A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away....
In our penultimate episode, we’re in the midlands with one of the Premier League’s nouveau riches. Leicester City came from the relative poverty of a Premier League relegation battle in 2015 to winning the whole damn thing a season later in...
Today, we’re as far North as we’ll get in this series. Newcastle has a famous footballing pedigree which is why the slow decline of the club in the last ten years has been all the more painful to watch. Owned by...
In today’s episode, we’re back in London - just down the road from Fulham Broadway Tube Station at Stamford Bridge. Under Roman Abramovich, Chelsea have had an up-and-down few years. As far as the present season is concerned, it’s something of...
Hello and welcome to Kitted Out Podcast, a podcast on football shirts. Each episode, I will take an in-depth look at a different shirt from throughout the years to discuss everything about it. The design, the materials, the story. For episode 8,...
Today, we’re back in the capital city - in London's North West and Stratford. It’s hard to talk about West Ham without mentioning their geographic re-location. Moving away from their home in Upton Park three seasons ago, the Hammers took up...
Today we’re heading to a part of the country that is under-represented in the Premier League: Norfolk. Norwich aren’t exactly new to the Premier League but, when they dropped out of the top division of English football in 2016, no one...
Today we’re in Wolverhampton exploring a club whose fortunes have changed drastically in recent years. When Wolves dropped out of the Premier League in 2012 and then out of the Championship in the following season, no one expected them to be...
Today we’re nearly in London but not quite… which is how I would have described Watford in terms of the Premier League a couple of seasons ago. Two years on and the Hornets have graduated into that coveted set of teams...
Today, we’re back in the North West, if not in football’s birthplace then in the cauldron in which it was refined. Burnley’s Turf Moor has, against the expectations of many pundits - professional and armchair alike, continued to enjoy Premier League...
Today we head to the South Coast for one last time. Our destination is Brighton: a famously open city which extends its broad-mindedness to its football club. Over the summer, the Albion have displayed a willingness to be progressive, sacking their...
Today we’re back on the south coast where a glut of teams have sprung up and made the Premier League their own in recent years. No one expected this of Bournemouth but, since their arrival in the Premier League in 2015,...
For today’s episode, we find ourselves back in Manchester… well… almost Manchester depending on how you parse Salford. But the Manchesters City and United are not just geographically distinct but substantially distinct these days. Gone are the times when United used...
Today’s episode takes us back to Liverpool but to the other end of the colour spectrum. In recent seasons, Everton have lived in the shadow of their cross-city rivals, not least since Liverpool started making it to Champions League finals and...
Today we’re back in the capital: in North London and the Borough of Highbury and Islington. The Borough has seen a lot of upheaval of late when it comes to men in their 70s who can inspire young people around the...
This week’s episode takes us to a city that hasn’t seen Premier League football for over a decade. Sheffield has a storied history of first division footballing successes but its been some time since the city had a representative at...
Today’s episode carries us back to the North, to one of the country’s biggest footballing cities. Things are on the up in Liverpool with both of its Premier League clubs enjoying relative purple patches in recent years. The red half of...
Today’s episode carries us down to the South Coast. Now, for many of us, Brighton notwithstanding, the South Coast hardly conjures up an image of hip and trendy. But five years ago, Southampton Football Club had garnered themselves just such...

Today’s episode sees us visiting the capital city for the first time in this series. Our visit, though, takes us across North London from the famous arch of England’s national stadium to the perhaps equally endearing cheese room of the...
This week’s episode carries us to the Midlands, to a stadium that hasn’t seen Premier League football for three years. Home of the Peaky Blinders, Birmingham boasts its own Peaky Blinder, Jack Grealish, who is the star of today’s team:...
We start our journey around the Premier League in the geographical North not just of England but also, appropriately enough, of the Premier League itself. Last season, Manchester City managed what few other teams have managed in Premier League history:...
At the end of an eventful season, Jon Mackenzie and Jamie Kemp look back over Leeds United's 2018/19 season using statistical analysis and with an eye to tactical systems. They look at the season as a whole before breaking down each...
