Crazy Ted posted:

Among the many doomed and dreadful writing projects I occasionally pretend to be working on is a Bret Easton Ellis-style football novel about a hip, talented, existentially glazed and clueless wonderkid being passed around Europe’s super-clubs by the shady financial powers that run the world game.

The lead character is an interchangeable young star, probably Portuguese, called something generic like Rui Pinto or José Costa. Tattooed and glossed, garlanded with premature honours, his entire private and professional life is owned by a Gestifute-style talent agency. He wears sunglasses and huge headphones and speaks mainly in emojis, while being shuttled from elite subs bench to seven-star hotel, generating endless income without any noticeable interaction with the human world.

I would read this.

Plea to fellow Spurs fans: don't sing that the opposition are 'effing poo poo'. Apart from being stupid and unfunny it risks winding up the opposition and improving them. Gives us a bad name too. All the other singing is great... best atmosphere in the Prem, certainly now the Palace bubble has burst again.

Hoo-boy. Another one of these. Is there this level of cross-promotion in Europe at all? 90% of American fans are autists who try to analyze football in the dumbest loving ways.

Which superhero is England left-back Danny Rose? What position would Marshawn Lynch play on a Premier League side? Why Christian Pulisic is just like Anakin Skywalker, and Dortmund is Naboo and Jose Mourinho is the Emperor but Pulisic will join Klopp and the Rebellion and then :commissar:

Fellaini gets so many fouls against him purely due to him not being a little bitch and fairly using his superior strength over smaller players, its a shame that all they have to do is fall holding their arm, leg or head to draw a foul.

Italian coaches are excellent. Tactically astute, students of the game, and to get to the top level, they must be experienced and battle hardened. I think it's particularly easy for Italian managers to win the PL because the game is very different. It's often a mile a minute and helter skelter - players running around manically. A minimum of organization, tactical intelligence, and training seems to be enough to win. Certainly it's enough to give a big edge. It's another reason teams of British players fare so badly on the world stage.
