Pick out your own favourites. As a Palace fan, I have to laugh at Brighton's stripey shorts effort from 1991, which made them look even more like Tesco bags. Their away shirt at the time was even worse, it was red and white, and looked like a Chewit wrapper The early 90s truly were the nadir in footie shirt design.

Wouldn't be complete without our frankly ace tiger print kit, wish I had it


Pre-season hasn't even started and I'm already angry, first off boo the club for changing our pre-season away at Grimsby to a shit home game against Liverpool but now the police have put a stop 2 our game against feyernoond, damn po po and then you get sky changing our first game of the season to the unnatural time of Friday night & just to rub salt in the wound abit more, it's reveiled that our main sponsor will be cash convertors.


I hate football

Joey Barton has been notified by the United States Embassy that he will not be given a visa for Newcastle's pre-season tour of the country, the club have announced.

I wonder what would happen if England picked Barton for an international in the USA?

If a Visa wasn't granted it would be up to England to decide if they wanted to go ahead with the match without Barton or not. As it would likely be a friendly, England wouldn't be able to appeal to FIFA to get the match postponed and possibly rescheduled for a neutral venue, so England would simply have to make their own decision.

But if it wasn't a friendly but a World Cup qualifier...

Bit of trivia for all you football fans.

Really strange at my club Fulham these days, already our 3rd European game of the season tonight, away at the Crusaders in Ireland. Should be a game we should have no trouble with, just odd seeing us already in serious games!

Pretty glad we signed Riise yesterday, really good move I feel
