John - if someone was going to make an MP3 in order to embarrass you with out of context things you've said... I just don't think they'd need that audiobook to do it.
"Best of humiliating john mp3." That is definitely going to be a thing now that he mentioned it. Also, I almost spit out my water when John tried to do the 16 year old girl voice. Pretty much everything from 7:00-7:55 had me peeing my pants.
John, please talk about your gallbladder problems. Specifically what it was like having it removed and what happened after. I'm having gallbladder problems and might need surgery. I'm really really scared and I could use some reassurance.
Patrick Smith, homage to the genious that is Steven Patrick Morrissey of The Smiths, "most important alternative rock band to emerge from the British independent music scene of the 1980s"
That 'Best of: Humiliating John'-Audio-book NEEDS to be made. ("And then I took of my bra.."/"And he was so handsome and I liked him sooo much."/"What?! He's sexy. I can't help myself.")
433 doesn't suit. It's personal preference, I currently play what could be called 514. I'd suggest trying out a 4312, so have a CAM, it makes it a lot easier to release strikers.
If you have Leeroy Williamson in central midfield, hold the LB button and play a short pass to BJG. Leeroy will attempt a one-two pass and overlap, looking for the through ball. This will be more effective than trying to run the field with him all the time. I think this could be a really effective play for the Swoodilypoopers. Who knows, maybe we'll have to change the song to: "Leeroy Williamson, scores fairly often" :P
If you're gonna play 4-3-3 you have to play Bald John Green as the central striker. His physicality will help him hold off opposition centre backs (and lessen the 'isolation' that you felt with Other John Green playing there). That way he can turn and feed through balls through to O.J.G. and Voluptuous.
Another tip: play more patiently. Feed the ball out wide more often, play short passes and keep possession rather than dribbling all the time.
If he's narcissistic, then he's Pygmalion Smith... OR ever heard of the Pygmalion effect? Does P.Smith perform better when you up your expectations? I never hear you say "you're better than that, P. Smith," so maybe not.
Pandora may be, despite being female, the best for P. Smith-mysterious to us. Poseidon's an earth shaking sea god/Prometheus fire,&Perseus killed lots of monsters. Phaethon's friends teased him. Those aren't our P. Smith. Generic=name him Pandion, honorable ancient Athens king.
Paladin Smith, pronounced like Aladdin(but with a "p" in front). John should sing "A Whole New World" if this name is chosen. I'm so sleepy, never mind my nonsensical gibberish.
This guy on my schools soccer team was talking about how he scores occasionally. I started to sing Leroy Williamson's song. Everyone was confused. I regret nothing.
We love ya! We love ya! We love ya! And where you go, we'll follow! We'll follow! We'll follow! Cuz we support the Poopers! The Poopers! The Poopers! And that's the way we like it! We like it! We like it! OH OH OOOOOOHHHHH!!!!
... Dear Fat Lucas. I love you. I'm sorry that you couldn't do what you wanted, but at least you're still on the team. Our hearts go out for you. You are perfect in your own way.
Also John, I think in Advanced tactics settings, you can adjust the width of your players, so you can keep 4-3-3, but have everyone closer to the centre of the field for you storming central runs.
You should change the lineup a little bit. The 4-3-3 one is good, but for your style of play I recommend you position your strikers closer to each-other, so they will all be in the middle of the field.
John, you should try a 4-2-3-1. It's good because your line of 3 are automated as attacking midfielders--a position in which you can play strikers (i.e. Bald John Green, Cteve Austin, etc.) in order to support OJ Green in centre-forward. Maybe trial it? YNSA (You'll Never Swoodlypoop Alone)
Folks, I was in school with him in years 7 through 9, and though he does everything he can to keep it from getting around, his name is Proinsias Smith.
John, the 4-3-3 is spreading out your forwards too far. I'm not sure why but when making a run up the side the opposite forward is not getting into the play at all.
I think the 4-3-3 is good for deep runs to the corners with high crosses for the header, but your style is more direct runs with small crosses on the ground. The 4-4-2 allows the Midfield press up more and support your play in front of the net instead of isolating strikers in the corners.
John, I just got back from Amsterdam which was a gift trip for my 21st from my girlfriend. When I was walking around the beautiful city I kept thinking to myself - I am following in the footsteps of John Green. (Then I went to Anne Frank's house and realised I was also walking on the same streets as the Nazis which made me a little upset).
It lacked soul for me... The team looked fragile wide, the fullbacks need the go forward, and with the players we have - no chance to play 4-3-3 as it is supposed to be played. Also I noticed the defenders are playing better when Fat Lucas is not in goal, as they don't have the security of the big man on the back. And lastly, when we go to the Premier League, if you don't play Fat Lucas at least once, we shall hold you personally responsible!
The highlight of the day for me was after the game in the press conference when Patrick Smith (the new Swoodilypoopers goalie) gave his thanks for the support he received form the team, the fans and most importantly his mentor and idle Fat Lucas. So thankful was Smith that he announced his plans to celebrate his first game, a shutout victory, by honouring his teammate and good friend (Lucas) with officially changing his name to Plump Smith.
Defensively and offensively, your full backs aren't appropriate. You should play wing backs and use them as an outball when you need width (ie don't always pass it forward). This holds that you should play three centre backs.
You need Three central midfielders, but not flat; play a 1-2 or 2-1, eg Lallana further forward than his midfield compatriots and closer to the forwards.
Keep the Greens together in a 2 ahead of the midfield.
Conclusion: play 3-4-1-2 with wing backs and a non-flat midfield.
Play 433, but bring in Bald john green and V.pericard into the centre more, or drop them back to play behind the main striker. So like a 4-3-2-1 formation.
John who told you 4-3-3 was good? 4-3-3 pushes v.pericard and bald john green out wide so they can't run in support when other john green makes a break. This puts more pressure on other john green to finish and means he can't pass to bald john green for an easy finish (which is how you get most of your goals). IT SAYS FOUR FOUR TWO ON THE SWOODLIPOOPERS SHIRTS FOR A REASON
I think introducing a honey badger to the team would be very useful, because honey badgers are very fearless and badass. Just like the Swoodilypoopers.
On the official facebook fanpage was a suggestion for Pudge, which is kinda of cool since it's keeping with the theme and it's a Looking for Alaska reference.
John why don't you try 4-3-1-2? With the usual back four and middle three, V. Pericard at CAM (centre attacking midfield) and Bald and Other John Green up front, but not isolated from each other, which I hate to see in this formation as no one should be forced to play apart from the one they love. DFTBA
John, will you PLEASE write a novella about the Swoodilypoopers for the PFA? I know its a bit too soon, but oh well. I thought I might as well ask. o Ao;
I think john is deluding himself into believe he is keeping fat lucus, and the john in because we would be so outraged if they werent.. But i think that he just plays favorites WAY too hard.:)
John You're right, the 4-3-3 isn't working out, that's why I suggest to you again to use the 4-1-2-1-2 formation which suits your up the middle style of play much better. Also you have your forwards sprinting constantly, you gotta give them some breaks
From what I can see, there are three main comments: 1) John, you're entire team is too exhausted and your screwed if you don't rest them before final, 2) The 4-3-3 line up just doesn't work for lots of reason, including it's reliance on the midfielders you don't know the names of and it giving OJG too much to do, and 3) P. Smith, whose name should be Peewee Smith, Fat Lucas's illegitimate/long lost love child that found him and rose through the ranks to join the swoodilypoopers.
If the swoodilypoopers make it to the premiere league could we get Gerrard? Imagine a 4-3-3 with Bald John Green, Other John Green, and then Stephen Gerrard.
@beangirl1389 Two points. First, I doubt the Swoodilypoopers would be able to afford Gerrard after one season in Europe. We'd need at least 3 seasons in Europe with a Semi-Final or Final finish in order to secure a budget big enough. Second, Gerrard mostly plays midfield, or attacking midfield so he would team with Williamson and Lallana, rather than the Greens.
I am in PAIN. I ordered An Abundence of Katherines and The Fault in Our Stars on amazon and they still haven't arrived yet. I want so badly to be able to call myself a legit fan. I smell my armpits in shame as I say I have not yet read any of your books. But I promise, as soon as they arrive I will read them with all due speed!

