Pre season training pictures

[gene hughes]

There's a touch of the meerkats about Borini isn't there?

 

[LeTallecWiz]

Andy looks ready for pre season, big difference from last year when he looked ready for the pub.

Let's hope he has a great season if he stays with us ... If he doesn't? I hope he wins the scudetto with Milan

 

[Modo]

Can't see Downing in the pictures, so I'm gonna start a rumour that he's still in England and he's having talks with another club.

Found him

 

[Modo]

 

[themn]

Found him

RUN FABIO, RUN AWAY !

THEM TWO IN DANGER YO !

 

[mark1975]

Downing and Carroll together, developing an understanding for next season. Oh.

 

[Mamma Mia]

Who is that balding guy buying drugs in the background?

 

[Modo]

Who is that balding guy buying drugs in the background?

That would be Cole, I think.

 

[irishred]

God damn! Borini's legs are ripped to feck!

 

[Modo]

Now compare it to these legs:

 

[irishred]

tbf no one apart from Beefcake/Sterling compares to Borini's.

 

[Modo]

Is it Woland who thinks Henry is an alien? I'm starting to think that he has a point.

 

[peterhague]

My god that away kit is cheap and nasty.

 

[Judge Jules]

Was just thinking that myself, not for the first time in recent years either. I wonder how much of a say the clubs themselves are given in such matters nowadays.

 

[peterhague]

You wonder if it's really worth the extra £5m a year or so we got from Warrior compared to how it could tarnish our 'brand' in the long term. They look like Vauxhall Conference kits.

Better to take £20m a year from, say, Nike, than £25m from Warrior, perhaps?

 

[Judge Jules]

If the kit was an improvement on this stuff I'd say so, yes.

we've had some terrible kits in our time, they've never tarnished the brand, if we had a terrible home kit too though then i could see were youre coming from

Not the kits as much as the brand. Warrior is unknown. That itself is a sacrifice compared to 'partnering' with Nike or Adidas. If on top of being obscure they're also seen as cheap and nasty, then we look still the worse for the association. It could be a price worth paying, but the compensation has to be right - I'm just wondering aloud if the benefit is greater than the cost.

 

[doctor_mac]

Everyone loves the home kit don't they?

 

[Mystic]

Our homes kits don't look cheap and nasty in the slightest, it looks fantastic, best kit we've had in a while!

 

[mark1975]

I never really liked the away kit from the off, it looks like it should have a cape on the back, so imagine the disappointment when I realised it didn't.

The home one is the bestest one I've seen in a while.

 

[peterhague]

Personally I think the home kit is decent enough. The sponsor should be in white - a red LFC shirt without some white trimming is just wrong to me - and it's safe and inoffensive to the point of boring, but it's clearly the pick of the bunch.

And I know - whinge, whinge, whinge!

 

[OLD_Lewy]

id rather be in our predicament than uniteds, theyve got a decent away kit and a hideous home kit. and i still quite like the 3rd kit

 

[Athens]

That kit is what Father Ted's team should of worn during the all-priests over 75s 5-a-side football challenge.

 

[Mystic]

Borini really looks like the lead singer of Rise Against.

 

[Cerberus]

If the home kit had a fanny I'd fuck it.

 

[Modo]

Nothing to do at work...

 

[LeTallecWiz]

Fabio Borini never had a chance

 

[Athens]

Fabio Borini never had a chance

He'll probably miss...

 

[Modo]

Handsome fella.

Oh-oh...

THAT'S RACIST!!!

It sure is Themn, it sure is...
