Does anyone remember the 0-1 loss to Crystal Palace on boxing Day a few years back? Last minute Gayle goal. Horrible boring game, we were dredful. Cold day, last minute loss, more forward passed in a rugby game. I think that was in the height of the Lamber reign.

That baggies kit is nice. But is it a West Brom kit?

Everything given to Italians now. Shame.

I stand corrected, you are right.

They won't even win this match.

I don't mind the shoulders that much. It's different. What I do mind is the different sized claret stripes going down the shirt. It reminds me of the below, and once you see it, you can't unsee it.

N'zogbia esque

Surely there has to be some sort of a fan led focus group into kit preferences? Or does that not happen?

After the Elphick height fiasco I couldn't take us signing Messi.

I'd say more of a Chris Samba. Apart from being a different nationality. And a winger.

What's the Swedish feeling before the game? It's not really a must win, do you think it will be a 100% performance or a bit of a cool down before the knockouts?

Am I the only one thinking that Kane to Man City for 100m is simply not happening? 1) Man City never spend that much on a single player - I think compared to Man U or Barca or Real or Juve they actually have a good transfer model. I'm sure they have their eyes set on 10 different strikers. 2) Guardiola doesn't play with a dedicated striker (or he hasn't recently) - but maybe because he doesn't have one that's good enough, granted. 3) Kane's form does not warrant such a fee - lately, he looks slow and lazy. 4) I'm sure they could get better value in Europe with a younger striker that could score 20 goals. 5) Spurs counter and Son feeds Kane - City dominate and kills teams with slick passing and through balls. Is Kane made for that? I just don't see it. But I could be wrong.

I got a vaccine call up the other day, I though, finally, but it turned out to be a letter requesting an interview from Spurs.

What do you mean "if"?

I really don't understand this strategy by Villa. Many people would buy a shirt to wear it throughout the summer. Excitement by signings can only drive sales. I get it might take longer if we change sponsors or manufacturers, but that isn't the case this year - can someone please tell me, why do we have to wait so long?

I don't drink anything but water/tea/coffee (obviously alcohol on occasions). But I do very much like coke, a bottle/can once or twice a season, especially on a hot day - I'm not gonna say it's too sweet, and I sort of don't get when people say that. How can you complain about sweetness of a drink that you know is filled with sugar? What else is it gonna be? It's designed to be sweet, it's a sugary drink for the love of god. 2 questions to you soda drinkers; 1) I find that coke is so much better in a can or in a glass bottle. I would not buy a plastic bottle of coke, I just find the taste and experience of drinking it poor. Do you get that too? 2) It looks like there is a lot of Pepsi Max/Coke Zero/ lovers out there. How can you drink that artificial, plastic imitation of a drink? It's not better for you, it doesn't taste as good as the original, and if you want something less sweet, well, drink some water or a fresh lemonade. I really don't understand the reasoning behind drinking it, do you do it just for it's flavour? Because health wise you are literally injecting your body with shit.

Another good signing and this one is free. What's not to like?

we are getting the band back together

420k a week 7 year deal

I'm pretty sure it's head to head in groups? So if both Poland and Slovakia end up on 3 points, Slovakia go through?

Now that Poland lost to Slovakia Euro is done for me. Really disappointing. That Sweden-Spain draw is salt to rub the wound as well. Poland now need results against both Spain and Sweden, unless Sweden loses against Slovaks. Is that even possible?

So, is he any good? Has anyone ever watched him play?

I can see it already, last minute, pass into the box.... ..... WATKIIIIIINNNNNNSSSSSSS!!!!!

It kept Burnley up so surely it's good enough?
