The worst thing about American team names isn’t things like Real or Inter but rather the random nicknames that are either animals, military or government ranks, or weather.

I disagree, that is their sporting culture. Them appropriating Inter, Real and so on is as wierd as when that guy wanted to call Hull City Hull Tigers

Aye, this is true. Worst of all was when some geniuses over here imported this practice for rugby in the 90s, leaving us with shit like Sale Sharks and Warrington Wolves

Two different codes, of course.
One attempt at a name change in football that people might not be aware of was when Kettering Town tried to change their name to Kettering Tyres. When it was thwarted they threatened to just call themselves Kettering T to keep people guessing. The Doog at his best!

Wasps against tigers. I remember hearing on the news that the tigers were going for the cup but the wasps were out to spoil the party. **** off.
Probably less annoying than they're all like London Wasps based in coventry, london Irish on the moon, london welsh in Bangladesh and shit like that.

I admit I missed Welsh’s relocation to Dhaka, good idea though

Glad Kettering didn't change their name as it would have changed the greatest football chant of all time.....
3:12 for the chant but well worth a watch of the whole episode and series if you're a fan of him:
No thanks. There's something about the way he speaks when he's performing that makes me think he's a ****. He's probably not, but he speaks like one.
Saw him live a few years ago, fortunately he was only on for 10 minutes. He didn't go down well.

I think he’s alright, he was funny on Taskmaster and his Netflix specials are decent but I do find this trend for comedians doing routines about their unfashionable hometowns pretty tiring.
It’s like this bullshit trend for making a show with your dad or a standup routine about how crazy your family is. My generation, ‘Millennials’ if you want to call it that, seem to find the idea of men and women in their 50’s bring confused by stuff really amusing. Comes across as lazy writing because you can tell it’s mostly made up stories about the time their dad was angered by a household appliance or something. It was funny once when Adam & Joe did Bad Dad.

I enjoyed listening to Keane ranting away about Manyoo while Micah Richards sat there laughing at him
