Irish TV going on as though arsenal are so unlucky and been robbed against the run of play? First ten minutes ok but after that they've had about three two on ones and hit the post as they're picking off an arsenal who have to attack.

Me too with the old version of the score draw tag when they must've been starting out. That's where I got mine, about £17 including the postage. I've tried it on but never worn it so can't say if it's any more durable than it's score draw counter part? (I reckon the same people make them, umbro for dh gate companies, no umbro for score draw).

The re-release had the three stripes slightly misaligned and once you see it you can't unsee it. For £90 it went back.

I've got the short sleeved version, it's a very good copy of it albeit not perfect a la the material, put it this way, it's basically the score draw version with added umbro diamonds down the sleeve and on the front of the shirt.

They probably couldn't afford the licences?

Think that's the first home shirt I passed on at the time because of that patch. it's ok apart from that and we've had far worse.

Just noticed that villa and Chelsea play man u and spurs before their EL final then villa play man u after it so that's six points for villa and three for Chelsea. Must win for us v the cockney blue cheats.

They used to have a shop on shakespeare street near the adelphi before moving to a unit in the team valley.

Looks like toffs has bitten the bullet. Went on to their website and there's a banner saying 'Stock Clearance up to 75% Off everything and FREE UK Shipping on orders over £50' but when you click on any team it's just blank. (They lost the NUFC deal a few years ago).

I know. Point is you knew who it was and any commentator worth his salt would too. I don't know, the square patches were player issue only and there lies the problem because kids will want names and numbers on their shirts as well so an inbuilt square would be a better option but if you want a shirt you either get a number or walk around with a blank patch on your back, (loads do and I just don't get why they would?)

I agree about the square but the fucks given about people struggling to make out the name and number? This is where your sky fans come into it, never bothered anyone years ago till the squad name/number thing came about. If Paul Goddard was through on goal I wasn't in any doubt it was Paul Goddard or whoever for the opposition, and if it was someone you didn't know from another side a quick 'who scored for them?' would give you an answer from some random fan.

When I got my first job there were two of us that started, me and a Chinese kid called Hoo Yee. The old sweats would shout his name in my direction but the Chinese cunt always sloped off on the sly so I had to do his work. Also once worked with an Indian-Geordie who used to be a submariner in the RN, canny kid was Gandeep Undawatta.

He was the classic moocher.

The whelm is definitely on the underside. Whatever happens from now on we're never getting stripes back on the back which is frankly a fucking disgrace but uefa have made it so, so any team with European ambitions either gets on board or has a a domestic shirt and a European version.

I once had a shite wearing an Inter top from toffs so stick that in yer pipe and smoke it.

This ultra on the mic in the crowd sounds exactly like the bloke on channel 4 shouting "Campionato! Di Calcio! Italiano!" on football Italia.

Both legs of this tie have been great to watch.

FYP

It's much urdu about nothing, Kev.

Seedorf: "Who ish shish guy?"

What is the fascination with Daniel Sturridge on Amazon and Sky, though?

Got it on with Amazon and no commentary team talking shite all game, just the crowd noise....

The other kid.... "Ah fucking knew it!!"

You've all got @PaddockLad to thank for me being here since 2009 I think(?) so I'm still a newcomer by TT standards.
