    I unironically like Ted Lasso, particularly since one of the writing staff and actors is a Tottenham fan and had the fictional Richmond beat Spurs in an FA Cup semifinal. Proper Tottenham support there.

    I understand this makes me eligible for your list.

    It did last night. I've mellowed a bit since then.

    Still ... I liked you better before. :whistling:;)

    Very hate worthy.

    But the sausage fest can use a bird or two. I'll take a few squawks over Tommy Smyth and Ray Hudson blowing their loads into my ears.

    Cheerleaders at football matches (I think Palace used to have them: so un-Southwest-London-like)

    I remember my first time in Lisbon, I went to Benfica (as you do), and they had this dance troup, doing the very things that The Crewzers were doing in Columbus- only doing it even worse. You go in with romantic images of Eusebio and Bela Guttmann, and you get The Crewzers. Bit of a comedown, that.

    England wearing blue or white/blue kits. I know the lions are blue. I don’t care. White and/or red.

    Trophies as a measure of a player's worth/success.
    That would mean that David May is one of the all time PL greats, when the truth is he mostly warmed a bench for 9 years at Old Trafford.

    I call it the Patrick McCaw Syndrome.

    In his first 2 years in the league as a member of the Golden State Warriors (2016-17, 17-18), he was a bit player on their championship teams.

    He then ended up in Cleveland, where the Raptors picked him up in the middle of the 2018-19 season, and he ended up getting his 3rd ring in 3 seasons as Toronto went on to win the NBA that year.

    It's all about timing. McCaw is now playing for Delaware in the NBA G League. I bet he's the only player in that league with 3 rings.

    Episode 3. PL table Tottenham at the bottom with a -4 goal differential after a pasting from City. Like I said proper Spurs fans in the writers’ room.

    Pffft.

    We've beaten City 5 of the last 7 in the League.

    Footballers and managers paid millions who give up or don't try.

    That was a different Spurs from a different dimension. The modern version is straight out of The Twilight Zone.

    Animated advertising hoardings. And now we have them in hockey along the boards.

    It won't be long before we see them on outfield walls at baseball...

    i notice Man City has two rows of advertising boards. They have them aligned in such a way that on the broadcast it looks like a single board that’s twice the height of a normal one.

    That was really extra annoying watching the game on Saturday.

    And it was a shame because some of the football from City was brilliant.

    It makes what we play look like dogshit.

    The fact that Ndombele is extremely likely to win Serie A with Napoli this year. Actually, I don't just hate that. I find it hilarious too.

    Ndombele played well against Milan when he came on in the 0-4 loss. I was impressed.
