How very strange?
I look forward to seeing him take his "beloved" Swindon Town to the dizzy heights and hearing more of his views on the US economy!

If we had this John Green fella upfront we may have faired better last year.

That is quite surreal.  ???

"The uploader has closed their account"

I feel robbed

That was bloody wierd but funny, I love the way he kept saying "my beloved Swindon Town"

Shame hes closed the account though :(

Interesting....google is your friend! he is an author http://johngreenbooks.com/ there are some links on there to his FIFA Swindon exploits!

Sad :(

Maybe it was because I invited him to reveal his STFC fandom on the TEF

He has 1,159,524 followers on twitter.

He seems a bit mad, he's written the 'Swindon Town Gazette' here:

I particularly like the mention of the 6-0 victory over Scunthorpe United in the FIFA Champions League.

I don't know what's sadder, Spending my friday night watching this. Or slightly enjoying his ramblings. Intriguing though and yes, bizzare, quite bizzare

oooh it's back!

Going back there used to be a John Green, who was a bit of a Town fan...he was a bit mad as well, and consequently a bit scary, managed to get himself razored at Wembley in 69, so the facial scar didn't improve his looks. This Green turned his venom into representing the Worker's Revolutionary Party in Swindon, a political niche, even when many, unlike today were on the left.  Green's story of how he shagged Swindon's leading female NF supporter, a particular favourite...who knows it might have even been true.

Go S-Town Swoodilypoopers! :D

Heard there's a piece and interview with John Green about this tomorrow on BBC Wiltshire at half time.

I'm going to out on a limb here and say this guy sucks at fifa.

That's judging on his arena dribbles before the game though. I'm not watching 13 minutes of that.

Watching the FIFA is one thing... But the fan theme music takes it to wonderful levels. If I'm honest, I've visited the blog a few times since Sonic unleashed this bad boy thread.

Hi,

The American in question here. First, I'm thrilled actual Swindon Town FC supporters have seen a few of the FIFA videos, and it was a real thrill to be interviewed by the BBC about the show. I thought I'd answer a few questions that've come up here:

1. I do not write the tumblr (and I do not know who writes it). I will occasionally give a quote from a player or from me as a manager to the person who writes it, but it's strictly a fan-driven thing.

2. I'm a big football fan (it is correct that I have 1.1 million twitter followers at my REAL account; I have far fewer on the account I use to livetweet football matches, @sportswithjohn). I've supported Liverpool since I was a kid.

3. I am terrible at FIFA.

4. I started playing as Swindon Town because my brother and I were playing FIFA (we have a popular videoblog together; that's why so many people watch the Swoodilypoopers videos) and, while I am terrible, he is even worse than I am. So he was playing as Arsenal and I decided to play as Swindon Town, because I remembered their epic 1969 victory over Arsenal.

Let us now pause and enjoy:

Right, so in the game of FIFA I played with my brother, Swindon again beat Arsenal, and I had so much fun playing with the Swindon Town players that I decided to start a video series in which I would lead a (fictional) version of the team all the way to the top of the premier league.

5. Right, so along the way I've watched the real Swindon several times, and my affection for them grows steadily. I was very pleased by the win in the first round of the FA Cup and look forward to the Colchester United match. Not the best draw, but it's certainly winnable.

-John

Awesome!!

Firstly, is this John Green or Bald John Green we're speaking to?!

Secondly, i find myself enjoying your Youtube videos about the swoodlypoopers and I don't really know why! Transfixing...

And finally, the girl who interviewed you on BBC Radio Wiltshire (Marie Lennon) is a very good friend of mine. Was quite an interesting original piece for post-match radio!

soapy tit wank - I just came to this thread to find out if the Radio Interview happened. Legend.

Brilliant keep it up mate!

That's dull. You are Swindon Town now, sorry but there is no choice on the matter.

Once a Swindon fan always a Swindon fan.

Great to have you on the TEF John. Enjoyed the BBC interview. If I remember rightly, you said you hope to come to a Town game some time this season. I'm sure you'll get a warm welcome from most on here if you make yourself known!

Scouse twat.

Legend!

Who remembers Bartek?

On the radio was a song about GK Lucas carrying a bit if weight? Sung by a women IIRC.

The 'Fat Lucas' song... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCC74kBRl-w

Our Polish friend? During the Lukas Jutkiewicz days I believe?

*That's* the sort of reply I was looking for!

I'm hoping to come to England for my new book in late spring, and if I get there, I'll definitely arrange to see a match, and hopefully buy a few of you a drink beforehand. Thanks again for the warm welcome!

What a bizarre thread.

Where in the States are you based John ? I hope to see pictures of a STFC scarf hung up in some American bar soon :)

Thank you, I thought I dreamt it for a moment.

