Because they went with a real kit designer.

There's a lot of attention being paid to this transfer considering it's not even a Newcastle one.

Anyone think Pablo Barrera looked good when he came on for West Ham? Obviously he's in a totally shit team but I thought he had a nice spark, could be good cover for the left wing.

I do remember Enrique getting a load of schtick on here when he first came over to be honest. I think we do give our players a hard time but the more I see other team's boards it's the same as our players get here. Immediate knee-jerks after the match, a few hours/days later everyone levels off and talks a lot of sense and then it's back to the same cycle all over again depending on match-day.

positives: smith out. one point closer to survival. bragging rights for another eight months or so.

Gotta give most of the dudes in that thread credit, they don't like it one bit.

Bridge looks like he wants to cry.

Based on what? Because he inherited a good Chelsea team, and then took Pompey down, just like he's doing to West Ham now. That's a good manager.

Arsenal could have more than one goal, easily, if they didn't try to pass the ball in.

I can't believe Wayne Bridge was this desperate to play first-team football.

That tackle was worse than Tiote's

Good goal that

Is she the one who seemingly decides when the game will start and leads them all out? Just did it there, right in front of the West Ham players going on about how their manager is about to get sacked. Wish I could see this girl, I've never even noticed her in the background on US tv. She's on the early ESPN2 broadcasts usually, when they are showing the players in the tunnel and stuff.

He can't exactly come out on Twitter and be like "can't wait until I'm a Newcastle player!" now can he? Turned down? Hardly.

There was a fleeting moment when Kaizero was writing that out that he thought about Alan Pardew's cock and how big it may or may not be.

I know we have our fair share of mongs on here but this is easily the least mong-tastic football board I read, it's a breath of fresh air compared to a lot of the shit I see out there.

Word on the street is that Don Garber is trying to create a "Rivalry Week" for next season where there are three round-robin style matches in the span of one week between three rivals (Portland, Seattle, Vancouver in this case). I think it's facepalm worthy. Could you imagine getting all of your derbies out of the way in one week? Totally dumb idea.

Harper Simpson Williamson Coloccini Enrique Barton Rouledge Nolan Jonas Shola Best/Loven It's gotta be that for me to at least start with.

If he chooses to play for them for a while then we'll be missing him for the ACN as well.

This is what I would like to see as well.

Can I request a title change so I don't have to start a new 2011 MLS thread to blabbering on in?

That's $200 for the really high end boots. I'm sure it's the same in the UK where you can buy different levels of the same kind of boots. I usually only spend $40 or so on my boots but there are ones that look exactly alike that are in the $200 range because instead of synthetic leather they will have real kangaroo leather or something similar. It still is pretty much a niche market here though, although a lot of the bigger retailers (Dick's, Sports Authority) have growing sections for soccerfootball.

I'd take him for anything under 6m.

I have found scarves to be expensive, along with other gear as well, yes. I paid $35 (CAN) for an Impact scarf when I saw them one year in Montreal. When it comes to kits there are lots of different levels too that you can buy. The two main ones being Authentic (patches, better quality fabric, all of the extras) and just your basic kit which doesn't have the patches or any of the bells and whistles. Price difference is usually around $40 with the Authentic kit (no names/numbers) being $110 total.

Can't say i've ever seen him but i've heard his name quite a bit, he is supposed to be quite good isn't he? He always stood out when I saw the Rapids play, probably could make the step up to the EPL, at least as a squad player.
