A second appearance for both Kanu and Sol Campbell, reflecting Pompey’s great start to the season. Do you agree with our choices? Who have we missed out?
Gotta say this is a comprehensive victory for City’s new away kit. Very classy, especially the grandad collar. United’s, however, looks exactly like what it is: an unimaginative Nike template. Yawn.
One looks like old miner pajamas, the other like retro Star Trek uniforms. This is easily the worst year for kits in the history of the sport. Still waiting for an Aston Villa third kit with a hood and nipple holes.
City’s kit looks class. Get Robinho, Adeybayor & Tevez in this, they’re going to terrorize anyones defence in the Premier League.
Hate to admit it but City’s looks much better. Apart from that ridiculous eagle or cormorant or dodo or whatever it is…
when did that guy say he was a United fan? If he watched football, especially United, he would know who Evans is.
Bluesky, you’re living in the clouds mate. Class terrorizes and not the millions. City are a small club just the same.
i agree the kits for all the teams are terrible this year. arsenal’s away kit looks like a college uniform, their third kit is ok, their home kit needs the white sleeves back and fast. west ham’s shiny r-tard creations are terrible. manure’s V looks ridiculous. cska london’s kit has breastplates and a zipper no more needs to be said. spuds kits look like they made changes just for change sake. the scousers seem to be the only team who’s kits aren’t objectionable in some way. but fuck the kits its not how you look but how you play
What a shame that our town and city centre’s will be full of gloryhunting idiots wandering around in that vile Man U shirt this year. It look’s horrible and the people who buy it don’t know a thing about football and have no connection to Manchester.
That happens to be one of the most promising centre backs there has been for a while. Future Northern Ireland Captain too.
Oh dear – Nike use a cast off kit design from 2006 to come up with the Rags strip while Umbro make a custom, tailored kit similar to the effort they put into the England strip… one very clear winner!
Hate to admit it but Cityâ€™s looks much better. Our kit makes them look like a bunch of gypsies, which will look even worse with all the shiny metal theyâ€™ll collect by the end of the season.
I’m more concerned about what’s in the kit than what’s on it, and United win hands down. At the end of the day, they are both just black t-shirts with a bit of colour so who cares. Also, bluejohn you claim to watch football yet don’t know who Johnny Evans is even though he played in half of United’s games last season – you clearly do not watch a lot of football, United fan or not.
This is for the nob near the top… the eagle was featured on one of the early crests of Manchester… This being where our club is from… do you get the link – you clown.
Seems to be happening more and more, city seem to be getting up yoonited’s noses a bit more than usual, you rags are GUTTED that we pose a threat, but instead of all this bickering lets cut the shit and all have a massive fight in picadilly gardens (nice and close to the train station for all you cockney contingents that will no doubt represent 80% of your attending fans)
small time club, small time kit, small time players, and the millions will be around for a small time, you will be down within 3 years!
paul calf, i think you’ll find a higher % of mancs support united…. and as for the fight? we’ll see who’s won the ‘fight’ in may…
Love how this has turned in to a war of who’s going to win what, rather than the subject of the article. And who brought up the argument of who won what? A United fan.
City kit wins hands down, clean, classy, would prefer the old team badge, but what are ye going to do?
United’s whole arrangement of kits looks pretty naff this years, shame as last years was fairly nice. I like the Blue on this kit and their keeper kit, it reminds me of city’s Kappa laser blue era.
That “ridiculous dodo” is called Manchester Eagle and symbols Manchester’s connection with ancient Rome. It’s complimentary to Manchester Coat of Arms.
Love the City kit, dont’ think much of the United one, but as I would never buy that, it doesn’t matter to me.
I didn’t know who that United player was either. I don’t watch United or have that much interest in them. I just watch City.
A higher percentage of Mancs support United? Not sure where you are getting your facts from but they are clearly wrong!
Small club? Starting to sound like old corned beef features himself, that daft jock who’s in charge!
at least we know whos in charge! an ex united legend is currently taking orders from above at citeh!
I’ve lost count: how many more years to wait to be able to put another of those stars on the badge, 7?
a large portion of stockport is actualy in greater manchester (the part north of the river mersey) as is salford 10/10 for geography pal
I think United’s looks nice and simple, and unlike most kits this year isn’t massively retro despite what Nike may have been saying about that V shape. Not too keen on the collar of the other one, but pretty solid otherwise.
