Large I'd say, based on general adidas having not seen this in flesh.

only ever wore it 5 times, Sheff Wed, Bolton, Spurs, So'ton and Stoke I think, wasn't worn into second half of season. So no you're quite correct.

We are knocking on the door. When we blew the league I just thought we will win it next season, to be fair I was only 13. When I went to Wembley in 98 I wasn’t all that gutted as first time at a final, thought the chances would come round again quickly and it did, was more gutted year after due to opposition and probably worse performance. By the time of the Chelsea and Man U semis I was already soured, and 23 was also hideous. But if I look objectively we surely are going to win one soon and I’d wager being there for that would eclipse something bigger down the road.

Winning in a second season would be considered a bare minimum at Celtic to be fair, not sure about the other clubs positions in food chain but when i lived in oz Melbourne victory were one of the ‘bigger’ sides although it seemed a lot more random then. Just checked and second semi for spurs is day after ours so it will be interesting waiting to see who we’ve got, provided we don’t blow a two goal away lead which I believe nobody has done in over 35 years.

An odious entitled fan base, bruv.

I’m wondering for trains when all the non tickets travellers booked last time, surely that was when it was confirmed and that will just bump everything, providing people do the same again.

This is a tricky one to tell original from fakes on, the a on the brown ale is the biggest tell normally.

Not an official one as per the original though?

true but Arsenal won nothing in Europe. I've always been of the opinion that English teams doing better only helps them really and makes it harder for us to catch them, the recent extra CL place could potentially swing it a bit. Even then I could never cheer for Man United or Liverpool, probably Chelsea too.

yeah and France have won the lot with no european trophies since a dodgy one in 93, thus disproving that theory.

Must have passed me by

It’s weird Pickford has never been strongly linked with say Man U or spurs. Maybe a relegation would force his hand but seems happy enough to plod along at Everton, then look good every two years in an international tournament. I’d take him for the fume alone.

Genuinely can’t understand why any Newcastle fan would be gutted at a man united loss

They are snides but but great shirts, I've got the original for the pink and its more muted, only ever worn against us of course, bizarrely in Cesena I think!

I always thought the sponsor was an iron as a kid, only in later years did I realise it was a media company.

I left mine blank as had been burned from Cole on the ASICS one.

The Man United lace up was fairly iconic, first premier league title in it and big collar for Cantona, the last Arsenal one at Highbury was fairly iconic, as was the flecked Candy Liverpool top.

I've already got one in decent nick, would have been tempted if they brought a long sleeved one out. It leaves the door open for other releases in future though with the brown ale on, the training stuff from 95-95 goes for crazy money so would be daft not to reissue that.

Just that one as far as I know. May have a grainy copy of the 2-1 O’Brien win at roker somewhere but think that’s more widely available.

Our last Wembley win was against Liverpool, mercantile cup 88/89? Penalties after 0-0 draw in 45 min game, then lost 4-0 to lower league tranmere, the forgotten Wembley trip and only one over not done in my time on the planet (not counting the spurs league game).

They have two fairly easy looking games in the two midweeks before the second leg, home to finals Zagreb then away to girona, where they could maybe rest players.

Immediately thought this too, suppose its a slight bit of complacency, we hadn't been to a semi since 1976, this was third 1/4 final in a row in the league cup. I think it was more open two years ago too, people seen Liverpool and Arsenal were winning around me and that sort of put a dampener on things, although it shouldn't have really as was to be expected.

I watched the old oak at the weekend, was decent, anyway i noticed this in the goofs section of imdb, the pettiness amused me no end

Just realised .com not doing an advent calendar this year

I’m sure it was wet that day too. Had 10k lock outs in that opening 11 game winning run, apparently. My first season ticket season, £83 in the east stand paddocks for kids.
