Word is that Arsenal have white socks. They should be red to avoid clashing with Chelsea's.
We don't know how long the delay is for - a bit of a farce really.
An extra Whitney Houston song softens the blow just a touch, though
Kick -off delayed at Stamford Bridge because of a kit clash. Hope everyone brought their spares?!

VAR weakens football's unique asset: the primal joy of the goal. For it to be worthwhile, it has to reduce substantially the amount of controversy around decisions, but it's never come close to doing so.
Accept that human error is part of sport and scrap it

After all of 20 minutes’ reflection, that has to be the greatest RWC weekend ever.
All that was missing was Ireland/Fiji/France winning with the last play.

It appears some of my fellow UoB students have taken ‘Invades’ a little too literally at Edgbaston.

That the teams are happy to resume tonight can only be good news. Sadly, it won’t stop people with minimal direct connection to the situation criticising the decision and telling players how they should respond to (near) tragedy.

Christian Eriksen er vågen, og hans tilstand er fortsat stabil. Han forbliver indlagt på Rigshospitalet til yderligere undersøgelser.
Kampen mod Finland spilles færdig i aften. Dette sker efter at spillerne har fået bekræftet, at Christian er okay. Kampen genoptages kl. 20.30.
