Saints Unveil New Kit
The worst kept secret was unveiled by Saints today with the announcement that the 2010 kit would be on sale from 11.25am on Saturday morning.
As expected its basically a copy of the original kit worn in 1885, ie a red sash on a white shirt.
Its hard to be critical of this, its traditional and it looks nice, although pedants will point out that the original kit had the sash going both ways depending on the wearer,but standardised with the direction being left shoulder to right waist, the opposite of this years design.
Apart from that its a nice touch although for me its a little too white an outfit with white shorts and black socks, personally I would have liked to have seen red shorts to give it colour, but thats being picky, it was white shorts in 1885 so they have stuck to historical fact.
As the club graciously informs us they are keeping the cost at £30 for kids and £40 for adults for the tenth consecutive season, whether there will be a repayment plan avaialable for those who havent written this cash outlay into their budget is unclear at time of writing.
What to read next:
Farke complains bitterly about Firpo suspensionWe had a surprise yesterday morning, as we found out that that Junior Firpo had been given a three match suspension as a result of an incident in the match at Millwall. Our manager has complained about the short notice when he was preparing his team to face QPR, and about the FA’s process itself.
Leeds labour to victory over stubborn QPRWe made hard work of winning this game, but we finally put the match beyond Queens Park Rangers with a second goal deep into injury time, sending the visitors to the bottom of the table.
Farke happy with the performance despite defeatDaniel Farke has claimed that his team were excellent last night, but many others disagree, after we failed to get past an organised defence yet again, and Millwall were able to hang on to all three points.
Millwall AwaydazeOn Wednesday night we can once again look forward to another fun-packed visit to Millwall on Sunday with kick off at 7.45. You’ll find the New Den in a really pleasant part of South-East London, but if you’re not heading this way, there is always the option of watching the game live on Sky Sports plus.
Leeds coast to comprehensive win over PlymouthThe goalscoring was confined to an eight minute period towards the end of the first half, but Leeds were so dominant throughout the entire 90 minutes that Plymouth Argyle didn’t manage a single shot on goal.
Bristol City AwaydazeIt will be an early start if you’re making a day trip to Bristol City on Saturday, as kick-off is at 12.30pm, thanks to our very good friends at Sky Sports. You’ll find Ashton Gate about 2 miles to the south-west of the city centre.
Leeds bring in Guilavogui as experienced backupThe club have made a move to bolster the squad by signing 34-year-old Josuha Guilavogui, who can operate in a number of defensive positions. Subject to obtaining a work permit, he will now be with us until the end of the current season.
Farke hails a “Mature performance” against the BladesIt took a while for Leeds to break down a well organised Sheffield United side in this keenly contested Yorkshire derby, but once we’d got the breakthrough from an unlikely source we never looked like surrendering the three points.
