RouteNone

The Last Route None of the year will be going Live on Friday ... or maybe Saturday depending on how hungover I am from Christmas day ... maybe don't bank on it being Boxing Day now I think about it ... Wishing you all a wonderful festive period!

Route None #30 coming at ya on Thursday morning GMT! We'll be heading off to Cuba, and then North Korea and Vietnam for a little bit, before back to Cuba, and then Germany ... it's a complicated story.

Longest Route None ever! ... Until the next one ... Watch me talk nonsense about Michael Owen's WLS and other equally odd footballer-endorsed video games for 20 minutes below: youtu.be/VbwXOhjOGDo

Nevermind.

I hope Forest stick with Ange, mainly because I reckon he has a great chance of dethroning Stuart Gray as the Premier League's "Least Bouncy Manager"

In 1978, Benfica went a whole league season unbeaten, and still finished 2nd. Porto won their first title in nearly 2 decades, and started their ascendency to the top club in Portugal. I found the story mildly interesting and though you might as well youtu.be/Wl5VC88DWT0

The Cover Art for 'Baseball!' on the Odyssey 2 has no right going this hard

@BenceSudar Appreciate the plug!

amazing video from @RouteNoneStudio as usual: this time telling the story of the first club outside of Budapest to become champions of Hungary. 👀 youtu.be/gMa4MvRudOA?si…

In the 1940s a football club managed to win the national leagues of both Romania and Hungary. Watch me attempt to correctly pronounce their name for 13 minutes below: youtu.be/gMa4MvRudOA

Thoughts with the camera operator specifically employed to get mid-game close-ups of Daniel Levy

In 1950 Scotland qualified for the World Cup in Brazil, but didn't show up. Here's Why. youtu.be/OS8IW95jvFs

Post-War sport science on full display. From the Sheffield Telegraph, May 1950.

In December 1930, Thames AFC hosted a Football League match in a 120,000-capacity stadium. Only 469 spectators showed up. Here’s how a club with no fans, created football’s biggest echo chamber. youtu.be/WSFJfe3VTU8

@SportWatcherPRO Appreciate the plug!

Great video from @RouteNoneStudio about teams being "on the beach" playing games that ultimately don't matter. youtube.com/watch?v=5qr2Kp…

Do teams with nothing left to play for end up 'On The Beach'? This is a statistically sound attempt to expose the Premier League clubs that slack off in May. youtu.be/5qr2Kp0TmpQ?si…

@DannySherms Appreciate the plug!

Missing some of the post-2018 developments, but still a good video of the non-fifa history up to the 2018 WFC final by @RouteNoneStudio with shoutouts to the Island Games which get forgotten surprisingly often youtu.be/YVhQkh8cURw?si…

Ever find yourself wondering "How did a team representing the Basque Country almost win Mexico's football league in 1939?" Well wonder no more. youtu.be/LvecnaV02Ig?si…

@VillanoXIV Appreciate the plug!

Possibly the best channel my algorithm has spat out in years. Absolutely essential stuff for all football nerds.

In 1980, Uruguay hosted a (Little) World Cup. No one really talks about it, so I made a video. youtu.be/-oAxd08C1oY