Heard about this as I was driving to the game...its so bizarre, love it and especially like the You Tube clip....someone`s got to remind her in 10 years time. The guy get 20k hits on You tube when he plays...god what a weird lot we humans are :hmmm:

That's the one :)

The question is why does she have a roll of gaffa tape beside her on the bed?  Kinky bitch.

Is the interview online anywhere? These videos have saved me from further insanity at work on many occasions.

To think some people were saying there wasn't enough wierd shit on the TEF anymore.

Surreal but superb

hahhahahahaha, Fat Lucas...

I think even Noel Fielding would find this surreal.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=R115Q0TC0vk

Ha, those two songs are fantastic!!!  Cheered me up no end after such a shite day at work.

This is all truly surreal stuff...

I'm half tempted to buy a ukulele now and get in on the act...

Unbelievable scenes

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKUDDpWk3l8

I'm fond of this one, although the kid had to make do with my terrible singing.

My favorite song written by fans at the moment is about central defender "One Size" Fitz Hall: He's big; he's small. He's also short and tall. One Size Fitz Hall, One Size Fitz Hall.

I want a ukelele

And a roll of gaffer tape

Just genius.  Zombiecorn is the future, too.

For those who may not have heard it - I'll put the BBC Wiltshire interview on youtube / soundcloud today.

stand by for the link..


(totally have the anthem to fat lucas in my head)

Haha, weird stuff, but I like it.
There's a facebook page too
Swindon Town Swoodilypoopers (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Swindon-Town-Swoodilypoopers/267931139894046?sk=wall)

Swoodilypoopers, can we change our nickname to this?

His Fifa team line up made me smile too:

Bald John Green
Other John Green
Fat Lucas
Stone Cold Cteve (with a C) Austin
LEEEEROYYY Williamson
Voluptuous Pericard (injured)
One Size Fitz Hall
Alalalalalala Lallana
Perry Parry
Beef Stock
Bodin Bodin
F. Bolzoni
J. McGovern

I heard the interview today. I'm not sure whether to be impressed that the Swoodilypoopers have more regulars than he real Swindon Town.

Hell, if a Fat Lucas song is wrong I don't want to be right.

John Green, I'll buy you a (proper) beer if you come to a game. I say proper. It'll be Arkells. I don't like Arkells but its the principle that counts.

Remember the Swoodilypoopers guy? Well, he's coming to Swindon next month.

http://www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk/news/10142359.Swoodilypoopers_manager_John_Green_is_coming_to_Swindon/?ref=mmnsp

Maybe Batch can buy him that beer after all.

 :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

Happily.

This is even more surreal.

Erm, riiiiight, well its good John Green got us another punter in I suppose. Even a clueless one.

But she trash talked Madrid fans, have some respect.

Her whiny yank voice irritated the hell out of me.

Fucking hell.

What an ignorant, naive, opinionated, self righteous little cunt she is. Ewwwww.

Shame she didn't go to the Tranmere or Pompey games! Love the fact she thinks we're 'mean' bless her. She should've sat in the Town End now that would've been an education for her!

"Surrendering your dignity to be accepted by others"

It's a fucking football match you dumb septic twat.

OK own up, who suggested she should go to Millwall.

OH.

Weird that,but strangely alluring.

Can't agree with you an alluring Leefer. I couldn't bear to watch that again. She grated.

I just put alluring as i am trying to improve my spelling.

I'm trying to decide if I would or not. Yanks love it.

All I can say about that is, I still can't believe Thomson stayed on the pitch.

Would it be wrong to add her to the birds you would...but really shouldn't thread?  I think she would fit in nicely there.

Swindon coarses through our veins you imbecile. Well done for constructing a framework and neatly slotting us into your cosy viewpoint  :suicide: It'd have happened elsewhere, Oakwell, Carrow Road, Home Park, she'd already formed her tidy evaluation before even witnessing the game  :suicide: We're subdued in my experience at home, God forbid she should travel with us away, where the vocal element truly manifests itself.

No doubt she got an A Grade for her neat parallel between the USA election and Swindon Town FC, whilst dismissing us as mere Neanderthals. Piss off and never come back.

Was just about to type this exact post.

Totally would, not ashamed in the slightest.

i got as far as "tied zero zero" before closing the tab.

Swindon fans are cruel...yes we are you thick bint

Not so sure.

I think Suggs saying he would is being surprisingly fair to the thick bint

John Green himself came along to the game yesterday.

Now one of us.  Properly.  :-)

Hope that Yankee bunt comes to an away game....hopefully on a train when we are all pissed up.

Yanks will never get it.....never....and long may that continue.
