There has been lots of hype surrounding the reveal of Umbro's newest England kit. They are going out of their way to tell everyone how high the quality is, and how it is Tailored In England. I'll reserve judgment til I've seen it but this appears to be it.

If it can match the laughs of the first series it will be brilliant, a very tough task though.

Thank God For Comic Relief
Support Comic Relief!
The message is clear, they do an incredible amount of good in Africa helping people in awful conditions. They also convinced The Saturdays to do this..
Well worth a quid for a plastic nose.

iPhone screengrab utility, little things and all that....
The screen capture function on iPhone is a very clever little feature that I think I'll find myself using far too often. Here's what my home screen looks like, inspiring isn't it.
Expect more iPhone grabs soon, probably of ridiculous texts from my friends. Online fame and shame awaits.
To peform a screengrab hold the home button then press the sleep button. You should see a flash, then the photo will appear in your camera roll.

Liverpool In Europe, Borderline Unbeatable
Liverpool were incredible last night, from the first second of the game Real Madrid weren’t allowed a second to use the ball creatively. Casillas made two world class saves within a minute. Suddenly the Anfield cauldron erupted and the rest was history.
On top form at Anfield in Europe, Liverpool are unplayable. They play with an energy and tempo unlike any other team in the competition. Players like Raul, Sergio Ramos and Robben who are performing consistently in La Liga got swept aside by Liverpool’s momentum. Rafa deserves credit for his European prowess, however domestically he has ruined the clubs best chance of winning the league that I can remember.
A few facts from last night. Inspired by offthepost.com
Torres was world class in the first half.
He didnt foul Pepe for the opening goal, Pepe got the ball wrong.
It wasn't a penalty.
..but when you flap your arms around like Heinze does for 90 minutes its an occupational hazard.
Steven Gerrard is as good as any player in the world, he makes very hard finishes look remarkably easy time and time again.
Andreas Dossena is a footballer, who knew?
Liverpool can win the champions league.
