Hi Matthew, those sour grapes you’re eating are making you very bitter about England’s progress. 🇩🇪 Germany’s route to the 2002 final: Group stage: 🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia 8-0 🇮🇪 Ireland 1-1 🇨🇲 Cameroon 2-0 🇵🇾 2nd round: Paraguay 1-0 🇺🇸 QF: USA 1-0 🇰🇷 SF: South Korea 1-0

No country in World Cup history has ever had an easier route to the World Cup semi-final than England at Russia 2018. They've had to overcome Tunisia (poor), Panama (pub team), Colombia (no James Rodriguez) and Sweden (ordinary) to get to the last four.

Wimbledon have revealed their new 𝗯𝗹𝘂𝗲 away shirt, which will come in handy when they can't wear their 𝗯𝗹𝘂𝗲 home shirt...

Great stuff from West Ham, giving fans the choice of buying their new shirt without the sponsor (usually this option is reserved for kids' shirts). Now that West Ham have done it, other clubs have no excuse not to offer the same option. #WHUFC

When I’m running FIFA, and it’s only a matter of time, this will happen: ▪️All kits will be used for a minimum of two seasons ▪️Football shirts will cost no more than £50 ▪️Third kits banned (exceptions can be made in an emergency) ▪️Half-and-half scarfs also banned

Nottingham Forest are so pleased to see Leeds United back in the Premier League that they're chosen Leeds colours for their away kit.

Banner at Ipswich on Friday protesting against the absurd decision to showcase a black kit at home as the game was on Sky. Putting commercial interests ahead of identity, image and history. Thanks to

The badge is sacrosanct, you don't replace it with a shape. Nice shirt, but what they've done with the badge is an insult to Everton fans.

People on here sometimes suggest a retro kit day, a once a season opportunity for clubs to wear one of their classics. Chelsea and Nike are today showing how it could be done. A simple idea executed superbly. #CHEFOR

Ipswich Town tonight wearing black at home against Derby County simply because they want to. What a farce. Derby don't come out of this sorry affair unscathed as they've also changed kit unnecessarily.

New West Brom away/change kit hits the spot, a return to their traditional yellow and green colours and Puma have executed it brilliantly. Altering the colour of the sponsor’s logo makes all the difference. #WBA

It appears that @UnderArmourUK and Southampton have forgotten the fundamental basis for an away/third kit is to provide an alternative colour option to the home kit. Unbelievable.

Quirky one last night. Fin Cartwright made his Middlesbrough debut aged 16 years and 161 days (club's second youngest ever player) without the usual betting sponsor. Thanks to
@Boroshirts

Just discovered these pics of Bobby Moore in his San Antonio Thunder kit in 1976 and now you should see them too. Sensational.

Amusing to note that

have deleted their embarrassing tweet from last night about West Brom’s iconic away kit. Stick to what you know, which is encouraging people to burn money away gambling. If you missed it, here’s the crap

See that
@888sport
have deleted their misjudged tweet from last night about West Brom’s brilliant away kit. Unfortunately for them, managed to get a screenshot of their offending tweet. Clearly the kid looking after their social media knows nothing about WBA’s history.

The last three West Brom home/away kits: same supplier, same sponsor, same badge, same colours. #WBA Keep them for two years, save the fans some money, allow kits time to burn their way into the consciousness, don't bin really good designs (especially 2018-19) after 12 months.

Which clubs are keeping their kit (home, away or third) from last season? Need to give credit where it's due. Accrington Stanley will wear the same home kit for the third season in a row!

That Stevenage kit then...Jesus Christ. The stripes are so narrow it'll look pink from afar. Bully would've loved it, but he's dead now and somewhat ironically was eaten in a Burger King restaurant.

Great stuff from Huddersfield Town today, a free shirt to each of their fans who travelled to their game at Southampton. “A thank you for your amazing support,” they said. Suspect these were unsold stock, and it will not have cost much, but still a grand gesture. #SOUHUD

Here we go again then, the Premier League season starts again tonight. They should’ve done this team photo every year with one player from each team, would be great to look back on the evolution of kits.

Okay, so Arsenal's choice of kit is the main issue here, but what about the Geordie sat in the stands? Peach polo shirt, tight pink shorts and a turquoise sweater over the shoulders. It's a strong look and says: “I’m at St James' and nothing’s going to stop me.”

After Wolves wore a green third kit last season because of Mexican striker Raul Jimenez, perhaps it's inevitable they've gone for a Portugal kit this time. 🇵🇹

Doncaster Rovers’ new third kit aims to raise awareness of mental health issues, they say, and was designed by 11-year-old Nate Nisar. He said: “I went with the triangles because I wanted to choose a retro design, with the colours representing emotions.”

Bad. Really bad. Puma have been bold (the approach worked with their Palace kit), but putting the team name on the third shirt instead of the badge is an error.

England at home in blue against a team that usually wears blue. Bonkers and embarrassing. 🤷‍♂️ Football fixtures now double as commercial opportunities, a chance to maximise revenue by showcasing merchandise. #ENGSMR

Ten years now since Burnley revealed their new shirt, a replica of the 1910 edition. Launched on April 1st and worn by Jay Rodriguez, it was claimed the shirt was made from a material called PROlifola...
