From what I've read, the basic rule is that the name and number need to be easily readable. If you have stripes, you either need a plain back or you stick a square on the back. The exception to this is if the two colours of your stripes are similar in the colour spectrum, and they have ways of measuring this. I think this is why Bournemouth wouldn't need a plain back, as the contrast between a dark red and black isn't too bad. Blue and black stripes would be the same. Some clubs get round this by having a different kit for the players and supporters, but I suspect this gets quite complicated as a lot of fans want names and numbers on their shirts

We mainly play 4-2-3-1, so we've already got 4 players attacking. Anything we get from the 2 holding midfielders is a nice bonus. Jander did get a couple of goals last season, and as others have said he contributed a lot by winning the ball and triggering attacks. His tackling ability is fantastic.

Good idea, I'd accept that

Uefa have announced that they will boycott all FIFA competitions unless this idea is abandoned

At least Eddie Howe is available now in case we need a replacement.

Yes there is, which is equally stupid. If we can't have refs from countries we've had wars with, there's not many options left 😂

Quansah given a 2 match ban for his red card, would also miss the semi final. It's almost like FIFA want Argentina to go through. Also just saw an interesting story on the athletic, that Michael Oliver isn't allowed to referee Argentina games because of the Falklands war, which was before he was even born....

The stripes are a nod to shipping containers according to the club. What a load of bollocks....

The teaser doesn't really seem to fit with the fairly standard shirt in the leaked image. They seem to be leaning heavily into the heritage angle here.

Or apparently you can go in as late as possible, play the game before your body realises it's at altitude (24-48 hours) and then leave again straight after the match according to something I was reading.

Both ends have temporary seating built behind the normal stands. I think they've also raised the roof of one end so the people in the new bits can see the pitch

Just saw that Cyle Larin scored the first ever goal in this stadium, he used to play for Orlando

From what I saw watching Derby, it was more like the Azaz position. He looked pretty good and a lot of their play went through him.

How much notice did they have of who was on the panel? Remember it was all rushed through very quickly at the request of the EFL. All that was said in advance was that it was an independent panel from a company who specialise in these sorts of cases.

Worse than that, they were actually recommending that we were thrown out. And then they still gave us more Wembley tickets after they knew the verdict...
