bigfella Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Aye that's a good one. Thought the makems were in the first division when they beat us in the league cup in 1979. Must have been promoted that year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minhosa Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Loved that we turned up, in their back yard, and bullied them throughout. Joelinton was obviously right up for it, Gordon in full shithouse mode, Tindall getting the photo done etc etc. Make no mistake, this was a proper head flushed down the bog, high school movie style bullying.

number37 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Until the 1970s, there was a rule in the FA Cup that if there was a clash of kits then both teams had to change. It's meant that Newcastle and Sunderland have borrowed kits from each other to fulfil games in the 1950s. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Wonder if Ally Mick Beale has been watching Wigan and Boro give big spending PL teams a right good game? You'd be sick as a pig the way his timid side surrendered without laying a glove and then seeing a League 1 team under transfer embargo and a fellow Championship side with 14 players out injured give it a right good go and competing.

The clubs used to wear away colours in the derbies when I was a kid.

France, Bulgaria, Finland and Sweden all had the exact same Adidas (Liverpool 91-93) kits in the same World Cup Qualifying group once. Southampton/Villa/Coventry's strips in the late 80s was the same strip when there'd have been some black and white TV's kicking around. Depending on the designs in our games I think quite a few people are at least initially taken aback by similarities. I'm for home shirts if we win. So there's no pretending it wasn't them at SJP and no pretending it was someone else at their place. Edited January 9 by Wolfcastle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember feeling sort of disappointed when we signed with adidas and the kits weren’t adidas-style kits. They were the grandfather-collar kits. I wasn’t a style guru when I was 12 … Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Must admit, given the apparent desperation to unnecessarily play in away kits these days, I was astonished we weren't in the awful green garb. I love us in the white shorts but it was undeniably the wrong choice from an accessibility point of view as KI says. I'm lost with how kit choices are made tbh; it just seems totally random with no loyalty to the kits themselves. Why didn't we wear Saturday's kit at Sheffield United, for instance? Why did we wear all white at Sheff Wed and all blue at Leeds last season? Why the white shorts at Chelsea? Why weren't any of our kits suitable for Brighton (a)? Why do we mix and match away socks? Makes it (even more) difficult to develop a real affection for these kits when there's no true version. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure how many people used to sing this version as amongst my "match lads" this was the version (fellas in their 60s and us - their sons) but a lot of mates from the flags group etc. Had never heard of it and it's actually a running joke that I had made up a song but since, others have heard others sing it.

Would rather wear an away kit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
