Possible new away kit photo & other news… 25 March, 2009

Here is one of the first photos of what could be our new away kit for next season replacing the current Anfield ’89 shirt. First impressions – I quite like it in a strange way. Earlier this season I said how it might be interesting to see Nike remake the old green away shirt of the 80′s and it looks like they might be doing it.

Obviously we’ll get no confirmation of what our new kit is until the summer but this could be it. No idea about how legitimate this image is but it looks a decent copy – might be a Nike prototype. Just thought I’d share it with you, if I hear any more news or see anything else I’ll post it up. I know a lot of people don’t like this already but cheer up, it could be worse.

There’s really not a lot going on this week. With everyone away on international duty Arsenal news has been in short supply…

There is a bit of team news, Silvestre is fit again recovering from his ‘three week’ injury after two and a half months. He completed 90 minutes for the reserves on Monday night in the 0-0 draw with Chelsea. I really doubt we’ll be seeing much of him this season. Djourou, Gallas, Toure and probably Song are all ahead of him in the pecking order so it’d take some terrible luck with injuries before we saw him.

Manuel Almunia has been talking about the possibility of playing for England again. He’s planning on applying for a British passport in January and then if Fabio Capello wants him then he will have a think about it. I think it’d be great to see him playing for England, I’d definitely welcome another Gunner representing my country. I can imagine i would be a tough decision for Manuel but we’ll see. I think he might be tempted, I doubt he’d get another chance to play in a World Cup.

Well that’s it for today then. Will try to speak to you tomorrow, might have to make some news up. Until then.
