If you want an England football shirt ahead of the World Cup, it has been well documented that you can expect to pay up to £90. Most people in this country have common sense and don’t wipe their behinds with fifty pound notes, so won’t be buying the new shirt.
So what alternatives are there if you want to show your allegiance to your national side this summer? I have it on good merit that Dangerous Dave is selling knock-offs for a tenner at Twerton Market every Thursday. Where do they come from? Ask him no questions, he’ll tell you no lies.
If you want to buy something more legitimate, without lining the pockets of the greedy English Football Association, do what I have done. Buy a retro shirt. This was £25 and available from all good sports retailers and some bad ones.
This is an England shirt from the 1990 World Cup. It is only a replica and not match-worn, so you don’t have to worry about it being soiled by Gazza’s tears or Gary Lineker’s excrement.
I know that by buying this shirt The FA will get less money. Poor them. No doubt the top directors, on their miniscule salaries will only be able to afford three private yachts. Worse still, they may have to sell their private villas in Tuscany. I feel kind of bad now.

Women's football has come a long way in recent years. I think it is now fair to say that the International England Women's Team is now an equal to the International England Men's Team.
Both reaching the semi final of their respective World Cups.
Both getting beaten in aforementioned semi finals, after playing uncharacteristically badly.

A lot is being made of today's match between England and Cameroon in the Womens World Cup. I watched the game. Cameroon were a disgusting team and displayed such extreme misbehaviour. I have never seen all these examples from one team in a single match... Spitting Serious foul play Shoving the referee over Refusing to restart...

It is nice to see the England Women football team doing well this year, just like their male counterparts 12 months ago.
To be fair to the Lionesses, they've been getting better and better over the last decade. Until last summer, England men had been pretty rubbish since 1996.

England fell at the first hurdle in the Nations League tonight, losing 3-1 to Holland.
Roman was delighted. After all, he's a Netherland Dwarf rabbit.
How he mocked us...
Well, I know a certain little bunny who's sleeping in the garden tonight...
What do you think to that, Roman?
Who's laughing now?
Of course Roman wasn't put outside. Do you not...

However, if you would like a lifestyle blog, written by a 30-something chap, living in Bath (England), feast your eyes on this.
