Sullied probably thought it related to his bank account after raking in record profits since Europe.

Seeing as we have one of the most lob sided squads in the Premiership any help we can get in this regard would be much appreciated...

Are the designs out yet?
Might bring a couple of dozen moody versions with me the next time I fly over.
Got a moody sweat shop out the back of the mud hut you vile excuse of a human being
Was that a statement of proven fact or a question?
People who understand English generally terminate a question with a question mark.
Still, I guess that weeks/months/years waiting to be re-housed from your dilapidated, abandoned Upminster lock-up can cause such lapses, even if you are not really English and English is not your first language.

Well if they pass the dog walking trouser wearing test then it's OK by me.

I certainly very much liked the NB England cricket gear from a handful of years back. I was so impressed I replaced all of my indoor socks with NB ones - AND my dog walking trousers.
Quite the commendation, I'm sure you'll agree.

I just did a bit of looking and quite a lot of Liverpool fans were disappointed when they moved over from NB to Nike. They liked their kits.
The ones that were moaning were the types that just wanted to see the Nike brand on their shirt.
That's a great insight, thanks for finding that. If they prefer New Balance over Nike on all but the branding, that's a good sign. Better to have first-hand experience than me looking at photos of Porto shirts because I didn't like the look of them but this is more promising.
I don't wear football shirts because I'm not a child, but I do like the team to look professional, it certainly has some value.
I DO wear football shirts and I am a child I am also a cսnt.

From the same person who told you on good authority that it would be Kappa and not New Balance?
Kappa will be making next season's kit. NB will be taking over for the 2026/27 season.
Do keep up mate.
Except Kappa won't be making next season kit, will they?

I’ve been told that NB will be releasing special edition WHU trainers, much like Reebok did.
Sounds like a load of Kappa to me.

You can imagine how it went.
"Karrren - new balance have left a voicemail, theyre intetested in making the kit."
"Ah fuck it, they'll do. I'm off to pilates, see you next week"

Based solely on photos of the various NB Porto kits, they don't look great. They hang all funny as though they are too thin and have flimsy necklines.
I don't suppose it really matters, it's just that I wasn't impressed.

The article I read about the New Balance deal didn’t mention those other brands but said we had SNUBBED Castore
Castore are the brand that Villa used where the kits sweated like Michael Jackson at a Primary school so that they became heavy & uncomfortable

That's exactly it. New Balance were the best deal for the Club. I don't believe either made a bid.

Why cant we just be normal and have nike or adidas and a sponsor that is suitable for childrens clothing.
I would guess because they are not paying as much!
The smart money would be on getting the kit on kids as early as possible as that then effectively ties them into the purchasing process for the next 50/60 years.
Given that Sullivan only looks at surviving through to the next season, it's clear that he has no experience in using smart money.
