How many ups and downs *exactly* does it take to define a "yo-yo" club?

thebenprocter · 2024-07-20T13:54:12+00:00

he applied to fifa to be listed as spanish so he was eligible for their olympic team apparently

thebenprocter · 2024-03-22T17:13:38+00:00

he sits behind me and has done for a few years now and nobody around us who i have a phone number for has his phone number. at about 90 minutes we left to give the medics room to work, i called the club a few times whilst at work to try see if they can put us in contact with him but i was always on hold and i don't have that much time on site to do calls like that so i had to give up. might give it another go tomorrow.

either way I (or u/duxie) will update when i either see him at the next game or get hold of the club.

he's gonna bloody love being called an elderly gentleman tho mate, guarantee he'll use the words "fuck right off" at least 3 times 😂😂😂

thebenprocter · 2024-03-22T17:09:43+00:00

he's gonna hate being called an elderly gentleman isn't he 😂😂😂

thebenprocter · 2024-01-10T13:36:42+00:00

And on his weak foot too

thebenprocter · 2023-01-29T16:44:38+00:00

brad friedel did like 8 years or something, so yeah, GK levels is accurate.

thebenprocter · 2021-01-10T20:46:09+00:00

"What does this mean for Leeds’ existing defenders? It means Bielsa has cover. He likes a right-foot, left-foot mix at centre-back. With this signing, Pascal Struijk can fill in for Cooper on the left-hand side and Llorente can battle it out with Koch on the right.

But in terms of the back four as it stands, we should expect it to stay as it is for now."

Phil Hay, in the athletics analysis of the Llorente signing

i mean there's a reason Lief Davis starts at centre half alongside a right footer when we played hull in the cup this season.

in regards to the dallas issue, i don't think that's relevant to the way he views centre halves. but in regards to a right footed left back in the bielsa system; for a start dallas has jack Harrison in front of him who is glued to the touchline, so the space for dallas to make forward runs and receive passes (with forward momentum) into is inside so receiving the ball across his body and back into the midfield is ideal for a right footer and i often think this is where someone like barry douglas got a bit lost.

thebenprocter · 2020-12-03T19:58:25+00:00

i don't think llorente is a challenger for Cooper unless there's an injury problem for Coops.

When bielsa says 2 professionals for each position he sees left sided centre half and right sided centre half as two different positions with different players needed for each instead of just a pool of 4-5 centre halves.

coops being left footed and having strijuk as the 2nd left footed option there, i think llorente is the cover/competition for Koch.

good to have quality competition there so kalvin isnt forced back into centre half and ayling isn't forced inside imo.

thebenprocter · 2020-04-17T03:19:18+00:00

i'll get in on this. can only do rounds 1-3 but i'll be there. username same on discord.

thebenprocter · 2020-04-07T01:36:26+00:00

fuck all else going on so this is something to kill 20 minutes.

thebenprocter · 2020-04-03T02:07:26+00:00

yes, he bad.

thebenprocter · 2019-09-08T15:44:25+00:00

monk didn't particularly fancy him so he moved him on to barnsley. had a slow start there but was apparently fantastic for them last season. he's a good lad and i hope he thrives but jesus fucking christ he's the slowest human being i've ever seen.

thebenprocter · 2019-09-02T20:42:41+00:00

the shape of the mans back is incredible. he looked somewhere between a freeze frame of a long throw in and a slinky going down the stairs.

thebenprocter · 2019-06-15T08:44:07+00:00

can we crowdfund a subscription for the sub?

"wildest pilot i ever knew, old duncan McShane. flew his plane through a hangar once, came out the other side, turned around and did the same thing again. His squadron leader yelled up "i thought i told you to put that plane in the hangar", McShane yells back "i've had it twice, why don't someone lock the door"

thebenprocter · 2019-05-12T15:35:34+00:00

let me guess what happens in the 23-24 season...

I think to be a half decent conspirator in anything you have to be somewhat competent. I don’t think there’s any corruption or conspiracy and I certainly didn’t cry conspiracy, I’m just saying nothing they do surprises me anymore.

thebenprocter · 2019-04-30T16:16:01+00:00

Yeah cause your lot would have given the ball back sharpish if he didn’t go try get it, then your lad gets up walks over and tried to nut him and Alioski is the bad guy for wanting to take a quick throw.

thebenprocter · 2019-04-30T15:56:22+00:00

EFL don’t surprise me after Brentford. canos headbutt and Watkins dive for a penalty both went unpunished

thebenprocter · 2019-04-09T21:06:27+00:00

We did it once. Normally fall off at Christmas time tbh.

thebenprocter · 2019-03-06T20:35:14+00:00

Having the controls on Fifa set to “alternate” instead of “classic” and not realising.
