Couldn't agree more with this. Excellent post.
-
I think we could end up with something like the Salford City crest if i'm honest. Which would suck.

Where the f*** do you live, the Serengeti?

I see what you mean by simple, and I don't disagree with that, but I think we need more than just a Lion. I just scanned the PL and football league crests and (arguably, some are a bit wonky) 13 teams had a Lion included in some capacity. Of course there are nuances about how they are displayed, but my point is that when someone says 'that team, you know the one with the cockerel standing on a ball', you think Tottenham, because... well, unique. When someone says 'that team with the Lion', they are not going to necessarily think of us. In fact they are, according to most of the sources I've just googled, more likely to think of Chelsea. We'd know, obviously, but the crest is supposed to be a symbol that encapsulates us, and projects our singular image. No one else has the golden arches. Let's be unique. And not shit, obviously.

'Cack nosed s**t-wizard'.....my word what an image.

Is there a link to this survey? Can't find it on the official website.

That's what they did last time mostly.

What the baby sick blue one? That is the shittest crest in the PL by a country mile. And I still have to gag vomit at it every weekend on MOTD.

Weeeeeellllll. Was the rebrand that bad? The majority of fans thought not. The biggest issues have been with the kit, the selection, manufacture and roll out of which have been almost disastrous. When was the last time a kit has actively made the papers for non-football reasons like our kit (and in particular the WPL use of it) has?

But this was after Heck was appointed, so it is Heck who is not 'listening to the will of the fans', and 'wasting the club's money' with supporter consultations? Fwiw I think Heck will do OK, but I very much agree with the part in bold. I've said before, I quite like the rebrand, and I just wished they'd actually, you know, done it. I don't see the point of another one, if it is just going to be countermanded by Heck, rightly or wrongly.

Milner on the Brighton bench for the Ramsey goal is doing his fruit in at the space they gave us in the run up. Keeps saying 'How?'

I keep seeing comments regarding 'stealth' and 'going under the radar' as the preferred MO. I don't disagree as such, but I'm not sure our marketing dept. would want it like that. We're after more fans, especially with the upcoming increased ground capacity. Maybe I have this wrong, but I don't see how you can consistently challenge by 'going under the radar'. In the end you run out of money, cos no f***er wants to buy your merch.

Did I miss something? I thought they implemented the crest with the most votes?

I think their best investment in January would be more vowels.

I actually think it might be the best evidence for a lack of corruption, actually. I mean does anyone think it is even remotely possible that Levy would spend money on bribing officials? He's so tight his players have to stump up 50p to put in the machine that washes their socks. Of course that just means the officials are absolutely rubbish.

The same ones he used when he refused to play Grealish until he moved to a 'big club'. 'Of course Ollie's game improved massively under the stewardship of Ten Hag after he moved to Man United. Yes he played 4 times in a team that finished 14th, but his movement has come on leaps and bounds. He just gets in ahead of Danny Welbeck this time'.

I've said before that giving refs the ability to delegate responsibility to VAR that has degraded the quality of officiating. Refs have become risk averse, and they are now in a constant game of 'pass the responsibility' with the VAR guys.
-
I feel like we can give them a proper spanking this year. And I reeeeeally reeeeally want to see Bruno's face all distraught at the final whistle after we've put 7 past them.

So can we rename the Doug Ellis Stand the 'Unai Emery Masterclass Rolls Royce Stand' yet? See, it even has some sponsorship mcgubbins in there!

I've been away this weekend so missed this one unfortunately. I'm delighted with that result. Brighton were bang in league form before yesterday, but much like us struggled in the league and Euro competitions. They are a cracking team and I expected us to drop points at the very least. That we responded so well to our recent disappointments, while Brighton failed to get going is a testament to Unai. I respect Brighton and Di Zerbi a lot. But Unai is next level.
-
Brighton are a proper team. Think we'll struggle today, but that said we seem to do OK against the better teams so hopefully we can get something. Hope Mitoma has the flu or something today.
-
While I agree with the attitude, you only have to see how we've done when we rotate away from our first team. It's realistically very very hard for all but the richest teams to assemble a squad with depth at the quality we'd need to take on the first teams of other sides, who may be prioritising a particular competition. You can't win 4 trophies with a squad of 13 or 14 first team quality players, you just can't. Recent results after losing folk to injuries show that that's where we're at. At the end of the season those 14 players would crumble to f***ing dust.

Just put TEKKERS in big red (claret) letters on your wall using a ragged paint brush. I did. 10ft high. Of course the neighbours would have preferred if I'd used an interior wall.

Yeah, I subscribe to that too, it's great. I don't tend to do the vertex one or the tile mosaic one, but the crosswords (Monday ones when I'm tired and feeling thick), Bee, and the fairly new box one are the favourites.
