Long sleeves are awesome. They used to be hard to obtain.

Went and got my new shirt. All ready for the season.

COME ON YOU GOONERS!!!

Very nice hopefully a good season coming up

Are all adult football shirts sponsor and team logos embroidered? As I remember the long sleeves were... Back in the 90s I remember the team logos and sponsors were that foamy stuff that is pressed on?

On this shirt, the puma logo is the foamy stuff as you say and the sponsor is also pressed on, but it's a thin smooth plastic like the numbers on the back. I don't think any are embroidered any more. Too costly and time consuming for the amount they have to churn out. It's a nice shirt though, amazingly comfortable and the red is deeper than usual and is really nice to look at.

Are the shirts still polyester?

God that shirt is awful - and I'm not just talking about the team.

Third team shirt is the best.

 

[rubberduck]

Might as well just call that third team shirt 'muggins editon'!

What's so awful about? It's just a tidy red football shirt.

Just looks really dated to me for some reason. I like that third kit though.

Funny you say dated because I quite often wear the 70's retro shirt to games

That's actually the 'cool' shirt to wear among Arsenal fans.

Quite a fan of retro shirts here too. Quite often wear retro rugby shirts - even of teams I don't support.

New TV. Just need to get a chance to get it out the box now.

 

[darkgen]

I really would rather like the reception room TV to blow up sooner rather than later. I really want to upgrade the current 55" poor man’s show to 65" 4k badness, which in turn would trigger upgrading to a PS4 pro! However, I've never had a LCD or LED TV fail on me

 

[Phate]

Darkgen, you could "encourage" it to fail

Few bits for me!

New car phone holder.





Short USB-C cable to carry around



New phone case



Some surprise tea for the wife!



Nintendo Switch accessories.

How does green tea powder compare to normal loose leaf tea?

Well, Matcha green tea has lots of healing properties. Its crazily popular in Japan. A quick google on matcha tea will show lots of websites listing the seemingly endless benefits to it. I used to work with someone who drank it reguarly and she claimed it helped her a lot with her arthritis. Whether or not it actually helps or its just a placebo effect remains to be decided...however, I know my wife loves the stuff and it's expensive so she doesn't buy it often. So picked her this up so she can keep a sachet at work as well

 

[Martynt74]

I'll have a look, i think my current batch is Sencha green tea, although i'm also coming to the end of these weird sachets my dad brought back from somewhere (i'm presuming China)

 

[Phate]

Cool go for it! I think there is some merit to its healing abilities as there are too many people to report it to think otherwise.
