16. What makes your favorite coach better than other coaches?

Fergie was THE BEST! COACH! THAT EVER DID LIVE! even though tumblr thinks he’s nsfw

hIS MAN MANAGEMENT! Who else could keep four world class strikers happy at the same time. Numerous people have talked about this in various interviews but he was just. so good at making you feel needed even if he wasn’t going to play you, and always offered you a reason why you weren’t playing... that’s why he got RESPEKT! And I adore it because he passed it on to his lads - I keep wanting to do this juxtaposition set where a Molde player talked about how Ole would do this as well - it’s just. him good. him the best at management. 

The siege mentality that he cultivated: strongly believe that this was the reason United was so good and so hated at the same time, because that team was brainwashed???? to think that they were ‘not arrogant, just better’ - that everyone was against them and that’s why they had to be strong. And that’s why they were going to win.

Tangentially, see: putting his arm around becks the moment becks fuked up in ‘98. ‘He’s a United player and he’ll talk about United things’. GOD! he attac he also protecc. COMPARE AND CONTRAST TO uh mou’s ‘luke has a weak mentality’ or whatever bullshit he said. No! that’s not how you manage players! Fergie made sure United was an island and the lads knew it, knew how much playing for the badge meant!!!!!

His stupid team talks about Aberdeen shipyards and geese who does that

#winning - I mean, fergie time was a thing, but there was a reason WHY it was a thing - because his mentality was rock fukin solid! no one could ever get to him. see: kevin ‘love it if we beat them’ keegan. see: rafa ‘facts’ benitez. the man was a mountain and that rubbed off on fortress old trafford. has any team besides united won the title three times in a roW? I THINK NOT! 

He was such a grandpa.... he still does that cheeky smile thing when he remembers something one of the players did..... yknow!! hes so good 

Consider : most of the players under him became United fans even if they didn’t start that way. That’s Special. IT REALLY IS. 

He played understanding the dna of the club. He would talk to Sir Matt, he always promoted the youth al  W   a y s, he didn’t come in and just be like ‘oh I’m the Special One and I’ll Do things My Way’. CAN U TELL I’M BITTER! but no. I think he always understood narrative and, y’know, what football meant and what United meant. I don’t think there’ll ever be anyone like him ever again.

I love him so much I might die 

OKAY DEEP BREATH

25. Favorite Midfielder

Hrahhhh u know this...Paul Scholes...... swear to god, the first time I ever saw him play live it was...fuckin magical. Like. Television doesn’t capture how good he is, you gotta be there looking at the whole pitch because I swear he has eyes on the back of his head - he can see every single pass and he’ll hit every single pass to pinpoint perfection. I can’t even explain it! It was just. Art! It really was art!!!!!! The most beautiful thing I ever watched! And that was when he was, what, 40??? I want a cloning machine so he can play for us again. The feeling when he runs into the box knowing that the ball’s coming out and knowing that he’s going to score a goal is just mA G I C. 

55. Three players from past generations you wish you had seen

what is my generation..... uHHH. I’ve seen most of the 90s players even if they were charity matches and I would die to see them in their prime, but for the sake of argument I’ll leave them out -

George Best, because everyone says he was beautiful. Bobby Charlton, because of The Special. And of course Duncan Edwards.

73. Your proudest moment as a fan

YOU MEAN STUFF THAT DIDN’T HAPPEN WHEN I WAS FOUR?

England semi-finals and you know it! You! Know! It! I’ve never been so happy and I’ve never been so sad. And I’ve never been so proud of the lads. Sure the route there was easier! Sure ‘it was only Panama’! but people have No Idea how fragmented national football in England is and to see literally everyone getting behind the team regardless of club was. Just the best.

89. A player who just makes you smile with all the things he does off the pitch

oh god... gonna say Juan because 1. common goal!! 2. he visits MUSEUMS!!! 3. He loves wandering around Manchester tldr i love him

alright let’s get a little more in-depth here and sort out who to root for. working backwards this time.

Raven: likes frankie grande. PASS. like the idea that she’s not afraid to make big moves, but lbh that doesn’t mean squat unless and until she actually goes through with it. the all female ghost hunting team thing is cool though it better come up in the show i demand to know about this.

Ramses: superfan, loves dan (which...okay i never actually saw dan’s season i really only know him from the coaches twist and even then i didn’t really pay attention to him? but anyway i know from the fandom that this is a good sign), he wants to do that SUPER SMART DANIELLE THING of having a person on the other side of the house and keeping track of it that way. that being said, his strategy is a little...TOO thought-out. with a game like big brother you have to be ready to make adjustments and think on your feet, and i’m not sure he’ll be able to do that if necessary. HEY HE IS the obligatory gay man...and a gay man of color at that. which....okay let’s be honest, big brother does not have the best track record when it comes to games of gmoc (Marcellas, Lawon, JOZEA, among others). buuuuuuuut....i’m willing to stick my neck out once more. KEEP.

Megan: eugh she likes frank victor and paul which like...okay tbf i kinda understand from a game perspective because they did pull some interesting moves (and ngl paul’s gameplay was always a bit like how i imagine i would play). but i think she likes them as ppl too which...no. also she says she doesn’t wanna be like vanessa???? THE SIRENS GOING OFF AT THAT STATEMENT. she ain’t gonna last. PASS. oh my god and then later in her bio “ At the same time, there is always that whiny, crying girl that just can't handle the pressures of the house. I would make her my friend and my secret ally. This is the only person in the house I will be loyal to. I'll take her to Final 2 and, since she didn't do anything the whole time, I'll win.” like girl....that’s gonna be you lmao. also she wants to buddy up with a gym-partner guy? can we say obvious showmancer? look if she can back it up with some comp wins then maybe she could pull a rachel but i just don’t see that happening. she literally says she’s gonna play scared which like...yea you’re never for sure safe in the bb house but she is literally gonna go down the vanessa path.

