Gnob * coughs * Hey guys just a heads up that I'm currently feeling super grim and I went for a test and it turns out I've somehow got Covid. Don't worry I'm not having serious issues it's just a super rough flu for me at the moment but yea it's not pleasant!

loopyloo * moves away from Gnob * Aw shit (does this finally solve the mystery of what has happened to loopyloo?)

Rod Now that you have played in a final, what has changed? How have you changed? Do your tribe members treat you with more respect than before? Are you now more arrogant than ever? Do you look down on less successful coaches? Or do you give them advice so that they can one day reach your level?

luxyluxo *waves the flag of some grotty European backwater while screaming * Respect is for Ugly Dorfs or dem pointy eared elfy glitz or dem hoooomans! Fears is da secret and my boyz fears me more now! Iz I now moor arrogant dan befor? Na I was always da best , destined for da top ! Do I look down to less successful coaches? Of coursez youz look down wen you ist at da topz ! Or do I give them adviss so that dey kan wun day reach my level? Na....no adviss.... itz in da genez innit.... (Here luxy motions obscenely to his pants... there is an awkward silence around the panel.)



Gnob * coughs * I think the big thing for me was actually winning a final for once. I have an awful habit of bottling it and so I felt my curse has been lifted which should make me less nervous when I have the final next season too * begins to laugh and then starts coughing again* But yea it was a good match and I suffered some bad luck first half but just shows not to get tilted and to just keep plodding on because things can change.
I think I was the one to beat this season mainly because I have lots of Stunty experience and it's been good to see everyone else improve throughout and I'm sure next season will be even more competitive. And I'm always up for giving advice to anyone who asks for it - don't reroll a troll unless it's absolutely critical!

loopyloo Now that me played in big large show, me looking to provide more joy with increased exposure. My loyal circus crew friends love making happy big smiles, and we looking to make more crowd grinnings, I sertinly will not run away wiv da proffits

knine I've made a few finals before, never with Gobbos, and we Winnipeg Bombers like the pressure. Respect .... is earned, and arrogance... well, we are gobbos, so arrogance is already at an all time high. Look down on other coaches???... not very sporting, what what!!! My advice is like Gnob's....NEVER give up. There is always a chance you'll roll the 6+ dodge, uphill double POW on the ball carrier on turn 16.



Gnob *Cough.*

Rod So what player do you aim to steal first next season? And if you are open enough to talk about your personal feelings, when stealing a player: do you focus on improving your own squad, or is it more important to spoil the other team's chances?

Gnob For the Mischiefs it's always about improving your own posistion and with that naturally you undermine an opponent but the benefits to your team outweighs any other consideration. I have my eyes on a few people especially now that the new rules on upkeep are coming on I can't rely solely on star players anymore and need some homegrowns! *cough*

luxyluxo Stealing weez neffer stealz , weez liborateez em datz all.



Gnob *Cough. Splutter*

loopyloo Me always appreciate a spectacle, and me has good eye for talent yes yes. I look around for fun act and then persuade them to become loyal friend. Then we go to the pitch and give all a good show yup yup!

Gnob *Cough.*

knine Not having coached Gobbos often, my strategy in season 0 was to do maximum carnage on the first drive, so I max'd out secret weapons. It didn't work in most games as I would fail something early and then get into a CAS fest. I'd end up scrambling through the second half with too many on the bench/banned, so I max'd out on numbers too. This meant I had the higher tv most games, so my opponents did well with bribes and fewer secret weapons. And, because I was firing MNGs and hiring newbies, I was always short of cash and couldn't buy cards.
SO, my new strategy: one, maybe two, quality stars, not secret weapon dudes, and I'll play the cards more next season.

Gnob *Makes sounds with his nose*



RodYou have seen the upcoming season's card decks. Are there any cards you are especially keen to discuss?

Gnob *Cough.*

Knine Magic cards, ok. Dirty tricks, ok, except the Toxic Mushrooms....a team could suffer 6 bonehead players... way too powerful! *starts to cry* Goblin cheaters: Greased Shoes: one MA, or just one player! Too strong! *cries louder with tears flowing* The Toxic Mushroom 2d6 Bonehead card is a game changer. I'm all for some carnage, spice-it-up cards, but a card that is too debilitating would ruin the game!

luxyluxo I like the new Superstar cards , I presume you can play the rival card in your upcoming opponent or on another coach you just don’t like the look of.

Gnob *Wheeze.*



loopyloo *eating cheese* Me like look of all new cardies. Me especially like Magic card change, paste looks very fun good... well, look good if me can see it! Dirty tricks deck seem very big potent, strong cards big swings. 2d3 on lots lots. Still, me think it not too overwhelming big. Sertinly not so overwhelming big dat I will run away neva to be seen agin.

GnobYea new cards look good. Already got myself a filcher in order to have a bit more action but yea they look fun! Hopefully get some good results with them

Rod Which card do you think is the most underpowered and weak?



luxyluxoI lovez Hashut’s Dentures ...mighty blow and frenzy ...yes please. Weakest card... Jark’s Longarm. Who cares about catching ?

Gnob *Splutter.*

loopyloo Cloak of Isha bad, no good. What dumb dumb say cloak for battle? Even if true rumours true, why need AV better? Just dodge, no die!

knine I like Toxic Mushrooms.

Gnoblar I am looking forward to anything with frog related. Zapped Circle of Doom or a failed Sponge. *laughs like a child, then coughs*




Rod Should referees be banned from posing with teams on their photo shoots? Doesn't it look very strange, if not biased? We even heard rumours that some teams pay the ref's salary!

luxyluxoOh la la arbitre! As weez used to sayz en Bretonnia , backz wenz weez was playing da gobbos dere ! Only gud ref is a ref u ownz innit or wat iz da use of da ref ? Putz him in da boyz pic , as longs as he stops dem oppo trolls! (At this point luxy's microphone is turned off, as Cabalvision producers are afraid that he will once again speak in some foul foreign language)

Gnob *Cough.*



loopyloo The circus dismiss allegations of ref manipulation. All can see we have many sent to foul box, we no have advantage. The circus only remarks that they fully endorse big maintaining of the peace so that there no hurties to the fans! Ref need respect and acknowledgement, me no mind they join with team in snap snappies

Gnob Refs should not be on teams ever... *coughs while experiencing flashbacks to all the times that ref positional has screwed him*



Rod If someone held a knife on your throat and demanded you to invent a new Black Market Card, what would it be?

loopyloo hmmm.... me think if me in that situation, me design "neck guard" card, prevent from neck stabbings. Then me call security. An den me run away neva to be seen eva agin.

Gnob No more coughing card. *a hacking, wheezing splutter that racks his pathetic stick body, followed by the thud of an unconcious person falling from a chair)

luxyluxo (somehow the impact of Gnob's pathetic frame onto the floor reactivates luxy's microphone, catching him in the middle of an outrageous rant) Gork’s favour! A great bloody foot would descend from gobbo heaven and smite my enemies and it wud be amazin because I am better than the Blood Bowl wizards so it would be like a fireball but bigger and probably kill the crowd as well. Den i wuldz huntz da bastard with da knifez and garotz em innit, and den probably feed dere babies to my pet squig.
