hycus-flange

to be honest, I have only been to one game this season, the LC match against Bolton, I normally attend between 12 and 15 games a season with my kid, but the lack of application that night made me think hard about going again, i have resisted going all season since that shite night, and will continue to not go until AM fooks off or is fooked off.

to me this season feels as bad if not worse than Dolly's last season with us, if Randy doesnt care he should sell up and take AMc with him.

Stop it lads, it`s just a piece of plastic. really not worth arguing about.

Main thing that it is claret and blue, and worthy of our club.

We would have more concerns as to the sponsor. Rather leave out the chinese gambling stuff to be honest. Worse was Muller back in the 90's. Known quite well to be sponsoring the NPD as well (an old german version of the EDL).

Bad stuff.

Exactly the point I was trying to make, but some people get arsey when you try to point out that there are more important things in life to worry about than who supplies a **** football shirt to the Villa.

Ooh-Ah, you say it's not about a superficial affiliation with a popular brand but it's about quality and style. Again, whats to stop Macron making a quality, stylish top? Also, no-one said that 'having a sense of style is shallow'. The point being made was, why boycott the purchase of a Villa shirt (before it's even been designed or released!!) just because it's made by Macron. That's shallow, or superficial, or something..

I just think that hycus-flange's point was misread by a few. Unless you both actually think that a kit made by Macron will definatly be horrible, and even if it isn't, you both won't buy it because it's made by Macron, and not Nike/ Puma/ Umbro/ Reebol/ Adidas?

I don't think anyone was flat out refusing to by our new kit simply because it's going to be made by Macron. I never said Macron are incapable of making a nice kit, nor did I say that I definitely won't buy next season's shirt because it's made by Macron. If it's nice, I'll buy it. I just think that Macron are less likely to come up with a nice shirt than Nike or Puma or Umbro or Adidas are. Not because these companies are bigger or more popular, but because these companies almost invariably make nicer football kits.

Maybe I'm misinterpreting the general mood in this thread but the impression I got, if I may be so bold as to recklessly categorise everyone into two opposing groups, was that some people (like me) are disappointed that we got Macron, and some people are not.

Of those who are not disappointed, some DO care about what the shirt looks like and are hopeful that Macron deliver on this front, and some don't care about what the shirt looks like. My gripe is with those who don't care, but specifically I was taking issue with posts like hycus-flange's that suggest that people who are complaining about the Macron deal are only doing so because Nike are "cooler":

I'm not moaning, just voicing an opinion, I have plenty of other things to moan about than having one crappy brand name sweat shop made piece of crap over another lesser named sweat shop made piece of crap.

Its quite sad that people are so shallow.

YAWN!!!!!

you read what you want to see.

I was trying to point out how petty some people can be over branded mass prouced poor quality tat.

peer pressures a bitch.

I can't believe I've just spent the last twenty minutes composing a retort for an argument on a message board involving someone called 'hycus-flange'. This is a low.

nothing low about it, you must really love me, or Nike, personally i couldn't give a **** about you wasting 20 mins collating all these quotes to try and win an argument when you missed the first post I wrote which is the important one, but then again if you did quote that one then you wouldn't have been able to make yourself out to be the victim, are you sure you are not a Liverpool fan, then again if you were, we would be having the same argument as they are ditching the wonderful three stripes for another shitty shirt provider.

dont WBA count as a Birmingham team, B71 postcode, B for Birmingham.

If thats the case then there are already 2 Birmingham teams in the Prem. We really dont need a third.

According to your rules we should only worry about proper things so I suggest all football forums are shut down. Football is just a pastime afterall.

YAWN!!!!!

Perhaps as empty as somebody who can think nothing better to do than moan about people having an opinion.

Or somebody moaning about that moaning.

people ticking over something as trivial as not having a ticky thing on their replica shirt next year, are your lives that empty of proper things to worry or whinge about?

a "Texan", used to chew on one of them for ages, they were brilliant.

does anyone else think there is some kind of conspiracy against City, dodgy sending off against Manure, City out of the cup, dodgy penalty against the plop, City out of the cup. It seems like with their new money they still can't gatecrash the favourite four of the premier league.

