  1. Let's not forget that the disgusting Neymar tried to rearrange Modric's face in the first game. Thankfully, Modric didn't feel the full force otherwise he would need cosmetic surgery.
  2. Jan Aage Fjortoft ‏@JanAageFjortoft 1m Luuk de Jong leaving Gladbach. Now at PSV Eindhoven. They bought him for 12 mill Euro a couple of years ago. Selling him for 5,5 (Bild)
  3. Nike are losing Juventus to Adidas next year. Very weird, the only elite clubs they have now are Barca and Inter. And I suppose Man City are getting to that level.
  4. That Frankfurt kit is beautiful. Even more so, when compared to the monstrosity that Adidas have released for Milan.

  6. Captain Muller's done a terrific job for me along with Robben and Hummels.
  7. http://www.scotsman.com/sport/football/latest/hearts-sever-ties-with-payday-loan-firm-wonga-1-3443712 HEARTS have severed all ties with sponsor Wonga in a bid to distance itself from the controversial payday loans company. The club’s corporate team is understood to be hunting new sponsors for next year - two months after unveiling a new home kit featuring a blank maroon strip in tribute to members of the 1914 Hearts team who lost their lives in the First World War 100 years ago. Wonga said it had agreed to break the partnership with Hearts following talks with the club - despite having years left to run on its contract. It is understood that the perimeter boards advertising Wonga’s name will be removed from Tynecastle ahead of the first game of the season, while the new away kit, which was unveiled earlier this week, was also revealed to be sponsor-free - sporting a Foundation of Hearts crest in place of a sponsorship logo as a ‘thank you’ to fans for helping keep the club alive. Hearts, which is under new ownership in the form of majority shareholder Ann Budge, officially came out of administration on Wednesday. “It sends the signal out that things are moving forward and that things have changed,” said a source close to the club. “Given that the club has just come out of administration and wants to grow its fan base and get the team back to where it wants to be in terms of football, they would prefer a more acceptable shirt sponsor.” Ian Murray, chairman of Foundation of Hearts and Labour MP for Edinburgh South, said the new kit represented Hearts’s return to a respected family club. He said: “The club needs to lead by example and our shirt sponsors should reflect the aspiration to be the best family club in Scotland. Our supporters, who will ultimately own the club, deserve nothing less.” It is believed that Wonga had already drawn up a draft deal for the away strip - before being asked to break the sponsorship agreement it has held with Hearts for the past four years. Wonga, the market leader in the controversial payday lending sector, said it had agreed to walk away from the contract at the end of the season when the decision to remove all logos from the strip offered a “natural point” for the partnership to end. The firm has come under fire from both politicians and consumer groups over the high interest loans it offers to cash-strapped customers, with its sponsorship of Hearts sparking complaints from parents who told football club officials that they did not like their children wearing the logo of a payday loan company on a football shirt. Unveiling the home strip in April, Hearts insisted that the blank shirts were a “mark of respect to the team which went to war”, echoing the plain tops which would have been worn at the time by the team who joined McCrae’s Battalion following the outbreak of the Great War - and claimed that Wonga was “fully in tune with our views”. A spokesman for Wonga insisted it would not rule out forging a new partnership with Hearts in future years, pointing to its support of the club when it was struggling under financial pressures. “The club was clear that it wanted to have no sponsor on the shirt for the season,” said a spokesman for Wonga. “That provided a natural break for our sponsorship. We have an open mind about future sponsorship opportunities and working together, but this seemed like a natural point for us to stand aside. “We had rights to extend the deal, but the club was very keen to take the sponsor off the home shirts, so we agreed to end it.” He added: “We are aware that some people have strong opinions [about Wonga] but we are proud of our years with the club. We have always been very supportive of the club and advanced them some of our sponsorship money during the administration period.”

  9. How you managed 5 Algerians? Thought there was a limit of 3 players from 1 team. All I know is I picked my first 11 and Krul then clicked the auto button. You'll have to ask Fifa about my other subs.
  10. That isn't stripes, it's a big M. It's basically an unbelievably slim Brandenburg Gate.
  11. Related to Louise Taylor from the Guardian, perhaps? I mean, she did name di Canio as her Manager of the Season in her column last year.
  12. How hard is it to do normal stripes? Nike manage to give Inter beautiful kits year in year out without messing up the stripes.
  13. Second-hand ones presumably? Depends. This one was new. However, there are others which are second hand but supposedly in very good condition.
  14. Wtf with those prices are they stitched with gold thread I bought mine from their eBay account. It was £19.99 (+£3.75 pp). Reasonable considering the score draw retro shirts cost £30. Very happy with this: http://oi58.tinypic.com/wiwoy.jpg http://oi57.tinypic.com/mmsh0z.jpg

  16. Check out http://www.vintagefootballshirts.com/teams/newcastle/119 I just ordered the 97-99 shirt a few days ago. I'll post a few pictures on here once I receive it.
