Good to finally see the likes of Skrtel, Johnson & Agger, starting to show their experience for us to compliment the younger players like Flanagan, Sterling, Coutinho, Henderson, Allen and Sturridge. We've got a good mix of experience and the foundations of a bright future.
Yes because my jinxy gob have stopped us in the last 10 games 😉Hmm..i used to be like Fark but i've since come to realize that football isn't like what Shanks would say, more important than life and death ?
Of course i'd be lying if the outcome of this season won't affect me. It will.
But 2 decades of rollercoasters of emotions supporting this club, have left me a little more prepared for whatever the outcome, i'd like to think.
having said all that, there's only one tiny qualm that i still have.
would dreamy shut his jinxy gob until after this season ends ?! ffs !
SHANKS WOULD NOT SAY THAT FFS! He was ripping the p!$$ out of that attitude. His true views were very, very different and his book makes that crystal clear.
Oh FFS Mark, not you as well ! I'm seeing this basic error all over the internet and it's doing my head in 😀
I'm totally fucked. Seems to be loops with me, in the car, on foot, carrying the baby. I can't keep still. Just go round and round making sure I touch the exact same spots with my feet, or drive past the exact same places. Used to be the same when I lived in the sticks, would drive a loop round the lanes getting quicker and quicker until the final whistle. I'm never as bad at the game.
I'm also not talking about football AT ALL in the office, despite being sat near a smug Arsenal fan and a Citeh fan. I honestly don't want to give it any billy big bollocks until it's over. Not mentioned the hammering we gave Arsehole FC, not mentioned Sunday or last night. They know what's coming if we win the fucking thing though.
And I would be expected to know ? I've never read his book.
All i know is that it's common, popular belief that he said that.....
- Someone said to me 'To you football is a matter of life or death!' and I said 'Listen, it's more important than that'.
- An interview on a Granada Television chat-show, hosted by Shelley Rohde on Wednesday 20th of May 1981
So please don't shoot the messenger and all that.
What are the 1964 parallels?The parallels with 1964 are much more, er, 'encouraging'.
True.
I suspect we may all end up in the looney bin at his rate!
I have now found myself deleting the entire word if I've spelt it wrong on the computer instead of just changing the missing letter or whatever.
Even found myself putting a fork back in the draw the other day because I had picked the 'wrong' fork out.
I do both of those anyway.
Is that really OCD?
Fuck.
Do you avoid cracks in the pavement too?
