Premier League club Wigan Athletic have revealed their new away kit that they will wear throughout the 2010/11 domestic campaign.

The team had a nervy 09/10 season which eventually saw them comfortably avoid the Premier League relegation zone. Roberto Martinez replaced the outgoing Steve Bruce at the beginning of the campaign and was tasked with keeping the club out of the bottom three. With an emphasis on neat passing football, Wigan suffered several heavy defeats early on from more experienced and physical outlets. Nevertheless, the team were never in major trouble due to their ability to prevent barren runs of form. Eventually they finished in 16th place with 36 points. more....

Diverted off the road to redemption after just one game, the England football team found itself back in familiar territory yesterday. With concerns, once again, over the welfare of Wayne Rooney. 

Because of his importance to the team it is always a major issue. At the World Cup in 2006 because of that fractured metatarsal. In South Africa four years later because of the injury he suffered while representing Manchester United against Bayern Munich.

And now, just when Fabio Capello thought the recovery process had started in the wake of the last World Cup with that fine display against Bulgaria, thanks to the salacious front-page headlines that have thrown Rooney's life into turmoil.

Fake football shirt crackdown

Wednesday, 09 Jun 2010

In the run up to the World Cup, UK Border Agency officers work with replica kit manufacturers to target counterfeits.

Criminal gangs trading in counterfeit football shirts face seeing their profits slashed after the UK Border Agency and replica kit manufacturers launched a major crackdown.

A week of action is being led at Coventry's international postal hub which includes anti-counterfeit experts from Adidas, Nike, Puma and Umbro working alongside immigration officials.

Already 3,200 fake shirts for countries such as England, France and Germany have been seized after officers identified them in parcels.

'Cheating' football fans

Immigration minister Damian Green, said: ‘Smugglers are cheating unsuspecting football fans and undercutting honest businesses. It is estimated that businesses lose £11bn a year from counterfeits.

‘People often don't realise that the profits made by these smugglers are ploughed straight back into other criminal activities such as drug smuggling and human trafficking.’

Thousands of fake shirts seized last year

In 2009 more than 50,000 counterfeit replica shirts, worth approximately £1.2m, were seized by the UK Border Agency, police and trading standards.

In addition, 21,000 auctions websites, which operate like eBay, were removed last year. The sites offered more than 150,000 replica shirts for sale, worth £1.4m.

The Premier League runs its own anti-counterfeiting programme in partnership with the IP Crime Unit and, working with the shirt manufacturers, has helped coordinate this operation.

If you suspect smuggling

Anyone with information about activity they suspect may be linked to smuggling should call 0800 595 000.

Embarrassment. Disaster. Catastrophe. Call the World Cup what you will but once the horror show was over, England fans were desperate for the rejuvenation of their national side.

The team had gone rotten and the time was ripe for Fabio Capello to plant the seeds of the new England in the friendly against Hungary. He could drop whoever he liked, even the untouchables, John Terry, Frank Lampard, Wayne Rooney, and nobody would have any grounds to complain.

But what kind of a statement did he make with his squad for the Hungary match? Nothing. Changes were rung but who suffered in the aftermath of a dreadful World Cup? Peter Crouch, Jermain Defoe, Matthew Upson, Aaron Lennon, Stephen Warnock, Joe Cole. more....

"Arsenal won a tricky game with Blackburn Rovers, 2-1 at Ewood Park. Rovers wore their standard kits which forced the Gunners to wear alternate red socks for the first time this season.

Blackpool and Fulham drew 2-2 in the first game at Bloomfield Road in the Premier League. TheTangerines were adorned appropriately while the Cottagers were able to choose their standard variety kits with contrasts all around.

White Hart Lane was the site of a stunning result with Wigan defeating Tottenham Hotspur 1-0. Spurs wore their regular home kits and the Latics opted for their all-black change kits for the first time since their unveiling. While the new change look is certainly not the best, it’s infinitely better than their Halloween-inspired abominations worn all last season.

Wolverhampton Wanderers drew Newcastle United 1-1 at Molineux on Saturday. Wolves were in their traditional orange and black home kits while Toon chose their all-white third kits for the occasion." More.....