Carroll - £35m

Downing - £20m

Henderson - £20m

Adam - £10m

How much would these guys fetch it they had to sell them now?

Carroll - £10m?

Downing - £8m?

Henderson - £7m?

Adam - £5m?

That'd be a cool £35,000,000 loss :shock:

Maths is fun, 35+20+20+10= 85

10+ 8+ 7 + 5 = 30

loss = difference between 85-30=

55.

:winkold:

Could chew and apple threw a letter box.

chewing an apple is ok, but why throw a letter box, the postman would have nothing to put the letters through.

As long as there are no claret shorts and that stupid man logo thing on the sleeves...

We will always have Claret shorts due to kit clashes in the league. The home kit will be Claret top with blue sleeves and White shorts like it has always been.

it seems that Villa are the only team to change their white shorts if there is a clash when playing away, as when teams who wear white shorts come to VP they still wear them and clash with us.

it makes no odds who makes the top, as long as its out on time and is the right colour.

Exactly, its not going to be shit quality it'll be the same as every other football shirt. These shirts arent made by Vivienne Westwood or Paul Smith they are football shirts for **** sake made out of polyester and not by a skilled seamstress or tailor.

People take a look at the name, know **** all about it, then go into moan mode because it isnt the amazing Nike who people also moaned about.

There is nothing wrong with the look of the kits on their website, they just look modern and a bit quirky and like I said earlier without the risk of sounding too metrosexual the cut looks very good.

Do people know that Macron is Italian and what are Italians mainly known for? Cars and clothing.

Anything for a moan though.

well said, its like all the people moaning get some kind of sexual relief out of having 3 stripes or a swooshy tick on their football shirt. They are all made in the same sweat shops with the same material, just a different label.

it makes no odds who makes the top, as long as its out on time and is the right colour.

What about a facebook page with a link to here, and linked from everyone elses facebook profile, it would get massive and soon be picked up on by Randy or Faulkner or the press

it could be the result we need, get a right battering at home to bring things to a head, only 2 weeks till transfer window opens, who knows, we may have a new man in charge to go shopping to get us out of the shit, or we might just have to sit back and watch it all fall apart as the powers that be do nothing while every week we get pissed on.

you are a brave man putting that picture up for photo-shopping, good luck with not having a cock aiming at your face.

did the dog get a bone?

oversaw Uniteds rise from mid table also rans with the odd cup win into the all conquering team and hopefully will oversee their return to obscurity when all the best players want to go to the other team in Mac land who will be winning everything for the foreseeable future.

You know the guy who told us the clubs point of view? Does he still post on her or was he shown to be a complete bullshit pr machine?

ask Nicky!

Milner can get ****.

and i bet he does quite regularly, have you seen the size of his .....................................

bank account.

this has just pissed me off, needed a win to get promotion, last game of the league, beating LA galaxy with Duisburg 3-0, clock is on 88 mins and the clearing in the woods quits on me, the game then said that the result would be determined by how the game had gone until he quit, i go back into head to head league to find that i hadn't been promoted and that it had come to the conclusion that at 3-0 up on 88 mins i would have gone on to loose the fookin game. not happy.

doesn't matter what nationality the manager is, England are always built up to be something they are not, they are always in amongst the favourites for any tournament they manage to qualify for and they always never live up to the hype, its always the same old players getting picked on media reputation, who always flatter to deceive and until we get a national manager with the balls to actually pick a player on merit, the international team is dead to me. I cant remember the last time I wanted to watch an England game, tell a lie, it was in the world cup against Germany, I supported Germany. They had a team of hungry young players and were good to watch, unlike our shower of shite

its only good for pubs and clubs, where sky charge against the rateable value of the premises per game, the subscription for Greek nova is around the same as having sports package on Sky per year so the domestic market will not benefit from this.
