So @NoelGallagher just signed an autograph to me and @laura_ashley_d, what an absolute genuine bloke. Legend!

[Sam @_SmShphrd]

Good warm-up, solid performance. There isn’t half some quality in this squad, all over the pitch. Roll on next Wednesday!

[England @England]

Preparation for a big summer: complete ✅

[Sam @_SmShphrd]

Class start to the summer window!

Reminds me of a hybrid of Cook x Hanson, two of my favourite ever City strikers.

That’ll do!

Love it, Jake. 👊

[Sam @_SmShphrd]

Actually, the more I look at it, the more it gets worse 😭

[England @England]

It’s official. Your #ThreeLions players heading to the @FIFAWorldCup! 🏆

[Sam @_SmShphrd]

Class video! 👏

Not the strongest squad on paper, particularly the defence, but I guess we’ve gotta trust Tuchel’s process.

Although, how Jordan Henderson gets picked in 2026 baffles me. Them card tricks must be something else…

[England @England]

Come Together.

Nine years on from the tragic events of the Manchester Arena bombing, we remember the 22 innocent lives that were lost on that awful night.

They will never be forgotten.

Outrageous decision from Tuchel here, arguably our best centre-half.

[Harry Maguire @HarryMaguire93]

I was confident I could of played a major part this summer for my country after the season I’ve had. I’ve been left shocked and gutted by the decision.

I’ve loved nothing more than putting that shirt on and representing my country over the years.

I wish the players, all the best this summer 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[Sam @_SmShphrd]

Another beauty! Buendia 👏 Villa running away with it

[Sam @_SmShphrd]

What a goal! Fair play Tielemans and Villa 👏

[Sam @_SmShphrd]

Definitely had worse retained lists post-season!

Good to see further years activated for Sarcevic, Wright & Baldwin. Still a good solid core to build on this past season.

We can confirm our retained list following the conclusion of the 2025/26 season.

Yesterday’s FA Cup Final at Wembley brought together two of the biggest clubs in world football.

Yet one of the most memorable moments of the day came from @officialbantams.

Ahead of the 2026/27 season, Bradford City AFC unveiled its new home shirt, featuring Mbanq as back-of-shirt partner, in front of 90,000 people at the national stadium.

The reveal featured “Bantam of the Opera,” a supporter choir formed during Bradford’s UK City of Culture year, performing alongside the Band of the Household Cavalry before the FA Cup Final.

It was creative, distinctive and completely true to the club.

That is exactly what drew us to Bradford City in the first place.

“There is a real connection between Bradford City and the community around it,” says Vlad Lounegov, CEO of Mbanq. “You can see it in the supporters, in the culture around the club and in the confidence to do things differently. We are proud to see Mbanq on the shirt as part of the club’s next chapter.”

Football clubs matter because communities care about them across generations. Bradford City understands that better than most.

The FA Cup Final belonged to the teams on the pitch.

Bradford City still made part of the day their own.

🤝 @oasis

[Sam @_SmShphrd]

@andycity69 They’ve just revealed it at Wembley before the FA Cup final! (Yes, you read that right)

[Sam @_SmShphrd]

Has anyone actually spotted it yet? I’ve watched the video so many times and it’s bending my head now 😂

Hopefully it is a nod to the 1998/1999 home kit, my favourite ever of ours 🤞

#bcafc

[Bradford City AFC @officialbantams]

Can anyone spot our 2026/27 home shirt here? 👀

#BCAFC | #OnParade

[Sam @_SmShphrd]

And just like that it’s gone back to being the shittest league in the world.

[Sam @_SmShphrd]

Not usually a fan of Scottish football, but I think I’m more interesting in the Celtic-Hearts game than the FA Cup final today.

[Sam @_SmShphrd]

@Bantamchris1 Haha! Seems it, brilliant marketing though

[Sam @_SmShphrd]

Superb marketing from us here, fair play 👏

[Sam @_SmShphrd]

Unbelievable marketing by us here, fair play 👏

What a way to unveil next season’s home kit on one of the biggest stages in world football, and what a kit it is also 😍
