      Throw ins (or linguistically should that be “throws in”?) infuriate the life out of me. No-one moves and we instantly lose the ball. Why bother – let’s just throw the ball directly to them.

      I agree too about corners although at least we were getting them in yesterday. We do need variation. Short corners seem a waste – they can be effective if they are whipped in quickly afterwards using the slightly different angle, but we seem to play it short, stand still and dither while the defenders close us down.

        I don’t know for sure but I think they’re white

          German athletics used to wear white with a red band (I know – I’m very sad to know that), Italy’s motor racing colours were red, New Zealand football team are the All Whites.

          The Welsh flag is principally green and white (with a red dragon) – the original Welsh football colours were green and white halves. Where’s the red come from. The Ulster flag is white and red.

          England’s football team have worn white and navy-blue since the 1880s. England rugby wore (until a couple of years ago) white jerseys and shorts with navy socks and white tops. So our “representative colours” are white and navy-blue.

            I think that they thought a “big name” would be begging to manage a Premier League club. They were wrong.

            A good lesson for us watching on the sidelines.

              It should be white and red. Pees me off that English National teams constantly have blue kits (or kits with blue on).

              I’ll be getting it.

              With that logic Italy should be in green, white and red, Germany in black, red and gold and Holland in red, white and blue. It doesn’t work like that. The point is that we have worn white and navy-blue for over a hundred years and are only changing now because someone wants to make a quick buck.

              The answer of course if we don’t like it is don’t buy it.

                            Are you still spinning ?

                            I wish i could have seen your face when you clicked it

                            You almost redeemed yourself before by apologising that you thought it was a private joke between you and Griff (although I think Griff has made it clear he wouldn’t find it so). Understandable in a way – but still not clever.

                            Please don’t now try and continue to make light of what was actually inexcusable. My little grandson was round here this morning – I would never expect to click on a link on this site and be faced with that.

                            My face, if it concerns you, was filled with disgust.

                              How many are online at any time can be misleading. I don’t always show that I’m online – so you never know!
