Andy

Somebody pass me my telescope.

Considering the relations between fans and club, I think we're pushing our luck using black and white.

I'll be able to do something better when I get my laptop back. At the minute I'm using a PC with all the design functionality of a fucking toaster.

Excellent but too American for my liking, if you could somehow carry on with the same theme but make them less American it would be spot on. Thus far Andy's stands out a mile for me. Less American!? your constructive criticism is to make it less American!? Right, lets all open Photoshop and find the 'Less American' filter. sweet mother fucking jesus.

Yeah, I like that one. Nice and basic.

i'll take you back to the threat he carries pace wise (which he rarely uses and would be much more effective if he had decent positioning) is offset by his giving the ball away easy through poor control etc. Again though, my counter-argument to that is that a Martins who gives the ball away is still more effective than a Viduka who doesn't see the ball because we can't get it to him anywhere near where he needs it.

None, and that's why we need to keep that threat of pace until we can strengthen up in the center.

Agreed, again. I think the blue makes it look a bit more tacky.

his threat is often outweighed by his giving the ball away too easily and poor positioning meaning when we get the ball out it comes straight back. True, but Martins isn't exactly the only player guilty of giving the ball away too easily. We have players in far more volatile positions who give it away just as often if not more often. Players like Viduka only offer a threat when the ball is in the box, which first requires us to be dominating the midfield and actually getting the ball into the box first. As our midfielders aren't good enough to do that, more often than not, we have to rely on the threat of a ball in-behind (or over the top of) the defence instead - there's only Martins in our squad who can really capitalize on that. Opposing managers can blatantly see how limited we are when the game is squeezed, so as soon as that threat in-behind is removed, they literally push their defenders right up into the center of the pitch and laugh as our midfielders shit themselves at the first sign of pressure.

Martins may lack ability and finesse at times, but one thing he always offers is threat. His mere presence forces opposing defenders to sit deeper, which in turn takes some of the pressure off our midfield (who, let's face it, aren't exactly technically wonderful when their game is being squeezed). He'll never be a world class footballer, but as long as he has pace (power) he'll always be a danger, and frankly we are severely lacking in players who can be put in the same category.

Oh, look, Supermac is talking bollocks again.

I know, I'm just pissing around with fireworks really. I couldn't be arsed to do a new logo, and like I've already said, I'm not even sure that we really need one.

Century gothic is where it's at man. And it's basically the only font I have on this laptop SO YOU'RE FUCKING STUCK WITH IT.

I like it. I like it a lot. Fonts are a bit cack, though, particularly the second line. Fuck you.

I mean currently, out of the logo and the banner.

The banner is the shittest part IMO.

I know you're taking the piss, but I like the 'only see a portion of the chosen logo' concept. Cheeky twat, that was my serious attempt
