Everton release third kit for pre-order

£50. Two for a hundred? Call me old fashioned, but I just think that's too bloody much, and probably a month's wages for the machinist who made it to boot.

And although I'm sure Chang are doing the club loads of good by sponsoring the shirt, I still would rather not walk around with anything else but EFC on my clothing.

So Danny, if the price is right at the end of the season will I get one anyway? I'll tell you later.

(I hardly ever drink cider but, it was hot last Saturday afternoon and was walking the dog 5pm-ish after celebrating the West Brom result. I got charged £3.80 and tried to get them to pour it back into the pump. They weren't having it. Tried to get our Dixie to crap in the beer garden but he wasn't having it either. Still, 3-0. The best things in life are free.)

The Guinness is only £2.50 in the Hermitage. Can Dixie walk that far?

My cat's called Duncan. He shares many characteristics with the great man too

Last Sunday, me and the wife had a day to ourselves without kids. We said we would walk down to the pub for a carvery dinner and a beer. We found cash on the footpath on the way down so the afternoon paid for itself. I still whinged when we got charged twelve euros for two drinks. Strange.

On another note, why exactly do clubs need a 3rd kit? Surely two is enough. Guess its just another ruse to get more cash from the fans....50 quid for somthing that costs them f'all to make in some place in china. Really is daylight robbery, feel sorry for the parents who have to buy them for the kids!.

Anyway, I won't go on about it.

Just checking.

It does seem rather a lot.

Back to the subject.... think I'm about to go over to the Everton website after I've finished reading up on ToffeeWeb to place my order for the shirt

Also, I think you should name and shame the pub. Sounds to me like it's a pub used to a certain demographic. There are pubs that charge different prices during the day (arl arses prices in the afternoons, kiddie prices in the night), but that may mean poor Dixie goes on quite a hike.

Three seasons ago it was £3.50 for a bottle of Magners in Orrys, £.80 for a pint? A pint of what?

£3.80 Dirty Robbing Bastards

Mike are you sure it was £3.80 a pint? The filthy dirty robbing Bastards!

On a hot day, a pint of lager e.g. Becks is fine.
I agree with Pat #745 that Bud is crap.
On a normal day, I like bitter (still miss Higsons) though I've developed a taste for IPAs over the last few years and class that as my normal proper pint (Deuchars is recommended if you can get it).

Typical lager prices round my way are £3 a pint. IPA is £2.80 hence my jaw-dropping reaction and subsequent withdrawal from society following my cider experience.

The cider in question was 5.5% and was a guest brand I can't remember and have never seen before. I just asked for a pint of dry cider.

Andy #781 - glad I was of assistance. I hope your day improves.

Dennis #808 - Dixie will be heading down the opposite end of the road tonight to a dog-friendly pub for a pint of IPA (and change from £3). He might even get a couple of cheese and onion crisps seeing as it is a Bank Holiday weekend.

Anyway, given the painful experience of last Saturday, I'm hoping the Mighty Blues can cheer me up again this Saturday, followed by City hitting double figures on Sunday.

A good weekend to all Blues.

As my Dad would say, the more you drink, the more you save.

When I am on my self imposed Stella Illtwatyer ban, I drink Bud on draught, it is rocket fuel and almost ended up in divorce with my mate and his missus.

Stella, Bud on draught and Guinness, my Holy Trinity......followed by JD & Coke, J&B with lemo, unless is is the 15-year-old reserve then with ice. Maybe a nice 21-year-old Chivas Regal if I am feeling flush....... shit, is it home time yet?

Excellent!
Like the comment about the golfer, who's name escapes me, "He's hit more balls than Elton Johns chin".

£3.80 Filthy low-life dirty robbing Bastards. £3.80

FFS - those are London prices! Here in the states you would even tack on a 15% gratuity for the barmaid.

But if you're a little reluctant to divulge the aforementioned financial details over the World Wide Web then maybe we (and Dixie) could meet to discuss it..........over a drink, perhaps? (obviously not cider though!:)) Take care.

Nil Satis Nisi Optimum!

I got a full EFC Umbro kit from Woolworths back in the day,can't have been more than a tenner otherwise Ma wouldn't have agreed.It was the Hafnia one with umbro logo's down the arms. £50 for a white t shirt, my arse.

I can just imagine Michael and Lyndon scratching their virtual heads mumbling - WTF's going on here?

I know merchandising is big business these days but couldn't the club concentrate on home and away kits and rake in the money on those? I'm not going to buy one but I still feel outrageously exploited - although obviously not as much as Mike Hughes with his pint of alcoholic apple juice!

I wouldn't have been having any of that. You should have told those Turks you'd have those kits on loan, told them you'd wash'em every now and then, then offered, after two years, about, say, in installments mind, £3.80.

Mike - shouldn't you get the Blue Union involved here - £3.80...for ONE pint ??
Sorry to go on about it........

This is how Liverpool fans celebrate the launch of their new kit.....
