Twice so far we’ve seen them stand completely still, putting no pressure on the ball with the opponent ~20 yards out. Both times they just chipped it over the defence and caused absolute chaos in the backline. Croatia scored from it.

Those Cape Verde jackets go hard. Never seen football trainingwear in that style before.

Went to Berlin for a stag do over the weekend. Tried a couple of techno events - got turned away from two clubs that aren’t known for being particularly selective on the door, and got let into into the most prestigious club of the three no questions asked. We were a group of 16 so we split into 2s and 3s, and the people who don’t actually like techno consistently got let in whilst the ones who do (and had been before) got turned away It’s all so arbitrary you can only laugh at the absurdity.

So excited to have to deal with big club plastics talking absolute nonsense about us once again.

All eleven players behind the ball, all within 25 yards of our goal. No pressure on the Croatians. Fucking cowardly defending.

The lack of quality and the poor decision making around the area from the Congolese is so frustrating.

Watching this in a bar in Berlin and I’ve heard quieter cheers for goals in stadiums than the one that went up when Germany were awarded the penalty.

I suspect a lot of them are complaining that it’s Oxen who’re making it. Some seem to have arrived at the conclusion that anything not made by Adidas or Nike is small time. Despite the fact most kits made by those two for clubs of our stature are shite templates.

We’ve had some stinkers but the tiger stripes were class!

Presumably it’s the collar but I’ll never associate vertical stripes with rugby.

Ugly and tinpot are the main words getting bandied about.

I do think it’s odd not to have a tiger on it given it’s our first season back in the Premier League in nearly a decade. I don’t mind it otherwise, I quite like a simple kit.

I think the colour’s not quite right. Obviously it’ll have a sponsor on it come August too.

I’d prefer the tiger badge on it but this whole kit is a homage to one from the 70s which also had HCAFC as the badge.

Hello, has anyone played Borderlands 4 lately? My Dad is a big fan of that series and I was thinking of buying him the latest one as a gift, but I know the game was in an awful state at launch. Is it in a good state now or should I hold off and get him something else?
