Kid Icarus

As expected, it's a white patch on the back, same as this season's

The prototype of the adidas originals tracksuit I've seen is nice. The training stuff, not so much

Yeah, though I'd say it's 99% accurate. What I saw didn't have any sponsors on and I couldn't properly see the adidas sleeve stripes, so I just guessed they're black.

...based on rumours and the adidas 26/27 gradient

I'll do a 'based on rumours' kit in EAFC Kit Creator at some point

The reaction will be absolutely justified this time like. It makes the barcode kit of the early '90s look plain by comparison. It's absolutely vile

Yes, this was it! Thank you. Although the image of it happening is very different in my mind. I can't shake it being Saudi Arabia at USA '94, very weird.

Is the Mandela Effect engaged here? I very specifically remember a team being told to leave the field and them refusing to play because a president or prince or something was so disgusted by the ref or the result. In my mind it was definitely a Middle Eastern country, possibly Saudi Arabia and it was at USA '94. When I google it, it's like it never happened. I'm nowhere near finding it.

His Champions League form until tonight has been very good. I expect that's what Howe sees in him.

We need two of him really. Also becoming apparent that all refs think being tall means the threshold for being fouled is higher.

If we'd got a pen and he'd missed it, he'd have still been halfway there.

No he didn't. Utter bollocks.

Not shite as in he knows how to play there, doesn't really put a foot wrong on the ball, tries hard to do what he's supposed to do, but is really badly suited to the position due to his lack of agility, pace, and attacking nous.

N-O's never beating the allegations. 6th in the Champions League table, comfortable 2 nil home win against Bilbao despite us being a work in progress, out of form, with key injuries, and half the team ill. Not good enough for me - Alec Baldwin in Glengarry Glen Ross. I don't accept excuses

Yeah, Hall is a left back, Burn isn't, which is why he is and plays like our 3rd choice left back. Not gonna dig him out on that basis, I wouldn't expect our 3rd choice left back to be Maldini.

Comfortably win, complacent because there was literally no threat whatsoever from 2-0 on, so I don't put too much stock in us easing off a bit. Pope: 7 Trippier: 7 Thiaw: 8 Botman: 7 Burn: 8 Tonali: 7.5 Bruno: 7 Joelinton: 7 Barnes: 7 Woltemade: 6.5 Gordon: 5

He's not even shite at fullback, it's just that isn't one. He nigh on always plays well as someone who's incredibly ill suited to the position, if that makes sense.

We would ...and they'd call it a horrendous way to treat an ex player, just like they're did with Isak.

Messi and Brazilian Ronaldo, they're the only two I'd definitely have ahead and my third would possibly be Suarez. After that I think the shootout is really competitive and could be anyone amongst Iniesta, Suarez, Maldini, Pirlo, Zidane, C.Ronaldo, Xavi, Neymar, Ronaldinho and more. Again think it's just what type of player you like.

Was just thinking about this before when the overrated players thread came up. Fantastic player, one of the best forwards of all time, but also probably the most overrated player of all time because despite us having the benefit of them playing at the same time and being able to see the vast difference in quality between them, the whole Messi Ronaldo thing was still seen as a genuine debate despite him clearly not being on the same planet as Messi.

Greggs! Hahahahahaha

Think he probably achieved quite a lot commercially tbh, but definitely at our expense as fans.

Surely it's better to include Hall so that he can use the pre-match, half time, and warm down sessions as training. We really will complain about absolutely anything like.

Howe was streaky at Bournemouth and has been here, not sure about sustainability, but I think all signs point towards it being a feature not a bug.

The nerve of this being your third post on a 20 year old forum No one knows who you are, no one has any reason to engage with you or read what you've blogged about, particularly when it seems that what you mean by 'engagement' is actually just self-promotion.
