  • Didn't attent class enough? SOunds like me my Sophomore year. I failed three classes one english, my absolute fav history(dick teacher, never teached though me doing no work affected that.), and spanish good teacher just a terrible language I was forced to learn since it's the only one my school has.

  • I got a higher grade than John in English. But English is my second language so I should compare to the corresponding class, right? Yep, still have a higher grade.

  • TAKE LUCAS OUT

  • "Sorry, I'm trying to inspire better slash fiction." Most memorable quote of this episode. Is there slash fiction from this series on tumblr or was John trying to make it a thing?

  • god damn it john! clear the ball!

  • Mr. MacAdam :O my history teacher's Mr. MacAdams

  • John, I really think you have some romanticized version of pre-injury Bald John Green in your head. He was good, of course, but he wasn't perfect. Let that falsified memory go, buddy.

  • "I remember I took a class in falkner and other southern writers and she was very helpful AHHH OFF THE POST!!!!!"

    xD

  • This makes me feel a whole lot better about life.

  • I have a feeling that if we'd been in highschool together I would have hated you.

  • Comment removed

  • Okay, it's official with this, people: John Green now endorses slash fiction! GET ON IT PEOPLE!!

    ...or share links or something, GOD!

  • My report cards always say "A pleasure to have in class but..."

  • John, it'd be great of you to link this video to the next one, silly... XD

  • i dont like teachers that try to be your friend i like teachers that ARE your friends and really care about you

  • Top 5? There were indepth descriptions of your English and History teachers, and a vague reference to your (unnamed) pre-calc teacher, who are the other two? People need to know!

  • @cretin76 At no point did he ever say "Top 5", just for the record :)

  • @FlargTheKitty Well spotted! I'm oddly obsessed with lists and must have created a fictional top 5 in my mind! oops.

  • WE DON'T SAY THINGS WEIRD, WE SAY THINGS PROPERLY

  • @usernameunavalible2u YEAHHHHHH EFF YEAH AMERICAN PRONUNCIATION!!

  • of course john makes a video condemning procrastination wile im procrastinating.

  • "Sorry. I'm trying to inspire better slash fiction."

    Oh John... Can you do no wrong?

  • Bald John Green would have put it in the net 10/10... Before the incident. *Shakes head*

  • Wow. I was a much more dedicated English student than you, and you're the famous writer while I struggle to finish my MFA in creative writing. Somehow, this makes me feel better.

  • CLEAR THE BALL!!!!

  • My favorite teacher's name is Brent. He teaches me calculus :D but seriously, this guy has a PhD in mathematics and he specifically told us, his calc 1 class, that is comprised mostly of recent highschool graduates, that he wants us call him by his first name. How awesome is that? Also, he not only makes calc very easy to understand, he inspires you to the point where you WANT understand, and you WANT to do the problems. It is amazing.

  • My goodness!

    With my grades . . . . . . that means the only things holding ME back from becoming a famous writer are laziness and a bad case of dyslexia.

  • RIP Gary Speed

  • Back to back, belly to belly and I don't really care if I'm stone dead already, back to back, belly to bell it's a zombie jamboree!

  • The Bluest Eye and Tweflth Night? Such good books...

  • Your GPA greatly disappoints me

  • Is Raul (spelled wrong maybe possibly?) the same teacher that freaked out at your prank that your posse pulled? With the "WHAT THE FUCK WERE YOU DOING YOU MOTHER FUCKER YOU SCARED THE SHIT OUT OF ME!!!!!!"??

  • When you talked about Bald John Green and Other John Green hugging, if that wasn't in context, that could have been something verry different!

  • I like Fat Lucas. I hope you keep him. :)

  • Dont stick w/ Fat Lucas

  • DUMP LUCAS... please. maybe if the tram is more happy, he'll be more happy.

  • he said "yeah i think john - OH NO FAT LUCAS!!!!"

  • So I got higher grades than you in English. You, John Green...the New York Times bestselling author.

  • @katmanbegins Einstein almost flunked out of school.

  • @katmanbegins It's interesting to note that because it just shows one thing: high school grades do not dictate how well you do in life. ;)

  • @klaytonrocks it does indeed ;)

  • I want Fat Lucas. Fuck all the haters.

    Sorry for my language. But I needed to say it.

  • "Pre-injury bald john green puts that in the net ten times out of ten!" I feel like you've idealized pre-injury bald john green in my mind.

  • OOHHH slash fiction XD

  • Free Fat Lucas!

