Dunno if it’s been mentioned already, but Blue Monday would be ace - failing that Joy Division ‘Transmission’ always sounds great pre-game.

It’s pretty nice, but not a patch on most the away strips designed by Umbro for us, e.g. the black, navy and maroon kits.

Away kit is crap, looks dated. Not even close to being as good as any of Umbro’s away shirt designs.

Won’t be buying it and it would look better with white shorts, but I think it’s quite smart. Still don’t understand why Nike can’t make the club badge of a similar quality to Umbro mind.

No we didn't. None of the Umbro kits worn by either City or England during the period 09-13 featured the Umbro double diamond logo on the socks. More manufacturers should follow this trend. Shirt and shorts are sufficient space to advertise the brand, whilst the socks look much better and...

Seems like a pretty stupid comment to make to me. What can you plan for in football? You can never predict the future, nor guarantee trophies. To me talk of 'targets' smacks of business speak.

Hello all, just thought you might enjoy this perspective on Ferguson by an Australian sports writer: FINAL WORD Enough of the haggis-ography. Sir Alex Ferguson was manager of Manchester United for 27 years, during which it won the English league 13 times, but just two European championships...

Haha brilliant, made me laugh - that's what I got out of it as well!

Yes, yes, yes! The best and most sensible opinion I've heard yet on this topic.

Fantastic kit, even though it's from well before my time (I'm 26) I'm well aware of that kit. Even remember City releasing a re-issue at the same time as the Kappa kits in 1997.

I think it's great, but the lack of EDS and academy content, including player profiles, has been an on-going issue for years and years, and is something that even the major website overhaul of a couple years back hasn't rectified. There should be more content on the EDS and academy, any...

Exactly mate, I'm fed up of this attitude. I won't list all the many reasons why, surprise surprise, the standard is comparable with the Prem, but what I will say is that I wish football lovers in Aus would get behind the game instead of slagging it off. It's by no means there yet - but it's...

Tracksuit is well nice as you say, really want it but probably gonna wait until it's on sale to buy it.

The OP is right, the shirts with badges and numbering are a rip-off. Yes, I hear you say, 'don't buy them then!' - I don't. If I do buy the shirts I get them when they're reduced, the exception being the first batch of Umbro shirts in 2009. But I really feel for those who want all the numbering...

I had the pleasure of a carvery meal at your very pub not two weeks ago, very good it was too! Plate was piled up with food - yes, three types of meat and two yorkshire puds - and I demolished it all. Had some of grandma's and my auntie's too. Very nice.

THIS, great post. Sums it up nicely.

Yeah, wish they wouldn't do this. And before anyone chimes in with 'don't buy one each season' - I don't! Have invested in a few since we've returned to Umbro though, lovely shirts.

Yep, totally agree. Both should've been given more of a chance than they were.

Martin Samuel is quite simply the best football writer out there, bar none. No-one tells it like it is just like he does, no one. If only each paper had at least one football writer committed to painting things in the same light as he.
