  Just gotta say, Alfie, I was queuing up videos to watch this morning, and found myself hoping there'd be something good. I watched a few, and there, tucked among the dross, was this gem. I saw that it was your video, and actually smiled and laughed, immediately cheered by the prospect of another excellent deep dive into football. When I saw how long it was, I actually sighed with happiness. I'm not maybe your usual demographic, being a nearly 60-year-old Spurs fan and grandmother. But I love your work, and just wanted to make sure I said so. I hope you've had a great day, and that it gets better from here.

  The Miraculous Rise Of Atalanta, from playing in Serie B in 2011/2012 season to winning the Europa League, beating a generational Leverkusen side and finishing in the top 5 in Serie A for a couple of seasons now. They deserve it.

  I'm not going to lie, I'm a bit disappointed to find this video is about Premier League teams from the north, not teams from the Northern Premier League

  i am a welsh premier league fan and i always find myself asking "where have the teams from our biggest cities gone?" the answer is that they play in england while the rest of welsh football is severely neglected and starved of any kind of attention. I think a video about our league's short history and it's uncertain future would be very good 👍 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

  The JD Vance jump scare was entirely uncalled for, I was trying to have a decent morning.

  I notice how the economic downturn of northern England kind of reflects the economic downturn in United States with the rust belt region as both have been negatively impacted by economic realignment

  The Hull Allam 'you can die when you want' quote will never not be funny.

  Alfie, actually logged in to tell you how great I think your videos are - I always look forward to your uploads and cannot remember a video I haven't enjoyed. You talk about football in a calm, fun, insightful way - no rage bait, genuine analysis. Love what you do. Thank you!

  The obvious reason what happened to the northern teams is simply money. The south of England is much richer than the north with London teams charging double for tickets and merch compared to northern teams. Therefore they make more money and thus thanks to financial rules can spend more. Only teams like city who have a rich owner, liverpool with large base of fans thanks to previous league wins and united who have a massive worldwide fanbase can really survive in this modern day league.
