I really like it. Worth a watch. Teaching Americans what football means. As a working class game. Watford mentioned as a big club. I’ve even forgiven Ben Foster the last few years. If you haven’t seen it, suspend your worries it’ll be a horrible Americanisation. The two actors seem self deprecating and humble at times. Colourful slice of real peoples lives and they hate Luton
I really enjoyed it as well (once you dispel the notion that it's a fairytale etc!), doing loads of good for the local community and have turned the clubs fortunes around in more ways than one.
It’s a good show (although a bit confusingly directed at times). But it’s major success is that it really understands what football is at its heart. Community, routine, family etc. Most American portrayals of football have tended to focus on spectacular goals and winning major trophies, or hooliganism.
I worry that Ryan Reynolds is not the genuinely likeable affable funny chap he is and that he works damn hard behind the scenes to just come across that way. I shall remain a believer for the time being .
Hateful team. Hope they lose every match and plummet down the leagues. Anyone wanting them to do well needs their head examined. The chastening sound thrashing Blackburn delivered in the cup was one of this season's highlights for me.
I enjoyed the series but like Relegation Certs I thoroughly enjoyed the thrashing they got at Blackburn
Those "plucky underdogs" spent more on wages in the National League last season than Plymouth (who won L1)
Which part of America are these people from? North, Central, South? Chile? Canada? El Salvador? America is a continent - not a bloody country. If they're from the United States then say that. The "of America" part means nothing anyway. France of Europe, Ghana of Africa, China of Asia. It's a bit of an unnecessary and stupid addition to a country name when you think about it. And imagine how fed up you'd be if Germany for example had called itself Germany of Europe and the rest of the world kept talking about 'Europeans' for good or bad, when in fact they meant Germans. Even 'United States' is bad enough really, but if you say that I'll know you're referring to the USA and not the United States of Mexico - a country which of course existed for many, many centuries before the emergence of that monster of the north.
Isn't South America like Dallas and Florida ? North America is like Seattle and Canada innit ? I think they are from the north based on their accents.
