Yeah, it’s not a serious documentary. It’s more about the town, football culture, and Rob/Ryan than it is about the players or the club. Lots of stupid little jokes and stuff throughout - not sure if they’re inside jokes or trying to drive engagement just like this post amongst English/Welsh viewers.

Either way, there’s always a weird amount of anti-Americanism in these conversations. You people are insane if you expect us to know the locations of small towns/clubs in your country. Not like you guys know any US geography outside of Florida, NYC, and California anyway.

Great Britain vs UK is extremely fuzzy in the US, I wouldn’t expect anyone to know that. Hell, I probably wouldn’t even get that right. I also wouldn’t expect anyone to know the difference between flags, that’s nerd-level stuff not part of pop culture or general world news stories.

But you know some absolute dumbasses if they don’t know the distinction between Ireland and Scotland. Anyone with a high school education and access to the internet in America should know that. I’d bet my life that a majority of Americans could tell the difference.

I might be misreading a badge, but I’m surprised greater west London outfit, Brentford, is trending north of Newcastle?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

the comments in this thread are the exact reason why this map was made.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Because the UK sucks and no one cares where shit actually is

As a Devonian I am hurt and offended

We’re regrouping in Middlesbrough, then we’ll stomp all 5 you back to the dark side

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Manchester is blue

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I like the show but sometimes it's mental how aimed at Americans it is.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I'd like to take this time to apologise to everybody we have forcibly displaced.

Except Shrewsbury. Fuck you lot.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

They didn’t. They were just throwing clubs onto the map to illustrate how many teams there are, not where they are

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Some r/shittymapporn material right here.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Actually Devon/Somerset but I guess for an American you are close enough 😂

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Some people just want to see the world burn by releasing maps like that

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

The Coventry monster has annexed Birmingham, we've fled west as Coventry force every house in Birmingham to become a concrete helll

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Coventry are massive looks right to me

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Yes thats definitely where Blackburn rovers are based

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

My favourite thing about this map is that Man United and Chelsea don't even make the cut.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I've heard that QPR is in West London, but didn't knew it was almost in Wales for far west it is.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I think this was just a clip thing talking about the fa cup and they weren't actually discussing where teams are from. Like it was a little clip as they were talking about how the fa cup works, not this is the teams location and this is what we think.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Yes this is the context of the map. It's to show various teams from different divisions all take part in the FA cup.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Well Newport County is in there as well as being in Wales...so win-win!!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Liverpool apparently that big Everton ran off to Anglesey

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Norwich are my dark horse 🐎

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

lol what was the context of this in the show?

QPR on holiday?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Where’s Brighton?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

nobody cares

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

How can they apologise to you?

Your team CLEARLY doesn’t exist

True, there’s a lot of room a lot of teams they’ve not put on here. But the south coast is probably the least offensive thing about this map. They have the two most successful teams, close to being in nearly the right place.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Can’t wait for the Leeds vs Preston derby this year

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Do you need help learning how to take a screenshot? Kids these days…

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Having watched welcome to Wrexham, I suspect this is an intentional joke for british audiences.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Hell, just try picking out Houston. 4th largest US city by population - more than Manchester and Liverpool combined.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

United isn’t even on the map 💀

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

We're massive

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Everton in Wales

Cardiff in what, Devon?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

For accuracy sake it does say they need to be champions of premier league, so chelsea should be there. Gotta at least get the big clubs with trophies in.

Love the Rochdale Wrexham welsh derby

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Getting mauled by the Teeside Tigers 🐯

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

As a native of Oxford, I didn't realise I was actually from Hereford. Shrewsbury is in Wales but Cardiff isn't, that's a new one too.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Pretty sure they're talking about the FA Cup in this section and how clubs from all over the UK no matter the league they play in participate.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

The more I look the worse it gets
