Long, fascinating, and uplifting thread. I'm really glad I saw this 🙂

Over on the Other Place I would occasionally put this thread together, most recently during lockdown, four years ago in fact, and I realised I'd not done it here. So, bear with, and feel free to mute as this is an epic (genuinely, I’m not sure we won’t reach hitherto non-invoked thread limits tbh).

I hope you’re all enjoying this descent into madness.

The important thing to remember is what while I can’t sing, neither can eels, so this little jingle is very scientifically accurate.

So please. Get an eel facts advent calendar. You don’t have to wait until Christmas for eels. EelFacts.Net

Of course we are the 12:30 kick-off because we can’t have a Wrexham game without it being on the TV now, can we?

Soccer pals - my brother, @soccerbedtimestory.bsky.social book is now available in paperback! If you've got some soccer-loving kids in your life, this is a great read for them, and an awesome way to support an educator and fellow sicko:

So true, control in football is an illusion if you can't combine it with productive offense.

Don’t, it’s awesome, far fewer arseholes for one thing.

I, for example, find myself completely unbothered that I am going to miss the home game against palace.
We are so bad I have become numb to it.

Agree that timing demonstrates complete lack of cohesive plan (again). If this was the plan B then it should have been done when there was more time (and games) such as before one of the international breaks.
IMO this style could work in the champ if it is a hybrid with more ball retention, but 🤷
