Doesnt quite make it into the top 3 drastic kit changes...

 

1. Brazil dropping their all white strip after the shame of losing the 1950 WC "final". They then went onto adopt their famous yellow shirts from 1954 after a newspaper competition.

 

2. Aberdeen going from yellow and black stripes to all red and white in 1940. 

 

3.Leeds Utd changing from blue and yellow combinations to all white in 1960.

 

Anyhoo...RIP Doc.

Cardiff City - blue to red controversially in 2012 but back to blue a couple of years later.

The corrected version:

Everton 2-1 Hammers

Utd 2-0 Villa 

‘Spurs 3-1Leeds

Palace 2-0 Blades

Brighton 2-1 Wolves

WBA 0-2 Arsenal

Burnley 1-0 Fulham

Magpies 2-2 Leicester

Chelsea 2-1City

So’ton 1-3 Liverpool

OGS on the up again. Or is it just because the players have decided to play?

Good photo. You’re younger than I thought you were.

Toffees against City was called off because city had some players out with covid but the rules are if you have 14 players plus a goalie then it shall go ahead different rules for different clubs 

I agree but I suppose there’s a risk that the other guys are infectious and might smit your own players.

Games coming thick and fast.

McLean’s team had a perfect blend similar to that of their fellow citizens twenty years previously.

Prisoners get it easy compared to back in the day, all things go, basic training in the Marines.

 

You go back further than I but Wee Tam was the considered artist of finding a head wearing a Blue jersey. The goalscorers always got the headlines but McLean deserved them just as much. He preferred more of a floated aerial ball, akin to the delivery of a hand grenade from an extremely strong arm....not to mention his ability to pick a pass.

 

McLean would be my corners man if football had gone down the American Football route. 
 

The grenade is another good comparison. I’ve never fired or received tracer but from newsreel pictures, it seems you don’t see the first third of the trajectory and the last third comes in a helluva lot faster than the middle. Perhaps one of the Gallant Members of the board can confirm.

I’m still not certain who put in corners like that. It was from the left. Huistra? Maybe not even a winger. I’ll settle for Johnston. Where’s @compo?

Roofe.

Alex Scott?

Best crosser while on the run at speed I’ve ever seen and that includes Gordon Smith but his corners don’t fit buster’s analogy.

I don’t but I’ll guess:

The trajectory reminds me of being frozen on Dartmoor watching 1 in 1 tracer rounds illuminating the night sky.

They do that to escaping prisoners? 
 

Good description. Somebody else used to put in corners like that. Willie Johnston? Canna mind.

I’d rather have Beaton or even Collum.

Craig Ian heap bad medicine for blue man.

could the gunners go down

Sheffield Utd and West Brom look as if they’ve booked two places so only one more available. On the other hand Allardyce has a good record for keeping teams in the league. Just possible the Arsenal could stumble onto the down escalator.

Arteta said on Friday that things were going to plan. Rotten plan.

Palace stormed - 0-7.
