Not close at all.

This is pretty close but from memory there are more stripes.

Like a McDonalds uniform

I don’t know, sorry.

Yes the stripes ignore the collar. And the badge looks clean to mean. Not sure what you mean on that one.

I know my opinion means largely nothing to anyone, but I’m looking at a picture right now of the authentic one and I think it looks mint 🤷‍♂️

Well I did say it’d be controversial 😁

I haven’t seen the standard version (only seen the authentic), but yeah, I reckon that’s legit. For what it’s worth, the authentic version is a chunk nicer to my eyes. The collar is different… the black ring at the bottom isn’t there… and the bubble texture gives it a more premium look. And it looks mint (to me) on the players.

Aye, you’re pretty much there 👍🏻

It’s incredibly subtle, and really lovely in person.

Close. The black stripe on the shoulder should extend down the arm. And the side panels have a mixture of black and white stripes on them that follow the body contour. And make the bubbles less obvious. They’re extremely subtle. Then it’s pretty much there.

Yep, that’s the bubble pattern I’m referring to. That’s on our home shirt (at least definitely on the authentic version). I guess there’s a small chance there’s a different pattern on the standard shirt.

I have photos, aye, but I can’t post them for obvious reasons.

Yeah, I’ve already commented on that one a few pages back. It’s closer, but that pattern on the stripes isn’t right, and the collar / shoulders are different (see post above).

There should be 3 black stripes on the front (the centre one is black), and 4 white stripes (basically invert them, and make them slightly wider). The circular pattern style thing is kinda along the right lines, but much more subtle in person. Collar and shoulders completely wrong…. - collar should be black with blue trim inside it. - the Adidas stripes on the shoulders are white on a black thicker stripe, with the rest of the shoulder area white.

There’s no tartan on our home shirt. There is, however, a subtle circular pattern in the stripes that starts quite tight at the bottom of the shirt and gets wider further up. Almost like subtle bubbles.

The way they’re going on, it would be absolutely class if Spurs somehow snook a 1-0.

That wouldn't seal it. It would knock Chelsea out of the running (depending on their result against Liverpool), but I think we're still going to need to get to 69 points to actually seal it. Think Villa are more than capable of bouncing back and winning their last 4 games.

Chelsea, providing we don’t lose to them, won’t finish top 5. Their fixtures are tough.

Because City’s fixtures are piss easy and they should comfortably walk into the top 5. Villa now have zero margin for error. The max points they can achieve is 69. It means that, chances are, 3 wins will definitely be enough for us.

Can't stress enough how important it is that City beat Villa tonight, like. A City win means that Villa basically CAN'T drop any more points in the last 4 games (the max they could hit would be 69). Chances are, they will drop a couple somewhere along the line (away at Bournemouth or Man Utd maybe?), meaning we can feasibly win 2, draw 2, lose 1, and that should be enough (even better if one of those wins or draws is against Chelsea). But if Villa win tonight, they have multiple routes to Top 5, and we're going to have to win 3 and draw one at a minimum. A draw wouldn't be the end of the world, but a City win would be huge for us.

Hoping we hear some news on Eddie today.

Nope. A Villa win would be worst case scenario. We need Spurs (lol) and City to do us a favour this week.

Every time I do the predictor, City are comfortably in the Top5. It’s always Villa who miss out.

3 home wins will absolutely guarantee it, no doubt in my head, but it’ll be a nervy last day. Would much prefer to go all out to get it done in the next 3.
