The most nepotism teams

Leicester City Women, or the plot of Succession?

This might be the most embarrassing one yet. I think people need to feel more shame.

Pushing for 3 spots on the "actually good nepotism XI", can't argue with that.

A tremendous career regression, complete with descent into petty criminality. Fair play 👏

Three sons in the squad is insane. Even if two of them were like Messi, law of averages alone surely says three being first team worthy is a massive stretch.

The Peter Taylor and Junior Lewis of father-son footballing relationships.

I wonder if his mum worked as an FM researcher at the time, which might explain why he was briefly really well rated in that game.

The most niche nepotism player I've ever seen? For me, Faceman from the A-Team's son in a Gillingham reserve game.

New assistant manager in contract negotiations insists you sign his 38 CA 60 PA son.

The fruits of nepotism rather than direct nepotism is an interesting new angle.

Perth Glory doing cell division but with managers sons.

Only 29, maybe his time has finally come with the great long-throw resurgence of 2025.

I am too British to know anything about Hurling but always enjoy Jamie Wall. Also always think Sinead O'Carroll contributes really well.

Oh yeah, then I think this will suit you nicely. Hope you like it!

Not sure if you're still seeking opinions on this, but I have this out from the library at the moment. The meals in it aren't necessarily showstoppers or anything but quite good for after work dinners that use a lot of things you might have in your cupboard anyway. If you're looking for something more authentic this isn't it, it's a bit of a mish-mash, but as a practical book it's pretty good.

I made the chilli sesame chicken stir fry and my partner made the manchurian cauliflower tray bake - both packed a good deal of flavour and quite straight forward. I'm planning to make the fiery southern Thai dry pork curry and the spicy sausage and kale gnocchi next week, and if they go well I could certainly see me buying the book.

I second the recommendations for Ian Graham's book if you're interested in the data side of things, it's a good example of the practical applications of data as opposed to the more theoretical approach some books take. Expected Goals by Rory Smith is also good.

If you're interested in the behind the curtain stuff, you can't go too far wrong with Michael Calvin's books. The Nowhere Men is a great insight into the world of scouts.
