I really don’t care about the white kit

It doesn’t matter a jot to me. At a time when people have suggested boycotts and petitions, I’m afraid I can’t find it in me to care quite so much about a kit we will wear half-a-dozen times next season.
But the picture you see above is the most convincing image of the kit to appear to date. The lower picture shows you a close-up of the Herbert Chapman label – a slightly naughty attempt to con us into believing this is a “special” kit. You have to wonder if they would even have brought Chapman into it had there not been so much uproar.
As for proper football news, there isn’t a huge amount about. Gael Clichy has come third in our Player of the Year competition – I’d expect Robin van Persie, Cesc Fabregas, and Gilberto to occupy the final three positions, probably in that ascending order. I can’t help but wish they started from right at the bottom. I’d love to know who got the least votes…
The Sun has a couple of interesting transfer tidbits: Bakari Sagna, a powerful right-back, has been linked with a £6m move, whilst Milan are interested in Thierry Henry. Well, I’d have no objection to Sagna’s arrival – I remain unconvinced by both Hoyte and Eboue.
As for Thierry…? Well, of course, I want him to stay. But these stories are not fanciful: there are direct quotes from people high up Europe’s top clubs declaring their interest. Once the Spanish season is over, we could have a real fight on our hands.
If Henry and a couple of new signings are playing in a successful team next season, it won’t matter what colour they’re wearing.
