Yesterday we released this new shirt inspired by the club St. Pauli. To help explain the story behind the graphic, I wrote a little something about it here. We may be able to talk about the inspiration, but we don’t know what it’s like to actually play for the club. And that’s a really important aspect to a graphic like this. It’s so heavily inspired by the culture of the club and its fans, and having a deeper understanding of what that’s all about is crucial.
But someone that can speak from first hand experience about the club is Ian Joy. Ian played for St. Pauli between 2005-2007. Here is Ian representing our St. Pauli inspired shirt and here is a little something he said about the club.
“Playing for FC St Pauli was like winning the lottery! The players have a special bond with the fans who are the most passionate fans in the world! Fighting against Racism, Fascism and discrimination of all kinds is in our blood! The Skull & Crossbones emblem that represents our famous club goes to show FC St Pauli is more than just a soccer team, it’s a religion!”
Not every club inspires that kind of feelings and sentiment by players, and further illustrates what a unique club St. Pauli really is.

Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish has urged everyone involved in Saturday’s Barclays Premier League game at Old Trafford to play their part in making sure the focus remains firmly on the football and nothing else.
Said the Reds boss: “Everyone involved, including the media, the supporters and both teams have a responsibility to ensure this weekend is remembered as a cracking game of football between two very good sides, rather than for anything else.
“I thought everyone involved in the FA Cup tie at Anfield played their part in making sure that the match was played in the right way, so let’s make sure that happens again this weekend.”

‘The number of high-profile Dunk releases has been pretty low over the past couple of months, with sneakerheads seeming to gravitate more and more towards Nike‘s latest range of signature sneakers to get their fix. If anything can reverse that trend though it’s this trio of Nike Dunk High Premium models set to release in conjunction with the 2012 NBA All-Star game. Again coming with the NASA look, the set of Dunks is modeled after the aesthetics of astronaut gear, with waxed canvas uppers and a stenciled font with a bold military feel. Then of course there’s the painstaking attention to detail, manifested in the stellar print on the lining, the removable patches and Swooshes, and the clean icy outsole. Follow us after the jump to get a look at all three pairs, which will be available on Thursday, February 28th from NikeStore online as well as a select set of premium Nike Basketball accounts.’

Harry Redknapp has insisted he has “not even thought about” becoming the next England manager.
The Tottenham manager, who was cleared of tax evasion charges on Wednesday, is the firm favourite to replace Fabio Capello, who resigned after talks with the Football Association chairman David Bernstein.
Redknapp, speaking to Sky as he left his home near Poole, played down talk of him stepping in to guide the team at Euro 2012.
“I’ve not even thought about it. I’ve got a job to do. I’ve got a big game on Saturday for Tottenham. Tottenham is my focus … They [the FA] will make whatever decision they want to make. Hopefully it’ll be the right decision for the country but my focus is all on Tottenham.”
