I must confess seeing this kit didn’t do anything for me just being modelled but on the field it’s a whole new level.
Ordered mine .

That’ll do me a treat .
I was at Villa Park in 1991 for the debut of Bruised Banana kit. I got a lot of flack from passing home supporters and we were treated to a chorus of “what a fucking shitty kit” from the Holte End.
From that day I loved the kit. I loved that it was controversial, that it seemed to infuriate other supporters and that it was so individual. I think I’m going to have the same relationship with this one.

Now we are talking !
The Bruised banana is without doubt the greatest football shirt ever made !
I get quite emotional seeing Wrighty celebrating in this kit .

I’m just surprised you can decipher what those fuckers are saying.

Your distaste for Birmingham is one of the funniest running bits on this site. It can’t possibly be that bad, can it? It’s a pretty big city. It’s not like a burnt-out post-industrial husk is it?

Funny you should say that, Ash. I watched a blue movie while having a black Guinness at the Red Lion.

It’s intrigued me to the point where I kinda want to visit if we ever get back to the UK. Obviously we’d spend time in London but I imagine we’d travel north as the trip goes on so maybe I could see what all the fuss is about.
If you want to go up north, Leeds ain’t bad. Newcastle has some fantastic night life. Rivals a European night out.
If you want to see the Midlands, check out Nottingham.

What I don’t understand is with porno films how come the plumber always turns up on time ? You try getting a plumber to arrive on time ! They are always a week late , never have the right equipment yet in pornos they have a bulging tool bag

And they’ll always work for 61mins so they can charge you for 2 hours.

And they have all their plumbing equipment too.
@DavidHillier I want to see the Lake District to do some running and then go into Scotland, skip Glasgow and try Edinburgh instead and then maybe a non-Dublin city in Ireland.

Glasgow is surprisingly nice. I can recommend Cork or anywhere on the West Coast of Ireland, it’s beautifully, friendly and peaceful.
I stayed in a village and they put Arsenal on whenever they were playing. Glad I took a couple of our kits to wear.
It took some shoehorning to bring it back to the thread topic there.
I did order the away shirt from the Arsenal shop. One of my buddies who went to the match in DC said it looks way better in person.