  • "Oh, look at that moustache! MMHM!" That really cracked me up XD

  • Free Fat Lucas.

  • Fat Lucas does not deserve to be a starter. There are many keepers who deserve that spot and would love to play for Swindon Town but are being kept from helping take Swindon Town to the Premiership because you insist we want Fat Lucas.; but we don't.

  • Please get rid of Fat Lucas.

  • I think John is just making excuses because HE can't' bare to see Fat Lucas go...

  • Hey if you're doing coursework have you thought of getting together with Salman Kahn? Think you guys would be great for that!

  • Free Fat Lucas!

  • @mastmar221 Free Fat Lucas. I like that. Don't let him go, or take him off the squad. Free him. Take some of the stress out of his life. Let him tackle the demons in his own life so he can return to football a stronger man. But when he's ready. Free him from the starting line up. FREE FAT LUCAS!

  • The transition from you as a High School student to you as an adult from what I know about you is astonishing, kind of gives me hope for my generation.

  • I hope you went back and said thank you to him, and any other teachers who were kind to you arrogant-ass teenage self.

    I teach English, and I always wonder what happens to my kids who I badger across the finish line. I always think about a kid named Kevin and I hope he is well. That kid drove me nuts but I would not permit him to fail my course. :)

  • It's lovely how for so many of us (especially when speaking about the people that watch the Miracle of Swindown Town here) John IS the right teacher at the right time in life.

    It's really good because I don't have any other ones.

  • I'M FROM DERBY!!!!!!

  • @ChRoPi21 I'm from Ilkeston, between Derby and Notts! :D Howdy! :D

  • I like the SS line from your teacher. I also still advocate cutting Lucas, if only to remain consistent.

  • I have a teacher that only smiles when he deducts points from students. It's kinda scary.

  • "Sorry, I'm trying to inspire better slash fiction." The world would be a better place if this statement was made more often.

  • I swear I have one teacher who enjoys inflicting pain on students. When she (and she so very often does) see's an opportunity to punish or humiliate a child, you can see the delight in her eyes. 

  • John. I love the idea of history. The thing I always hated in school was the very specifics/precision. As long as I know what happened in the French revolution and why,; why do I need to know that is started in 1789 with Max robespierre? I feel like the ideas are much more important than the specific details.

  • I wish I had a really awesome teacher but most of my teachers are genuinely mean. And no that is not me being a teenager.

  • Look at that mustache mmm LOVE IT!

  • Obviously Bald John Green is doing poorly because he is now a zombie.

  • My current English teacher basically cried at how excited he was for us to start Absalom, Absalom! and how much he loved Faulkner and how wonderful it was to pour bourbon onto Faulkner's grave. I was pretty excited to start, but then I got to the first sentence and died a little.

  • LOL this video becomes a bit pornographic at around 9:27

  • One Size Fitz Hall is really tall 10:43

  • I love how you pause your talk about your teacher seeing your immaturity to say "what a great goal for bald john green." It just goes to show that even mature adults can enjoy a good game of video game soccer!

  • I really think you should bench Lucas.

  • did anyone hear the music/yelling in the background at the end.... cause my bose headphones picked it up

  • Fat Lucas is a beautiful man. Let him shine.

  • I think that we should give Lucas more credit for the actual goals he has saved and all of the moments of panic that he has remedied :)

  • Mr. Feeny has been my best teacher so far.

  • Thanks John! As I am graduating from Teachers college in one short week, this is so encouraging to know that even the annoying students can become great people and do great things!

  • But... I bet you were fun to have in the class with the other douches?

  • John, we love Lucas... but he's pretty terri-bad. We'll live without him.

  • John,

    This was actually very interesting to me. I'm in school now to be a teacher, but I'm not sure if I want to do it. It's not the kids as much as it is the school system. I don't know if I can put up with idiots making legislation. :/

  • 1:55 - Der-bee

  • Englands pronacation is right americans is wrong

  • @lifeonmarsbars Pronacation?

  • bald john green is a zombie! :O

  • Lucas did a great job.

    Is it possible to improve a character through training?

  • I waiting for when John scores from outside the penalty box.

  • John: you do know that you can steer your players' celebrations, right?

  • At 1:44, Bald John Green appears to be pelvic thrusting... I understand that you're proud of your husband for scoring, but maybe not on the field next time?

  • 6:15 that was not offside! both john greens were behind the last defender meaning the pass was onside. i call shenanigans!

