As I recall in the late 60's the away team had to change their strip but this wasn't normal as if the teams didn't clash then both would wear their main strip. Here's West Ham vs Spurs from the 60's for example...

Malcom Musgrove?

I think so and it looks like Ken Brown furthest away behind the ball.

Which would be Kenny Brown senior, and KB junior who also playd for us is now the academy manager, and a bloody nice bloke as well.

Yes, and I saw his last few games as he was at the end of his playing career with us when I first went to Upton Park.

Reports saying Ant could be out for up to 9 months - speculation at the moment

Certainly should be as our starting striker - Ings to the rescue

Just had a new contract too. So that's all of this season and the start of next. I agree, that's the end of his career if that's the case. Ings and Mubama assuming we can come to terms with his agent!

[LimmerickLad]

Who pays wages etc if injured on international duty? Insurance?

Injury notwithstanding, MA's deal runs until end-2025 season (same as Ings) when he'll be 36!

Club gets insurance payment equivalent to one month of the players salary.

We really got shafted when Dean Ashton got injured on England duty (thanks SWP, you tosser).

Even injury aside whoever signed off on that deal needs to be shown the door, utterly shocking financial mismanagement.

Rinse & repeat.

That one really hurt because I had hopes that Ashton would finally be the striker to lead the attack like Geoff Hurst, one of my footballing heroes.

One not bothered about (although for his own sake glad it wasn’t a bad one as first feared) but the other have fingers crossed

[Hammer67]

So Burnley away?

A straightforward, multiple goal duffing up of a poor side in claret & blue?

Almost certainly but which way?

COYI.

[sjc]

So no Bowen unfortunately,Ings starts.
Not a lot of pace in that side.

[Roofless Toothless]

The pace is sitting on the bench.

Who on the bench is pacey? Cornet? All he ever seems to do is run offside.
