Most of our change kits do tend to be complete wank.

Good result for Spurs. Blackburn winning too. Only West Ham are struggling. Maybe the recent Argentinian circus has been a bit unsettling.

Top result for Derry. Get a goal in Paris and this would be a MAJOR shock.

Just saw that and found myself thinking "PSG? Is that really the PSG I'm thinking it is?". Good for Derry

Yes, our European away kit is high on the list of Worst Kits Of All Time. Truly awful.

Shame you didn't go light blue (ala Man City). It's made to be entirely light blue. You can't combine that with anything and expect it to work. Ever.

That's because Arsenal don't play British players. The team against Boro last week was all foreign players.

ARSENAL MAKE HISTORY WITH WORLD XI
Posted 15/09/06 07:52EmailPrintSave

Arsenal are believed to have made Champions League history when they fielded a team comprised of players from 11 different countries on Wednesday night against Hamburg.

Although the Gunners started the match with two Ivorians, Emmanuel Eboue and Kolo Toure, in their starting line-up, the withdrawal of the crocked Toure after 29 minutes resulted in a - possibly unique - WorldXI team.

ajax played okayish and won 5-2

Rangers to win back the SPL under Paul Le Guen.
Chelsea to win everything down south.
Portsmouth to mount a legitimate challenge for a European slot (mark my words, this will happen!).
Scotland to turn a few heads in the Euro qualifiers.

Liverpool to collapse

If someone had told me Pompey would have 13 points from 5 games scoring 9 and conceding none I'd have said "pull the other one mate, it's got bells on."

I said it before and I'll say it again. This isn't possible, and the bubble will burst, but I'm enjoying it while it lasts

Aye feel sorry for the lad after he'd worked hard to get all the fans and media off his back.

In a strange way it might mean his move to ManU in January is more likely though as he should be fit by then but might not get his Bayern place back.
