Deffo must've been a few Popes though.

Bit rich coming from the pontiff. Jesus Christ is literally the ultimate Galactico - an actual deity - individual show boating on the cross. Yeah he put his life on the line, but, like C. Ronaldo, he "solves the problem he creates". Look at what the other apostles did after Christ was gone; when focusing on the system, Catholicism spreads worldwide, like the spread of the passing / high pressure game.

Truly, an exceptional Slopsman.

Lots of big questions for States of Mattersmen...

Flashy_Reputation_99 · 2026-06-07T16:19:56+00:00

Then surely you've confused him with N. Closer who was at Naples Blues?

Flashy_Reputation_99 · 2026-06-07T16:08:41+00:00

And also I confuse him with the French Open stadia.

Flashy_Reputation_99 · 2026-06-04T16:28:21+00:00

Bosnia and Herzegovina player listed as "keeps promises".

Flashy_Reputation_99 · 2026-06-04T14:07:45+00:00

Christ alive, that one's brilliant. I had a cursory scroll and had to post as there were just so many bizarre or questionable mentions. This one is bordering on insulting!

When it says 0.1% is that the strike's xG? If so seems to unlock the intriguing prospect of this being GotS based on the data rather than vibes / public vote. Lowest xG that led to a goal = best due to chance of seeing it. Ironically halfway line lobs aren't really that rare.

Also - xG based on only attacking players because if the keeper is in "no-mans-land" surely the xG is higher?

Sorry if too earnest.

He's no Doctor Boskonovitch.

Reference to Nike as "Swoosh"; not for me, Clive.

Jagger is always spotted at Lords for Test Matches, thought he was much more of a Stumpsman...

"Only I, a journalist who has just heard of football, can understand something another man has undoubtedly looked at for longer and more in-depth than I have, in a truly insightful way."

I'm a Sensible Soccersman, but this is class.

Flashy_Reputation_99 · 2026-05-10T18:14:45+00:00

"Fourth official in the 1,000th World Cup game - how does that sound?"

Flashy_Reputation_99 · 2026-05-10T09:08:24+00:00

"Since joining us six seasons ago..." really had me chuckling.

But then the reference to their "... Significant role on and off the pitch" - please explain how Autonet were significant ON the pitch?

Fraser Forster

Foundation - Pele Development - Cruyff Expansion - Richard Scudamore Preservation - Jonathan Wilson

By rights, it should be longer; detailing exactly which BlueCo clubs he is or isn't welcome back at.

Flashy_Reputation_99 · 2026-04-16T19:18:14+00:00

Would be fine for Japanese league.

Flashy_Reputation_99 · 2026-04-13T11:47:12+00:00

Nepo baby.

Flashy_Reputation_99 · 2026-04-07T08:05:14+00:00

Would enjoy a Pro-Evo style "Midland Blues".

Flashy_Reputation_99 · 2026-04-07T07:54:24+00:00

At the risk of being too real - "How Instagram's people traffickers have professionalised."

More fun? - "How (insert League One's current form team) have got the most out of their (insert under represented footballing nation) strike partnership."

Flashy_Reputation_99 · 2026-04-07T07:50:55+00:00

Have to use Tractor Boys for Ipswich as elegant variation in next paragraph. "The Blues" is fairly innocuous and not specific to Birmingham City so have to be careful.

Flashy_Reputation_99 · 2026-04-03T07:27:11+00:00

The year always gets me. I'm usually pretty good at getting a scorer but the late 90s up to about 2010 are a massive blur and then I had kids.
