    That's really funny.

    Which also makes me think that if the guys in charge of the Russia 2018 TV production were making that shirt it would be "10e". All of the umlauts have been excised from their line-ups, which have led to "Oezil" & "Mueller."

    It seems very anachronistic. Perhaps some old Russia-hate-on-Germany thing? And it comes at the same time as Mexico went out of their way to add back their special accents to their shirt names. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/23/insider/mexico-world-cup-spanish-accent-marks.html

    The Nike cleats that I've tried over the years always fit and feel great, but the ones I purchased (for myself or my kids) didn't seem to hold up well - often ripping or tearing by mid-season. How did these hold up for you, Bigman? Not that I can still purchase them, but curious if your experience was better than mine.

    I have a white/grey/red version of those. Love them. I don’t play much anymore so they are still in great shape.

    I noticed that my boots lasted longer due to the amount of studs up tackles I started doing as I got older and more bitter at the younger more talented players.

    https://www.footyheadlines.com/2017/12/arsenal-18-19-third-kit.html

    TWO SHORT DAYS until the new Arsenal 2018-19 third lit is officially released, and both my PayPal account and also both my 10 GBP and 15 USD gift cards are ready to score me the latest third kit, then after I get it, I have to do my downloads of myself in all 4 of this season's kits.

    And, yes there will also be your obligatory photo gallery showing off the new third kit and its mailing packing from Arsenal Direct, so plenty of pics of it (not too many, yes I know @NorthBank, I'll keep the amount of pics down this time) to show the detail of it.

    And yet, they haven't done it.

    I may go see a game in September - the Armory does printing, right? Will they print the umlaut over the zero?

    Well, here it is the 13th, and the third kit STILL hasn't been released yet. I'm almost out of money, as I had to get both a loan from a friend of mine and a payday loan to get by this month, after it ran me $450.00 (remember I only get $873.00/month) to get my 2002 New Beetle GLS repaired, as it had an overheating issue in Seattle two Saturdays ago when I last played as AK47 downtown at The Rendezvous, (and yes, I DID play "Arsenal" as well as "[Tottenham Hotspur] You'll always be shit" and I intend to play both again in my set list tomorrow night at The Blue Moon Tavern in the U-District) as well as the A/C wasn't blowing cold air, sure enough we found the culprits of the two issues, both related to not only burnt wiring into the battery, but also an inoperative cooling fan, and a couple of burnt'out fuses. I hope to see some of you fellow Gooners down there tomorrow night!!!

    ...and if you thought I could put out good shit, check out Fantasy A, this guy (his real name is Alexander Hubbard) is autistic, and yet he makes everything work out well for him, despite that!!! Check out his YouTube channel at

    https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9TpYjhSMZuTYpcwMGFJOMg

    and his announcement of our upcoming show tomorrow night!!! COYF'n'G!!!

    They do, but I doubt they'll have umlauts, unless they have some extra Lextra material lying around, or whatever they use for numbers these days.

    Agree with you that they’re missing a trick. Seems so obvious after somebody had the brilliant Instagram idea. I haven’t bought a jersey in years, but I’d be all over that.

    Just checked in with Arsenal Direct, here it is, 5 days after the alleged date that the third jersey would drop and still no kit!!! C'mon, man!!!

    My $15 gift card and my 10 GBP gift card I got from buying the other kits (the home and GK kits, and the away kit, each in those described 2 separate orders) STILL await the drop of the kit, I'm looking to do the same thing as Auba did against Boreham Wood last week when we drubbed them 8-nil...... SCORE!!!, and a hat trick of a deal at that, considering I will be saving a TON of dough on the kit when I place my order!!!

    The new third kit is out.

    It has a Wonder Woman/Whataburger/Weezer/old-school WWF pattern on the front which I hadn't noticed before.

    This stuff cracks me up, too.

    Our new shirt features a ‘W’ engineered into the shirt. The ‘W’ represents the attacking part of the famous WM formation introduced in the 1930s by Arsenal legend Herbert Chapman and is directly linked to the ‘M’ graphic from our new away shirt.​

    I already ordered it and, yes, I DID use BOTH of my gift cards, so after the massive $30.00 USD discount (a $15 USD card and a 10 GBP card) it only cost me $70.00, and, yes, I picked it up from Arsenal Direct. It should be here by late next week.

    Pics to come, and then, I can finally do those downloads of myself in them (with matching street gear of course! :) )

    I would like to see a team play the 3-2-2-3.

    The Red Bulls often play a 3-3-3-1, which looks like a 3-2-2-3 in the attack at times.