Off the topic of the article and onto the topic of the flamewar in the comments, it’s amazing how overconfidently Man City fans are acting. So some new players have come in this summer, and they’ll likely get better results than last year, but that’s not saying much. If this kind of investment had gone into Everton or Villa the top four would be as concerned as some people here are hoping they already are. At the moment, there’s potential, but there was last year with Elano, Ireland, Jo and Robinho. That team didn’t even make it to Europe, and the current one can’t beat some fairly mediocre pre-season opponents.
Come on give city a break. they wil do better this year. (i hope!) mite win the league but they wil shake things up a bit. wish them all the best. CITY! LOL.

Those in quest of new species tend to be a bit maniacal. Myself included. I was once part of a group of birders who kept discovering birds in wrong places and had a hard time convincing others that we were not on drugs. We even united for a few months into the Society of Maniacal Naturalists. And, as many of the stories that follow amply illustrate, the quest to perceive species (the Latin root of "species" means "to observe, sight, espy, watch, look") is an occupation of perseverance, irreverence, and exceptional abilities at scouting, dragnetting, beating the bushes, leaving no stone unturned, memorizing untold songs and wing whirrs, and, more recently, probing with DNA wands, dredging the deepest seas, videotaping jaguars and giant squids, and fogging the rainforest with organic insecticides in order to receive a blessing of beetles. Some naturalists like E.O. Wilson would claim that this personality is largely a gift of birth, though many, deprived of the opportunity as youths, later discover its joys. I always wonder how I went from the streets of Brooklyn to the temperate fjord forests of Chile in quest of a rumored shrew.
One lovely aspect of discovery is that the required human talents defy rankings, formal education, and professions. This next section will tell a few discoverer tales: of tour guide Ted Parker, a man who held 4,000 bird songs in his head; of novelist Vladimir Nabokov's contribution to butterfly naturalist history; of parataxonomists changing from their lives as farmers to become sharp-eyed field collectors; of painter Audubon's tricks on the true maniac, Rafinesque. Add to these every sort of "amateur" and "professional" naturalist, as well as the academic specialist (Miriam Rothschild and her love of fleas; E.O. Wilson on ants) and you cook up quite a wonderful dialog, tinged with competition, possessiveness, ego and cross-checking, but fundamentally honoring the pursuit of mysteries in life.
Let's not romanticize. The quest for species began in earnest with conquest. To be powerful was to have more knowledge than anyone else of the living world. Specimens were sent dead and alive back to the "mother" country. Many naturalists earned their livelihoods finding profitable "exotics"?plants and pets that Europeans had never seen. Today, most of the 2.5 billion specimens in collections worldwide are in North America and Europe. When we consider an all species inventory, this history comes back to haunt us. Nations that will be most open to surveys will be nations that can forgive the conquerors. Naturalists and other scientists who will be most successful will be those who admit the stark past and help rectify the wrongs. They can, for instance, find funding to digitize all the specimens of former colonial nations so that the nations-of-origin have access to this knowledge. They can assure that duplicates are placed in national herbaria or museums, and help find funding for nations to build their own natural history infrastructures. If done right, the twenty-first century collector will also be a diplomat and a source of healing. This doesn't stop the fun. It just adds humanity to the mania.
And the twenty-first century will have new and more focused naturalists. There have been too few explorers for the kingdoms and orders that remain the most undescribed. We need a fervor for nematodes and mites; micro-algae and fungi (especially the fungi associated with insects); terrestrial arthropods; bacteria that have not been and can't be cultured. If there is but one species of parasitic nematode, protozoan, bacterium, or virus for each multicelled creature on Earth, then the species list will skyrocket beyond the current estimate of 30 million. If the guts of creatures from bioluminescent squid to termites, from cows to us, truly each have a necessary and intimate symbiont?bacteria to help us digest, fungi to help plants ingest minerals, protoctists to transform wood into termite food?then the species count could zoom toward 100 million. So we start with Lynn Margulis and the need to inventory the microcosmos.
As we finished this issue, I had lunch with Sarah Weigel, who was helping the All Species Foundation. Her job was characterizing DNA in a lab, but she yearned to study treehoppers outdoors. I thought: If this issue can find one lover of treehoppers a place in the world to pursue that passion, it will have done enough.
