Went to watch an U14 girls game earlier this afternoon. Three lads who have played for me having connections across both clubs. I went as a sort of peacekeeper. If you can possibly imagine me in such a role.
Came back to see nuke hassle playing in green, and astle vanilla playing in blue. For no obvious reason. Fuck modern football.
Bournemouth and Newcastle both play in kits with black stripes, black shorts, and black socks. Bournemouth are at home, so as the away team Newcastle are playing in their change strip. Let me know if any other newfangled concepts like away kits need explaining.
(I'm not sure why Villa are in their away kit.)
Sunderland have been full of beans even with ten men, Villa look a mess. Key players like Watkins and Rogers lacking energy and failing to get involved in the game, McGinn looks to be off the pace now.
PL relegation is going to be super close this year. I guess it's only been a few games, but all of the teams that have come up look like they're going to make a good effort. I can't pick three to go down. I hoped Brentford would crash and burn but it's not looking like that. Wolves maybe. Maybe West Ham. Burnley? Fuck knows.
This is really not a season we want to be flirting with relegation in the final few weeks of the season.
I am happy to confirm that green shirts are reserved for goalkeepers (ref: Sewell, A. (1976) Observers Book Of Association Football. 3rd Edition. F Warne.).
Your move.
In 1976 they also considered canned fruit set in aspic to be not just edible, but a dish that one could proudly present to one's friends at a dinner party. I think we should all agree that the accepted wisdom of 50 years ago has long since been replaced with superior learnings.
Anyway, keepers wore colours other than green in the 70s and 80s, and plenty of teams had green strips. Or did Sewell, A not think that Celtic and Plymouth and Ireland were a thing in 1976?
Plymouth Argyle are sad.
No.
They had stripes, they were not green. Because green is reserved for goalkeepers. Nuke hassles green shirt is all green. Unless they are all goalkeepers this is wrong. If they are all goalkeepers this is also wrong.
Don't misunderstand me, match officials wearing yellow shirts is just as bad.
Yellow shirts are reserved for internationally recognised goalkeepers.
I shall be writing to the times match magazine over this complete liberty.

So if keepers have been allowed to break with the rules you hold sacrosanct, so outfield strips should be able to as well.
I can confirm that I am against goalkeepers breaking my rules.
Pep has tuned into Nuno
What a finish!
As Guru stated...
I see Pep did a Nuno on Arsenal and almost got away with it if it wasn't for a brilliant piece of finishing from Martinelli. Ironically, Arsenal equalized because Citeh pushed forward near the end and were caught almost on a counter which is what Haaland did to them to begin with. The Shammers did that to us...
So everyone is copying Nuno now......Apart from us...

Lincoln are really giving Chelsea a game, they don't look a bad side at all.
Just realised that Derby are in the Championship relegation zone. I know it doesn't mean much after only six games, but fuck that, they're still in the bottom three.
