I haven't read any of your books yet (Dying of starvation waiting for them to arrive in the mail) but it's little stuff like this that makes me certian you are a brilliant author. To have come up with these completely fictional concerns out of no where, at precicely the right time with the right little details to make them seem so -real-. I am so looking forward to reading your books.
John, I am being fully and entirely honest, you need to write a soccer centric novel. Something following a similarly disadvantaged team and which would, ideally, center around the relationship between two gay forwards, an overweight goalie, and their unskilled yet endlessly inspirational manager. All kidding aside, you should write this book.
ok so i stop watching around episode 4 and now im not sure if this is his fantasy team or if this is just made up stuff or if this is in the actual game but i do like that john green sounds like a real manger of a real team and talking about the game and focusing instead of like in the beginning where it was just random stuff.i like this.
I would much rather watch the John Greens and Fat Lucas and Fitz Hall and the other players we love try and fail in the Premier League than watch any other players win it.
6:28 "I have my first book in 3 1/2 years coming out in about 35 days, and we're also launching this big new channel... and, um, I think about whether I'm going to win the FA Cup against Chelsea probably more often than I think about either of those things. Like, I dream about it; it keeps me up at night... I dream about what I'm gonna say if other John Green or bald John Green scores..." So you feel an intense emotional connection...to a fictional homoerotic relationship between you and... you?
Hmm, I am very committed to the success of this club as a fan but I think John's video begs the question what makes the swoodilypoopers swoodilypoopers? Is it the original people? Is it loyalty and commitment? Whatever the answer I think it is a vital key when it comes time to choose the premier league line-up.
Tip: You need to make sure that your center midfielders have high speed and endurance stats to feed the ball to the Greens or take the ball themselves in the cup final and p-leage.
So let me get this straight, John disapproves of (American) football where he thinks there is no incentive for players to do well but in soccer the players that fought to win their league and move up in rank will be rewarded with being replaced as a matter of fact?
Hi, I know you have heard this probably 200 times but I am 13 years old & I have been singing since age 5. I have waited 3 years to make a youtube account & I just did & I am sorry to "spam" or waste time, but I would LOVE with all my heart if you could check out my first youtube video and tell me any tips in the comment box, or tell me your opinion. Here is the link to my first video: watch?v=_UtUbc64SgM&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL
a frank but necessary discussion, I agree that players will need to be changed upon moving into the premier league. However, I hope the old classic players will be kept on in some capacity.. It would be sad not to see leroy williamson scoring occasionally.
john, pick up wayne routledge, he's quite young, cheap, and a highly versatile right mid / wing / striker. playing him on the right wing will allow you to carry on playing some of the slower players up front (or at least relatively slower players, like bald john green) as wayne can do most of the legwork!
The mitigating factor of this comment is "Yes, I know it's a video game but..."
"We are statistically worse then any other game we play." Yet you still battled to the Permier League anyway. Thus statistic are not the the key factor to winning. After the imagining people complexly things, you made them into number. You have anthropomorphized them to a point where there people-like.
You brought up loyalty vs success and the individual vs the team. This should be your next book.
This isn't elementary school, this is real life. You have to cut the bad players and up your talent. It's a miracle to get to the Premier League and now your position as a manager is to win. You have to put in your best talent to win.
John, if you want to play better against Chelsea in the FA Cup Final, you must, MUST have rested players. Rest them ere the Final, John, rest them ere the final.
The Swoodilypoopers could have struggled because they were tired... or, you know, it could be because you are now playing at the professional skill level. Just saying.
I definitely hope you get better players. I've noticed that FIFA feels a lot more fun and faster with higher talent. As long as you stay the manager and keep telling stories during the games, I will stand by the Swoodilypooper's changes :)
John, For the last match of the NPower Championship, the players that won't be able to keep up in the premier league (Bodin Bodin, P Smith, etc) should play, as a kind of farewell match. Rests your big hitters for the final, and is a great thank you to those who have helped you get where you are today
Personally, I'll take a middle of the pack League 1 Swindon, that plays for heart, way before a multi-million pound team, where players are used like trading cards. These men are nearly dying out on the field for you, for us. Remember where you came from Manager Green, and who got you there.
What happens in the Premier League then? Do big fat cat sponsors start being the heart of the team? Young upstart players use Swindon to make names for themselves and two years later leave us for Liverpool? Do we sell off our heart and everything that made us great so we can get a Wembly sized stadium in Swindon Town? cont...
John, I feel I need to bring up a few questions or points in regards to your statements about the future of the team. You've mentioned through two seasons that Swindon was a team built on heart. Men that love and believe in each other. It was a team forged by their experiences together. cont...
I don't think there should be HUGE changes. The John Greens are fine as your main strikers. You need to upgrade your midfield. Leeroy Williamson is awful. Perry Parry can stay. You defend really well with Fitz Hall (somehow). He can stay. You play better with Stone Cold Cteve "with a C" Austin than you do Voluptuous Pericard. Grab a decent 3rd/4th striker (preferably someone FAST- your offensive game is based entirely on speed). Grab a "star" midfielder. Solid goalie and another defenseman.
You talk about quality when other john green just scored his 47th goal in the championship - the most goals ever in the history of the championship! You have enough quality in your team already!
Taking in new members after we've grown so accustomed to these current guys would be a tragedy. Isn't the whole point of this series to use this bad team and see how good you can be while telling us stories and what is Swindon Town without both Greens playing in every game they aren't injured/tired for? It'd be an entirely different team. It wouldn't be fair to the fans who've grown so close to the players to give up on these players now. Plus how awesome would it be if you won with these guys?
