Sub means under, right? So subpar also means under par. Yes Anon, it doesn't make sense. https://dictionary.cambridge.org › dictionary › english › below-under-par https://www.languagehumanities.org › what-does-below-par-mean.htm

I don't think I've ever used 'below par' to describe something negative. I've always used 'subpar' for that.

I'm feeling under the weather. Yes. I'm feeling under par. Hmm. This cheesecake was below par. Do we say under par for feelings?

I love that when he isn't well he has to explain his joke. All aspects underperforming. Why do people talk about feeling under par when in golf that is a good thing? Fun to read with Dick and Emma. Tekkers to five for the under fives. He has to rebuild from very basic ideas. "Hell is other people" - from the 1944 play No Exit by Jean-Paul Satre. And yet they delayed their return flight twice. It's the waiting. That's the hell of it.

Very fun chapter, and what a great way to incorporate his recovery arc into something beneficial! This is years down the line but once he’s at a top club I’d love to see him have a warm weather training camp for preseason in Tenerife.

Also good to see Welsh Colin has come into coaching after his time with Coach Lasso

Damn you Ted. What a lovely chapter

Why is Tranmere Rovers now my second favorite soccer team? This chapter really captured the slow process of recovery and showed how much of a gem Emma is.

Geoff Urland

Quite!

Ooooohhhh snap. You knew he’d find a player.

I know this is written with a worldwide audience in mind *cough*Americans*cough*, but really, what Manc would ever bother to explain who Alex Ferguson is? Also, yay, Playdar. Please make it a kid named Pedro.

Daaamn. This chapter felt so pleasant to read.

I think the ending qualifies as a cliffhanger, which means we all get to call you a prick! Great chapter mate, the break clearly got the creative juices flowing. I'm not sure how you did it but the first part, where Max is still in the early stages of recovery, almost felt dreamlike. I really got the sense that his mind wasn't working normally, that he was still fuzzy etc. Looking forward to Friday.
