I don't think it'll last: with more & more players trained as long throwers, they can simply hurl the ball back down the touchline towards halfway. Kayode at Brentford is already using his long throw to relieve attacking pressure.

Watched all of season 1 and the first 2 episodes of season 2. Taking a breather now as I do find it very dark.

I'm kind of surprised they slotted it into the comedy category. I mean, drama is standing right there.

And as Jordan pointed out, the actual wording of what the rainbow laces campaign asks players to sign up to is incredibly tame - so if you can't even agree to THAT, it's pretty tricky to find explanations beyond bigotry.

My main thought is to wonder who came up with the cover design mimicking the 80s kidslit phenomena which was the Choose Your Own Adventure books...

Really enjoyed the Kipling chapter: it's made me want to take another look at Stalky & Co, which I was NOT a fan of first time around.

300-char limit scuppered me listing Louie's Lot by E. W. Hildick - for the hilarious selection process to get a gig as a milkman's assistant.
