Well, it's got "cooling technology" innit? And it's the "ultimate" way of supporting England at the World Cup too. Well worth 90 quid of anyone's money that.

Isn't progress wonderful....that used to be called short sleeves.

"Cooling Technology". Another way of saying "holes". I thought you'd pay less for that....

It's normal price for a replica shirt, I don't know why the media are saying otherwise. £50 for pre-order at Sports Direct, same as pretty much all of the new shirts in recent years.

£50 is still too much, obviously, but it's not newsworthy.  The "Player Issue" shirt is the £90 one, and these have always been the case too, though you can find batches of 2/3 year old player issue kit in the Nike store in the Outlet Village for £40 or so if you want a Barca/Arsenal/Man Utd/Juve etc player kit.

No no no, it's like cars, if you have a lighter one with less stuff in it it costs more.

The FA has charged Ronnie Moore ( Tranmere ) for alleged multiple breaches of Rule E8(b) for misconduct in relation to betting.
The Tranmere Rovers manager has until 8 April 2014 to respond to the charges.
The Club will make no further comment at this time.

Wonder if any of those games involved Tranmere - be interesting to see the punishment if found guilty

I know some may see this as 'what is good with football' 'real fans being rewarded for loyalty' blah blah blah but it's not for me.

As a football fan I am quite aware that if I travel to the other end of the country then there's every chance my team will lose and by a comfortable margin.

This has happened a fair bit recently with 6-0 type scorelines but honestly, a 3-0 loss away from home? It's getting silly now.

Norwich City have crossed that line and now we'll get fans demanding all sorts of stupid things just because they're not happy with the outcome of a game that they've chosen to go to.

It's a nice touch I suppose but totally unnecessary as was the case when we got humped at Macclesfield

Ours was a completely different level of embarrassment, name 5 occasions when a league team has got smashed by a non-league side, by smashed I mean by more than 3 goals. It's pretty much unheard of.

Still doesn't fly with me.

It won't be long before people demand season ticket refunds for poor seasons. In fairness that's probably happened already.

The guy who chucked his season ticket on the pitch when we went 3-0 down to sheff weds on opening day always raises a smile, not sure if he got a refund though.
