This Season's Football top talking points

A new football season has started. This means its time again to make irritating comments at the weekends during match of the day to annoy my brother: "Why is that goal keeper wearing a hat?" "Whats with his hair?" "Why is that manager always chewing gum?" "Whats the offside rule again!" (jokes I of course know the offside rule perfectly). But anyway, Its always an exciting time for me. However, for most girls the start of a new season is a non-event. I am sure none of my friends could for example name a team promoted to the premier league this year or know which team Van Persie has just (regretfully) signed with. Its sad to be a girl and realise you have no-one to talk about football with. There is always more than just shots on targets, penalty decisions and player transfers to chat about in football so I've complied a list of this seasons top talking points (for girls).

1. Whose got the best team kit
This is always important. No-one wants to support a team with an ugly kit. This season for example why did Aston Villa think Toxic Green was the way to go for their away kit. I'm sure practically every team has tried it and no it still doesn't work. As far as home kits go one of the main mysteries in football is still yet to be solved: how to tell Aston Villa and West Ham United apart. Yes they both play in Maroon shirts with blue sleeves. No i can't see any difference either.

A big talking point is Man United's new home kit. They have gone for a checked red and, er, darker red shirt. Personallly I quite like it, the shades of red are honestly too similar for the check pattern to stand out too much but it adds a bit of interest to an otherwise boring shirt. Apparently it has been majorly critisied though for looking like a table cloth / tin of shortbread. (haha)