A honey badger would be a very valuable teammate.

I've got to agree with a lot of people here that 4-4-2 is probably a better choice, and that P. Smith's name should be Pudge.

go back to 4-4-2. Suits your playstyle better.

On the official facebook fanpage was a suggestion for Pudge, which is kinda of cool since it's keeping with the theme and it's a Looking for Alaska reference.

John why don't you try 4-3-1-2? With the usual back four and middle three, V. Pericard at CAM (centre attacking midfield) and Bald and Other John Green up front, but not isolated from each other, which I hate to see in this formation as no one should be forced to play apart from the one they love.

Let's be honest: the jerseys say FourFourTwo. You were meant to play four four two.

Psmith!! The 'p' is silent, as in 'pshrimp'.
It's from some books by P.G Wodehouse, who you might know as the author of the Jeeves and Wooster books.

John You're right, the 4-3-3 isn't working out, that's why I suggest to you again to use the 4-1-2-1-2 formation which suits your up the middle style of play much better. Also you have your forwards sprinting constantly, you gotta give them some breaks
Fat Lucas, forever my keeper!

From what I can see, there are three main comments: 1) John, you're entire team is too exhausted and your screwed if you don't rest them before final, 2) The 4-3-3 line up just doesn't work for lots of reason, including it's reliance on the midfielders you don't know the names of and it giving OJG too much to do, and 3) P. Smith, whose name should be Peewee Smith, Fat Lucas's illegitimate/long lost love child that found him and rose through the ranks to join the swoodilypoopers.

If the swoodilypoopers make it to the premiere league could we get Gerrard? Imagine a 4-3-3 with Bald John Green, Other John Green, and then Stephen Gerrard.
beangirl1389 3 months ago
@beangirl1389 Two points. First, I doubt the Swoodilypoopers would be able to afford Gerrard after one season in Europe. We'd need at least 3 seasons in Europe with a Semi-Final or Final finish in order to secure a budget big enough. Second, Gerrard mostly plays midfield, or attacking midfield so he would team with Williamson and Lallana, rather than the Greens.
