Prince of Punjab on next season’s shirts or we riot.

I swear every time UFS start a modest fundraiser someone has to be a hard on and demand a full accounting report from the most transparent group around the club, like they don’t always tell the public where every penny goes.

Will be adding a few to my cart. This is a scarf anyone should be very proud to own, and an effort anyone should be proud to support.

Tbf, Union FS is outshining most clubs 👏

Let’s not forget the crooked final that got them promoted.

Does anyone here honestly believe that Cooper makes the squad better than, or at least as good as, the sum of its parts? That is a simple ask of a manager, no? Or is there that much of a talent gap between us and Nottingham Forest, Ipswich Town, Everton, and Palace? It’s OK to admit we’re not in a desirable position as a club. But us being shit doesn’t mean we have to pretend that Steve Cooper is anywhere near being a decent Premier League manager.

That’s fuching sick 👏👏👏

Tune?

Managing is a lot more than putting the right names on a team sheet. It’s clear that Cooper has no idea how to defend and our current players are just as clueless under our current set up. It’s time he actually starts managing these players and making them better than the sum of their parts.
-
Individual happens occur more often when players are not well coached and don’t have a clear idea of the tactical plan for the game. I get the sense that Cooper is not very engaged with our squad during the week.
-
Anyone with some common sense knows that a trophy/promotion parade is neither the time nor the place to ask Vardy or any player about contract negotiations. Still, it was harsh for him to be sacked. I do hope he’s doing well and lands on his feet.

I had my suspicions about @Ric Flair’s Who Are Ya? performances during his early days on the pod but after having a meal with him (and his well-documented IBS) at Paddy’s Marten Inn and seeing the updates on his half-marathon training, I can say with total assurance that this man faces danger head-on and refuses any shortcut to glory.
-
Love it but I’m going to shed a tear every time I hear this and remember we don’t have a purchase clause for him.
-
Was that when we won 6 of our first 7 league games and had a clear identity that everyone could see? Enzo’s style wasn’t for everyone but let’s not make up stories just because you don’t want to let yourself believe you deserve better than Steve Cooper.
-
We conducted the last manager search (which really did not seem very expansive) when we were faced with a looming points deduction. The pool of managers who would consider us has now dramatically expanded.
-
Do you honestly see a future with Steve Cooper at the helm? Do you not think there are better managers available to us?
-
Great to see you! Will keep in touch and send the photos.

Ricardo and Fatawu or we riot.

Sure but nothing close to the level you’d find in America. Try to even find one half-decent Mexican restaurant. Could you casually meet a Peruvian at any time? I’m not trying to be a dick about this, I swear. 😂 You might find one restaurant if you searched hard enough and wanted to travel. I could take you to several Peruvian neighborhoods here and you can try 15 Peruvian restaurants before dinnertime today. Actually, that sounds like a pretty damn good way to spend a day, now that I think about it. 😂 As a percentage, it’s slightly smaller, yes. But as a number, the USA’s population is about 5x higher, and that’s not to mention the astronomical number of people who are second and third generation. I’m going to leave it here. If anyone on the thread is coming over to NY for any of the tournaments or any other time, send me a note, I’d love to meet up— yes, even with you, @Finnegan !😜😜

I need to get back to New Orleans, you’ve just confirmed it.

Christ, man, you made the point you absolutely had to make about American food on a thread about sporting events in America. 😂 There can never be a thread on here that mentions the States without someone dying for any opportunity to get something off their chest. I shouldn’t, but I’m going to step in (politely). America is a f***ing continent. Sure, there are loads of shit here. But there’s a ridiculous range of food in this country (plenty of which is produced here and shipped around the world), which includes contributions from immigrant communities and melting pots well beyond the scope of what’s seen across England. That’s not a dig, that’s just geography, the sheer size of each country and its major urban areas, and how each country built up its respective population. I’ve been to England many, many times; I’ve also been all over America via NYC. Absolutely nobody from New York, New Orleans, Chicago, San Francisco would agree with what you said because those places are all pretty much countries within the country and there’s no excuse to have shit food there. Talking down about food in other parts of America wouldn’t really mean anything to someone born and raised in places like Brooklyn, NY or the Marigny in N.O.. Each of those cities I mentioned is filled with options (take-out, grocery, casual, fine) and quality that just don’t exist in England. And that’s OK! Plenty of other places in America don’t stack up against what you have, and then there are also places in The States that are nothing but embarrassing chains and crap. And I can’t get a pint of Tiger ANYWHERE in the United States, which is a MAJOR point on the board for England (specifically Leicester!). I’ll also happily share that I’m still dreaming of the last curry I had in Leicester. And I f***ing love Greggs and would kill for one over here. There’s also plenty of other great food throughout England and the rest of the UK that stands on its own. And when people sneer at the worst of the worst, it’s because they know they’ll get create outrage and engagement on the Internet. People from both sides of the pond do it to each other, it gets clicks and comments because people cannot help but to fall into those traps and react. Now, back to the discussion about tournaments. 😂 Who’s coming over for the World Cup? You can see for yourself!
