Nice references to Morrissey, The Sopranos, 2001 and Alan Partridge this week.

I imagine you're not supposed to go barefoot whenever you wear jeans. So what is the intended complement of "shoes"?

In Dutch, all these categories would fall under "schoenen", which we translate directly to "shoes". We do have "laarzen" as a translation of "boots", but it's mostly meant for these:
or these:
We do steal the word "sneakers" for a subcategory of "schoenen", and I imagine that this broadly corresponds to what you call "trainers". I'm still fuzzy on what can and cannot be "boots". I think I have a rough idea about "shoes" now.
I guess I should draw a Venn diagram at this point.

The final gag is a repeat, incidentally. Squires has done Mourinho as Partridge with the "Can I just shock you" line before, talking about wine with Ferguson.
Still, works nicely here anyway.

The jeans and shoes reference now cleared up, I just need the At -the Drive In (and, indeed, all Mourinho's posters) explained and I missed the Sopranos reference completely so probably that as well.

The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus were an emo era band, I think the visual is of an Arsenal Fan TV guy.
I'm had to look up Cap'n Jazz but they were apparently influential on emo acts and I presume it's a reference to Xhaka's recent problems.
Uncle Junior frequently upset Tony by saying he was "never a Varsity athlete".

I liked Roy Hodgson's head turning 180° (with 180 helpfully written on by Squires), because he looks like an owl.
Morrissey's jeans were disgustingly ill-fitting as well as being paired with shoes, I think the cut of them drew more attention than the footwear choice.
