I see you are back to your contrary best today, what with this and the "Its just a T-shirt, FFS" side-swipe.

Why ? Her legs are closed. I didnt see the t-shirt at all the first time I looked at this

Not true that none of the marketing factors are relevant now. We could have gone the Polo/history route again with the quarters, though we are almost certainly contractually constrained about the sponsor logo and of course there is no anniversary. On the other hand, I would have liked our first season back in the PL to be marked with something a bit more significant and memorable than a retro 1980s Liverpool or Forest kit. Lets face it, NC played a masterstroke with the 125th kit

It was a noble, romantic idea, but political will just completely disregarded the practicalities.

. Have they ? I dont recall an offical statement from the club about this. If there had been, I am sure the fans would have understood.

Why was it handed over to the club anyway ? IMO, it wont be seen again. We can speculate as to the reasons for this.......

You forgot Sheffield Utd. As for costs, I would pay a bit more for a bespoke design. But then thats me. If the colours are so often used, mores the reason to do something original (or traditional) with them. We were a "sash" and "quarters" team long before we were a "stripes" team...

Apparently they've moved the embroidered "96". Blasphemy...

WTF is Qatar going to do with 8 stadia ? Really, that selection was plain f**king mental.

Why MUST we follow Umbro's standard templates anyway ?

Left wing rhetoric must involve the US somehow, because they are the root of all evil on the planet. Any slaughter or local civilian populations anywhere on the planet, it always is ultimately the US's fault. You should know that by now...

Thats a bit rich, considering you dont know her in the slightest. At least you base you judgement on my based on what you perceive to be empirical data.

Spot on. This sub news has already exposed the lie about "peaceful purposes" spun to the IAEA for the last few years. Seems a bit ridiculous to now expect the West to accept they dont want nukes purely on their word.

How many times have Israel used those nukes ? There is an Iranian woman in my book club. She reckons Iran will use them within 5 years if they get them. I couldnt give a sh*t if the UK and US are supporting the Syrian freedom fighters. There are children being tortured and murdered by government troops there, flying around in Russian helecopters.

Did anybody sit down and calculate how many teams play in R & W stripes ? I want Saints to have a unique and ubiquitous kit, based on the club history.

Yes, I agree. Forgot myself and became involved for one post. Apologies. who f**king brought his name up ? It must have been Frank or SOGGY.

This line is just so disingenuous. Jesus. Its completely unfair to blame administration on Wilde alone. The wheels were in motion from when we were relegated from the PL following a couple of p*ss-poor management appointments. Wilde and co. took a gamble and tried to get us back up quickly. Yes, that version of the club died quicker, but it doesnt mean the club wasnt a terminal case under Lowe. He wasnt interested in the football, just balancing the books. He would have cost-cut us down to the conference whilst balancing the books... And anyway, if we hadnt gone into admin, we might not have been found by Cortese and Markus.

Yep, so f**king bored with the stripes myself, thats why the 125th kit was a breath of fresh air. Its a real pity that the powers-that-be wont turn to our own club history for inspiration like some of the posters on here have.

Defend themselves against whom ? Who is threatening them ? Seems to me they want to be the big bully in the region, threaten Israel, fund and equip terrrorism in less stable neighbours, etc. Pathetic anti-American b*ll*cks from you as per usual. Really, only f**king morons think a heavily-armed nuclear Iran is a good idea.........

Like Eire's ? F**k me, this kit unveilling fills me with more dread with each passing day.... Our players are going to end up looking like Pippi Longstocking...

Nope. I wouldnt want to give Platini the satisfaction.

Hot sticky scenes, you know what I mean Like a desert sun that burns my skin I've been waiting for her for so long Open the sky and let her come down Here comes the rain Here comes the rain Here she comes again Here comes the rain Hot sticky scenes, you know what I mean Like a desert sun that burns my skin I've been waiting for her for so long Open the sky and let her come down Here comes the rain Here comes the rain Here she comes again Here comes the rain I love the rain I love the rain Here she comes again Here comes the rain Oh, rain Rain Rain Oh, here comes the rain I love the rain Well, I love the rain Here she comes again I love the rain Rain Rain

I am intensely uncomfortable with the militarisation being undertaken by Iran and China. I dont know what can be done about China, but Iran needs taking down a peg or two. Picture this - every Chinese foreign stoodent studying at Cambridge, Oxford, CalTech, Princeton, Harvard and MIT is probably a Chinese government agent of some form or other. We are handing the planet to them on a silver platter...

Well, seeing as the new Argentinian ambassador to the UK has already in recent times gone on record saying that the UN Declaration of Self-Determination doesnt apply to the Falkland Islanders because they are not indigenous, I would be very surprised if the tone of the rhetoric from Buenos Aries changes in the slightest. It may however have an impact on the public support of Argentinas cause from some of its more moderate neighbours such as Brazil and Uruguay. I wonder how the Argies square the "indigenous peoples" argument with the fact that the Spanish/Italian descendants stole Patagonia from the natives???

Who ?
