On that map they are.

Apparently Colchester moved up to where we are and Norwich moved to the Norfolk coast at the same time.

[–] amoskt1504@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

How did Colchester get on here & Luton didnt?

[–] raysofdavies@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

The more they do the worse the whole endeavour looks.

[–] ThePrussianGrippe@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

It’s filled with too many mistakes to have not been done intentionally.

[–] Howtothinkofaname@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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.

Grimsby north of the river. Gross

[–] No-Industry-2980@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Norwich are my dark horse 🐎

[–] jdv23@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

London is Red

[–] griffird@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

What a random assortment of clubs

[–] JennItalia269@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Some r/shittymapporn material right here.

[–] AJC0292@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Liverpool apparently that big Everton ran off to Anglesey

[–] bslawjen@alien.top 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.

[–] johnniehuman@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Started with Colchester United and Norwich and then just dropped the rest and went for a beer.

[–] AMK_21@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I find this map confusing. I didn't know Everton was from my ancestors' region of Wales. I always thought they were English

[–] CockKnobz@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

This has got to be satire, I mean surely

[–] Ok_Might6447@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

why do they have Brentford in the north of England?

[–] Err0@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Brighton isnt pushed off the map due to lack of space on the map.... its just purposely missed out

[–] CrossXFir3@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Well fuck them too

[–] bananalandinc@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] StraightExtension@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I like the way Hull isn’t by the river hull off the Humber estuary lol

[–] bananalandinc@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] ronaldo119@alien.top 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

[–] Blabber_On@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

We're massive

[–] andrellv@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Looks legit.

[–] Chewy009x@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Ooof this season has been mediocre. Which is sad because they got promoted was expecting to have more of an tense season

[–] OnceIWasYou@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Ah, Newcastle that famous club of the North ~~East~~ West.

*Just seen Forest almost in East Anglia, Everton practically on Anglesey and Blackburn almost on the Scottish border! I was thinking we could do a joke reply version of NFL ~~Clubs~~ Franchises but some will just think it's serious.

[–] ExMoogle@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

man im a german that follows the Prem for Newcastle and even i know that its not even close lol.

[–] Gazumper_@alien.top 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

[–] Howtothinkofaname@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

QPR over in west west west west London.

[–] ajemik@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

We might as well don't exist nowadays, let's be honest

[–] Rebotco5th@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Coventry, the biggest team in the Midlands, I see no issues here.

[–] wooahayeah@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Chad Pompey avenges virgin Brighton

[–] bbro03@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

As a Devonian I am hurt and offended

[–] FelixR1991@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Krismas_Bonus@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

United isn’t even on the map 💀

[–] refusestonamethyself@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Ik Everton are bad, but Welsh League bad???

[–] frogsanje@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I'm just surprised we're on here tbh

[–] the_bag_and_the_duck@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Everton are Welsh, Colchester are east, Whoever made this Hates weat-a-bix

[–] imarandomdudd@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Gets better the more you look at it. Just when you think you found the funniest placement, you look around and see another club that's incredibly out of place

[–] ecidarrac@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

The more I look the worse it gets

[–] NotaSirWeatherstone@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I’d love to visit the underwater stadium in Norwich!

[–] Gladiuswingzero@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Coventry are massive looks right to me

[–] Red_Dog1880@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

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