Of course it will be because Mrs Momo is away for the weekend and I’m in charge of the bin lids. Which means I can’t go mental. So to make up for it I’ll get a belter bottle of red and savour it,
Yep, that’ll knock em out for the day..
I knew we'd gain points on them yesterday. I knew we'd win and I knew they'd draw. I'm not some soothsayer, I thought we'd win 4-1, and that's what I put money on... because I still haven't quite got my head around how we manage games now. But either way I'm certain that we've won the league.
Bubbles would be more appropriate.
Funnily enough, I know a way you can kill 2 birds with one stone and have bubbles AND red at the same time!!!!!
I had two bets on yesterday:
1. Arse draw + we win 4-0
2. Arse draw + LFC win + ManUre draw
Close, but no cigars
Well the celebrations didn't feel like celebrations did they - stupid fucking virus made it feel less - no matter how you disguise it - it felt unreal but the emotions were not reallly let out in the way many of us wanted.
Anyway - that said - I formally accept the "nomination" for the PL title for LFC.
Happy now ?
I backed us to win 3-0 or 4-0 and Arsenal 0-0 (two doubles) as well! Almost…
Those Arsenal odds are not generous. You'd want a good 70 or 80/1.
Nervy cunts should stick a grand on Arsenal now and happily lose their money come May
Yeah, I know... You're 100% right. And I get it.
I'm not trying to get anybody to change their mindset... I was just trying to get people to acknowledge that their utter refusal to even acknowledge that it was unlikely that we lose it from here - though possible, of course - was unreasonable. It was said, to begin it all, that people who think like that are just being reasonable. Well, though I'm sure that they are in real life, on this particular topic (which is all that I'm talking about), they're absolutely not, if they still EXPECT us to lose from here, rather than simply fear the possibility.
EVERYTHING is pointing to us winning it, and has been for quite a while now. Though a collapse is possible, it's highly unlikely, and that's all I was hoping to hear - Something like you've just done... An acknowledgement that such thoughts are NOT based on anything but an irrational fear. Oh, and then came the '11 points is fuck all' line, too, of course.
Anyway, I'm done. It's not worth the heartburn. I just wish more good fans like yourself, Moron and others could actually enjoy the ride, especially now as it's becoming a victory lap, three months out.
I'm coming around. It's also got fuck all to do with the football in all likelihood. In some ways it's just a litmus test, showing that ruminations that are negative and anxious are irrational.
It's not really the best political environment to defuse that sort of thinking. Every other day there's no one at my kids bus stop because of justifiable paranoia about ice raids.
We are JJ's old faithful, that lucky t-shirt, the pre-match ritual, the inability to watch when a penalty is taken...
IF we do win it - which is by no means guaranteed and a collapse is lurking just around the corner - just know that your enjoyment was built off the back of our suffering.
Oh, I have shared that suffering, too, my friend... I couldn't enjoy a second of the 2020 campaign until it the cheats lost at the bridge, even though it was over in December. I was even at the Bournemouth match, and spent every second of the game fearing the shock home defeat, and then waiting for the late equalizer that would surely herald the biggest collapse in the history of sports. I have been where you are, mo chara.
But, honestly, then I saw the Jurgen interview where he basically said 'It's not the hope that kills you, it's the hope that keeps you coming back', (though not quite as Ted Lasso-y as that, of course), and from that point on, I've been trying to enjoy the present and let the future be what it may be.
I'm no longer afraid to enjoy leading the race, for fear of losing it... I'll be devastated if we lose, whether I'm happy or not right now - May as well enjoy the ride while it's fun.
And, with those few words, my work here is done... So long, folks - I'll be back when you need me next. YNWA.
Don't be a stranger, mo chara.
I’m already thinking about sorting Kelly’s Dirty Slots drinkies.
This is the thing. I'm thinking that everything will turn to shit. I'm also thinking what about bringing my kid to a parade. Last time I had the entire thing booked and there was a pandemic. When I see that written, I think some pessismism is excusable.
June 1st. Day after we win big ears.
What happened to those fucking splitters? What were they called?
Dumbledore’s army?
That was Oncy's original and ultimately doomed cadre. This was one with Briz.
After research it was Kelly's Heroes vs The Dirty Slots that apparently merged into Kelly's Dirty Slots. There's 3 minutes of my life I'm not getting back.
Add that up over your whole time here and you’ll probably weep.
