Good luck trying to get tickets unless you're part of a membership of any of those clubs you've got no chance. :(

Should be an interesting year this year...

Can united cope without Ronaldo

Can Liverpool mount an even stronger challenge if Torres and Gerrard stay fit

How will Chelsea's 10 millionth new manager do

What can Man City achieve

Should be close IMO, don't want to predict the champions yet

Our new home shirt is, well, different. Don't know yet if I like it or not.

I think its horrible, the old red one was far better IMO.

[Martyn]

Everton's is the funniest I have seen...

HAHAHAHAHA :D

[Subject Delta]

Holy hell that really is horrible :laugh:

Edit: Whoever voted for Portsmouth to win the league is brave, I admire their enthusiasm :p

[Kralik]

[Shibby]

Thank you sooooo much!

Did you guys see the new Bolton "Home" kit?

Do they really plan on wearing this in front of their home crowd? That looks disgusting!!! What's going on this season with the kits?

But then.. Villa "Away" shirt is almost like our 3rd kit..

Thats nice.. :yes:

And I have mixed thoughts about Rovers "Away" shirt..

Does anyone have the A4 size Premiership Calendar?

[nothuman]

I do, but only for Man Utd. ;)

Kenny is home :)

Kenny Dalglish is to return to Liverpool FC, it was confirmed this afternoon.

Dalglish will assume a senior role at the Liverpool Academy and will also act as a Club ambassador working with the commercial side of the business around the world.

Managing Director Christian Purslow commented: "In our very first meeting Rafa and I agreed that we wanted to try and bring Kenny back to the club to help Rafa really drive forward our Academy which is at the heart of our plans for the future. We are delighted he has agreed to join us and I am sure he will be very successful in his new role back at the club."

Chelsea away strip is horrible.

Man Utd strip is horrible as well.

As someone else has already said what is going on with some of the strips this season? :laugh:

[Mike]

Anyone claimed the luminous yellow kit for next season? Chelsea, Man City and Wigan have had their turn, who gets it next? :p

[Subject Delta]

That Chelsea away strip is horrendous.

[Shibby]

The chelsea home blue kit seems fine, but the away kit, it just needs a chav wearing it with a baseball cap....

I'm not sure about what Pomepy are doing, I remember not long ago we got fined by the league for changing the design. A club can only make the changes after a certain time period after the last change (so the fans don't have to keep forking out money) So we may end up with the same strip, not that it's a bad strip.

***Edit*** Just looked at the pomepy site, the 08/09 kit seems to be like ?5, perhaps they want to get rid of stock!

[Martyn]

The Chelsea away kit reminds me of an old Inter kit from years back.
