nk.

Used to be the same with Liverpool players, until their club went pants. Luckily the message/brainwashing from El Demento hasnt reached Wellbeck yet.

That's just b*ll*cks, but the comment is unsurprising from you considering 99% of your posts are simply about nit-picking the comments and reasoning (which you appear incapable of) from others. Tippy tappy is a sub-set of retaining posession. Its about retaining posession with as many passes as you can, including going backwards about 50 times. Half the time it works because the opposing team nearly dozes off with boredom (let alone the effect it has on spectators). Its fussy and over-verbose. Italy play the possession game, but also attempt to penetrate a helluva lot more than the boring Spanish. You start playing the posession game with passing to the foot, and controlling it when it arrives to you (something our over-paid bunch of w*nkers should have learn before sprouting pubic hair) Juergen Klinsmann commented after the match last night that England not only look short of the skill to retain posession, but also the physicality to retain posession - they looked physically weak.

I took massive heart about our Premiership survivability from Englands performance last night. That was supposed to be the best the English game has to offer. In a straight-up game Saints would have beaten England. Of that I have no doubt whatsoever. Our defence should not be scared of Rooney, he's just plain f**king sh*t, and imo detracted from the teams performance. However, that nagging doubt about whether England players give their all on a nominal fee, and a club season looming to avoid getting injured for, remains. Maybe we will never see the real players in an England shirt. But if I were NA I would be saying to the team pre-match to remember these guys are NOT footballing gods, they were crap in Kiev, and we have earned the right with their battling, team ethic and talent to play at the same level as them.

1) I'm crap 2) I hope I dont let go 3) find something else to do with my spare time

To Kiev ? Jesus....
