I can remember when pre-season games were a big deal and ended with a match at St.Mary's against some elite European side.

I saw a teenage Vincent Kompany playing for Anderlecht one year. I thought he looked promising... I think possibly the only pre-season game I've ever attended didn't involve Saints, it was actually Reading v Newcastle, who had Ruud Gullit in charge and he played in the second half which was quite exciting even though he'd long since retired as a player. He barely left the centre circle, but still his passing range was great. |

Last pre-season game I went to was West Ham before our Championship relegation season. Went 2-0 up and drew 2-2. I realised then I was being charged to watch a training session so wouldn't go to pre-season again!

According to my Facebook Memories 5 years ago we were doing a training camp in the USA. Presumably we had just done the kit deal with
Under Armour who made some decent kits during their tenure. Anyone know why we gave them the bum's rush?

Anyone know why we gave them the bum's rush? Think the deal just expired and we choose Hummel to replace them. I think UA are getting out of making kit for sports teams anyway. Do you think they were decent? The sash and Xerox re-boot were decent but their 3 attempts at stripes (admittedly not the best starting point) were truly awful. They were the ones with the white block across the top which made it look like the players were wearing sports bras and the inexplicable black top third to a striped shirt which was just as bad. Anywhoodles, UA have a hunting subsidiary where they gleefully post pictures on social media of trophy hunter tourists posing next to giraffes that they have just killed so they can get f'kd. (one thing we can both agree on). |
