Too lazy to go back. Who is your club?

Watching Welcome to Wrexham. Anyone watched it yet?

I have it queued up to watch next weekend when the lady is out of town. Thoughts so far?

 

[C/O]

Too lazy to go back. Who is your club?

That’s a long list haha. I have about 5 college clubs I follow, ones I have graduated from and worked at.

I have completed some coaching education with various clubs and follow some others out of respect for them and their programs or for what they stand for as a club (Celtic FC, Barca, Dynamo Zagreb, Bodo/Glimt, Dulwich Hamlet, Sutton United, and a few more).

I don’t have a long time loyalty to any single PL club. I tend to watch coaches whose tactics I enjoy the most. The team I watch the most in the PL the last couple years in Brighton. Graham Potter does more with less than about anyone in the league in my opinion.

I don’t really do MLS, because without promotion/relegation what even is the point (Don’t get me started on pro/rel).

But the team I will always follow regardless of how they are doing is Venezia FC. They were the first professional team I ever watched play and they were the reason I fell in love with soccer many years ago, though it’s not always easy to find Serie B matches here stateside.

I apologize for super long response. Soccer is something I can talk for hours on. I watch more soccer than I care to admit and more than my wife can stand. But I do coach on the side and do tactical analysis for the college team’s squad so I tell her ‘I’m working’

I’ve never been able to gain interest in MLS and wasn’t sure why? I think you put your finger on it. It’s the lack of relegation/promotion.

 

[The Dog]

I've never had a MLS team or ever really gotten into it. Maybe, because it's like double A, Smokies baseball compared to the EPL, except I have no home team and could care less. I've tried to become a LAFC fan, since Bale got there, but I'm struggling

Don’t forget. Midweek Gameweek this week in FPL.

It’s pretty good. Only watched the first episode but I was even able to get my wife to watch it because it has Ryan Reynold That’s the only reason though. I tried to get her to watch All Or Nothing: Arsenal with me and she said “No one ever willingly watches Arsenal” I’ve never been so proud of her haha

My wife was a Chelsea fan for about a half. She chose them because she had heard of them and she liked their pretty uniforms. But she quickly abandoned that once she became confused while the whole team was number ‘3’. Despite me explaining it to her why that was the case, the damage was already done.

I hate that sponsor. First, the 3 is confusing to anyone that doesn’t know what it is, but also they “suspended” their sponsorship last season during the sanctions and tried to get Chelsea to remove it from their uniforms (we didn’t) and then once Boehly was named they came crawling back and threatened to raise hell if Boehly cancelled their last year of the contract. They will be on the jersey this year and that’s it. Boehly wants them out and to bring in new sponsors that will pay more.

Three UK: We would like to continue with our 3 sponsorship next year.
Todd Boehly: 4
Three UK: 4?
Todd Boehly: Forget it.

I figured there would be some kind of by-law saying that the sponsor logo on the jersey cannot be a number, because the players themselves obviously have numbers. I get that in soccer the player numbers are only on the back, but still.

You’d think so. The strange thing is they actually have a secondary logo which is spelled out instead of the number, but they chose the number one instead.

I remember the first time I saw the "3" on Chelsea's jerseys, I thought, why the hell does all the players have the same damn number. I thought it was like that Jackie Robinson thing, baseball does once a year and was a one time thing, I was wrong

I wish you didn’t remind me

Tomorrow is a huge day for the Alpha Dogs. Mitro, Reece James, Toney and Ward-Prowse, that I know for sure are playing. I, either sink (stay in the middle of the pack) or swim (make my way into the top half of the table) this week and it starts tomorrow

 

[Nash_Vol97]

 

[Nash_Vol97]

Oooof. This week may be rough. Already have 3 injured on the bench and now Reece James isn’t playing today due to illness. He still may play Saturday though so even though I found out about it just in time to put him on the bench, I kept him in anyways. Also didn’t really have a choice with already having 3 others out so it is what it is.

 

[Nash_Vol97]

Also, I love how the PL fantasy didn’t say anything about his “knock/illness” until after the 12 PM deadline. He didn’t have any injury notification when I looked right before 12, and then now, after the deadline at 12:17, he does have an injury notification. Thanks fantasy.
