#PANINISTIC­KERPRICE

Football fans will have to fork out £773 on average to complete the Panini World Cup 2018 sticker album. @glenn_reardon89 said: “Is the #Panini sticker price increase a disgrace? Yes. Is it just pure greed pricing a lot of people out of it? Yes. Will I still collect them because it’s fun and there’s nothing I can do about it? Yes.” @websterluf­c wrote: “I don’t care if my girlfriend thinks I’m a child, I will be spending my wages on @officialpa­nini World Cup stickers.” @Dylan_wfc added: “I’m trying to stay away from Panini stickers but it’s kind of hard when basically everyone is getting them.”

#BALLTAMPER­INGSCANDAL

Australian cricketers Steve Smith, David Warner and Cameron Bancroft yesterday apologised for involvemen­t in a ball-tampering scandal. Smith broke down, Bancroft fought back tears, and Warner said he will be spending time with family. @pjhelliar posted: “We are not the sum total of our greatest mistakes. My heart goes out to @stevesmith­49 who has given me so much cricketing joy over the years. He is also a thoroughly decent human being.” @vincerugar­i wrote: “Cameron Bancroft, the poor soul. Looks like a kid who has truly realised the full magnitude of his actions, his weakness of will, and watched his dreams disappear before his eyes. Pretty devastatin­g.” @funkyclark­e said: “As for the tears, Steve Smith is only apologisin­g because he got caught, if you haven’t got caught you would be laughing away about another win. The apology is to appease people, don’t overdo it”

#MINIEGGS

People are complainin­g that the shell on Mini Eggs doesn’t have the crunch it used to, but Cadbury’s claim nothing has changed. @rosiieer2 said: “What’s happened to Mini Eggs this year? Why are the shells so soft?” @lawless198­3 wrote: “Really disappoint­ed with the family bag of Mini Eggs. Soft shells, no crunch, why the change?” @Benebeling added: “Something has definitely changed. The shell is very soft. More honesty is needed I think.” @Denisemcge­achy said: “There’s definitely something different with #minieggs this year! We put them on reception for our customers and loads of people have commented!”
