The Fish

Worried there'd be confusion, what with you being called Tex Thepiss

He's not complained about headaches or blurred vision or anything as of yet. Doesn't mean he hasn't had them mind. To be honest, Dad's not on much of anything as far as I know. Just iron tablets, but that's just a new thing, pretty mild and Doctor says that could be manageable by increasing the iron in his diet. Fatigue might not be a bad thing, he's somehow become busier since he retired, so if he's forced to slow down a bit it might help. Cheers for this I appreciate it, I'm honestly relieved to know now what it is. Or at least have a good idea of what it is. If medication means he'll not have seizures but he'll have some side-effects, it's a small price to pay. And thanks to the others too.

You just wouldn't let it lie

I chose Phuket because your boy Rayvin is an anime fan and from that I took a preference for ladies from the far east, Thailand is a renowned destination for sex-holidays, not just ladyboys. In short, there's nowt wrong with my joke, so stfu.

Other Neurological symptoms is tricky. Partly because I don't see him often, so it's hard to have a baseline. Plus, he's 76 so while his memory is a bit shaky, it's never been great and is he forgetting because of his age or because of something else? I mean, he's not forgetting anything important. When you say not very nice, what are we talking about?

Last year my Dad had a couple of falls. Doctors were at a loss as to the cause and he was comparatively fit and healthy so aside from doing tests and scans were happy for him to carry on as normal. He had a seizure this morning, got whisked off to hospital in the ambulance, had another seizure while waiting to be seen. Thankfully because he was surrounded by medical professionals they were able to immediately diagnose it as an epileptic fit. So, 76yr old, never had a problem before, now he can't drive, he'll miss out on this amazing holiday (for the time being at least) and will have to deal with whatever treatments/medications he'll need to manage this. Anyone know anything about epilepsy? Can it suddenly appear, or has he always had it? Is it exacerbated by having an heroic son?

Like your dream weekend in Phuket, someone's got you pegged.

Pretty sure they impose that kind of restriction on wage increase (10% rise a year), but may be wrong.

Aye Wood was a make do, rather than a make waves signing. Thing with Edwards' piece that seems be overlooked is that this is the projection as things stand. IF we were to announce a shirt sponsor for £10m a year, plus a sleeve sponsor for £2m, an official airline partner, training ground sponsor, academy sponsor and so on. We could dramatically widen the FFP wiggle room and spend more than the suggested £60m. Plus funds raised by player sales, as there's surely only a handful of players that are definitely staying around. Bruno, Burn, Trippier... ASM, Joelinton?

You claiming you are definitely in the "agree to disagree and walk away" camp.

Fucking made me spit my tea out.

Any bigger and Putin would want to invade it.

Ooooooh, look at me, I'm Rayvin and I understand EeeeEeeeverybody's point of view. Pathetic. Pick a side, you pervert.

That's the thing though, it's not binary. You can have an opinion that's backed up with stats, or the opposing opinion backed up with different stats. It doesn't boil the conversation down to numbers. Stats aren't going to replace opinion. When I argued with essembee about Joelinton's laziness, I could lay out my case and subsequently back it up with irrefutable proof. I could have eventually worn him down with non-stat arguments, but stats hastened the conclusion. When pundits said Bruce was as good as Benitez, that the team was playing the same way and paradoxically playing more attacking football, did it not wind you up? When stats were able to prove that, in fact Bruce's football was terrible in almost every measure, did you not feel vindicated? That your own analysis was supported by other people?

How else can we work out which Cambridge Tory cunt will run the country? Ohhh, I see your point.

So instead you rely on gut. Without any evidence beyond that to back up your position? Seems, I dunno, a bit Brexity.

We were unlucky No we weren't A real Algonquin round table discussion there.

puhfetick

It shows that that 1-0 loss wasn't a sign of being worse than Everton, just that we were unlucky to lose that game. Which we were. It means that when some gobshite says "Wuh ganning doon!, Wuh cannit even beat Everton man!" You can cough a little ahem, adjust your monocle and explain over your copy of the FT just how fucking wrong and stupid that person is.

I never pull out.

Gloom flip-flops more than an actual flip-flop. Bed-wetter brigade ->Team Right Luddite -> Team Right Those stats do show where Joelinton can improve his game though; specifically ball retention and link up play. Both are metrics that should improve the more he plays alongside Bruno.

It's a marathon, not a sprint.

Fucked off downstairs more like. I went into the office for the first time in a year last week, and that was to have a 15 minute face to face meeting about how they're moving the office to a different building a minute down the road. "How is will this office-move impact your commute?"

Take your stall down the road mate, I'm not buying what you're selling.

this has been terrifically helpful.
