Happy birthday, King

Obviously win is a win is a win, and delighted with the first half then around. But shame we couldn't hold on better to help the goal difference.

Well well well

Well that's one of the strangest penalties I've ever seen...

Not sure how I feel about these penalties. But will take it if they fancy giving it to us.

Ashley Young... Renowned cheat gets done for a blatant flop, on what could have arguably been a foul anyway, from an on field decision that gets overturned through VAR but then he doesn't get booked for diving either... This sport is an utter mess.

Interesting incident just then. With the long stoppage. There's nothing in it worthy of punishment I didn't think, and the Birmingham lad is unlucky to be coming off because of it. But is that an example of an incident that evolves into a red card once it goes through the VAR and freeze frame bullshit malarkey?

Players who are genuinely hurt rarely roll around. It's usually a telling sign.

Well, that was good. Goals, players getting stuck in, no bullshit flopppig.

This guy is funny. One of those crazy dribblers where even he doesn't know what he's going to do next. Sometimes maybe Asprilla, sometimes maybe Shola.

Ok.... Wow.

That's the killer blow to the CL chances, isn't it ? 😞

What, four? Hadn't even realised. What a complete capitulation of our streak.

Needs to at the very least make the keeper work there, Big Joe Better stuff though. Come on.

That collar is 2006 tastic.

I was never one for long sleeves, but it is pretty ridiculous how much better this kit looks with the long sleeves. It minimises the bagginess. The state of it on that Ian Rush photo As mentioned before, it's not just looking back in hindsight that we can say it's too baggy. Even back then for the 90s it was too much.

I think it could be argued that he wasn't a "good" signing in the sense that we would have been better strengthening elsewhere in the team.

Well thanks for thinking of asking, man.

Cool. Feels like you've picked up homework here, but interesting In this instance specifically, indeed, I see no reason for a Brown Ale to get in the way as there is so little downside if any. Just wonder how and if they could given different circumstances.

What are the dynamics of logo use on these sorts of releases then? Specifically the Brown Ale one here. I imagine Adidas can't just use it and flog gear just because that's what the shirt looked like back then so fair game. What is the structure of a deal? Can a Brown Ale veto a production? What kind of kickback do they get? Anyone have any insider info on that sort of stuff? - Anyway, feedback on this is pretty disappointing... Quality, design, sizing, no kids sizes and for the price. I see no reason to replace my DHgate one with this one, so I'm pondering other questions.

Wouldn't be surprised if that joined up type of lettering was consistent with match worn kits. That they had them ready to go for matches and they're also slightly more legible.

What was the deal with "Adidas" logo inside the numbers? At first I thought that was a decent way to spot real/fake as it seems like in game it was never there, and for the replica kits... Well I haven't really looked into this thoroughly but seems just random. I have an original Shearer home one bought back in the day in 96 and the number nine doesn't have Adidas inside it for example.

Just because