  • @arlovm He passed it to a player who was infront of him, offside then :)

  • @MrSilentDoubleA i always thought that if they were behind all the defenders (except the goaltender) then it would not be offside. but you are correct it is the ball which is always the point of reference once behind the defenders. thank you

  • Comment removed

  • Um...we haven't been telling you to stick with Lucas. The top comments on the past couple of videos have all been about dumping Lucas.

  • "I'm trying to inspire better slash fiction."

    the fans of slash fic. thank you

  • "I'm trying to inspire better slash fiction."

    ...wwhhhyyyyyy???

    =Math

  • @psieg40 it really is sad that we get comments like that on games where fat lucas has done nothing but epic saves

  • derpy county?

  • UP WITH LUCAS

  • 2.00 WE do not say things wierdly, YOU take english words and just ruin them for everyone. shameful.

  • OH. he says "bald" john green!! i always thought it was "ball" john green...

  • Just to say, it does occasionally rain when it's sunny in England. We call them woggle days.

  • @nyihead i'm english and i've never heard tht phrase in my life is it a regonal thing or are you just trying to screw with americans?

  • @chaosbringer82 a little bit of column a a little bit of column b :P

  • 1:10 - 1:40 That explains my high school career as of this date. Does that mean I will become a famous author and an England soccer team manager too? YES PLEASE.

  • It's pronouced Darby :)

  • Finally, you played my hometown! :D

  • Who has been saying you should stick with Fat Lucas? Almost every comment I see says get rid of him!

  • I actually can't deal with the pressure of school right now, it's so tough with all the homework & studying I have & then sitting in math class like a complete idiot because I have no idea what to do! I'm trying my very best but I don't feel like I'm living up to my potential & I feel like I'm disappointing my parents. *HEART POUR OVER* DFTBA :)

  • Fat Lucas is obviously going through a rough time, and I believe it's because he focuses too much on football and the team. Let him tackle his own demons first, and if you see improvement put him back in. For right now, however, the club shouldn't be the most important thing in Lucas' life, but as long as you keep him as our starter it will be.

  • @robysword12 You sound like a horoscope

  • Take Lucas out, Train him and then put him back in when he's getting better.

  • Who's insisting on Lucas staying in?!?

  • Bench Fat Lucas! He's holding the Swoodilypoopers back. Don't fire him, just let him sit a few out. Also, train him harder!

  • It is time for fat lucas to go! I'm sorry but it's true!

  • As a forest fan, SMASH THE CRAP OUT OF DERBY! (It is darby)

  • please ... let lucas sit some out ...

  • You should talk about holidy family traditions! :D

  • I was a pretty douchy student, too. What really changed me was my English teacher when I went abroad to the US for a year. He was the first teacher who was able to make me realise that school wasn't a giant waste of time, because all of his assignments made some kind of sense.

  • JOHN, EVERY MATCH WE BEG FOR FAT LUCAS TO BE FIRED!!!!!

  • i'd like to see a crash course in literature!

  • This makes me feel a lot better about my GPA.

  • Your vision of ''pre-injury'' bald john Green is waaaay better than what he actually was and is.

  • Perhaps Fat Lucas just needed to know that you're behind him, John.

  • We need to be loyal to our fat Lucas!

  • Hey John, good game. Can you talk about your experience with the fear of height?

  • Does Mr. McAdam know you became a writer? :)

  • Fat Lucas needs to go

  • Thanks for the video John.

    You played a great game and really dominated in the midfield. You had a lot of momentum throughout the game, but you didn't convert this into goals enough of the time.

    I think you need to be a bit more careful with keeping position when you're in your attacking half, that way you'll win by even greater margins in your future games.

  • YEY GO FAT LUCAS

  • John can you talk about your experiences with depression and what helped when you were ill? (From someone who's having a pretty rough time of it thanks to crap mental health right now)

  • Derby's pronounced to rhyme with Barbie. Just if you're interested...

  • I think Fat Lucas should be made captain for the last game of the season, and then if you gain promotion treat yourself to a new goalie, and treat F.L as a GK Coach :P

  • I am so tempted to get back into writing fanfiction just for Bald John Green/Other John Green.

  • Why not let Fat Lucas take a break for while?

  • The top comment on the last video says bench lucas. WTF john.

  • GET RID OF LUCAS

  • I'm addicted to these videos

  • no give fat lucas a seat! maybe give him a chance to revive his spot on the club but if he cant deliver we dont need him on the team

  • The awkward moment when you're basically younger John Green, but a girl...

