If I saw potential in your dad I guess I can work with you. Eli: Sr. I thi- wait… are you really gonna give me the position?! I haven't even played? Coach: So? Eli: … Eli: Nothing, thanks for the oportunity.

Later that day:

Derek: So… how was practice? did you get in? Eli: Actually, I did. Derek: Awesome, I'm so excited to go cheer you up. Eli: That's great dad, but just remember: You must sit besides the Sheriff and follow the player with the Stilinski lastname. Derek: … Eli: … *Stiles astral proyecting himself since cuantico to the living room*: WhY diD I Just ReceIVed a mAil fROM Coach to CheCk thAT "My SoN" Can PLAy in THE NExt game?

The Greyhounds covering for each other when they’re in trouble: 

Roy: Where's Isaac?

Jamie: Sorry coach, I haven't seen him since the last time I saw him.

Roy: And when was that?

Jamie: The last time I saw him?

Roy: Yes.

Jamie: It was... definitely... the time I saw him last.

Roy:

Ted: Dani, where's Colin?

Dani: Oh, he is off doing something.

Ted: Doing something?

Dani: Correct.

Ted: What about Sam?

Dani: He is trying to stop Colin from doing what he is doing.

Ted: …and Isaac?

Dani: He is attempting to stop Sam from stopping Colin.

Ted: And what are you doing?

Dani: I am to distract you from stopping Colin, Sam, and Isaac.

Ted: *Face palms*

Beard: Bumbercatch, where's Jamie?

Moe: That's classified.

Beard: Classified?

Moe: Affirmative.

Beard: I'm not going to beg you for information about him Bumbercatch…

Moe: I'm impervious to your methods.

Beard: …Would you consider a bribe?

Moe: You couldn't afford my price.

Beard: Extortion.

Moe: You got nothing on me.

Beard: Fine, I'll ask just ask Sam.

Moe: You can't, he's with Jam--@%$#!

Roy: McAdoo, have you seen Richard?

Isaac: Richard? Never heard of him.

Roy: *Deep inhale*

Hc for Edwards coaches? Its weird to me that we know nothing about them

Oh, there’s a short answer to this: Edward doesn’t have a dedicated set of coaches.

(But I'm gonna make this a long answer, because I can’t help myself)

He’s not in Thomas or Duck’s position for much of canon. The ‘Locals’ we see him taking would have coaches drawn from the main line common pool. There are two push-pull trains for the bulk of Brendam line stopping traffic but, obviously, Edward doesn’t handle them.

He probably could have a dedicated long-term set of coaches for the Tidmouth-Brendam fast but, well, here’s the thing. One, those twice daily trains are not exclusively his because he’s very ready to offer them to a visitor who shows any interest (if they’re capable — Edward did learn something from the affair of Thomas and his trucks lol).

But there’s also the matter that, after a while with a steady rake on the Tidmouth-Brendam route, Edward is awfully prone to arranging for some other set of coaches that he notices is under-utilised getting to take over the job in turn.

Given his own experience out of service, he’s very sensitive to that sort of thing. It makes him great at managing coaching stock on the Wellsworth and Suddery section as a whole. They have a bit of an excess coaches, including a good many survivors from the N.W.R.’s earliest days (some of these survived because Edward discreetly hoarded them during the worst days of the Depression... and then helpfully procured them in good working order when WWII hit... and sometimes hid them again, in the early days of nationalisation, until things settled down...), and they’re kept around to deal with special charters and periods of higher traffic. Edward’s very good at keeping an eye on their maintenance and matchmaking temporary/visiting/new engines with coaches that they will work well with (and mediating, on the rare occasion when it’s a mismatch).

As a result of all this, coaches in his sphere have great affection and respect for Edward — but, over the years, he has at times had a “To know what we want, you do need to sometimes Ask Us and then Actually Listen” problem.

Not everyone wants to wake up early every possible day and push themselves a little behind their limits forever and ever and ever. Most vintage coaches do not actually secretly pine for a turn on the Brendam fast, with its sprint down a fifth of a main line and the sharp turn onto the branch combining to make your vacuum start to really tear into you if you have to do it too often. Thanks for thinking of us, but some of us are perfectly content only working three months out of the year. No, we don’t feel this way because we’re depressed, the problem is not that we’ve been neglected and given up, because we haven’t a problem and this isn’t actually about you, dear. (Edward, with his engine brain: '... impossible!...') Sometimes there is a set of coaches that are actually amenable to being retired (!) and Edward has had to learn to, y’know, accept that, rather than try to “fix” things. (He has so many resources these days to fix these things! It’s never been easier to fix these things! It’s ever so much easier to fix things than coming to grips with others having different ideas about (im)mortality than you do…!)

i said this before the season started and i'll say it again, van dijk doesn't really suit as captain because he neither inspires the team with his performance or drags them to a victory like stevie used to, nor does he constantly get on the players to do their job and mark someone and press on and move and find open spaces like milner and hendo used to. i know he has his own style but when we're losing, especially when we're going through a poor run he doesn't really do much.

🎃 trick or treat 🎃

You get a long snippet (act surprised):

Roy flipped to a page at random:

'Ah, la belle dame sans merci who lived in his heart, made known to him in transitory fading splendor by dark eyes in the Ritz-Carlton, by a shadowy glance from a passing carriage in the Bois de Boulogne!'

The book Ted had given Roy had started with, ‘It was a dark and stormy night.’

“Oi!” Jamie started, sitting up to give Roy a concerned frown. “This one isn’t the first in the series.”

Roy shrugged. “Doesn’t matter. They’re all supposed to be self-contained stories. Don’t think I’ve ever met a person who read Wodehouse in order.”

Mollified, Jamie settled back into the cushions with Roy’s book, seemingly unaware of the puzzle Roy was rotating in his head.

Within the first few pages, he had a good idea what Ted intended by giving Jamie this particular book. He also couldn’t help but notice that he’d been given a book fit for his six-year-old niece, and Sam had been given Ender’s Game, and somehow Jamie had been the unlucky bastard with a reading assignment that would make any university student want to stick pencils in their eyes.

Also Anthony Patch was a posh rich twat.

okay i’m trying to contain my thoughts about this book for the primer part 2 but i will die if i don’t share these quotes immediately

“…there’s no question that Mats Sundin had the biggest influence on me when I was young. Mats would have a little smirk on his face whenever he saw me. “Hey, Maxie,” he’d say, using his nickname for me. “How are you, buddy?” Just hearing those words was enough to make my day. Mats was my favourite player—he was like a god to me.”

“Every now and then, my dad would take me for a skate on the main ice, and if I was lucky, Mats would join us. On a few rare occasions, he would even come watch one of my games. Those were the coolest times for me. I could feel the pressure those nights, knowing that Mats was watching me play—I didn’t want to let him down.”

“I had worn the number 13 my whole life because of Mats Sundin. I patterned my whole game after Mats, so I wore 13 in honor of him. But when I went to Don Mills, it hit me that I was playing for the Flyers—Bobby Clarke’s team. Bobby Clarke wore number 16, and the number was available when I started with the team. The more I thought about it, the more I wanted to switch my number so that I could honor Bobby Clarke. But I was worried that I would upset Mats if I changed numbers, so I decided to run it by my dad. “Dad, do you think Mats would be upset if I switched numbers?” I asked. My dad laughed. “I don’t think he would mind at all.” “Are you sure? Can you ask him?” Of course, Mats was fine with it. As soon as I heard that, I decided that I would wear number 16 from then on.”
