Was a surprisingly fun way to tank my productivity on Monday.

Honestly, the fact that you mentioned it having a definite end was a huge factor in making me click on that link.

I’m really excited about Ange at Spurs. Regardless of whether he’s coaching a team I like, I’ve looked into the guy when his signing was announced and I’m genuinely inspired by his words, and I’m someone who is generally averse to inspiring fluff talk. Ryan Mason too, he has an appearance on some coaching podcast where he talks about his life experience and I actually feel inspired to go out and do things in a different way - also something that I don’t feel often, much less feel from hearing some guy I don’t know talk in an uplifting tone online.

Not directly related to the goings-on of an actual game, but it’s been on my mind. I hope we get some fun football out of the team next season, I can’t wait to be actually excited to watch their matches.

That said, isn’t that how leagues work in the US for most sports? The bottom teams are constantly given legs up to keep the winners cycling. That’s what the whole draft system is about, right? Full disclosure: I know close to nothing about US sports.

No disrespect to US sports fans or athletes but over there it seems more like the brand they care about is the league itself, as an entertainment product, compared to football teams in most of the world which are much more independent. Even just the name “franchise” says something.

Due to how haphazard it’s been with community growth, there’s always the possibility that another one will take off if spam or other issues start piling up here.

For now there’s a tiny amount of content at all, let alone spam.

Although I must admit, having the proper “Football” community instead of “Soccer” is nice.
