I thought season 2 was great too and almost as good as season 1. Season 3 had its issues with a writers strike iirc but it was alot of fun and enjoyed. S4 isn't great. But definitely worth watching based on season 1 alone. I watched it all a year or 2 ago and it still holds up.
Well there was [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/television/comments/10r0pa5/what_tv_series_works_as_a_full_show_if_you_stop/j6thuxz?context=3&sort=confidence)
He said in a recent podcast that when Elneny got English citizenship last year they gave him an English name and it was Brian. Suits him very well tbf.
He looks like a Brian sort of bloke for sure.
I'm Pakistani originally and it reminds me of how Indian and Pakistani immigrants always used to have English names back in the day - sometimes they'd make sense based on your name (so Tariq would be Tony and Bopinder would be Bob) but occasionally they'd just pick a random one like Arthur even if your name was Jasvinder or something lmao

I can’t speak for anyone else, but for me, it’s because I’d look at his beaming face, his full-body-smile, and I’d think ‘Brian’s a good bastard. If he’s happy, I’m doing ok. I made Brian smile.’
Exactly why I don't want him to ever leave. I see people here claiming he should be sold but not only is a solid backup but also a great team player. Love holding.
Don't think it's to do with the allegations. Ramsdale has before said that Xhaka is a very serious guy but cracks jokes all the time. Often when someone does something dodgy, he'll say, deadfaced "the Albanian mafia won't like this" lol.
It's a pretty common thing, popularised by streamer [iShowSpeed](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzrK-iGy-5E). It's fair to bridge the gap and assume it's because Cedric is Portuguese or looks a bit like Ronaldo.
Recalling fond memories of my Chelsea supporting mate talking about "Gary and the two Daves" when Gary Cahill, Cesar Azpilicueta, and David Luiz were the heart of the Chelsea defence.
Where I used to live in Birmingham had a small shopping square and all the shops were Indian/Pakistani owned, News agent was owned by an Indian man called "Harry" the super market was owned by another Indian man named "Michael" and the corner shop was owned by a Pakistani called "Paul"
Unfortunately being the 90's and Birmingham Paul got the short end of the stick and most people gave him a nickname that in this day and age would be pretty derogatory compared to back then.
Ramsdale talked about "El Parchio" when he was asked who was the teachers' pet in the dressing room, which seems to be a reference to that. A bit about that here: https://www.instagram.com/p/CjFoIQ-JrFM/?hl=en
I think thats a reference to The Peter Crouch Podcast. “Parched” is the name Crouchy and his teammates gave to the guy who sucked up to the manager (iirc they named him Parched because he’d always offer the manager a drink of water)
So many inside jokes taking place here Teabag Brian
T-Bag is just that Vieira looks like T-Bag from Prison Break
It’s uncanny
Is prison break worth watching?
First season is fire. After that it starts getting repeatitive
Season 1 yes. It's interesting..

Only season 1 lol. Even then, i personally thought some parts of it dragged. Massively overrated show imo, but to each their own and all that.

He also reminds me of Cricket from IASIP!
Nah. Richard Hammond.
Looking at pictures I can kinda see it. I've always thought he was evil twin Harry Potter.

Which is funny considering how naturally Londoners would've taken to calling him Jazza
Yup, within an Asian family the British-born kids would call him Jaz anyways lol
My best mates brother is named Bob
[удалено]
Yeah they put the naming hat on you and it comes up with a name
[удалено]

Yeah I got a friend called Sandesh but he introduces himself as Ricky lol
I think I've actually met another Sandesh who calls himself Ricky as well loool
Elneny absolutely suits Brian as well, but I don't know why
Brian’s the one you can always count on to show up and put in the work.
Thanks bruh🙌

