Don't think much of the new kit.

Are the hats supposed to protect their hairstyles from damage during the game?

SHEDi xxx

where the fuck is the invisible German Canadian - Owen Hargreaves.

Does he actually exist??

it will be once those Multiplex pricks get their arses into gear, and down the VB's and the vegimite sarnies and do some bastard work.

They should have appointed me Project Manager, i'd have had it ready in time.

working with project managers all day I have to say

:barf:

you're the only one I've ever liked, Jem haha

I have to say from a completely non football and girly perspective, I like this look for Beckham and Calamity. They look like proper rough construction workers

Forgive this ignorant American, but I take it that Wembley is being refurbished? Is it an artificial pitch or natural grass?

normal grass. the ball bounces too high on Astro, and you burn your leg in a tackle. Astro is ok for the yankee space-suit gridiron boyz, but not for the "beautiful game" lads.

Glad to hear. I saw all the sand in the pictures and wondered if they were going to just plop down some artificial turf. Natural grass is making a comeback in the states, but there is a new kind of fake stuff made from recycled tires that is supposed to be quite excellent.
The yankee space-suit gridiron boyz, by the way, HATE artificial turf. The only ones that like it are the kickers, as it's a nice, true, even surfce to kick off of.

By the way, why would they announce Eriksson is leaving the team after the World Cup, just a few months beforehand. Isn't anyone worried about his lame duck status hurting team discipline?

coz the F.A (Football Association) are a bunch of old gits who haven't got a clue. Sven is a lame duck. but he won't give a fuck. So, win or lose, the pressure will mount on McClaren come Sepetmber.

Well...err.. I thought here were photos to prove that the 1966 Wembley-goal wasn't a goal...
