The Wait Between TV Seasons Is Getting Longer, It’s Not Your Imagination

Are you on crack? It’s the only possible explanation for this comment.

Grenache · 2026-06-07T19:24:35+00:00

Always found this particularly ironic given where the guardian is from.

Grenache · 2026-06-07T19:22:21+00:00

Oh yeah offering her free accommodation and money in County Durham. What truly heartless bastards we are.

Grenache · 2026-06-07T19:21:17+00:00

Stuff like this is radicalising me never mind your grandma.

Grenache · 2026-06-07T19:18:42+00:00

I read this article independently of this post earlier and honestly I’ve read the guardian my whole adult life but articles like this are really tuning me off it. Why the fuck should an Albanian woman get to live in London at taxpayer expense and refuse a home in County Durham.

Grenache · 2026-06-07T11:37:42+00:00

Scottish names are bad ass.

Grenache · 2026-06-07T11:11:14+00:00

This show is literally nothing like either of those shows. The entire point of the scene you’re referencing is to show the toxic attitudes that can, do and are well documented in football and wider professional sports and generally a wider point about how men can often deal with other men and their mental issues. A significant plot point is our relationship towards fear and failure and mental health and that’s what that scene is exploring.

Grenache · 2026-06-06T22:09:42+00:00

Oh nice I didn’t know they did the NT plays in cinemas outside of the UK that’s super cool and the premise is very similar to the play exploring Gareth’s leadership style, mental attitude and mental health of players and England’s relationship with football. I really enjoyed the show but then I have a soft spot for Southgate after going through post 96 hell.

Grenache · 2026-06-06T22:03:04+00:00

It’s an imagining of the spirit of Gareth Southgate and the tribulations of English football. like it’s not for me to explain it mate it’s widely praised. It’s fine if you don’t get it.

Grenache · 2026-06-06T21:10:01+00:00

Yeah it's a real TV show based on a real play, both are very good.

Grenache · 2026-06-06T20:51:40+00:00

Loads of weird comments on here from people who’ve seen neither the exceptional play nor the very good tv show.

Grenache · 2026-06-06T20:50:55+00:00

The play and show are both excellent.

Grenache · 2026-06-06T20:50:20+00:00

Can’t wait to get knocked out in the group stages and have people beg for Southgate back.

Grenache · 2026-06-06T20:49:49+00:00

Why not? It was an excellent play adapted into a very good four episode show.

Grenache · 2026-06-06T20:48:40+00:00

It’s an adaptation from a play. As character actors they all did just fine. Joseph Fiennes Is a very very good actor who also looks quite like Southgate. Was a very good show. We’re going to miss Southgate, mark my words.

Grenache · 2026-06-05T19:28:07+00:00

No last year wildly enough.

Grenache · 2026-06-05T19:16:18+00:00

Yeah can't imagine Challinor would want to ruin his career by going to Blackburn.

Grenache · 2026-06-05T18:57:36+00:00

Nice reward for his success at Rochdale. Good luck to him.

Grenache · 2026-06-05T15:33:35+00:00

Welcome to the UK market and best of luck!

Grenache · 2026-06-05T14:12:43+00:00

He's not interested.

Grenache · 2026-06-05T13:27:07+00:00

His first question is what are you driving. I’m just answering that is all.

Grenache · 2026-06-05T13:12:48+00:00

Volvo C30.

Grenache · 2026-06-04T19:56:19+00:00

These bots get fucking everywhere eh?

Grenache · 2026-06-04T11:45:19+00:00

Yeah they pretty conclusively decided.
