Got ours done already.
Walcott number 14.. at least that won't draw comparisons with a quittee famous footballer who wore that number before him!
You've just done it so early to get one over on Spurs, haven't you?
Anyway, today we have mostly been linked with ample-toothed Brazilian goal-botherer Ronaldo.
I'm not impressed with the quality of his pointing, never mind his dodgy knee...

ronaldo to hull!?!? u have hit the big time!!
The local radio sports chap discussed it a couple of days ago... apparently his source is the one who said we were signing Juninho last summer. Given that it was only a disagreement on his personal terms that stopped that signing, it would seem to be a reliable source and that would add weight to this latest rumour.
I can't really see it myself, somehow. We'll see.

it'd be a ton of fun for you lot if it does happen...
Hmm... Manchester City have released Giovanni, who we're reckoned to be on the verge of signing. He's got form when it comes to scoring against Manchester United, so I reckon he'll bag us the winner against them in the last game of the season thus clinching us the title.

Man City/Ronaldinho coup...
Unveiled today, available from tomorrow. Ace.
Then all you need are some Premier League badges and a sewing machine.
Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful.

i like it as well....
That would just be asking for trouble, that would.Then all you need are some Premier League badges and a sewing machine.
Meanwhile, it's been confirmed today that Geovanni has signed a two-year deal subject to a medical being passed. I still can't quite get my head around the idea of us signing Brazilian internationals rather than chaps from Colchester United, but having thought about it a bit I'm quite liking the idea.

Business as usual in Italy, it would appear...

Pah no matter if he's not had a call up for a while. He's ace, we're ace and thanks to our lovely new shirts we look ace too.Be fair... former Brazilian internationals
I'm starting to get excited about the new season now.

Looks sharp....I've always liked striped jerseys.
...Here's a trivia question (I don't know the answer btw):
When was the last time a team sporting a striped jersey lifted the First Division/Premier League title?
I can't wait for the season to start...which signings will pan out? How will the newly promoted teams (other than Hull, who are surely headed to Europe/top 6) fare?
An interesting question, and to be honest one I've had to consult the record books to answer. Unless I've overlooked anyone I think it's Sunderland, way back in 1935-36. Cripes!
It's a bit early to say as the transfers have really only just started taking place over the last week. Also, clubs towards the foot of the table are liable to do quite a bit of business late on, as the bigger clubs get their big signings in first and then make available players who then find themselves surplus to requirements.
We're under no illusions that it's going to be a hell of a struggle for us, but I think with the right signings and a bit of luck we can make a fight of it and that's all we can ask. I'm frankly bored of hearing from the 'experts' that we'll break Derby's low-points record from last season
rolleyes – I don't think there's any danger of that and I certainly don't think we'll finish bottom.
very much looking forward to the new season and i gotta say that new hull kit has got me rooting for them already!
new wednesday duds are that: duds.

I must confess I've not yet seen the new Wednesday home shirt I'm right in thinking though that the away shirt is a white affair as opposed to last season's orange?
Indeed it's a return back to the sash style they wore in the 70s/80s. I think they look great, to be honest... we were chatting with some Palace fan in the pub before we played them last season and a couple of the lads had the adidas version (I can't remember which season they said it was exactly, but it was early 80s) and they looked well smart.
A proper classic, that kit.
