That would indeed be sensational, especially when you consider Arsenal's kit is now made by Puma.

Merger Talk
So. Two clubs became one. In the meantime, fans developed split personalities.

Synthetic surface and club marketing
They are used in the champion's league. I wouldn't call that a diddy competition. A number of 'top' clubs play on hybrid pitches, and some were used in the 2010 world cup. Sao Paulo is a hybrid pitch this world cup. And I hope your next sh!te is a hedgehog. Still enjoying that Jethro Tull album?

This is a wind-up, right? Or do you commute to work by horse-and-cart.

As champions, Celtic will have a home game first up. St Mirren Home (groundhog day!) would do me.

I have no football experience or coaching credentials, but Butcher had to go. Hibs spent the last couple of months needing 1 win to avoid relegation and they couldn't do it. They then only had to defend a 2-0 lead at home in the play-off and again they didn't do it. He took a team on the brink of the top 6 to be relegated, with the lowest total of points earned in the division. He had presided over a train-wreck and apparently lost the dressing room. In football, past accomplishments are overshadowed by recent performance, and Butcher under-performed big time. The fact that Butcher is now considered a Hearts legend says it all. Simple decision really.

New Home Shirt 2014-15
Joe Bendik, TFC current keeper wears #12 and previous first choice goalie Stefan Frei wore #24, even Julio Cesar wore #30. Chris Konopka, the 3rd choice keeper wears #1 !!! Strangest number at TFC was 96 worn by Jeff Cunningham who had scored 96 MLS goals when he signed for TFC. He only scored 3 goals for us in 2007/08 to take him up to 99 but was traded after missing a goal-line sitter that have taken TFC to the Concacaf Champions League group stage. I have never seen any fans with #96 at TFC !!!! Think he went to a 'normal' number after that .... In 2011 he wore 33 for Columbus but now apparently on trial for a team in Vietnam after a stint with the San Antonio Scorpions. Only other weird number fact seems to be that TFC has had 4 players wear the #13 shirt including current captain Steven Caldwell. Hicham Zerouali wore #0 (Zero) at Aberdeen. Derek Riordan wore #1 when he first signed for Hibs as #9 and #10 were both taken (Fletcher/Nish) Ossie Ardiles wore #1 at the 1982 World Cup (numbers were allocated alphabetically - except for Maradona's) Mexico's Jorge Campos liked to wear #9 as he started as a striker Lizarazu wore #69 at Bayern (claimed it was because of his year of birth - 1969, and height - 1.69m) Victor Baia wore #99 in the Champions league for Porto Riordan actually wore 01 (10 backwards). I am sure you can all make up your own jokes..

How'd that work out for you, eh Owain? Glad you wanted something different from the SPL - Hibs have delivered that in spades for you next season,

Different clubs announce their new kits at different times. To be fair, doing at a different time will maximise exposure, which will be to the benefit of club, shirt sponsor and kit manufacturer.

Prices from the top league of our closest European neighbour: There are many next door who do not consider themselves to be part of Europe...

Is this the result of downsizing? Is our bench going to filled with 12 inch tall people next season? The joke comes from the fact Subway, a sandwich chain, are our new sponsors and they advertise their product as 'subs'. Thanks. No Really.
