Why is it when we play at the Emirates we always have to wear our away 'blue' shorts due to colour clash, yet when they visit us they never switch their white shorts ?? I know this is a silly thing to ask, but its something ive picked up on.

What do you mean by 'always'? Blue is usually our default short colour, this season being the exception.

Probably because we don't give a shit if the shorts are blue or white?

This is correct: this season is the only time that this would have arisen. In any case, we wore that bloody awful grey/black kit instead of white so it didn't arise.

In answer to your question: I don't know the answer. I expected them to be wearing different coloured shorts and was surprised when they didn't.

Something wrong there.

Teams should not be wearing same colour anything by the rules and there is good reason of course, being, the referee and players only getting brief glimpse and maybe out of the corner of their eye of "who's over there."
