One thing I'm (hopefully) looking forward to next season is 'TheOther14' bollocks will be giving us a wide berth.

That's too perfect to be something we'd go with. Brilliant design if it did prove to be correct though.

You don't have to look any further than Steven Gerrard to see how success in the Scottish League translates to the Premier League. Spurs truly are a recurring disaster. The one time one of their bizarre appointments does pay off in Pochettino, they sack him less than 5 months after he led them to a CL final. -

Those of you who have watched Ted Lasso will be aware they absolutely ripped this piss out of him in season 3 for stuff just like this -
Went to see Tom Odell in Basingstoke last night. Pretty fucking brilliant

What a difference a decade makes. 10 years ago we were talked about it in a similar vein due to us both being run by sports shop magnates. Fucking hell, Ashley really did reduce the value of our stock on multiple levels. -

Here's hoping. Because Spurs have such a fabulous record when it comes to appointing ex Chelsea managers - Hoddle, Villas-Boas, Mourinho, Conte .... -
Agreed. Wasn't a fan of the 80s stuff. Nutbush City Limits and River Deep Mountain High were good. Had a bit of a soft spot for 'Simply The Best' given I still associate it with pre-match warm up at SJP.

Pope dropped; Pickford retained

Leeds & Leicester are joining Southampton in the Championship I reckon. Everton surviving by the skin of their teeth again. Forest also.

Loving .com's mugshot of him -
Southampton are definitely gone and I can't see Everton performing the great escape this time. I reckon the other one to go will be Leeds. Forest and Leicester both to escape by the skin of their teeth.

Thank you all. And this is a timely opportunity to let you know I'm coming home later this year. I'm taking part in the GNR and will be descending on the region with people from down South who are also taking part. As a result I'll be hitting the town on Friday 8th September so if you're around, and available, it'd be good to see you - especially those who I met up with some 16/17 years ago.

Thank you. It helps at times, at other times it doesn't but it's good to read kind words. I'm about to go on a hell of a rollercoaster, that's for sure but I need to else there's only one way I'm headed. Thank you again.

Not been around much. My mental health has deteriorated rapidly over the past 10 weeks in both frequency and magnitude. On Monday I contacted the Samaritans for emergency help as I considered the safety of those around me, and myself, to be at risk. I am in the process of seeking urgent professional counselling. Without going into specific details as I am aware this place is open to public viewing and therefore not what I'd consider a 'safe' environment, I was subjected to mental, phyiscal and sexual abuse as a child. This is something I've suppressed for over 30 years but is now manifesting in me being unable to contain my emotions and causes severe meltdowns and rage. Alcohol is not a trigger but it is most certainly an accelerant and I've chosen to abstain from it whilst I go through my healing process. What I wish for is to be at peace and, possibly weirdly, to be able to forgive the person that did this to me. The magnitude is so great that forgetting is just not possible so I feel forgiveness will be be my saviour.