7 hours ago bugaloushrimp19999 Talk about what you think about the poor economic situation of European football clubs(i.e. huge debt and probable collapse) ... Also, REST THE A TEAM FOR GOODNESS SAKE!! The boys need to rest before the FA final.
Oh, man, I was so anxious that something was going to happen in the last minute that I literally held my breath before I remembered that 1. This is not live, so the outcome had already been decided, and 2. This is a video game.
JOHN WHY IS STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN NOT PLAYING IN THE FINAL HE IS THE THIRD BEST SCORER, HE MUST PLAY OR SWOODLY POOPERS ACROSS THE NATION WILL BE IN OUTRAGE
This video was very upsetting. Swindon is a team built on loyalty and I think it needs to stay that way. I'd almost rather see the team stay in the N Power Championship than go to the Premier League if it means that the lineup is going to undergo drastic changes. I love these guys too much to see them suited up for another team. As for the FA Final, it won't be a close game. Either the boys are going to crush Chelsea because it's their last game in red, or they'll get beat for the same reason.
John, for the love of god, use some B characters in the game before the FA cup finals. Everyone is tired, everyone needs a break, and unless you give them that break, Chelsea is going to dance all over the Swoodilypoopers. Please, use the B squad for at LEAST the game before the finals! I want to see the miracle of Swindon Town come to fruition!
Guys, John's got to make the decisions that are best for the Swoodilypoopers. If that means finding a new starting keeper, or benching a Green, or trading Voluptuous Pericard, that's what has to be done for the betterment of the club. John has to make unbiased decisions and use the statistics he has wisely.
We definitely have to rest up the starting lineup for the FA cup final John, especially if we'e going no matter what. We still need to try our best, but it'd be preferable if as little of
The starting lineup as possible especially the John Greens, were not in the next game.
i started watching this, and I expected a man named Frank to talk about the swoodlypoopers but Frank was neither seen, nor talked of. I was going to be disappointed but then I took an arrow to the knee
John, while of course I have only one answer I expect you to have for this question, I'm going to ask it of you anyways: What is a team? Is a team its name? Its Jerseys? Is the team its captain, his husband, and a goalkeeper? It is true that not every player currently on the team can truly handle the challenge of the premier league, but Is the miracle of Swindon town truly a miracle if the statistics are in its favor? Remember, John, with what intent "The Prince" was written. Also, rest is good.
i just want to say if this was not a vido game that you whould be movieing up becus of the team and the coch wohould not change a player i know that there are a lot of spelling erors but plez look past that and make the dicon of a good coch that i know you are john
usually these videos leave me feeling happy and enlightened and laughing, but not today. Today, I felt as though the Swoodilypoopers are coming apart at the seams and that NOTHING will ever be the same and WAAAH EVERYTHING IS SAD
I understand that players will have to come and go. Swindon Town will always be Swindon Town. The names and faces may change, but we will always be Swoodilypoopers.
On a side note, REST THE BOYS!!!!! They deserve it, and we don't stand a chance if you dont!!!!!!
John, you need to play 4-5-1 in the FA Cup final and try and score on the counter attack, or you're going to lose. Even a 4-2-3-1. You won't beat Chelsea with a 4-4-2.
But it really isn't the same team if you change players :( I mean its already a bunch of people who aren't from the area there playing from so if you cut them all lose it's like buying name brand products over generic that's made exactly the same and in the same factory.
Nononono. No! John, no. So help me if Swindontown -- Our Beloved Swindontown -- lose our players, it loses itself. The heart and soul of Swindontown is in its players. Voluptous Pericard. Cteve Austin. The Johns. Who did you narrate episodes about? Who did your fans make cheers for? Who do we love?! Hey hey! Ho ho! Our Swindontown is not to go! Hey hey! Ho ho! Please tell us, John, they will not go!
Seriously, I think you should rest your players WHILE also letting new players feel like a part of the Poopers. Worst case scenario, if they play like crap in the new lineup, you can sub them out for the Greens!
Placke Smith the Black Smith, Swindon Towns only Black Smith takes a break from his day job to be the goalie. He knows Swindon Town needs him as their only blacksmith, but the need him more as their keeper.
I'm fairly sure the John Greens are late 70s skill level, and I'm afraid it'll be difficult to attract better players to Swindon. especially on your budget.
Rest your players. Playing is becoming more intense -- little Swindon Town against Chelsea? THE Chelsea? That would have been unthinkable two seasons ago! But it's within our grasp. Don't fret about trading now -- they have too much on their minds, and so do you. Do what you need to do to give Swindon a good game, but most importantly, give everyone a good time. Sing, joke, tell life stories, make up stories -- for we are Swindon, inexorable not only in our march, but also in our hearts.
John, please rest your players it will help as others have said. Pericard is amazing we are known as the underdogs. Pericard is absolutely important to our. He's just as important as bald and other John Green! the Green's and Pericard neeed to stay! please John, please!!!!!!!!
The commentary for this game made me so sad that I didn't get excited at all when Other John Green scored, not even a little bit. As a Hufflepuff, it was difficult to hear.
I don't mind the exchanging of the current Swoodilypoopers with future Swoodilypoopers. But I would like to see some sort of archive, a record book in memorandum of Swoodilypoopers who have left the team. I will miss Fat Lucas and Cteve Austin though, some of the best nicknames in Hankgames history.
John, you see that little blue bar underneath the name of the player? That's your stamina bar, if you have no stamina then you cannot sprint. If you have the same players playing game after game then they will have no stamina. My point is what everyone else has been saying. REST YOUR PLAYERS!
I haven't read any of your books yet (Dying of starvation waiting for them to arrive in the mail) but it's little stuff like this that makes me certian you are a brilliant author. To have come up with these completely fictional concerns out of no where, at precicely the right time with the right little details to make them seem so -real-.

