Now, Im not usually one who adheres to the whole anti saints agenda thing as generally I dont believe it.

 

This man however obviously has a bee in his bonnet about us, Im not saying everything he says has no basis of truth as generally it does. But everytime I hear him he seems to want to comment on us for one reason or another.

 

For example, sunday supplement this morning all talking about Coventry and Hull city and then he goes off on a tangent about the fact we have not woreany real stripes for 2 years and was talking about it for about 5-10 minutes. Now its not that I dont agree we should wear stripes, it just seemed oddto have to move to us ? Especially with other clubs who have had worse tradition changes then us. (Cardiff, mk dons, hull etc)

 

So does anyone know where the bad blood comes from ?

Lowe sued him (and won) for about £250K. He's had a hard-on for Saints bashing since then, the beardy fat c*nt.

[Gingeletiss]

Newcastle as well......no stripes.

[KelvinsRightGlove]

Doesn't he also have a bit of a thing for Cortese too?

 

Seem to recall a couple of articles (at least one for sure) of his laying into NC?

I knew that Rupert Lowe did some good things

I actually found myself agreeing with him... We should be playing in stripes!

 

Usually he speaks a lot of sense and is one of the better journalists around- I always enjoy his articles and his writing style is better than most..

Liverpool have this as a hideous third kit, was it this you saw ?

 

 

Comes with white shorts and black/white hooped socks (one of which has purple turnovers, the other doesn't).

Its not that I dont disagree, we should be in stripes IMO but my point was that he always make an effort to drag our name into conversation and somehow put us down.

 

Never realised the Lowe thing, I have read some stuff of his about other clubs too, now, its probably something to do with this fact but I tend to find him abnoxious and not of an opinion I agree with.

So does anyone know where the bad blood comes from ?

maybe the banning of photographers and the local paper, the shoddy treatment of Nick Illingsworth and MLT, and a dare say selecting only a couple of journalists to talk to.

Oooh, now that I WASN'T aware of. WTF ? I've had a bit of a look and they mention "Wearing their new Members home kit of black and white halves". I have no idea what that is meant to be.

Is that Brett from Camden with another new identity ?

[The9]

Ok, the halved shirt is a stunt to get people to sign up to £30 membership, which entitles the "member" to "Access to exclusive members only merchandise", which clearly includes this "new kit" they're probably never, ever, wearing again : http://www.nufc.co.uk/page/Members/BandWMembers

 

But the normal kit to be worn this season is still striped.

Whewww! thought I was going senile, a few years left of sanity then ;-)

Just this thread, or the whole forum?

 

You appear to have wandered into an online football forum by mistake. I must warn you that it's full of threads started by people who share information and ideas, which then creates opinions and debate. Be cautious.

If I had caused my bosses to lose 250k to an organisation I think I would harbour a slight grudge, even if it was my shoddy journalism which had instigated it.
