Agree with Col when he suggested Tuesdays home performance was up there with one of the most complete in living memory, but then tried to compare the current players with those assembled by Hilly in our last venture into league one a few years ago. How many of the current players would have featured in that team and what would a combined team look like? This is my choice and can include loan players.
Logan Wiseman Tanser Dawson O'Connell Jones Allan Lund COG Done Henderson
So 7 current players in the combined team, i wrestled with Tanser over Kennedy and Jones over Dawson. Jones of that era drove the team and scored nearly 20 goals so that swayed it and it's still early days for Dawson but he looks the real deal.

Speaking of kits, what were the ref shorts all about in the Champs Lge?
Yeah. Mental. It was distracting, refs should never have light shorts because they start to look like players. No, I dont know why, they just do. Must be subliminal.

Bloody hell, its not rocket science. Nobody has had Heaton and Daggers they didn't play for us in league one!! Whilst we are at it and you mentioned the word 'embarrassing' what does 'yorsrlf' mean??
Anyway, I would imagine the majority are getting a bored of this childish spat between you and me so give it a rest, I think we both know our feelings regarding each other.

When I was your age, I used to enjoy the odd game of tennis. Or was it golf?

There are some similarities between the kits, which are apparent and thus it comes down to a personal choice. But details might make the difference.
Lack of stripes: much debate amongst the masses when they disappeared this year, but we have an effective strip which adheres to the blue & black theme. In fact the absence of white trim is a bonus on this front as the kit remains somewhat unique throughout the league and not another yet blue outfit. Some forget we faced a similar situation in 10/11 when the Carbrini shirt had black pinstripes. Pinstripes are not stripes, if they were West Brom fans wouldn't be so irate. So we had a predominantly blue shirt then too, albeit with black arms.... which only work with such a design and never with stripes. This season's shirt wins.
Shorts, blue v white: Again it's down to preference, but with the added issue of tradition. Dale should have white shorts, but this season's kit does look good as a whole unit, rather than analysing the individual components as is often the case. That said, the white shorts of the 10/11 version were pleasantly plain with minimal trim (as shorts should be, see last season's away shorts for a jigsaw puzzle of a monstrosity), and they'd work perfectly well with this year's shirt, so they sneak through.
Socks, do they matter?: of course they do and if there are ever any hooped ones available as an option, they triumph. The socks of 10/11 included a turnover, which rarely fails if it mirrors the shirt, which it did that year (see 08/09 for when it didn't). However, there was one of those silly stripes down the side of the socks during our first season in L1, which was both unnecessary and cluttersome. Is that a word? It should be. This season's socks.
So there you have it. And you did ask.
A fine reply, im in full agreement with the hooped socks they're a winner

Quite, music's always better when it shocks. Bloomin pooftas
Mick Ronson's a hero in Hull. They used to honour him with this. Not anymore though, his memorial is now a slab of concrete outside this, and the caff's now called Huckleberry's.

There's something brilliant about one of the queens of glam being from Hull and fitting that he's got a cafe as a memorial. Better than a crappy statue. I think it was Karl Marx who said statues are good for nothing but gathering bird shit. Didn't stop the commies though erecting shite loads of statutes of him. Marx not Mick Ronson. Died tragically young and his role in Bowie's career doesn't get the acknowledgement it deserves. Ronson not Marx. Cool as fook and great guitarist. Never heard Marx play guitar and he had a shite beard. So Ronson not Marx.

All six of them are almost certainly gently ribbing you amongst themselves as they look down this morning.
