Villa experiment quite a lot. They have everything from claret kits with blue trim to claret and blue stripes, and most things inbetween.

The dark blue stripe works in itself (see previous season's effort), but it's got too much going on for me. White stripe (again, ok itself) and big crest (doesn't work at all, imo) with the sponsor (a good one), actual crest and manufacturer's logo on top just make it a cluttered mess. Less is...

The tension here is palpable.

96/97 is our best kit of the 90s in my mind. However, it's up against my favourite kit of all time.

Getting riled again?

They are the Matalanians.

That was so strange, because he'd done exactly the same at Villa. But then, whatever it was that Atkinson may have once had, it had long gone by the time he got to us. I think Lamptey also got badly screwed by his agent.

As sparklingly witty as ever.

Not many. We had a glut of signings in that period that seemed pointless. The two Hondurans, Evtushok, Laurent Delorge, Runar Normann. Even Phillipe Clement, an established international, only played a handful of times. I know Delorge broke his leg soon after signing, and at least he played a...
