Why in gods name were we wearing it last night!?!?!?! I can see absolutely no reason for a clash between our and Spurs home shirt - yes there is white in our shirt but come on it would take some body basically blind to confuse the two!
It's a bastard jinx - virtually everytime we play in it we play utter shite (except Liverpool)!
The only other times we've played decently away from is in the Red and White. I am sure it must be subconciously affecting the players performances.
Also with the red shorts it looks utter toss - it's bad enough with blue shorts but with red it must be the worst looking kit we've ever had!
Otherwise what in fuck name was that team selection about?
For me the team for Man City has got to be:
Sorensen
Griffin
Higginbotham
Shawcross
Delap
Etherington
Abdy Faye
Pugh
Lawrence
Fuller or Kitson
Beattie
Pugh was great against Chelski and was dropped - Whelan was wank & anonymous and was wank & anonymous again last night but somehow is still in the starting lineup in place of Pugh!
Yes - Abdy Faye has been a rock at the centre of the defence however his ball skills and eye for simple pass is what we are missing in the centre of midfield and I am sure Higginbotham can do the job at CB.
As for Cresswell - fair enough he's a grafter and can do a job as a sub to close a game out but when you have Fuller and Kitson shining there arses on the bench you have wonder . . . why??!?!!

abdy faye in midfield  delap r/back agree he should have gone there last night when wilko got injured and put lawro right mid but thats a bit more of an attacking option which tp would not go for when we are only 3 down!!!!!!!!!! |

Oh it's the kit  I thought it was just as we wear it away and when we play away our manager has all the confidence and bravado of:  |

Yep - Abdy Faye as the anchor role protecting the back 4 he played this role for both Senegal and Bolton.
He has a far better footballing brain than any of our currently defensive midfielders other than possibly Diao.

Abdy is meant to be better in central midfield.

The strip things is slightly tongue in cheek . . . even though it is quite possibly the worst strip ever.

It will never beat the Ansells yellow strip from the early 90s.

I say feck the yellow strip off and get the blue one out again
We look like an amateur Sunday side in that yellow effort, its bloody awful.
Note to club - Away strip should always be blue ongoing!

I've joked about this in the past - saying that the kit has a hex on it and thats why we lose whenever we play yellow and red etc but (and it is a bit of a long shot at the very least ;D ) Could there really be something to it? I don't mean in a superstitious way but lets face it, we know it looks ridiculous, our players know it looks ridiculous (surely???) and the opposition know it looks ridiculous. Not only that but then you have to go out onto a field of grass surrounded by thousands of people, floodlights and cameras and try too look good. Imagine being forced to wear a pair of brown corduroy trousers? a tartan short sleeve shirt and a woolly tank top that has some hideous random design like this: .jpg) And then your put into a night club and you see a really fit girl. Would you really wanna approach her and try to get into her thong? Feeling a little self conscious about looking like a total pillock would be an understatement (in both scenarios) and maybe this has an effect on our game? Yeah bit of a long shot but you never know ;D |

MC - yes he did against Everton. Unfortunately Sonko and Cort were behind in the centre of defence!  |

He has a far better footballing brain than any of our currently defensive midfielders other than possibly Diao. I think we really miss having Salif in there...  ... and Wilko needs a rest... he’s just not up to it I’m afraid. Oh and by the way, if we can play in Red and White lets bloody do it instead of changing! |

I love the yellow away shirt, it's the best away shirt we have had for fucking years.
Plenty of people have commented how much they like it when I've been out and about in it.

Spare a thought for Watford. Our away kit last night is more or less their HOME kit.  |

H Yeah well it might look good with jeans but it looks utterly toss with red shorts and socks where it matters! Why don't we have some yellow shorts and socks to at least have some resemblance of a unique strip opposed to just a Watford lookielike? |

Are you still a brainless goon with incorrect facts?
Just a thought like
Don't answer, every fucker on here knows the answer.
That's very true, but I have no intention of wearing red shorts and socks with it.

Yellow does not have anything to do with Stoke City in terms of colours! As stated, the blue one makes more sense as blue is in the badge!

So your blaming the colour of a shirt for the away form? What about Pulis' tatics or the players he plays dont they have something to do with it?
