    Funny how we see things differently. I watched City and thought 'calm assuredness'. I don't get that with Arsenal. Almost blew a 3-0 lead.

    Everyone is looking at their game away at at the theatre of dweebs as their key match. I think there's a fair chance that their next home game might be the banana skin.

    I see exactly the same.

    I've been guilty of it in the past.

    Its easy to confuse entertaining football with actual ability and technique.

    City weren't at their best but just looked like they were never going to lose. They know how to kill a game. 

    ....the Spurs game was ace and entertaining but highlighted massive frailties in both teams.

    City don't have them frailties.

    Agreed those draws (Shrewsbury, Exeter, Northampton, Charlton, Stevenage) cost us - just as the dodgy results pre-Christmas cost us (Reading, Wigan, Carlisle, Bristol, Burton).  It was only on track if we matched the results, but it was a big ask when the fixtures got harder.   I'm not playing down how well we did in the first half, but the only properly tough aways (on paper) were Oxford and Pompey.  2nd half of season included aways at Orient, Blackpool, Wigan, Barnsley, Derby, Stevenage, Peterboro.  If we'd played those games in the 1st half of the season I'd expect us to be saying we improved and just came up short.

    I wonder why the 2nd half of the season was way worse than the 1st?

    We can't use that as an excuse though :)

    it does, for me seeing the aftermath of someone suddenly going shook me out of any thoughts.

    It was always a case of the head telling me to do it, and me fighting off the thoughts, I'm assuming others have the same issue lose the battle :(

    That said, I feel having previous issues really readied me for the events of the last year and dealing with the fall out from that. 

    Not had em for a while but the suicidal thoughts for me were like a relief.

    I was never wandering about thinking I hate myself and want it all to end.

    It was like a way out from my cluttered, anxious mind. The thought of just swimming out to sea and not stopping or whatever became like an addictive thought, I'd go to sleep thinking of it because it made me relax, there was an end in sight kind of thing.

    Then I'd go in a mad spiral of hating myself for thinking that way when I've got a beautiful family and everything is sound.

    The mind is bonkers isn't it :D

    Fuck me, some of the negativity on here is nothing short of embarrassing.

    We ALL know the likelihood of us being promoted today is virtually zero ... But there IS a chance.

    ... But we have folk stating as if it's a fact that it won't happen. Almost as if they don't want it.

    Miserable cunts.

    Right. A very close friend of mine has been diagnosed with clinical depression this week. Apparently it's been quiet a few years in the making. It has come as a shock to me that I didn't see it. It's a possibility that my blindness to it was my fault. Anyway, it seems meds and counseling are the next steps for them. I won't lie I'm a bit ignorant on the subject. I'm definitely going to have to Google up on the subject. 

    It's not your fault pal, some are great at hiding it. 

    You just need to remember it's just like any other illness and mostly boils down to chemicals. Just like if your friends body didn't have enough white blood cells or too much sugar in the blood.

    From faulty mood regulators to depleted serotonin stocks, dopamine running on fumes or receptors out of action, the brain and its components are just like any other part of the body. If a bits not working as it should be we are in trouble.

    The task is now to get your friends components working correctly. Lifestyle, meds, therapy etc. 

    Looks like they've made the first step and that's the biggest step of all.

    You just hang in there, they'll probably just want you to be you. They might not want their pal all of sudden changing and fannying round them... or they might.

    Glad they are getting help and remember it's nobodies fault. Brains are fucked up.

    It is but do you trust him? He is not a stable character.

    I trust him over Biden and our way of just pouring Billions down the drain for something that will never happen.

    Get Trump in, make Russia agree too keeping what they have and we can all just crack on.

    Blackpool printed ticket arrangements for Wembley in their match day programme when they played Bradford in the 2nd leg, 1995. They were 2-0 from the first.

    Chris Kamara pinned it up in dressing room to gee the players up. 

    They beat Blackpool 3-0 and got Big Sam the sack.

    Eric Nixon had a calamitous night then signed for Bradford the same summer.

    I'm sure he's learned his lesson. And whoever brought him up thinking it's ok to speak to a referee like that can get to fuck too. Bet you're one of those who thinks "youngsters don't show enough respect these days".

    Weren't like that in my day.
