Apart from when Georgie Best was in town
Georgie was never in town, he always was at the bar.

Or on its way to the bar (or back but he couldn't remember)

I was thinking of putting together a N&G NCAA bracket pool. Would any of you guys be interested? I would set up an private NCAA Tournament Challenge Group. $3 per bracket? Gauging internet. Let me know. Thanks!

That’s sick! Now you just need to get it printed with Tielmans on the back

Go on, geezer.
Are there places in the states that will do that? I’m only familiar with places that letter hockey jerseys.

I actually have no idea. There probably is but it might not be worth it or, will cost about the same price you paid for the shirt. Tielmans is probably gone next summer anyways so maybe not worth it in the long run?

Go on, geezer.
I keep reading where he might not be back with Leicester. I’ll have search to see if there are places that do lettering. I’d be surprised if there wasn’t.

Go on, geezer.
I will say this XL runs much bigger than my Liverpool Nike XL.

Adidas kits are always the largest kits out of all the manufacturers.

Generally over here any sports shop that sells kits has a printing machine for doing that. Equally it’s really odd for someone over the age of 12 to have a players name on their shirt here too but each to their own

I’ve seen other Europeans say this but over here it’s preferred to have a name on a shirt if you can. I think it’s like a status symbol or a bumper sticker on your car type thing.Generally over here any sports shop that sells kits has a printing machine for doing that.

Ah where as here it’s kiddies idolising their favourites and once you get past that it’s seen as a bit cringe. I do have a retro kit that came with a number 7 on it but no name, it was from the 80s though so I suppose it was before squad numbers and names on kits. If there had been an option of no number I’d totally have picked that!
Also more recently most people I know are getting pretty sick of the deluge of bollocks on social media from the individual fc lot, it’s becoming a little bit of a bridge too far for local fans in terms of our wider international support. The Martial FC and Pogba FC brigade can take a short walk off a tall cliff!

I don’t know what the unwritten rules are here but I know there are folks who outgrow wearing any jersey at all when they hit their 30’s and sometimes 40’s.
I mostly wear things around the house while watching a game or games on tv.
I’m going to a local match on Saturday so I might wear something, haven’t decided.
I will say that the last handful of jerseys that I have bought have been blank and they’ll most likely stay like that.

Ah it’s all good. We’re just shit this year. Atletico came to spoil and we’re not good enough to overcome it. It was a really poor game though and the referee bizarrely seemed to completely lose his head in the second half, not that anything of consequence came from it either but it’s weird to see a referee seem utterly bewildered lol.
Great result for you tonight! Enjoy!

Yeah great result but definitely not a good match. Ajax had the ball during 97 minutes and Benfica basically had one opportunity to score, and they did. We played à la 2004 Greece national team. Let's see what come next. We can have a chance to go to the semi-finals if we play with Juventus or Villareal but the other teams will destroy us (especially Bayern Munich or Man City). Anyway, with the shitty season we have and all the drama, a quarter final is already very good.
