my suggestions for erik ten hags replacement:
gary neville
erik eleven hag
ole gunnar solskjær but with a moustache
phil neville
jose mourinho (he did say he wanted to manage a team in the bottom half of the prem so it's a perfect fit)
phary neville (gary neville on phil neville's shoulders wearing a big trench coat)
erik twelve hag

Rogers gay cup? Like, laver cup? Genuine question I'm new here and to fedal lore
anon. anon you've just made my day actually. I was in fact alluding to this picture below but the laver cup is indeed roger's metaphorical gay cup as well

When I was a kid I thought there were so many more swear words than there are. But in actuality we get like. ten before it just turns into slurs. Deep down, I’m still disappointed.

Episode 307 - Interview with HeyJulien, Football RPF and Carraville writer
🎧 Episode available on any podcast app, Spotify, or stream here!
Like a bicycle kick goal at minute 95, Sara finally completes editing on a much overdue interview with fellow Carraville author @heyyjulien !
Sara and Julien talk about the world of football RPF (as in soccer, for all you Yankees); specifically the delightfully odd-couple rivals-to-lovers ship of English football pundits Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher. Other talking points scattered across the pitch include: football as war, derby days and football rivalry; the joys of local non-league football, the Bundesliga and fußballkultur; to switch POV, or not to switch POV; the annoying beauty of David Beckham; and of course, we discuss the tragically under-utilized in fic friendship of Paul Scholes and Gary Neville (or, Scholesy as the Kermit to Gary Neville’s Miss Piggy).
Join us, if you like!
Correction - at 03:22:32 we incorrectly refer to our wonderful fellow Carraville author as ‘player1604’-- their handle is @player1064, which is a reference to Gary Neville’s England legacy number. Gary was the 1,064th player to play for England’s National Team. More notes, references, and time caps below the cut.
