It looks to me like you?ve just got a CSS problem, not a javascript problem. Adding:.textwidget{background: #FFFFFF;}to your stylesheet should give you the white background, but if you want it to look exactly like the other widgets, (with rouned corners and same fonts) you?ll need to make sure the textwidget class has the same css as sidebar ul.If you need a better explanation or just want me to fix it for you fill free to email me.

How Henry Winter is on this list is anyone’s guess. Have you seen how many replies he’s made? Or how many people he’s followed back? That’s right – a big fat zero.

Including glorified hacks on this list just encourage the same behaviour. Umbro does a top job with their Tweets.

I seem to spend most of my life on twitter now…so if you’re a West Ham fan, would love for you to follow me (and mmy blog) on there: http://twitter.com/westhamprocess

Other than that, http://twitter.com/footballutd is dedicated to promoting (and tweeting) quality football bloggers…a little added promotion always helps!

Hi Katrik

We’re still learning how to talk about what we do and to be honest, we’ve stuck to what we know best. In the future we’re looking at having a far closer relationship with our colleagues at Umbro in the US and Scandinavia and South America (http://blog.umbro.com.br/) and Japan (http://www.umbro-jp.com/) and talking about what’s happening globally. It’s unlikely we’d ever rival some of the hardcore twitterers on USL news though… there’s no substitute for following individual passionate fans is there and why would we try and compete with that? I think that’s what makes Twitter so great, that individuals can offer a perspective on things that organisations can’t like you @kkfla737 There’s always @ussoccer for general US soccer too.

The other point to make of course is that Nike and Adidas and Puma don’t twitter officially (unless they’re hiding) – thought the Nike Dunk Shoe had a go for a while http://twitter.com/nikedunkshoes

Thanks very much for listing us in your top ten EPL Talk!

Without a doubt kickette is one of the best written and original blogs out there. Even tho most won’t admit it, guys seem to find it compelling to read to. Tweets are genius at times.

NOOO! don’t listen to the journos – much better to listen to the bloggers, much funnier and less up themselves. twitter.com/twofootedtackle and twitter.com/pitchslap are two of the best.

UMBRO actually owns the United Soccer Leagues here in the US which features the majority of professional and semi professional soccer in this country- recently international standouts such as Eric Wynalda, Jurgen Klinsmann and Romario have all played in the USL.

But the fact that UMBRO cannot be bothered to tweet anything but news about England kits may explain why they have less followers than many US Footy oriented tweeters. It’s actually insulting that the folks in either Beaverton or London cannot give us the most basic USL related news on that UMBRO feed. Come to think of it they don’t give us much Scandinavian news either where UMBRO has a wide scope.

Does Reebok, Puma or Addidas only have 626 followers? I doubt it, but if Adidas only gave Germany national team news perhaps they’d have as few followers as UMBRO. I would recommend people skip following UMBRO.

As for people to follow, Some People on the Pitch should be the first tweeter any one new to Twitter follows if they are serious about the beautiful game. Chris Oakley’s twitter feed is a must if you want to be in the loop as to what is really happening in the world of football.
