Holy fuck, what a roller-coaster. I wonder if Nick was leaning on something to make the team play shit?

2025-09-04 20:36:18 +0000 UTCAmazing chapter! Early on in the chapter I felt out of wack because of how max was reacting but makes amazing ending wrapped it up so well. Can’t wait for next chapter. Unrelated. I hope Rushy is playing in front of helge in the prem for Chester

2025-07-22 10:13:27 +0000 UTCHe was upset this whole chapter. Everyone wants a photo with the cup and their family and he wont ever get that with his mum. He just didn't know it consciously till that moment.

2025-07-22 03:58:41 +0000 UTCI really didn't like this chapter at all until the very end. Can't pinpoint exactly why. I hope Max has learned to never name himself captain, though.

She didn’t understand when I told her I was pregnant, even though she would have been over the moon before. You captured the feeling perfectly. If someone in your life is going or has gone through it, Im sorry. Thanks for the chapter. I wasn’t expecting to cry at the end.

2025-07-21 22:50:53 +0000 UTCIt was purposeful but not a typo. It's a common construction in the UK but I've changed it because a couple of people got lost in that sentence and it's not a place I want people to be confused!

2025-07-21 22:49:27 +0000 UTC"There's still all stuff all over the pitch!" Are 2 alls a typo or a purposeful typo since Dani is typing?

2025-07-21 21:18:27 +0000 UTCwhat a gut punch final line, Ted. Amazing chapter

2025-07-21 20:57:52 +0000 UTCYeah! https://media1.tenor.com/m/iDF_kRMxe2oAAAAC/ronaldinho-skills.gif Focusing on Max getting a decent match stops them standing in their own way. It is no longer about them (imposter syndrome or whatever). Max's (and Ted's) self-deprecating humour before the match contrast with the EGO on the pitch. Is Max's strong confidence his weakness? He sees no need for a cape, but his teammates need one. (locked out of Discord)
