That away kit photo has had a bit of a "gold/white or blue/black" dress photo effect on me, I originally saw the white as yellow and thought it was a black/green/yellow kit... now I realise/see its a remake of the iconic navy and jade kit that I knew was coming in the first place

Not sure it is an unpopular opinion! Iconic!

Funny you should say that as this seasons Adidas templates are literally a modern remake on their Teamgeist templates of 2006.

Impressed me in that game from what I could see of it to be fair

Kingy, Riccy P, The players that have come through the academy from Monga at the youngest to the resurgence of Lukeberto Carlos, The idea of Cifuentes. Hopefully we can enter a new era building around that. Rest can get in the bin though. Top & the board, The wider stadium atmosphere & fan mentality, Modern football aspects - sponsorships & PSR, Communications department. Can go on and on.

That pink has the exact same pattern and template as the gk shirt which is odd and not usually something Adidas would do. Think the pink is also GK.

They're already finding loopholes - these companies are launching "live score" apps with their branding so they can still be on front of shirts. Same way that countries with alcohol advertising bans just end up having companies advertise their alcohol free products with the same branding. They always find a way and it stinks.

Out of curiosity what’s the dead give away that’s the company on the shirt? Can’t see the logo on the shirt anywhere on the website?

Pretty sure the navy stuff is all training. That’s defo the pink away though.

Rudkin currently sat behind his laptop furiously setting up K Bet social media accounts and using the remaining transfer budget on buying bot followers

Presumably that’s the pink number in the background.

Had to be Siraj didn't it

Glad it's not just me - thought it was a bit weird as I'm the most casual of cricket watchers but test cricket is my favourite without a shadow of doubt.

Stokes looks ruined, led by example today.

God this is stubborn, fair play

Toffolo and Lowe are solid championship players with promotion knowhow - but I just don't think we need a left back at all. We have 3 right backs that can play there & cover Thomas even if/when Kristiansen is sold.

Wasserman, check.

England are bang up for this, Siraj is getting absolute pelters when he comes in, in more ways that one

Would imagine the hold up is his staff - Can imagine getting Xavi Calm out of QPR is hard work considering how it ended for Cifuentes there. On the flip side it would seem he only took Calm with him to QPR so hard to say how many he wants to bring in with him... we know we need a goalkeeper coach at a minimum. Also worth noting we'll be having to sort work permits for any foreign staff also, could be a factor.

Buzzing for this one, get Rahul and Pant in quick succession and it's well and truly on.

Absolute masterclass from Enzo this. Nailed the game plan and set up.

Played primarily LB for the 21’s last year despite being right footed. Plays anywhere across the defence though.

Not quite his time but he’s going to manage us one day and it’s going to be fantastic to have him in the dugout. Bloke gets it, gets us.

Could be, you might be wrong though
