  1. I would think because they need to have kits manufactured, photo shoots done, and stores stocked all before the kits are released. All it takes is one person with a phone to snap a picture ahead of time. I think it’s good news for release day that it’s leaking this early. Years past our kit was just leaking while everyone else had actually unveiled theirs.
  2. Bit boring, nothing to complain about though. 3rd is an improvement on the last two years’ shockers. This might be unpopular, but I’d like to see blue shorts with the away. Surely the 3rd will have matching black shorts.
  3. It’s getting more popular, but beginning to expand to the detriment of the quality. There’s only so much talent over here, and spreading it out over more team dilutes the league. Unless their eventual plan is to expand to a multi-tier league with promotion/relegation, I think more teams is a bad thing.
  4. I also have to say that I don’t understand people who act “holier than thou” over those who enjoy a bit of schadenfreude. He helped us immensely, but also in the background was trying to ditch us for years. If I had an ex girlfriend who was fun to be with but was also cheating on me behind my back, yeah I’d hope for the worst when she left.
  5. I do think he’ll snag the league. And I’ve thought all along “what does he care, he’s laughing all the way to the bank with his millions of pounds.” But I do also think today has to hurt. Coming on with 12 minutes remaining and a 2 goal advantage to see out a ticket to the CL final, only to blow it. Especially having two chances. Not really his fault they didn’t go in, but still, they didn’t go in. People on here debating about whether or not he’s a flop. At least this season, he has been. Man City has been one key signing away from a Champions League title for multiple years. They just spent an English record transfer fee of £100 million on him. They now aren’t only out of the CL, but they’ve also tossed the domestic cups. The league is their only saving grace, and even that is still up for grabs. The big question is whether or not he was the missing piece (clearly he was not). But for a squad that loaded, spending £100 million on one player damn well must put you over the line on the honors that have eluded you, and they’ve only regressed.
  6. Just paid my first visit to that website. Feel like I need a shower, but found quite a bit of entertainment there
  7. Very true. Plus in the Brum area there’s approximately 3 pubs on every block. That’s some stiff competition
  8. Konsa shouldn’t have ever gotten his place back from Chambers
  9. A good restaurant and pub would’ve done the trick for me, although I’m a simple person.
  10. Coming from an “outsider” (in terms of location, not fandom): i would’ve gone to VP every single day of my visit to Brum if there was more to do. As it currently is, I saw everything I wanted in the two hours before the match I attended.
  11. I got a trip to VP for my 28th
  12. Anyone want to talk about the Wolves?
  13. Dunno, he hasn’t responded to any of our friends since UNC lost
  14. My buddy is a diehard UNC basketball fan. He put $20 on UNC to win the national championship before the season started. If they hold on to win, he’s about to make around $2,000
  15. Konsa didn’t deserve to regain his place from Chambers in the first place
  16. If we win it’s called soccer going forward
  17. us pesky Yanks are back! Even though I know USA soccer can be a punching bag, I finally feel excited about our national team
  18. Never, ever cheer for Wisconsin
  19. I really hope this is the year the Wild make a run at the Cup, but I’ve been a Minnesota sports fan long enough to know better
