Kid Icarus Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 (edited) "He is human!" We've been watching Messi and Ronaldo for the last 15 years, have watched the likes of Xavi and Iniesta misplace about one pass a decade and commentators have taken to saying this about footballers playing at the levels we're used to. Mo Salah and Kevin de Bruyne misplacing passes and missing the target isn't that surprising. Edited December 28, 2021 by kisearch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGuv Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 (edited) Players wearing long sleeve underarmour with short sleeve playing shirts. It looks shit. And if it is that cold, put a long sleeve shirt over the top of it. Come to think of it, do long sleeve shirts even exist anymore?

Even the keeper top is short sleeve only. Doesn't sit right with me. Still think a keeper top should have built in elbow pads. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leaving aside the ideal that a club are their fans, that would make you a big fan of Sullivan and Gold? Or teams getting free stadia? To be fair, I’m supposed to hate them.

Look at those Puma 3rd kit abominations to see where they're all going with it. Edited December 29, 2021 by kisearch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know much about Sullivan and Gold other than that. When I think of West Ham though, I think of a half decent youth set up, fairly attacking football and a passionate fan base. I just think their fans fancy themselves as football hooligans the most out of the Premier League clubs and generally sing shit songs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 Goalkeepers were truly the drummers of football like. Proper endearing weirdos that are looked down on. Campos, Globbelar, Higgueta, John Burridge sleeping with his ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unpopular opinion but based on numbers West Ham are the best London club outside of Arsenal. In my befuddled 92r mind they always brought a decent and loud contingent. Never minded them either aside from pink shirt mush and general Essex crack. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

See it's funny, I probably like Arsenal, Fulham and Palace the most from the London clubs but their fans (Arsenal and Fulham's) are the polar opposite of West Ham, nee bite and utter shite Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They look at most 1% ok if it's a plan strip like Tottenham perhaps but for a striped strip like ours, nah. Ordinarily, long sleeve shirts don't exist any more, which is a crime but when Ronaldo signed for Man Utd this summer, by sheer coincidence Adidas introduced a long sleeved shirt for him, which is now worn by a few of his team mates. Player issue only though, as far as I'm aware - not that I hunt down Man Utd shirts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
