Last shirt I bought had Le Tissier on the back, so you can work out when that might have been! Not too sure it would fit me so well these days, sadly... (Mind you, would probably fit me better than him).
Own about 300 shirts in total I reckon, wear precisely none of them. Haven’t worn a shirt since I used to play football a couple of years ago
The price of replica shirts is a pet hate with me. Clubs like to spout platitudes such as how much they "value their support" and a club is "nothing without it's loyal fans" and then are happy for those same fans to be ripped off. It's true supporters don't have to buy them (I never have) but it's something that fans like to do because it's a visible sign of being part of their club. That loyalty though, is just seen as another revenue stream to be exploited. I know the club don't get a big percentage of the proceeds and I guess the bulk goes to the shirt manufacturer. But to me replica shirts are an ideal opportunity for the club to back up their comments of appreciation by discounting the shirts instead of selling them for the highest price they can get away with.
Yeah it wouldn't even have to be that much cheaper. What are they now, £65 each? I mean, £40-45 seems about fair, and at that price they would sell twice as many.
And it doesn't end there either. £65 for a budget quality shirt or around £100 for match quality or whatever they call it. I'm not sure if Saints do that version but others do.
I see Young Boys fans kicked off at Villa Park last night. Presumably means they won't be allowed to attend next time they play an English side.
FFS. This will turn into 2 minute waits for ****ing corner checks. Fifa and leagues disagree over use of VAR for corners - BBC Sport
England women vs Ghana at St.Marys tonight. Wonder how busy it will be. Last time I went to see England women at St.Marys was before they won the Euros vs Wales and there was something like 20,000 there for that, so I'd expect it to be close to a sell out given their success and increased popularity since. Though the weather might put some off. Hopefully some goals this time!
Every single corner So glad we don't have to deal with VAR. Can you imagine waiting 3 minutes for a corner to be confirmed only to see Manning fail to clear the first man for the 4th time in the match.
