![]() But don’t worry! Wayne and his friends aren’t pushovers, and they love to get into a good scrap, with background music often mismatched to the violent scenes for comedic effect. Their strong opinions and debates bring out each other’s strong-willed personality, and they work so well off of each other, never really losing that wholesome, small-town feel. What’s so unique about the show is the many traits and quirks of each character. A couple of local hockey players, Reily and Jonesy (who together date the sassy, girl-next-door Katy), are also major players in the plotline, with some other quirky characters interacting with the gang. Their friends, Daryl and Squirrely Dan, are also key members of the immediate, easy-to-love cast. Until then, they may want to put organising a Super League on the back-burner.The Canadian television show Letterkenny (all 6 seasons are available on Hulu) gives us a peek into the many problems of the residents of a small rural community in Canada of the same name: Letterkenny, and more specifically the antics of the brother and sister duo, Wayne and Katy. They can deal with not being in the Champions League knockout stages this season, but not being in the competition at all next year would be another economic disaster among many. There have been positives since Xavi took charge, but Bayern once again showed how much work Barca have to do. There’s perhaps no better way to sum up Barca’s situation at the right now. Another cliche in Barcelona at the moment is “it is what it is,” born from the now infamous comment made - and heavily criticised by the local media - by previous coach Ronald Koeman after the 3-0 defeat to Bayern at Camp Nou in September. Sitting seventh in LaLiga, after defeats to Rayo Vallecano and Real Betis, a top-four spot in the Spanish league is by no means a given after 15 games. Equally, the Europa League may also end up being Barca’s best chance of being in the Champions League next season. By the time the competition restarts in February, Xavi will have had over three months working with his squad. The Europa League could be good for them. In addition to Pedri and Ansu, Gavi, Nico Gonzalez, Ronald Araujo and Abde Ezzalzouli have been among the best performers this season. Financial restrictions that forced the summer exits of Lionel Messi and Antoine Griezmann, have led to extended opportunities for a crop of talented youngsters. There are not many players in the squad, with the clear exception of Frenkie de Jong, in their peak years. Dani Alves has also been brought back to the team - as a player at 38 years old - as the club bank on a mix of nostalgia, veterans and youth to take them back to the top. He may need five years to get Barca competing for the Champions League again. The seeds for change have already been planted by the appointment of club legend Xavi - as well as the return of Laporta as president earlier this year - but the Bayern game was just his fifth in charge. ![]()
