    2016/17 New Kit!

    The home is awful, I want to like it so I can buy it but it's not happening so far. I might go and pre order an away. Has anyone who has been to the store got any photos of any new training gear or shirt printing?

    2016/17 New Kit!

    Don't like the sound of that, but I'll hold judgement until it's released tomorrow. From Humpty on Twitter. It would certainly make the shirt less boring than the sneak preview suggested it might be. I think it would take some warming to unfortunately though.

    2016/17 New Kit!

    I like the new patches, but given the general response I can see this rebrand lasting as long as Everton's a few years back.

    2016/17 New Kit!

    I quite like the Ramsdens sponsor now the awful green bar is gone. It's nice to have a local sponsor too. Now I'm wondering if the new Premier League patches & printing will be ready tomorrow.

    2016/17 New Kit!

    I'm worried about the adidas stripes being on the side of the kit. It looks pretty bad on every design I've seen so far.
  6. It will be a nice easy start on the next Football Manager though. The losing playoff teams and Hasselbaink's QPR should give them a fair bit of trouble in the real world I imagine. I think Norwich will have a much better chance of keeping their squad together and going back up the Burnley way as well.
  7. I could see any of Burnley, PO winners, West Brom, Bournemouth, Watford, Palace, Sunderland finishing below us. This is mainly based on their 2016 performances and my opinion of their relative recruitment. I'll predict 14th above all of those teams except Sunderland. Of course I would be happy with survival in any position though. Our squad has underachieved a bit this season so I wouldn't be surprised if we could be strong in the Premiership with the right recruitments.
  8. One thing I've seen on different vBulletin forums is a betting system. The admin can put events up for betting on and can set certain odds. Everyone has some forum currency to bet with which resets every month with the idea being to accumulate the most by the end of each month. Just something that could add a little fun like the predictions league. A quick search tells me vBookie is the name of the forum add-on. There isn't any big problems with the forum as it is.
  9. There was a video on youtube called 'the best bus ride ever' with Joey Barton singing 'Karanka is a W****r' but its been removed. But yeah hes worth defending as he hasn't a bad bone in his body - in fact comedy genius I'd say, he should do stand up. Yeah I've just seen that. Consider my defence withdrawn.
  10. I was just taking a quick peek on the Bristol City forums to see if they're worried about Kodjia leaving and it seems a few of them are having ideas about an Adomah return. That could be an interesting one considering Bristol were willing to put up £6m for Gayle last season.
  11. While Joey is a complete prat, I'll defend him on this one. He seems like he's just having fun and working the crowd, I don't think he was really being specifically malicious to us, we just happened to be the team he could target. I didn't know about the 2nd place trophy myself and it did seem a bit bizarre. All that said JHalden's post is brilliant.
  12. I would hope Rhodes is like Charlie Austin and continues scoring at the highest level as he did. After the money we spent, we would be mad to consider selling him before trying him out. At the very least he's worth having in case (god forbid) we come straight back down. Who would like Kalas to stay?

    2016/17 New Kit!

    I would love something like Chelsea's new design with the lion all over the shirt. Unfortunately ours will probably be a bit more generic. I suppose the River Plate design is quite nice. I voted pink for the away kit because I love Bournemouth's third kit this season, but more realistically I wouldn't mind white as we haven't seen it for a while with the exception of that limited third kit which was easily our best kit in recent memory.
  14. If we do sell Reach then I hope it's to Preston with a buyback clause. I think Preston are the best club for his development and we definitely shouldn't be giving up on him 100%. An arrangement like this might help Preston afford him too.
  15. For me, these are the players I would be happy signing from the potentially relegated sides. Trying to keep it realistic so I've left some players out like Grealish who will be loyal to Villa. Starting off with Villa, Scott Sinclair and Veretout could potentially be cost effective recruits. Neither cost Villa too much so they might be happy to flip them for small amounts. Sinclair is a very inconsistent player, but obviously can be unbelieveable on his day. Veretout was being chased by Leicester when Villa signed him and I understandably trust their recruitment process. Difficult to find a
  16. Even better than that, the Riverside and a few more scanned faces will be on Fifa. (Granted we do have Nuge, Ramirez and Downing faces already) Good time to be a Boro gamer :D
  17. When do we start the Gaston hashtag then?
  18. https://streamable.com/c5ig Celebrations at the whistle. What a day! Honestly incomparable feeling, we ***ing did it!
  19. It makes a small change, if Burnley lose twice then they're up. Unlikely but it does change the permutation a bit.
  20. On the other hand, last season our opponents didn't need only a draw which is very possible. Both teams went to Wembley going to win. Neither went to Wembley going for a draw. Brighton will not come to the Riverside looking for a draw, regardless of the result on Monday. I hope you're right. At the very least it might change their attitude (god forbid) should they take a lead. I would say another positive difference to last year is no injured Bamford up top.
  21. It would be difficult for Downing to put a lot of good crosses in because he did that annoying thing were he tries to play centrally even though he's (hopefully) been told to play on the left.
  22. On the other hand, last season our opponents didn't need only a draw which is very possible.
  23. A recurring theme in our performances this season.
  24. Robbed. Unbelievable. Can't believe AK put Stuani on again.
