Apparently their red home kit had too much white in it

View attachment 54989

It's clearly to sell shirts. Surely historically it has been white vs red? I hate it when they mess with that just for commercial reasons.

 

[AmandaJR]

I didn’t think they did that anymore.
Away kit when playing away.
Could be wrong tho.

Oh I see. That would be a shame.

Something else to post in Random Irritations though

Oh I see. That would be a shame.

Only need to change kit to “second or third kit” if there is a clash

As you say - clubs bring out yearly kits not to get more revenue - it’s a money grab

I could have made it up
Chelsea wore white yesterday

Handbags


Ref card happy - going to be a red in this

Watching that tackle again not sure why its not a red when it was last season

It’s a scruffy north London Derby.

The bars higher now apparently

But 14 last night and 7 here in 45 mins.
Looks like it’s fell off the pegs.

Why was only vicario booked and not timber as well. Surely grabbing hold of another player is a standard yellow card

Didn’t watch last night but understand there was hardly any tackle that was that bad to be a yellow

There has been some silly yellows in this game as well

I'd like to see the return to kits lasting 2 seasons. At least the home kits. Save the fans some money and stop wasting resources manufacturing them every year.

The amount of cash clubs actually bring in shirt sales and ticket sales could easily be capped to give the fans better value for money

 

[Arthur Wedge]

That’s poor from Spurs

Arsenal missing a lot here and Spurs not taking advantage

A goal was coming at a corner with the way the GK was constantly flapping

 

[Arthur Wedge]

Well that was pretty comfortable for Arsenal - solid at the back and Spurs couldn’t lay a glove on them , really poor from them to just lumping balls in for the two Arsenal CB’s to clear with ease

 

[Tashyboy]

Yup it was a scruffy game, if I was to describe Spurs. Toothless wouldn’t be far off it.

The club just want to rinse the fans for every penny they can. I buy the exact same shirt from DH gate for £13 that the club sell in the club shop for £80. I’m sure DH gate are making a fair profit but that’s not enough for greedy club owners, they want 1000% more profit.

All about getting as much revenue in as possible to help pay the huge bills and transfer fees

Footballers are stupid though.
Lots for dissent and kicking the ball away.

First look thought Gabriel pushed Romero in the back with both hands just as he was going to jump.
That used to be a foul.

Didn’t seem to be too much in it tbh - surely Romero has to be stronger and GL needed to stop flapping

West Ham don’t have huge bills, they get the stadium and all match day staff for virtually nothing. They are just greedy how else can you explain the abolition of the season ticket concessions for pensioners?
