There's a portion of Football twitter that seems to get offended by absolutely anything. There's nothing remotely insulting in that Oliver Kay piece.
You only have to look at the comments on here whenever the Match of the Day running order comes out, or one of their pundits says anything.

There’s a scene in the film “Moneyball” where the scouts are discussing various players and Billy Beane makes the point that, in the end, they don’t know if a player will work or not, even with the expertise in the room.

Some are writing our new keeper off because he had a number of poor games, with little to no experience, seven years ago!

Give the bloke a chance ffs. Could be Samba mkII or could be another Vlach, let’s at least let him show us what he’s got before we start moaning.

Welcome Matz, all the best for Sunday fella 👏

It’s great to see a keeper venture off his line. That’s what’s happens when you haven’t seen it for a long time with your own keepers. We take things for granted
Spot on. Taking proactive action to defend his goal.. also I like he was their club captain. Sorry but Turner would never have leadership skills… vlad.. lol
 
If metrics are anything to go by, he'll be just as bad as the current ones we have.

Goals prevented, right at the bottom of the division, just like Turner and Vlach.

Saves per match, near the bottom again, I realise the competency of the defence plays a part here.

Average rating around 6.8, Turner's is actually higher.

Only time will tell what awaits.

So it turns out we bid £12 million for Caoimhin Kelleher from Liverpool. I don't understand why, if we had money to spend on Akpom, we didn't just up the bid for the keeper we actually wanted.
We would have had to pay more to put his name on the shirt, though. Then tell people how to say it, even though the first name is basically Kevin.

Well I guess Wayne wasn't using them.

Edit: image may not be quality enough to show the gloves say Wayne Hennessey.

They have Wingstop now as well. idk if you knew about that place during your visits to the eastern (worse) half of this country.

Popeyes is a great idea right up to the aftermath.

Edit: this will become the Sels and fried chicken thread shortly.

Good God, what? Really?

I remember going to one in Boston, once. I think there was one in Detroit too, but we went to Applebees instead, because they had the big tellies in there with the football on (the American kind, not proper football).

Cultural creep is real.

Mind you, the last time I went to Nottingham (over Christmas) I took my daughter to the pantomime at the Theatre Royal, and we walked past a shop that proclaimed to sell „German Kebabs“ (yes, Kebabs, not Kebaps) - as I was frankly appalled at the mis-spelling, I gave the place a wide berth.

The faux-Bierkeller on Friar Lane was bad enough!

Ah ah, so it is a bit like the US-branches of Taco Bell, where you get to buy some tacos, and then get the enjoyment of seeing them again, as they explode out of your anus, the following morning?

Applebees is the best. Nowhere I can find has dollaritas and bottomless boneless chicken wings. Fantastic establishment.

It’s always worth it. Especially drunk or blown, Taco Bell is the best meal for that. Or Jack in the box but that is a specific experience for only those who been to this side of the country.

Steak quesadilla, couple Spicy Potato Soft Tacos and a Baja Blast. Magnifique!

They had decent burgers as well, with the choice of sweet potato fries, and some very nice local IPAs.

As much as people like to shit on Applebees (sometimes it’s deserved), if you need a quick meal with some sports to watch then Applebees isn’t that bad of an option. Burger looks good and any place serving local beers gets tons of respect from me.
