Twitter has added its own Premier League emoji, meaning you can use richer tweets than ever to express your sincere belief that Southampton will surprise everyone by dominating the new season. As with the World Cup team emoji from last summer, you make each crest show up by entering a hashtag — most importantly #saintsfc, of course, but other, lesser teams like #MUFC and #CFC are also supported in the name of inclusivity.

I recommend using the #saintsfc hashtag to display a Southampton emoji every time superstars like Graziano Pellè and Sadio Mané put a goal past Newcastle United — which, in case you were wondering, will happen several times — on the first game of the season this Sunday. Remember that these are non-standard emoji, though, so they’ll only work on Twitter.
