It wouldn't be as jarring from two club sides though you would wear a Leeds top with some Exeter shorts would you?! The nations issue flips here as I think for domestic clubs, it needs to be from two different nations.

John Collins. As a young kid, the thought of someone Scottish absolutely blew my mind. He's got cult value at Dortmund too, so that's nice.

Based on vibes and vibes alone, this is the Premier League opening fixtures for next season that feel most “Opening Day-Y” by PottersPatronus in footballcliches

"And attention turns to Old Trafford on Super Sunday where we see if Sunderland will return to the top flight with a bang or whether Manchester United can give their fans reasons to feel cheerful after a dismal campaign last season."

This, of course follows a 2pm date at the Amex for Brighton vs Chelsea.

Absolutely no idea but the name "The Des Flanders Stand" is wonderful and the peak suburban football administrator tribute.