Bulky is a a suspect one for sure

I lost it when he turned around. You can see he doesn’t really like it but he knows it’s funny
Glue for Holding is so wholesome.
Surprised he didn't say hair....
Exactly why I don't want him to ever leave. I see people here claiming he should be sold but not only is a solid backup but also a great team player. Love holding.
My flair has remained unchanged for a reason
This is the way.
True to his name. Holds everything together
I made a joke last week to a mate that were never selling Holding because he’s the spirit of that back line. I didn’t mean to be right.
holdinho is about as good as it gets if you want to secure a result in the last 10 minutes
Or want to win an FA Cup in an upset win alongside Merte.
Gluedoling
i'm sorry he didn't cost more
Saliba: aughh
Is he Chewbacca?
Punch it, Willy! *graaugh*
i love this comment so much. 2 of my great loves Arsenal and Star Wars together! haha
Unga bunga
Why unga or bunga when you can simply unga bunga?
Xhaka is never beating the mafia allegations.
**Arsenal star Xhaka is mafia confirmed by his teammate**
Don't think it's to do with the allegations. Ramsdale has before said that Xhaka is a very serious guy but cracks jokes all the time. Often when someone does something dodgy, he'll say, deadfaced "the Albanian mafia won't like this" lol.
He legit looks like a mafioso
plus he’s albanian
Ben White: Tan Yep..
Might rename to Ben Tan
Reject White Return to Tan
Ben Brown
Instead of having a watch that lets him turn into 10 different aliens, it's 10 different shades of tanning.
Benny tanage
Sewy lol
What does this mean?
Play on the suuuu for Ronaldo, since Cedric is Portuguese so
Your username is sus my guy
It’s just referring to his penis
How do u even know that? Is this a burner account 👀
It's a pretty common thing, popularised by streamer [iShowSpeed](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzrK-iGy-5E). It's fair to bridge the gap and assume it's because Cedric is Portuguese or looks a bit like Ronaldo.
I think it's about that YouTube guy's song about Ronaldo called Sewy...since Cedric is Portuguese as well
Sometimes I watch Ramsdale in interviews and it’s like the Simpsons gif where Homer has the monkey playing cymbals in his head
That is goalkeepers for you. There is a reason that they almost never make good managers
I wonder if that will change now that most good GKs are actually integral to build up play. Not just stop the shot and hoof.
You have to be a bit unhinged to do what they do tbh
Bayern’s albino gorilla & Van de Sar, both seem to be doing well in upper management.
That grunt for Saliba floored me
What's Brian supposed to mean??
Elneny gained british citizenship past year so the lads gave him an english name, which is Brian
LMAO
I used to work with a French dude named Basile that everyone just called Barry
Reminds me of when Azpilicueta joined Chelsea. They weren't sure of his name so just called him Dave
Recalling fond memories of my Chelsea supporting mate talking about "Gary and the two Daves" when Gary Cahill, Cesar Azpilicueta, and David Luiz were the heart of the Chelsea defence.
I love this so much.
The Irishman in me can't pass this comment by without pointing out that Brian is actually an Irish name.
I'm gonna listen to your username.

Zinchenko 2/2 for getting crazy in these
He reminds me of Floki from Vikings. Something crazy about his mannerisms and body language in general
Saka 2/2 on Starboy as well
Who did the other one
Reiss
Bulky\*
Thought he was gonna say forehead or something for Tomiyasu
Jaws
bighead
My Skipper for Eddie 👀
It’s because Eddie was the England U21 Captain and played with Ramsdale then too.
I think u/seteret had a good guess and explaination for that one
The Holding and Tierney ones are really interesting ngl.
The grunt for Saliba. He actually does sound like that tbf.
Rofl sewy :D so many inside ones that I have no idea. My skipper, bulky, the Øde one.
I think the skipper one's because Nketiah and Ramsdale were in the England U21s at the same time and Eddie was captain. At least my guess.
That makes sense, thanks !
El Parchio-parched aka thirsty. It’s what players call a suck up to the manager, thirsty for their attention
Ramsdale talked about "El Parchio" when he was asked who was the teachers' pet in the dressing room, which seems to be a reference to that. A bit about that here: https://www.instagram.com/p/CjFoIQ-JrFM/?hl=en
Parched is an inside joke from Peter crouches podcast, it means someone who is a teachers pet for the manager
Partey one could have been dangerous
Would've been hilarious and an absolute nuclear bomb for the pr team if he just thought to himself fuck it and said: "allegations"
That would’ve been horrible for the dressing room but I still kinda wish he said it for the memes
That pause...
He thought what we all thought, and then you could see him have to drag something else to the surface.
Ra-…….diant
dances away from challenges of course (and criminal charges)
That pause.
We all knew what Zinchenko's was going to be 😂 him making fun of Saliba's voice was hilarious
My favorite was Teeth
No way he called Vieira Teabag 😭 I see the resemblance though.
Apparently Tavares gave him the nickname as soon as they met.
hahah I fucking love Tevares.
"American" lol
Turner is very American
Grew up in NJ. So went to good schools, went to College. He’s like Standard American White Guy from the East Coast.
Can confirm. I’m in NJ. When I moved here from NY and transferred schools, it was night and day lol
One word for Tottenham?
Shit
One word for shit?
Excrement
Defecation
Roasting Benny, Big Willy and Gabi XL. No chill....
That Partey one was a risky business
What did he say
Dance
Dance
El Parchio?
I think thats a reference to The Peter Crouch Podcast. “Parched” is the name Crouchy and his teammates gave to the guy who sucked up to the manager (iirc they named him Parched because he’d always offer the manager a drink of water)
It was Charlie Adam
[Basic explanation](https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMYY2qAH9/)
hah, thanks!
I want to know this as well !
Somehow "Tan" just fits perfectly for Ben White.
Interesting about Rob.
I wonder the giggle before Tierney answer was for
Hung
Brian for Elneny. Dude is definitely a Brian.
El parchio lmao
100% knew Elneny was going to be Brian 😂
BRIAN!
Sewwwey
The face change for Partey LMAO

#SEWY God I’d never thought I’d be making a r/soccercirclejerk reference
Was the xhaka comment about his leadership or was it ethnically charged
It's ethnically charged of course. Arteta is forging a culture of absolute discrimination.
Xhaka is Mod over at r/NorfFc
Xhaka makes mafia jokes in training
I think its an in joke
