    [Music] Savage blow to Radio 2

    I guess, much like Radio 1, Radio 2 has a target audience that the BBC are hoping to attract. I am 37, but still listen to Radio 1 - partly because I still quite like a lot of the music, but mostly because I like Greg James, Vic Hope and Jordan North, Matt and Molly, and a lot of their other...

    Yes - it was me, I have size 13 wide-fit feet, which makes buying shoes a nightmare at the best of times (and almost impossible when it comes to buying cycling shoes or rugby boots). Anyway, I have a pair of Shimano R088 shoes, which were available in wide fit and in large sizes when I bought...

    [Football] New Kits Thread - Season 22/23

    Actually looks quite nice: (But who sanctioned three kits that all clashed with Brighton? I thought bringing out three kits in the same colour was our speciality...)

    [Albion] Simple straw poll: New Home Shirt - YAY/NAY ?

    I can't stand it, but my 8 year-old (his name begins with 'H') loves it, largely because of the H. He also wants me to have the same shirt as him, so it looks like I may be getting it too.

    I wonder if this is a side-effect of our constant progression over the last few years. With Ecuadorian, Zambian, Columbian, Belgian, Spanish, Argentinian and more internationals, we are becoming more well-known. The Premier League is a big deal overseas and we are clearly gaining more...

    If nothing else, this should act as a reminder that human trafficking and modern slavery still exist in this country (and around the world). This is rarely reported on. There are people like Hope for Justice doing fantastic work to protect those that need it.

    [Football] Unpopular opinion (?) - the winter break might not be such a bad thing after all?

    I think it will really work for some teams - I am expecting a few surprises in the Premier League table this season largely due to the mid-season World Cup. How many times have we seen player form dip in the season after major tournaments?

    RE: The England kit, I believe the 'leaked' shirt to be accurate. When the women's kit was released, it was made quite clear that this kit was specifically for the Women's team. The reason I believe the leaked shirt to be accurate is that is is already confirmed the next men's shirt will be...

    The thing about the long delay in releasing kit pics, is that we know the nike template and have seen how nike are making that work for other clubs that wear stripes. Judging by the training kits, I suspect that the badge is likely to be central as it is with PSG's new nike kit. Given those...

    Diving at the Metrodome, Rugby Sevens at Oakwell, a cycling road race around South and West Yorkshire... it really could have been an amazing event.

    I am going to the Rugby Sevens semis. Really looking forward to it. Would have loved to have done more, but given I no longer live near Brum, it is a bit impractical.

    [Other Sport] Le Tour de France

    This was my feeling too - I was surprised he was omitted because of the chance for the sponsors to be immortalised in all of the photos when he crossed the line to take that 35th stage. Part of me thinks he'll still be parachuted in at the last minute due to illness or an issue with one of...

    Badge in the Centre of the training kits... I wonder if that gives us a clue as to what the match kits may look like? Also, the reappearance of the 'volt' colour is interesting - would nike have gone to the trouble of making club crests in that colour for the training kits if they had not...

    Good question! My hatred of adidas is because of the need to stick three stripes on absolutely everything - it just annoys me and I don't event know why. I am sure that with less branding, they could make much better shirts.

    I've said it before, and I'll probably say it again. I don't like adidas kits. I guess the passing resemblance to our British Caledonian kit would make the Leicester shirt okay if it were our kit, but I cannot imagine buying it (over the last few years I have tended to buy a shirt every other...
