we were both brilliant mate.

The fuck is going on here?

Славянский дракон they like this sketch; therefore, they are in it.

The perfect comment exists. It's this one.

Brilliant sir Simply brilliant

+koi what do you mean, "based on": this sketch *is* a David Mitchell rant.

koi it's based on a skit they did for their radio series, but yeah

Lol yeah it wasn’t even planned, Mitchell just had a rant mid scene

This one felt particularly heartfelt, like he's been really aiming to get this one off his chest for a while.

Ifkr. I send this to people everytime they whinge that i dont care about the euros or world cup

Oh i knkw the feeling. Its ever so slightly more satisfying than having an australian actress trying and failing to say "lava lizards" in an american accent

not with this sad attempt at an accent

@@ots1634 yeah his Spanish accent leaks through pretty bad

it's a classic rant, but with a rather flawed analogy. Football fans (and team sports fans in general) can seriously influence a team's performance both on and off the pitch whether or not they attend matches, by buying merchandise and promoting the brand. How can one influence a fictional, scripted and already filmed and edited movie?? A better example would be to say you're a bit supporter of a massive brand like Apple or Microsoft. Doesn't seem nearly as cool but you can influence them in the same way

Lol

He needed the scotch to cope with his insufferable workmate. He knew what was coming.

A great little bit of plot.

Also the underwear in his briefcase 😅

in another sketch with this set he writes the scripts for porn movies, so i guess it's so he gets in the mood

I was half expecting it to be because he was secretly a spurs fan, the fact it has nothing to do with anything is hilarious.

In his book david tells a story of his roommate covering their apartment in football stuff trying to get a reaction from him, which he refused to acknowledge. This sketch, especially the beginning, reminds me a lot of that

Thanks

Paul, are you personally David Mitchell?

Yes

Paul Thoresen Remember when you married that amazing woman with the same sardonic sense of humour as you and starred on all those episodes of QI and Would You Lie to Me?

Vaguely

My god yeah that one ended up being hilarious! Our years of experience with script writing really did help.

Watch it! It's going to MOOVE!

I really like this sketch, so I'm David Mitchell.

Do you? It's a funny sketch but fans ARE a part of the sports team. Their support - both literal and financial - keeps a football club going.

@@mmaclipsuknow Maybe moreso in the lower leagues? Still when fans gloat over fans of other teams if they win a game/trophy it's like...you didn't do anything, you just got lucky at that moment with the team you arbitrarily picked (even worse if it's a team that regularly wins anyway) There's even less to gloat about if it's from birth as in my case, I was just assigned my support without realizing. Idk, when people ''banter'' others over their support I kind of agree with this sketch ''WE won the league'' ''YOUR team couldn't do that they're not elite'' it's like man, we're arguing over players who couldn't care either of us existed.

@@RifleEyez i get where you are coming from, no doubt. I feel like it's alright feeling as part of a team. Sure, the players don't care about any fan in particular but most footballers will agree that fans are the 12th player. After all home advantage is a real thing in sports. But yeah, that doesn't give you the rights to go and randomly mock other team fans, that aren't part of the banter.

@@mmaclipsuknow I think we agree. I understand why people do it (I even subconsciously feel like doing it) but also bantering like you are better than someone else because of an arbitrary decision you made is weird to me. It's so pointless you may as well respond ''well I support Bayern Munich/Real Madrid suddenly and we win way more than you". 12th man I agree, it contributes (along with not travelling, being comfortable in your own changing room, etc) but many fans don't go to games and do the same. But yeah, I'll leave it at that.

@@mmaclipsuknow Exact same argument could be used for movies though - fan support is what makes them viable and successful. So you haven't really countered David's position.

Thanks to COVID19 and telecommuting, it’s quite easy these days! 😁

I genuinely think I could do that once and not be asked about it, such jobs exist!

With you lot trapped in there, you didn't stand a chance! It's a miracle that your guy survived such an ordeal. Maybe your stormtroopers could afford to train a little more.

@@ShenDoodles Did you skip the part where the stormtroopers let them go on purpose?

this is literally a joke in big bang theory lol

AH. FELLOW HUMAN, YES I DO. IT WAS 1 FUN, AS WE SCORED 1 MORE POINT!

Those were the best times

English football isn't the only football in the world. There are still countries where clubs are owned by the fans/members.

Brilliant!

No, that would be beer and corn flakes.

Ah, but not Champions league winners.

