This weekend we play Hull. Look at what Hull wore in the 90s. At some point someone approached someone else with these designs, and that someone agreed to let them be mass produced and worn by their football team. Like so much in football, it defies rational explanation.
Here’s the new Auxerre kit, for those of us (is it just me?) who like to keep up to date with matters Airness:
If they were still supplying us our own version would, presumably, slightly recall the dabs.com kit that I always associate with Papa Bouba Diop.
Arsenal are without nine first team players. If they can stay without for three weeks that would be nice, wouldn’t it?
Setanta are warned to make some money. If they don’t the next TV deal could go a bit pear shaped, and the game could conceivably find itself in a bit of a mess. This happened in the Championship and below with ITV Digital, of course, but it’ll be interesting to see how things play out. Will the game pay for letting its players walk away with so much of its revenue? These booms don’t always keep booming, do they?
Great stuff on 200 percent. A season preview, a look back at the Topical Times Football annuals (I had those!) and even a reminder of the original Football Manager on the ZX Spectrum (yep!). (none of these links are working as of now, but were a while ago)
Finally, Chopper’s dug out some info on messrs Zakuani and Omozusi. Zakuani was popular at Stoke until they got themselves promoted and presumably decided to shop for ‘better’ players. But the young man was a regular at Orient from a very young age, so I’d assume him to be coachable. He’s still young. Omozusi will be playing at Norwich, which’ll be ideal for him.
And I have just had a bowl of Sainsbury’s Own Brand Super Noodles at work. It’s the simple things in life…