Buy "improving" all our players, we might be successful in the premier league, sure. But what cost is too high for that success???

Once again I shall suggest P. Smith be Poop Smith. I won't give up on this. He retired from the king of towns castle to be a swoodilypooper.

Guys, John's got to make the decisions that are best for the Swoodilypoopers. If that means finding a new starting keeper, or benching a Green, or trading Voluptuous Pericard, that's what has to be done for the betterment of the club. John has to make unbiased decisions and use the statistics he has wisely.

You should try and buy Jääskeläinen. He performs miracles in the goal.

We definitely have to rest up the starting lineup for the FA cup final John, especially if we'e going no matter what. We still need to try our best, but it'd be preferable if as little of
The starting lineup as possible especially the John Greens, were not in the next game.

John, while of course I have only one answer I expect you to have for this question, I'm going to ask it of you anyways: What is a team? Is a team its name? Its Jerseys? Is the team its captain, his husband, and a goalkeeper? It is true that not every player currently on the team can truly handle the challenge of the premier league, but Is the miracle of Swindon town truly a miracle if the statistics are in its favor? Remember, John, with what intent "The Prince" was written. Also, rest is good.

I understand that players will have to come and go. Swindon Town will always be Swindon Town. The names and faces may change, but we will always be Swoodilypoopers.
On a side note, REST THE BOYS!!!!! They deserve it, and we don't stand a chance if you dont!!!!!!

John, you need to play 4-5-1 in the FA Cup final and try and score on the counter attack, or you're going to lose. Even a 4-2-3-1. You won't beat Chelsea with a 4-4-2.

But it really isn't the same team if you change players :( I mean its already a bunch of people who aren't from the area there playing from so if you cut them all lose it's like buying name brand products over generic that's made exactly the same and in the same factory.

Nononono. No! John, no. So help me if Swindontown -- Our Beloved Swindontown -- lose our players, it loses itself. The heart and soul of Swindontown is in its players. Voluptous Pericard. Cteve Austin. The Johns. Who did you narrate episodes about? Who did your fans make cheers for? Who do we love?! Hey hey! Ho ho! Our Swindontown is not to go! Hey hey! Ho ho! Please tell us, John, they will not go!

Seriously, I think you should rest your players WHILE also letting new players feel like a part of the Poopers. Worst case scenario, if they play like crap in the new lineup, you can sub them out for the Greens!

Placke Smith the Black Smith, Swindon Towns only Black Smith takes a break from his day job to be the goalie. He knows Swindon Town needs him as their only blacksmith, but the need him more as their keeper.

I'm fairly sure the John Greens are late 70s skill level, and I'm afraid it'll be difficult to attract better players to Swindon. especially on your budget.

Rest your players. Playing is becoming more intense -- little Swindon Town against Chelsea? THE Chelsea? That would have been unthinkable two seasons ago! But it's within our grasp. Don't fret about trading now -- they have too much on their minds, and so do you. Do what you need to do to give Swindon a good game, but most importantly, give everyone a good time. Sing, joke, tell life stories, make up stories -- for we are Swindon, inexorable not only in our march, but also in our hearts.

I don't mind the exchanging of the current Swoodilypoopers with future Swoodilypoopers. But I would like to see some sort of archive, a record book in memorandum of Swoodilypoopers who have left the team. I will miss Fat Lucas and Cteve Austin though, some of the best nicknames in Hankgames history.

John, you see that little blue bar underneath the name of the player? That's your stamina bar, if you have no stamina then you cannot sprint. If you have the same players playing game after game then they will have no stamina. My point is what everyone else has been saying. REST YOUR PLAYERS!
