who told chelsea that day-glow yellow was a goo colour for uniforms? it's not 1988 anymore.

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

Its a horrible kit. Its sad that these days all the kits are the same just different colours. All Umbro and Addidas kits look the same. The Chelsea kit and the Liverpool kit are very alike.

[kendra k]

because they're both adidas. since when did umbro start making every other kit in the league? everton, blackburn, west ham, i know there's more.

[Mafro]

Is Derby's strip made by Adidas? That seems a bit strange. Same with Fulham's being made by Nike, although it is a bloody nice looking shirt for some reason.

Also, Everton v Man Utd in a few weeks. Gaspode, I bet you a tenner that.....

pjordan, all this support for Colchester from a Gooner is a tad unexpected - or are you playing the Perry Groves Solidarity card here?!

I'm actually from essex so as much as i was brought up to support arsenal, i still keep an eye on the more local teams from Colchester through to East Thurrock United (top of the league....Ryman Premier!!)

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

The New Zealand kit is ace.

Mafro - I bet you your own tenner that at least one man is sent off.

[Yudster]

Bloody Burnley.

[Mafro]

The New Zealand kit is ace.

Mafro - I bet you your own tenner that at least one man is sent off.

Scholes is always a good bet, with one of his "tackles".

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

Neville would be the same on our side. But I am going to go for.... Vidic.

[Yudster]

Rio Ferdinand has been getting close too.

[Mafro]

Well done to Scotland etc.

Proper football returns this weekend. Rooney and Ronaldo are back for United, Rooney will probably be on the bench though.

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

Our reserves are Scotland's best players.

[Mafro]

If that were true, it would almost be as patronising as the English media was the day after the match.

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

It is true and its not patronising its a fact.

[Mafro]

About as factual as Ian Wright's punditry.

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

David Weir - Couldn't get in the Everton team.
Gary Naysmith - Couldn't get in the Everton team.
James McFadden - Can't get in the Everton team.
Darren Fletcher - Can't get in the Man United team.
Gary O'Connor - struggles to get in the Birmingham team.

[Mafro]

I'd have to say that Craig Gordon is the best, and the best British goalkeeper.

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

I would agree with that. I think hes terrific even when he was at Hearts. I think Wenger should have signed him when he had the chance.

[Mafro]

Absolutely. He'd walk into any team in the Premiership bar Chelsea and possibly Liverpool (Rafa loves his Spaniards). Didn't L'Arse sign that Lukas Fabianski or whatever he is called? I thought he would be given a chance due to Lehman's blundertastic start to the season.

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

Almunia looks to be in for a while. Reina looked a bit dodgy at first (the Goodison Derby last year... haha) but annoyingly he seems ok now.

Also a woman I work with saw him on a plane and apparantly hes "beautiful".

[Quincy]

he is very handsome

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

He looks like a reject from Coneheads.

[Mafro]

I was close with my prediction of Scholes being sent off.

[Quincy]

obviously you were there to see the action?

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

I met Stan Collymore today. He was looking very cool in his sunglasses and asking where the media bit was.

The game was close with few chances and United took theirs. A draw would have been fair but life isn't fair.