  • I think that "Believe in Loyalty" should be the tagline beneath the swoodilypooper emblem.

  • I wonder how you can create all these bio for these players on the spot; then the penny drops, you're a writer! DUH, I feel so lolz worthy..

  • Fat lucas is the heart and soul of the team

  • Slash FICTION?!?!

  • sounds a bit like my electronics teacher, this was with about 3 classes, out of all those i think 4 of us were actually on time to finish, that leaves about 56 of us who were massivly behind, and by god he actually pulled through every single one of us, i have literally no idea how he did it, on the last day till 7pm was me and twenty others, and i got a freaking B at the end of it.

    bosley you legend.

  • Your Mr. McAdam sounds a lot like my high school science teacher, Mr. Pedit. He taught me for 3 years (Honors Chem, AP Bio, and AP Physics B), and as much as I love science, and as friendly as our student-teacher relationship was, I never once got higher than a C in his classes due to laziness. He showed me that just being smart wasn't enough if I wasn't willing to do the work, and that's still holding true in my first semester of college. Enjoy your retirement, Pedit. You old bastard.

  • john greens, john greens, bald and other john green

    they love each other and they love our team

  • Just to clarify, coming back from the injury does nothing to his stats. He is exactly the same.

  • we don't believe in fat lucas!

  • I <3 Fat Lucas!

  • get rid of Fat Lucas 

  • DOWN WITH LUCAS

  • @psieg40 Whoa, whoa, whoa, we want Lucas gone for the good of the club but he's still our Fat Lucas... Let's not be hasty here. He needs to become the assistant coach, it would suit his lifestyle better

  • I had several awesome teachers one after another for five years till I moved and learnt that greatness was not a requirement to teach everywhere.

    For a few years now I've been part of a online direct learning program which is local homeschooling online with actual teachers. I've been so surprised how truly great some of the teachers I've worked with have been. I mean you would expect because they don't see you everyday that they wouldn't be at the same level but they deliver and then some. :)

  • John you need to sit in the perv corner! *points*

  • BENCH FAT LUCAS, I NEED A NEW PLAYER TO LOVE

  • My best teachers were deffs my Drama teachers, I mean it was a weird releationship, like in my senior year (yr 12) they were still teaching me, but it was kinda like we were friends and respected on another...and they taught me the most and encouraged me the most and yeah they were awesome. As well as my ancient history teacher, really helpful in just everyway. So yeah, awesome teachers FTW!!!

  • Get rid of lucas!

  • I severely want to make a "I enjoy vlogbrothers videos 10 times out of 10" tshirt.... uuuugh

  • I hate good teachers sometimes. Its like I always get them when I'm in one of these really deep depressions during which I don't care about anything or anybody and here they come being all caring, helpful, and interesting. They make me feel so GUILTY and then I get more depressed because I remember that I do actually care, very much in fact, and then... yeah, anyway *.* Recently I had this teacher that made me feel like maybe I was worth a damn, that I'm talented and whatever. So that was nice ♥

  • Wait... when Other John Green passed to Bald John Green he was also in front of all the defenders. I thought that therefore it would not be offside?

  • @TheYou0Tuber If both John Greens are ahead of the defenders, there cannot be a forward pass.

  • @TheYou0Tuber No. The player you are passing to cannont be past the last defender when you pass the ball. Doesn't matter where ther player passing the ball is in relation to the defenders. However, if you pass the ball backwards you can't be offside.

  • Just bench Lucas for a wee bit.

  • John? Playing this game as much as you do, are you getting... bored, at all?

  • I find it hilarious that, right after he talks about his high school immaturity, he goes on to inspire John Green slash fiction. :)

  • Wait, John how did get over your procrastinating ways, and began to become a good student?

    Please Thumb up if you also want to know.

  • @MyInterwebs I could be wrong about this.. but I'm not sure John ever became a good student, unless you count the school of life.

  • "I'm trying to inspire better slash fiction..." wow

  • Hearing that John wasn't the best high school student makes me feel so much better about where I am with school.

    There's far too much pressure on senior students here.

    I'm sort of cracking.

  • Ms. Fields was my 8th Grade English teacher, and she was simply the most amazing teacher ever. She taught us tough literature like The Catcher in the Rye and Farenheit 451, and she was an absolute genius at grammar. She's been teaching for almost 40 years, and she's just incredibly funny, personable, and smart.