Matthew: HE LIKES DONNY. HE IS IN MY GOOD GRACES. he wants to align with the women too??? tentative KEEP because the fact that he says donny is a good person makes me want to trust that he, too, is a good person. but i’ve been burned before, and besides, as great as it would be to see a mainly female alliance with one guy, so far the girls aren’t impressing me much, so i don’t have high hopes for that.

Mark: you know it makes sense he likes brendon. so yea, definite showmance material. possibly with megan too actually. honestly not impressed. PASS.

Kevin: he doesn’t even have a favorite player he just “met derrick once” lol man u are DEFINITELY not gonna win. unless he can adapt quickly which...is unlikely. “I was Mr. Massachusetts and also won a hunk contest” okay buddy. also he’s all like “being myself will probably work everytime” dude if u don’t win that first hoh u are easy target number one. PASS. probably nice but will not win. no chance in hell. unless something MAJOR happens.

Josh: like evel dick so....look, i’ll be honest, i was very young when season 8 was on so like...idr all the stuff that dick pulled, i mostly know from posts in the fandom. but at the time, i was a huge fan of him, and was thrilled he won. and i mean, he did at least have some gameplay, unlike other despicable ppl in later seasons (*cough* andy). so i mean from a gameplay standpoint, i can see why someone would want to emulate dick’s game. however, i think it would require stealthier manipulation than josh thinks. and the fact that he didn’t need to be on anybody’s good side? nice thought and all, but if he didn’t have danielle and her alliances, he would have never made it as far as he did. you HAVE to have someone in your corner, even just one person. josh underestimates the power of alliance and is probably gonna end up being like a paulie. eugh. PASS. sidenote: dude wants to bring his mom in the house not because he would miss her but so she would cook and clean for him???? LOL FUCK THIS GUY i hate him already. his fun facts aren’t even fun facts they’re just personality traits lmao

Jillian: worried about saying the wrong thing? could be a bad sign or just innocent. i am intrigued by her answers though, so a tentative KEEP.

Jessica: janelle/natalie hybrid? could be interesting and if she says she sees herself in janelle that’s VERY promising. less promising is that she wants to align with a guy. could very easily get sidetracked by showmance. hopeful though, so tentative KEEP.

Jason: oh god almost forgot anbout hfajlfhghfskh RODEO CLWON JfHASFJFlshAL. ahem. he likes James which...tbh i liked him too. look if he’s good enough for natalie then he’s decent enough for me. anyway, i fricking love jason’s answer about his strategy: “yes” that’s it that’s all he says I LOVE IT. also he has a bull??? WE BETTER SEE IT IN THE SHOW. i don’t expect him to win but he seems an interesting person so....KEEP. for now.

Elena: likes james and thinks the strategy is situational aKA THE TRUTH. seems like she might actually be able to play the game???? which seems unheard of nowadays. can’t get a real idea of her character but for gameplay i’ll go with a KEEP for now.

Dominique: “nor do i shy away from controversy” is again something that could go either way and instantly makes me cautious. but let’s look at gameplay. she says she’ll take mental notes of everyone and be observant, and she can read ppl really well, so i want to think she’ll do well. but her indecision over a fave past houseguest is something that makes me take pause as well. screw it, KEEP for now. i’m curious to see what she can do.

Cody: seems smart and obviously physically capable....BUT something in his answers rubs me the wrong way. his reasoning for picking evel dick is something i can agree with, but his strategy is, once again, too airtight. where is the wiggle room? look it’s true the basic building blocks of big brother are generally the same every season but you never know what could get changed. also he’s all like “i’ve never taken a selfie” you’ve never taken a picture of yourself? ever? that seems unlikely but it’s whatever aside from assumed pretentiousness. HOWEVER the real big flag is “i have never been offended not once” buddy that is a DAMNED lie and i caNNOT WAIT until he gets pissy about something in the house and the fandom calls him out on it lmao oh anyway PASS.

Christmas: oh  my god she chose HELEN. HELEN OF ALL PEOPLE. THIS IS A GOOD SIGN. idk man i’m very hopeful about this one the fave houseguest is a good sign and i want to like christmas for it....also because her picture is gorgeous but like. she chose HELEN. like im sorry but i feel like most ppl wouldn’t even think of helen. maybe christmas can align with that guy who likes donny??? YES I LIKE THIS. anyway KEEP.

Cameron: well of COURSE his fave is ian like how damn predictable can u be. also he just reminded me of ginamarie and the fact that she won an hoh at some point (how???). that being said, the fact that he’d just tell people that someone is going after them?? bad plan. unless there’s ANY truth to it, but if he pulls it out of his ass he’s going to end up imploding his own game. PASS, not just for meh gameplay but also because he bores me. (seriously i’m so tired of ian clones none of them have been anywhere near as good or interesting why are we still doing this)

Alex: “i can manipulate anyone, including boys” aka she will probably start a showmance. idk with who and tbh idc. her fun facts are actual, legitimate fun facts, and she seems nice, but i don’t get good gameplay vibes. PASS, but i hope she surprises me.
