£5 each. Good point. For some reason I was basing that number on 44 people turning up Forgetting we're not playing Ultras and this is just N-O v N-O

Aye, but you don't need an account to buy stuff, you can just put in your debit/credit card details through PayPal without having to register. This is wrong, sorry. The debit/credit card payments don't have to go through PayPal at all, they go straight to SpreadShirt - and paying with PayPal is an option as well. Nice and easy really. You'll save £4 using the voucher code available in the OP too if you order before December 15th (Monday)!

Free shipping at the minute too, which will be a good money saver.

Think people have already.

Far better than astroturf, it's what the first team here at Hull Uni plays on when the weather is bad. Far less bouncy than the sand-based astroturf and acts much more like grass, although it'll still burn you up if you slide on it. It's more expensive because it's a lot better, basically, you can wear any type of boot on it.

We're definitely not mate, I can promise you that. The commissions we're taking out of them are very small, more like 10% than 300%! but the base cost for the tee-shirt, then the cost for adding text/designs and then the shipping aren't at all helping us. £12.30 for the more basic tee-shirts isn't bad, considering the quality of them (very good) and how customised they are/can be. I think Dave is looking at adding a US (worldwide) store as we can't ship to Canada at the moment anyway, so maybe that will drive the prices down a bit?

3G would be belter. 2 hours, £2.50 each.

Butt started every single game under Keegan that he was available for (missed the Stoke 4-1 and the Bolton 0-0 through suspension). That was 20 games, he completed 18 of them and missed a total of 34 minutes out of 1800. KK rated him, I don't think he was "lying", and that's part of the reason for my U-turn on him. He's an important part of the team/squad. Edit: Which for some could just be a sign of how far we've fallen.

We've got 7 strikers kicking around the first team squad at the moment but only one fullback on each side. It's not numbers we're short on, it's balance.

We can afford to let one of Smith or Ameobi go, surely? Even both if Owen's staying until the end of the season as there's still Viduka, Martins, Owen and Xisco then. Not to mention Carroll if we get desperate. I'll refrain from mentioning you know who. Up front is one position that we're over-stocked in, when we're crying out for fullbacks (cover there at least). We could probably do with another midfielder (central) as well, although I'd be extremely surprised to see us bring one in who'd be good enough to be a first-teamer for a few years to come.

Where's Jon to tell us how injury prone Upson is!? He's missed 73 minutes of football all season and has played 90 minutes for Engerland as well. Cue a horrendous injury at the weekend for him, then. Quality defender, would hope that there would be some truth to this and I'd like to see him here. Experienced and English, something we've been crying out for a long time now. Him, Coloccini, Taylor and Bassong would be a quality pool of central defenders, quite possibly the best we've had since Keegan's first stint. Still a couple of fullbacks short at the back, mind!

If that were the case I'd make sure SJP was the most prominent feature, for obvious reasons. Definitely. Could be interesting to have the Angel with a Shearer shirt on!

So he's not a good player anymore then? I thought most were basing the fact on not wanting him back on his injury record and/or the way he left the club, which is fair enough! Fairly harsh with the "idiots" comment as well.

Pretty sure it lasted for a good couple of minutes or so there for me, might have just been a case of my cache playing catch-up or something. You dudes do ask that we report everything and anything, to be fair... Calm down dear. I thought the two "!!" and the would be safety enough man!

Couple of minutes! It was 30 seconds!! Just me messing on again, it'll stop now. I'm a bad lad.

The Nike one we use was only £15 and it's just the replica of the current PL ball, but there's been no complaints so far. Whenever we've lost it over the 3G fence or whatever mid-game for a spell all the other balls we've used (Mitre, Umbro, other Nikes) haven't come close to it and plenty people have said so, asking for the original to be brought back on (not just me either!)

I think it's probably a good idea to get as many balls there as possible. I've got a nifty new Nike one that we've been using for our 11-a-side league matches and which has been fine. I'll bring that. Can't hurt to have a few though. I'll bring 'keeper gloves as well and a ball pump, seeing how I've got them in my kitbag anyway.

Good. Well, apart from Shola...

Bassong is doubtful now, as well:

In fairness to Fat Mike, I'm thankful he didn't put us through any of this shite before he bought the club and he appeared to just do the fucking deal without leading anybody on. All of these media leaks and stories are a load of old bollocks and aren't done in the interests of the support at all, more for personal gains. As suspicious as people have grown of him since things went sour, I still struggle to believe that he didn't have the best of intentions when he took over the place and his undoing was closely linked to my opening sentence. He was undone by the mess the club was in (edit) and his lack of knowledge/backing in this area, general naivety basically.

Cryptic.

That's good but you should whack SJP right on the edge and squash some other bits in there. I like the concept though. this one is great. bit like the blue star logo you could throw in an outline of the cathedral and castle or even the angel or the north or somehting like that. Brilliant suggestion and what I was just talking to Dave about yesterday. Rather than a completely accurate skyline of the river you could chuck in Grey's monument, the Angel of the North, SJP, the Baltic, etc! Just the main icons of the region, basically.

Re: Hangeland - I do think he's looked a very good defender when I've seen him play, particularly in the air due to his size.

Oh dear.
