Can’t imagine we’d have the demand to sell enough either meet an MOQ or be worth it. Far fewer city fans than spurs fans 

It's surprising how few you need to make it viable. Custom kit makers will even do one-offs.

A bit niche this, but at the weekend, whilst marshalling at a cycling event, I saw a chap in a Spurs cycling jersey - and googling it, there's an official one available:

Spurs cycling jersey

I was wondering if there was any chance of our lot being imaginative enough to do something like that?

I really don't like the splat Robin badge or this latest creation.

That is now its official name.

Love how he avoids finding out the score, gets home, his wife says “Goodnight luv, enjoy the game…

 

…you won’t see any goals though”

When I was a kid, my stepdad () wanted to watch the Big Match on ITV Sunday lunchtime, round at his Aunt's. He went out of his way to avoid finding out the score, and when we arrived the first thing he said was "Don't tell me the score, Hilda, I want to watch the Big Match"

She said "OK, fine. Bloody rubbish game anyway, weren't any goals"

I swear I nearly died laughing.

Probably worth adding where you are travelling from etc

For example there is a large group of us that travel up from Weston / Worle every home game. Will go for a beer etc before the game and after, and occasionally go for a curry after

Made many lifelong friends over the years

We need a fans' equivalent of Tinder. 

Following the latest announcement by the club, KIT SUPPLIER

Told you we should have stayed with Hummel. O'Neill couldn't even make a good job of recreating a classic kit, then the nappy-stain yellow thing, now this abhorrence...

Christ. Probably shouldn't have googled that one on the work laptop

**** me, I just googled that 

Presumably a nice little sell-on bonus for Brum

Sounds like the nearest you’ll get to a wheelbarrow is at the allotment 

If only I had time after banging your wife

Maybe the defender was wearing granite boots.

I don't think he's alone in that...

I've never tried the wheelbarrow, but at my age I don't think my back's up to it.

I could go on but I think we all now our council is an absolute joke yet the people of Bristol continue to vote them in.

I think that's how it works with Councils, you elect the one local to you - I mean, I'm no expert, but...

I’m sure I’ve got a copy of OTIB or Bounty Hunter with the slogan on the back.

It was the Bountyhunter, I have the same edition

If I came to the end of a contract with my current employee, and they offered me half the money to stay on and do the same job, I'd definitely want to explore other options!

It's a more complex argument and model than that - you are presumably just as capable of doing your job for the next 2-3 years as you are now; you may even get better. That is not the case for Kalas, or any other footballer. Also, you are presumably paid a decent market rate for your work - again, Kalas is out of phase with current salaries. Kalas' profession is time-constrained, and his value diminishes over time. He depreciates, effectively.

I love economics.

Not being funny, but it's not like AG was a secret project, that popped up overnight. You live near a football stadium, it's going to get a bit chaotic on matchdays, particularly if there's no parking control (which there should be, fair enough).

As for cars vs public transport - Bristol's public transport is clearly just as shocking as I remember it back in the day. I can't believe I'm thinking of moving back...

Delighted for our old boy Moyesie. Not the world's biggest West Ham fan, but well done to them. But mostly pleased for Moyesie.

And Rob Newman, forgot about him. 

Please not purple and lime again. Those of us who were there when it was unleashed back in the day remember it was greeted with derision. "What the f--king hell is that", I recall was the chant.

A nice, classic white/black/white or something new. Last season's Hummel third kit was pretty good.

And the Hummel white away kit was a truly beautiful thing.

An interesting appointment, having been rejected by almost everyone out there (Cotts was still in a job at the time), it may be that Spurs have found their man. All this bo11ocks about a 'big name manager' for a 'big club' ignores the fact that Conte and Mourinho both failed, and Spurs have won nothing for over a decade.

From what I can see, the top 5 problems at Spurs are:

1. Levy
2. Over-reliance on Kane's goals
3. Levy
4. Poor, demotivated squad
5. Levy

Welcome on board, Ross, well done for calling us 'City', you're off to a flier

Oh well, move on, wish Joe well wherever he ends up. No room for sentimentality in football.
