ASM is on the Puma Instagram stories wearing it. The material looks minging, like.

They did a few years back for some clubs. Man Utd being one of them http://www.footballshirtculture.com/images/2017/manchester_united_fc_adidas_originals_90s_away_jersey_track_jacket.jpg Sure i've seen an image of an Adidas Originals NUFC jacket like that - not the pattern, but tracksuit top type jacket. Think it might have been from the first wave of Adidas stuff around 1995-97 ish. EDIT: Was on Twitter... EDIT 2: T-Shirt for sale, here... https://footballholics.com/shop/newcastle-united-fc/111-2009-10-newcastle-united-adidas-originals-heritage-t-shirt.html They're from 09/10. I remember there also being an Originals black and white shirt that was leaked on Prodirectsoccer but never saw the light of day. It was class.

That's rough.

Yeah, I'm a fan. Hopefully Ashley fucks off and it drops in price.

They're insanely priced. Do we still have (one of) the most expensive shirt in the PL? I seem to remember that being a thing.

Aye: https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/money/blog/2010/sep/21/football-kits-premier-league-cash-cow Gradually seems to have been ignored. Football clubs/sports brands being arseholes shocker.

Yep. Up until that point adidas had stuck to a new home shirt every 2 years. They didn't take up the option to extend the deal (because of Ashley, IIRC) which resulted in their final kit only being worn for a year.

It's better than the one on the previous page at least. It's just the 92/93 one with inferior branding.

I remember seeing that at the time but didn't get a chance to read it. Superb stuff all round: Caulkin's writing, Shearer's gesture(s), and Gordon's recovery.

Absolutely mind boggling this like. #becarefulwhatyouwishfor

I'm guessing it doesn't get any less inflammatory after the first few paragraphs of the preview? The bloke's sole purpose in life is to be a WUM.

I read The Athletic article that quote is from and I don't think Fernandez comes across well at all. Sounds like an entitled little arsehole.

PFM logic: Rafa = dull, can't quite believe that the fans put up with it for so long; Bruce = gives the fans what they want. How do they get away with this unbelievable guff, man?

Steve Bruce has given us what we wanted apparently. Good to know, Graeme.

What were Dyer and Souness saying? I've had it on in the background but zoned out long ago. I've only seen the quotes as I don't bother with pre-match but Dyer was giving it the usual about Rafa and Bruce. Also claimed it was one of our best ever points totals despite him being at the club for many years where we beat it comfortably. They're bashing out the "demanding fans" trope as we speak.

What were Dyer and Souness saying? I've had it on in the background but zoned out long ago.

Think I'll probably stream the game tomorrow. Hopefully they get through!

For fuck's sake.

:lol: Sounds familiar...

Hideous stuff from Schar.

Aye.

Listened to the podcast this afternoon, really good stuff.

Get the normal badge on the home one with the retro Nike logo and then you're talking. I quite like that last one, actually.
