The new When Saturday Comes is out now, featuring my musings on the current state of #itfc , and Carrie Dunn giving FIFA an inch-perfect skewering, amongst many other fine things. In newsagents or online from wsc.us19.list-manage.com/track/click?u=…

#FIFAWomensWorldCup

Very much looking forward to the arrival of this #itfc Portman Road print via When Saturday Comes
