    I''m gutted for Pink Un Pete and all the other journo scumbags, think of all the headline gold his name would provide

    "Klose your eyes!" - unorthodox headering technique marrs World Cup stars City debut

    "Klose to you!" - German ace in post-match interview formality outburst

    "Move Klose!" - German flop rejects Lamberts loan plan to recapture fitness

    I was always an appreciator of David Phillips, he of the "rocket shot from range" fame. Hours I''d spend hocking a ball against a wall, spinning around and taking the rebound on my thigh then blasting it as it dropped right on me laces - the sweet spot - and sending it rocketing into/over/through the neighbours fence.

    Anyway, Phillips is long gone and so are the laces as I now sport croc skin cowboy boots pretty much 24-7. Kitted out in said boots, I was helping a MILF locate a lost dog at Eaton Park the other day I strayed towards the edge of a football pitch. Some kids were playing ball and a cross missed their target man and drifted into my path.

    Sensing the ghost of David Phillips whispering welshly "hit it boyo" into my good ear, I forgot the dog, lengthened my stride and absolutely WALLOPED that football as hard as I could with my instep. My technique, dormant for all those years, was perfect. My posture kept that badboy within UK airspace and I swear the ghost of David Phillips whispered "textbook, pal" as that ball absolutely sang its way into the top corner of the goal.

    The nine year old in nets never stood a chance. The rest of the kids stood and applauded as one, as I sprinted arms wide roaring Tardelli style around the perimeter of the pitch. What a glorious moment to be alive for all that witnessed such a grade A pearler. I knew the split second lesson of perfect technique and an eye for the outlandish had taught these kids far more than any so called PE teacher or junior sports coach ever could. MW 1 - The Man 0

    My reverie was spoilt when the MILF came over to tell me she''d found the dog, dazed and whimpering, curled up on a pile of coats in the back of the kids goalmouth. Form is temporary, class is permanent.

    Tell me about your specacular goals fellow pinkunista''s. Any format (indoor, 5 a side, power league) except computer game format. We''re talking strictly real life.

    Signed for Lazio lat night...I was at the press conference and although my German isn''t as good as it used to be, I think this is what he said re: the Norwich speculation.

    "I''m many pleased to sign with Der Lazio, as they wanted me to be ich....not as other *little* Englander clubs talk about making me push on a wheel. What... wheel is on the pitch? (laughs) nein, I top score in Cup of Worlds, I not ein Hamster. Ich bin a Goalscorer (against massively inferior international opposition, including England). Danke mein herr und frauleins. Gollazzzo!"

    Looks like Lamberts mindgames have pushed him over the edge.

    [quote user="milehighcanary"]I''d have to say that the only kit I find aesthetically pleasing is the 2010-2012 kit. The rest.....burn ''em.

    And what was going on in the early ''90s?  Horrendous design ideas...I''m having flash-backs! And to be honest, I think the kit took a little of the shine off of Jeremy Goss'' brilliant goal against Bayern. I''m sure people watch that clip and say, "wow, great goal; but what a hideous jersey!"

    And as for the kit designs between 1927 - 1947, I feel like I''m playing the game, "Which one of these is not like the others?"

    Great link. Thanks!

    You are wrong, completely out of line. Our late 80''s early 90''s kits were pioneering efforts and the asics design really set the bar. You are being monumentally disrespectiful to Barry Ribero who poured his heart and soul into that classic, iconic design. Gossy himself loved it so much he commissioned John Lewis to print 800m2 of it onto their finest quality wallpaper stock (still a few rolls available if you ask under the counter, Gossy''s long since sold the house)

    If this wasn''t an internet forum and we were discussing this in a pub you''d now be wearing a bar stool with pint glass trim, sponsors logo would be your own blood.

    to be honest I cannot remember him making any meaningful contribution to anything other than...

    1) chasing around aimlessly like a child chasing bubbles from one of those toy lawnmowers v Colchester in the 7-1

    2) doing a quite long throw v Millwall last year - "...our Delap" - button it Goreham

    3) getting bevvied early doors and looking 20 seconds away from whiteying throughout the League 1 end of season dinner, and he was wearing a waistcoat.

    "I placed the ball on the spot, Hooper thought I''d hit it my usual side, he thought wrong"- Dave Phillips describing his pen at Carrow Road vs Liverpool 1992/3Its not the quote so much, if you''ve seen the clip on the season review VHS, its the fact he speaks in EXACTLY the same know-it-all voice as the IT nerd in The Office (you know the one). Lovely arrogance.

    can you please ban the MONSTER on my row who turns up 1 minute before kick off, looking like a messed up Fred Flintstone, and immediately opens one of them foil bags and chomps his way through a COOKED CHICKEN (Morrisons) spraying grease, gristle and gravy over all and sundry. Massive hands just shovelling bird into his grid, I swear to god he even eats the elastic band thingy. MONSTER.

    Could you not try & talk him into eating something healthier? For instance one of his five a day could be a delicious cucumber from Germany . . . . I suppose that could be killing two birds with one stone.

    ARF. Can you deep fry or roast a cucumber?

    Aye. Bullards a Pirlo/Fox type. Hardly moves around just stands in the middle pinging one touch passes and getting the play going. I believe the Eyetalyun Footbalista''s call this a ''Regista''.

    Me, I call it the ''Pingy Crab Role''. He looked a top class Pingy Crab in the 0-2 Hull game early in the season.

    Lambert did play 4-4-2 for his first few games until Wes was available) Holt and Cureton upfront with Lappin and McVeigh wide, Smith and Russell in the middle. It solidified things but was easily nullified, see the 0-0 home draw with Walsall for proof of static, lumpen football, no fluidity, movement etc.

    Our current setup is very similar to Ancelotti''s Milan 2003-2007. For the deep lying passer Pirlo we have Fox. Gattuso/Crofts ball winners, Seedorf/Surman the continuity man on the left, Wes/Kaka with the Attacking Mid role, Crespo/Holt as the more physical ariel focal point/pure goalscorer up front, Jackson/Shevchenko as the advanced forward who moves left right and centre and has the pace to keep the backline on its toes.

    I agree we need various options and a depth to the squad, but for all his qualities (pace, trickery) there''s a reason why MacNamee doesn''t start games. He''s just not as good a footballer as any of our other midfielders.

    and the mad urgent need to sign ''out-and-out wingers, with pace''

    I may be a stubborn old fool but even I can see that 4-4-2 is dead. Everyone plays a variation on 4-5-1 (Think Everton with Cahill behind a striker), 4-3-3 (Chelsea under Mourinho), 4-2-3-1 (Germany and Spain in World Cup).

    The name of the modern game is possession, having some complicated haircutted tit bomb up and down the wing only to twot the ball behind for a goal kick or straight into a defenders mekon forehead/goalkeepers hands is no gameplan. Its Keegan-esque gung ho foolishness, was well out of date in 1996 and would see us get slaughtered, giving away possession way too easily.

    I get so much more joy out of seeing our midfielders do some one touch shenanigans with their fullback and create a 2 vs 1 than Lee Croft striding down the wing.

    Keep the ball, work up the pitch, overload midfield areas, have one striker come short/wide the other go long time, this is what we saw last season and simply put if there were any proper quality wingers out there (Pennant, Etherington, Jarvis or that Johnson at Man City) we won''t afford them or go and bin the Surman/Fox/Crofts/Hoolahan axis of doom to have Jimmy ''First Touch'' Kebe ping balls at the luminous crew behind the River End.

    Xabi''s not Sintons.
