I did yet another Google form (I needed to take my mind off things) and you guys delivered!

Just a side note, I add my thoughts in the comments so that everyone can see, reply, have a discussion etc. I feel like it's a better way than just leaving my thoughts on this. It's more interactive I feel.

As always, and I'm sure that I don't need to say this because you're all lovely people, but everyone is entitled to their own opinions. Whether or not you agree with it is a different story. The comments are open for you to all have a discussion and a healthy debate with each other but any forms of abuse won't be tolerated. If I see any comments that are considered to be unkind to another user, I won't hesitate to delete the comment.

Enjoy!

Football crushes? And why?

Douglas Luiz 😍 especially with his short, brown hair. Discuss.

Christian Pulisic, I saw his debut at Dortmund and looked to my aunt who brought me to the game and said “this is the man I’ll marry one day,” I still like him... Discuss.

i have a whole bunch but my main ones are sander berge (i bet you know who's sending this in hehe), gio reyna, pedro neto, francisco trincao, benjamin pavard, hakim ziyech and pedri gonzalez :) Discuss.

Declan Rice! To be fair, there is something about guys with dark hair and blue eyes that just gets me, but there is something special about Deccers. Sure, he is good looking, but he has a wonderful personality to weigh up with as well; he's funny, charming, and he's an absolute sweetheart! Discuss.

Mason Mount: He is just wow
Ben Chilwell: He is even more wow
James Maddison: He is also wow. Discuss.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Douglas Luiz, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Tyrone Mings. they’re too beautiful for their own good. Discuss.

Currently, Theo and Lucas Hernandez. Absolutely in love with these two, no particular reason.
I have so many, so many. Like basically every week I am marrying someone in my head. Discuss.

scott mctominay because HIS HAIR. Discuss.

daniel james because his hair looks soo fluffy, and he is Welsh and I love Welsh accents. Discuss.

Trent Alexander-Arnold, James Maddison, Harvey Barnes (there's an embarrassingly long list), but honestly, it's their football that drew me in first. I don't like footballers who aren't necessarily good players. Football first, personalities after. Discuss.

jack grealish will always be a firm favourite. Discuss.

Guilty pleasures and why? (This was supposed to be football related but I love the turn that this took!)

I shouldn't like Wolves at all but I actually quite like Connor Coady. He seems like a nice, genuine guy. Discuss.

Being in the stadium to watch the team, there is just nothing better than watching your team do well. I love being there for finals and am glad that COVID isn’t bad here so we can still go to games! Discuss.

MOLE CHICKEN AND PASTA. also watching hilda or bridgerton and eating chocolate :) Discuss.

Vampire diaries: it’s just so good. Discuss.

Goals from counter attacks. 30 seconds and boom. Goal. Discuss.

watching the same interview over and over again because A SENSE OF Security. Discuss.

watching MotD just for the red cards or the scraps, because it's the most interesting thing. Discuss.

Quiz shows! I like seeing how much about the world I know, and often, it really annoys everyone else because I'm super competitive. Discuss.

i enjoy watching lower league football, i think its just as entertaining. Discuss.

Unpopular Opinions?

You can’t say you like the team if you hope that they do badly when your favourite player isn’t starting. You can say that you like the player but if you support the team you support ALL of the team. Discuss.

cats > dogs. Discuss.

Harry Kane is not captain material, whatsoever, and the armband should be given to Jordan Henderson for the international matches. Discuss.

I love when smaller clubs play better than the big clubs. I like underdogs more than the predictable winners. Discuss.

it might not be unpopular, but I’ll never understand the Mount vs. Grealish agenda. they’re completely different players and it doesn’t have to be one against the other in the England squad. Discuss.

People sleep on Wolverhampton, kind of... I really enjoy them, but not when my team have to face them. Discuss.

the assister of goals should get the same credit as the goal scorer. Discuss.

Don’t compare two players from different leagues who have either: never played in the same league at the same time, or only meet once in a blue moon (like the odd time you draw them in a competition). Discuss.

offside should be completely banned, it ruins the game. Discuss.

Football history is important, there's a lot of new fans who think football only started around ten years ago smh. Discuss.

theres more of a difference in the budget (e.g scotland compared to england) rather than the quality/skill in players. Discuss.

One game shouldn’t determine which side of the city is more popular, I think it should be based on which side has been more successful at the end of each season. Discuss.

Popular Opinions?

I find it hilarious how Villa players and staff aren't allowed to play fantasy anymore. Discuss.

We should be able to hear the conversation between VAR and the official on the pitch. Discuss.

fanfiction writers get very heavily judged but we're just there to have fun and make friends who have the same interests as us! Discuss.

PEOPLE CAN LIKE FOOTBALLERS FROM RIVALLING TEAMS WITHOUT LIKING THE TEAM THEY PLAY For. Discuss.

God, I can't stress this enough! As a Manchester United supporter, I'm met with this every single time I speak loudly about my respect and liking of Jordan Henderson. I don't like Liverpool, far from it — but I like Jordan. Same thing with Adam Lallana when he was in Liverpool. Discuss.

Chilly is babe. Discuss.

var is sucking the enjoyment out of football. Discuss.

VAR should be reconsidered Massively. Discuss.

Bruno Fernandes is one of the best midfielders in the game at the moment. Discuss.

Football twitter is sooo toxic, I absolutely hate it. Discuss.

var is a shit show. Discuss.

Confessions about the game?

The offside rule as well as the handball rule. Discuss.

i don't really actually watch it much, i prefer to just be a part of the community. Discuss.

After 13 years as a centreback, the offside rule still confuses me. I can explain the rule, as I learned it, down into the finest details, but now as I see, not just Premier League games, but my local games being played too, I'm absolutely lost when it comes to the rule. Seems like judges nowadays are trained differently than the ones who judged when I hung up my boots 4 years ago. Discuss.

I don’t always look at games because of the tactics and to learn something from it. Discuss.

I get so confused about what constitutes a red card and what constitutes a yellow card. sometimes I even think something is a blatant foul and the referee doesn’t even blink twice. Discuss.

I cannot keep track on any of the rules, the changes they make. I feel like if just learned the handball one and they changed it again!!!! Discuss.

the goalkeeper six second rule should be scrapped. players can have the ball for ten seconds without passing it, so why should goalies face this rule when outfield players don't? Discuss.

I've honestly lost a bit of interest in football now, it's so draining and it ruins my entire mood when we don't get the result wanted. VAR and dodgy referees just ruined it. Discuss.

the new handball rule (not so much the rule it self but why it’s only given some of the time). Discuss.

Anything else that I've forgotten?

ily <3 (Ily too! This was so sweet and made me smile 🥺❤️)

That's really cool.
Also I had that little moment, remembering Wattpad from a few years ago. Neymar basically being the one direction of the football fandom. The good old days.

i don't know my memory is SHOCKING

love you're writing, and i hope your uni course is going well and you're enjoying it :)

I'd really like to do this again at some point because it's really fun so if you'd like, you can leave topics for future forms :)
