Does anyone actually sit next to him?
Don't sit next to me wearing that shirt, XIII.
I don't understand – I can't see a shirt in that picture?I always liked this one from Manchester United. I wish they still played in it

In the pub beforehand he stands out a bit its fair to say. It hurts my eyes to look at the shirt.
Hold on. I'll move the crowdI don't understand I can't see a shirt in that picture?

Hisssss!! Boo! Damn that kit!
If we're embarking on the Football Kit Hall of Shame, then Coventry's brown effort of yesteryear surely must warrant a mention...
Lovely.

Lovely.
It goes well with the Orange Afro I think.
A few from Norwich should always be included.
Or even an effort from Brighton...
But on quite the opposite note, how nice is this? Love it.
This will either prove to be a very good thing or a very bad thing. Personally, I'm on the side of cautious optimism.
On a side note - just looking at your badge, and with the nickname ... its so American ...
I do like that one, actually – quite elegant and understated. I'd like to hear XIII's views.
Cheeky bugger! To be fair, we do play football like an American side but we don't have anywhere near as much money.On a side note - just looking at your badge, and with the nickname ... its so American ...
I think its a very nice kit, but its the wrong ****ing colour. How stupid can Nike and Arsenal be to make our away shirt the colour of our bitterest rivals?
Also, seen the third kit?
As ArseBlogger says: "I have to say I much prefer to the white one which, while a smart looking kit, is not an Arsenal kit because white kits are for ****s."

Not necessarily white away kits can look very splendid if worn by a great team and players of panache and flair, as this image proves.
Hes right you know... Hey, a photo for you as well Jaffa.
Hawley's famous Afro... Bet he doesn't use that at Preston.
and for Jaffa...

Thanks for that he'll get to wear our new splendid away shirt next season, albeit in the reserves I fear.
Shame, did really well for us. That was our League 2 promotion party. Dare say we would have got in the play-offs this season with his help. Not to worry tho.
Different reasons for different folks, I suppose. For some it might be the adrenaline rush mentioned in the AWIMB piece that you posted, for others it's maybe the sense of belonging that they get from being part of a huge crowd. There's also perhaps something a bit tribal about wearing certain colours and following the representatives of your city or nation as they take on those strange folk from elsewhere. In the olden days you'd set out to pillage another settlement, now you go off to play them in the Johnstons Paint Trophy.
Personally, I get caught up in the game and if we're losing (this happens quite often ) I get quite agitated because I can't stomach the thought of us losing to whichever bunch of cheats/timewasters/ner' do wells/southerners (delete as applicable) happen to be playing at the time. It's a bit of a pride thing I suppose, like not wanting to grudgingly admit 'Yep, actually you're right you're better than us'.
On occasions where you've been outplayed by a better team (this happens quite often, too ) you can hold your hands up and say fair enough, they earned that, but when you've gone behind to a dodgy goal or are experiencing extreme gamesmanship from an opponent, when the goal goes in to equalise or, even better, to snatch the lead from them it's a fantastic feeling, you feel totally vindicated and that right has prevailed.
That, and because I look fantastic in amber.

The "new" Arsenal cannon is horrible. I liked the old one. A classic like Norton or Triumph motorbikes. Their logos are really old but don't date. This cannon looks craps yesterday, today and tomorrow.
Any Arsenal fans miss having an English player by the way? I'm just wondering. I'd lose interest if we were invaded like Arsenal has. By reports Wenger's habits aren't shifting re new signings either. I thought this year teams had to have a small number of home-grown players in the team or is it the squad? If it's the team and with Hoyte and Walcot being "foreign" ie English and therefore to be avoided, they wont get much of a look in. So who's so good an English player that even Wenger will play him and not just field him to fill the UEFA imposed quota? Nugent would be my choice. Inexperienced and gifted but no track record of succeeding. Sounds perfect for AW.

One name possessing the required quality and verve immediately springs to mind, but we finally signed him on a permanent deal earlier today so it looks like the Gunners have missed out...
Dean Windass? He's ****e! The fat get. When Bradford came over here all he did was fall over and shout.
So he's real! I thought Shittu and Butt was bad. I suppose a reunion with Becks in the MLS is closed to Butt as his life would be unbearable there.
Indeed he is, I've seen him with my own eyes so I can vouch for that. And despite what his name might suggest to you, he's no stinker – when we got him back in on loan last season it was like a breath of fresh air.
