Red & White Stripes

[mancunianblade]

Just seen the PL table and seeing Stoke and Soton in the bottom 3 and looking all but certs for the drop got me thinking have red and white stripes been present in ever PL season. And between us, Soton, Stome and Sunderland they have..

So loosely linking this to the blades side of the forum we have to get promotion even if it’s just to keep the red and white spirit alive.

Taking a second to reflect I think I found this more interesting that I should have..

Be a lot of opportunities to use our second and third kits next season.

Don’t let the pigs know there will still be a blue and white striped side up there, they will be claiming that!

Ah, the old red and white stripe legend.

Says that if there is no team in the PL with red and white stripes then there never will be again!

True story.

It's down to us now.

What you've done here is you have given Brentford the incentive to get into the play offs ahead of us, storm through the semi final and final to be the sole representative in the PL to sport the famous red and white stripes.

Funnily enough I completed a number of season predictors earlier must have done 4 or 5 and everyone resulted with Brentford sneaking in at the back post and finishing 6th.

Whilst everyone from 5th to 9th seems to be ducking about fighting each other Brentford have a far more favourable run in

Bert went to Wembley last Sunday to see a team in red and white stripes win.

Well the tramps would seem to suggest de striping your shirt can make you shite. Expecting them to be in all blue again next year too

they don't count ffs.. they were shite anyway
edit: i'm not advocating getting rid of the stripes.. i sometimes wonder if the Zebra effect comes into play though

No team in striped shirts has won the league since Sunderland in 1936.
