At least the organised blackouts will mean we can't read the news. Every cloud

I am genuinely a little bit thrilled by this

Show a bit of tact, Craig! (sorry )

I can't say how it'll be for you or what the timeframe will be, but I found it went hand in hand with seeing the improvements to my life from not drinking. Positive reinforcement, if you like. So it's not "I will have a non-alcoholic drink because I've persuaded myself I don't like alcohol any more" - that second part is unrealistic for most people anyway - but more "I will have a non-alcoholic drink because look at how much better a person I am when I don't let alcohol continuously fuck things up for me". That requires you to do the things you're doing now - looking ahead, wanting to fix things, being honest and open with yourself and others. Keep doing that and the rest will start falling into place over time, even if it'll undoubtedly be tough for a while, because that's how it is with all learned behaviours (let alone the ones that involve addictive substances). There'll be ups and downs, but keep talking your way through the downs (including on here) and internalising how good the ups feel so that you want to keep striving for them. For all recovery has its challenges, it can also feel like a huge weight off your shoulders, and I hope you find yourself feeling that in due course.

Made it even tastefuller

I don't think there's anything I could say that these brilliant people haven't said already (or, indeed, that you haven't said yourself). As hard as it is, never be too shy or too proud to ask for help - you need it, and it's shit that life has dealt you such a hand that you do, but it's out there and it will help. And absolutely keep talking, whether it's to us or family or professionals or peers. Staying as honest as possible with yourself will get you a long way in figuring things out. Love you mate, hang on in there and keep us posted.

Screw that, let's treat this like a Pardew cup tie

Like they're his favourite band or something. You should play ignorant and be all "Oh you like The Great Reset? Name three of their albums"

I have joined with my traditional restriction (only players with a "z" in their name)

Don't worry, Sunak is here to provide a distraction.

Is Calvert-Lewin doing another fashion shoot?

We should have started at £-10m

Well that hasn't helped at all.

The main German tabloid is raging about them being cheated in another Wembley scandal. Which is nice.

Hello from the Formula E. We found a very cheap ticket offer so thought why not.

Erm...