It's because he said "cash flow" or", balance sheet" or "merger"... One of those... I forget...

+Hi Ho Wolverhampton or 'we' when referring to race

WOLVES AY WE

Except you are a member of that race, not a player for that team.

being a member of a race is pretty much equivalent to being a fan of a team.

@@footballnerd277 No it's not, when was the last time someone was systematically oppressed for liking Spurs over Sandals?

It's also similar to those idiots who make the bogus, delusional claims that they're suddenly in a relationship (let alone "engaged", or even MARRIED) with/to someone who they only know online/through social media, whom they haven't even yet met, and may never even meet in real life for that matter too! Why so many others still don't get that simple concept to this day, and are so stupid to truly realize this otherwise, I'll never know either! L.O.L.!

Extremely relevant 12 years on

99% of Liverpool fans are just glory hunters

We use we because us fans are involved as well, especially as we are part of the club as well, the support we give is a big part of what goes on in football, without fans there is no football.

​@@TONYCOV881You are a customer, not part of the business (club).

@@drjamespotter Like I said without fans there is no football, the supporters are what start a club in the first place. Further more I am a Coventry City supporter and we supporters are known as the Sky Blue Army yes we are part of it all. The players, the supporters, the manager, coaching and the owner have a special bond going on. The players even acknowledge how important we are hence that is why in football the supporter is know as the 12th man. You still don't believe me? Well try telling that to the rest of the footballing world.

@@TONYCOV881 while I get what you're saying, the phrase "without fans there is no football" is a bit too far. I've been playing football with friends for ages, without any fans. The football was still there :) But *without fans there is no business*, and without business the players can't do it full time and the team can't have the best players. That is similar to the movie analogy presented by David - fans buying the tickets to see the movie, and the merch etc, pay for the movie production - so without fans there is less special effects, less top-level actors, and low chance of sequel (up for discussion whether that is good or bad for some movies). The only difference is perhaps that the fans in a football game can hype the players for better performance, while the movie is shot without fans being present (but then again, there are sitcoms shot in front of live audience, so maybe they have a claim to be part of them?)

@@panda4247 Like I say football is real, is something we attend every week, we are members of it and it is our very way of life. A film or sitcom isn't real.

*All* sports fans, man. My wife says exactly the same thing when I talk about how "we" beat Florida, or Tech, or someone. "What exactly did *you* do?"

I hope you're being ironic

@@cbernier3 Its true, I was there.

Primo X not sure if you're describing football or religion.

Who cares if you support a team from somewhere other than where you live? Would you get rid of all the merchandise you buy and then change teams if you moved to a new area? Talking in a way that takes credit for the teams performance is dumb though.

People can support whatever team they want ffs. Also, local football in Northern Ireland is atrocious and based on sectarianism.

@@gigantopithecus1645 "Who cares if you support a team from somewhere other than where you live" said by every plastic. if you supported your local team and went to games and was a part of the community and culture of the club, then you'd understand there is a massive difference.

I'm American. Same thing with our baseball teams

@@TONYCOV881 100%. I've been a Canberra Raiders fan since I was a kid. While I've never played a minute of rugby league, I have an emotional connection with my Raiders and am deeply invested in their fortunes. And I have Raiders mates who are the same as me. We're all tragics.

​@@andrewpelechaty7634 Tragics?

Id say the 2 are slightly different though when saying 'we' landed on a comet the we is referring to mankind land on a comet. Although the majority of us had no part in the actual landing we are still part of mankind. However with football the people saying we are not part of the team and are just fans so I less of a personal claim to victory or whatever.

Oh just like when we "landed on the moon".

@@Anthonyamabile1 But you could argue that the supporters helped the club to victory in the same way mankind helped the ESA land on a comet. It's the exact same

@@Anthonyamabile1 the logic is literally identical... none of us played ANY part in landing on a comet. yet we still say "we". this argument that football fans shouldn't say "we" is always from people that simply do not understand football.

did you?!

@Evi1M4chine Pump your brakes kid, that man's a national treasure.

Exactly what I was thinking! It looks like it.

Good spot!

I've grown to hate the sport precisely because of the "everyone must be into it" attitude of the fans. And the players. And the TV schedulers.

So you two, who do you support?

i'm with optimussledge on this. that and the way they act like dickheads, whether they win or not. seriously, how could you give a fuck about the people that play it?

The Red_Devil Well.....they're not shit enough that they're still in Europe, and competing for 2nd in the league. How was Utd's game against Seville?
