Apart from the chef‘s trousers, I don’t mind that actually!


(Need another holiday to Türkiye!)

Apparently they’re wearing it this weekend. Outfield players in black, keeper in white.

And all yours for a mere €150

(And yes, that’s Toni Kroos in the away kit; he’s decided to end his international retirement).

I think nationalism is a bad thing, so don’t give a shit about flags and the like.
You will probably enjoy Flag by John Agard, Captain.


What’s that fluttering in a breeze?
It’s just a piece of cloth
that brings a nation to its knees.

What’s that unfurling from a pole?
It’s just a piece of cloth
that makes the guts of men grow bold.

What’s that rising over a tent?
It’s just a piece of cloth
that dares the coward to relent.

What’s that flying across a field?
It’s just a piece of cloth
that will outlive the blood you bleed.

How can I possess such a cloth?
Just ask for a flag my friend.
Then blind your conscience to the end.

Thanks for posting that.
I can add it to my list of favourite poems.
It will go well with "Dulce et Decorum Est" by Wilfred Owen

I agree, don't mess with the flag. It's stupid idea dreamt up by a bored designer with little flair for his job, what is it supposed to mean or represent?

I don't remember people getting upset when Umbro had multicoloured George Crosses on the kit in 2011, but that does pre-date social media and mass outrage at 'wokeness'

The most outrageous thing about the new England kits is the price; EIGHTY FIVE QUID for a football shirt.

And another 20 quid on top, if you want some plastic letters and a number ironing on to it.

Well, this is pretty bloody seismic; after 70 years, the Deutscher Fußball Bund announces that Germany‘s national sides will switch away from Adidas to Nike, starting in 2027.


As per usual, it is all about money.

I'd bloody love it if we get the classic Adidas trefoil logo next season
