West Ham V Everton

[paulllambert]

Why are West Ham wearing their third choice kit in a home match?

[Sipowicz]

I was wondering the same!

[-Talbot-]

commercial reasons?

[rodders123]

The others are in the wash

[DTCwordfan]

Because the wussies feel cold?

[-Talbot-]

How is a 3rd choice kit warmer than the normal home kit?

I think they are putting the 3rd kit in the shop window in the hope fans think it is a must to own one.

[Buenchico]

It's not their third choice kit, apparently. It's a 'limited edition' kit:

[ChillDoubt]

As Talbot says, all teams generally have to wear a certain kit a certain amount of times per season as part of their contract with the kit supplier.

[DTCwordfan]

A James Watt note for that - who do they think they are kidding....

[Mick-the-Miller]

The Club ripping off the fans again - in the Program tonight they said they've sold 2000 shirts out of the 4000 in stock, so it hasn't been a success!

Great game but what I did not understand the ref told of the Everton keeper
when the West Ham keeper had been doing all the sledging, during the pen shoot out?

[mastercraft]

Don't understand you Magic.

[magicmick]

Sorry mastercraft it did not come out to clear, during the pen shoot out the West Ham keeper continually had a go at the Everton players before they took the pen, the next thing I see the ref is having a go at the Everton keeper who to me had not done anything wrong, just a bit of a rant mastercraft.

[PankySmooch]

I know what you mean magicmick, something not quite right there

[DaisyNonna]

To show that one dors not need to wear the same clothes to work everyb day? Work? Er, party clothes.

[mastercraft]

Still don't understand. Glad the Irons won!

[magicmick]

Sorry about that mastercraft, I don't think I can explain it any simpler. PankySmooch seems to understand, I suppose now their £50 special edition FA cup strip will get another airing.

To MM - I think the ref was having a pop because he came off his line to do his "unsettling" and was quietly sent back with a yellow card reminder.
Adrian however was dancing along his line quite within the rules (and I'm not a fan of either team but what a great cup tie it was)

[Sipowicz]

mxyzptlk, Adrian started the "unsettling", having words with Naismith as he placed the ball for his penalty. Yes, it was a great cup tie.

[VHG]

Even though West Ham are at home, as it is a cup replay, and the first match was at Everton, are they considered the "home" team.

[Sipowicz]

Everton were the home team in the first game, West Ham United in the replay.
