Definitely gotta be nailed on for "most tagged poster 2024" on the yearly awards like with all these requests

Collab'...I like it. Only if they get me one of those bastard hoodies everyone but me seems to have.

I respectfully disagree. Gallowgate middle tier is arguably the worst for take up.

My God international weeks are tedious as fuck.

One of the lads suggested this years ago as it happens. We didn't do it because we thought there'd be like 5% take up

Pepe out

Oh maaaaaan I really....really...REALLY...wanted to be that guy but decided not to be antagonistic and now I am so...soooooo...jealous I am not that guy.

Presumably, you're not aiming this at me?

Same game as the SRtRC

How old does the spreadsheet need to be before its data can be legally manipulated?

And I like it... ...I like it... ...I li-li-like it...

Absolutely mint this What a lad.

Important to remember Forest are in fine form and it'll be a really difficult game too. If we were to win today, we'd be level on points with Villa and Chelsea/Arsenal depending on the outcome of their game. Only a point behind both of the latter, Brighton and Forest. In short - we'd be right amongst it. I think Liverpool may just run away with 1st and Man City with 2nd this year respectively. The rest is wide open.

<3 That Arteta rant too. I actually think he might hate us you know

That game wounded Arsenal so bad like. Remember that Amazon(?)/Prime(?) documentary about Arsenal and someone says to Saka I think it was "Ah Newcastle away up next" or something along those lines and Saka correctly says something like "That won't be easy" to dismiss it. When they walked out they shit their pants. Was a new dawn that day. The message in retrospect was clear "Don't fuck with us." St James' Park is literally a fortress again under Eddie Howe and I fucking love it.

Thing with Leeds is it's a hostile environment even though there's no real animosity between the clubs. So winning there - perhaps against the odds - int eh fashion we did would be amazing. My best mate was there and said it was class. Just love a bouncing away end. Particularly in old stadium with corrugated iron. Sadly it wasn't under Howe but reminds me of Grimsby in the cup when Shearer got elbowed. When we scored there was bodies everywhere and spilling onto the pitch.

That was smart. Not stupid. It was also cheating.

Cheers mate! And apologies for the rough read - everyone! But thank you all for the kind comments and sharing of experiences.

Cheers - I have to be as I am a passionate and emotive guy - otherwise I'd self destruct. Just don't want to be a misery either mind

Both of our managers and workplaces have been phenomenal throughout to be honest. We will be heading back to work when the time is right but ultimately aiming towards the back end of November. So we will see if any of that changes then. Makes me absolutely sick to think that you got a warning for attendance in those circumstances. I promised my boys, wherever possible I'd do positive things in their name and so if speaking about it or doing something to help other families is a good method of doing so I will look to do that amongst other things. Where we go from here is yet to be discussed and decided but as you say - one of the few positives from all of this as it has brought my wife and I closer together than before and we are sticking together through it all, especially on those darker days. Don't want to sound to preachy or anything but I am so glad to hear that your approach was similar to ours in that, in the darkness you have tried to find (and have succeeded) in making light.

Cheers!

If this was at the RVI then my wife and I very likely benefited from this. Don't underestimate the importance of that- ever. At 17 weeks there were concerns my wife's waters had broken and we were on a ward with women who were all 36 weeks (or so) pregnant listening to their babies heartbeats and talking about due dates. They too obviously had problems but nothing like what we were facing at that moment in time. There were several other issues and we made a complaint which ended up going to the matron. Just a bit of.lack of thought and tbh - probably a lack of funding/facilities which we very considerate or in our criticisms. Less so with other concerns. On the ICU once the bairns were born 6 weeks later they moved all the bairns around in their incubators to have just our two boys in when Nicolò passed away. They then moved him to a quiet room or "bereavement suite" whilst they cared for Matteo. As horrible and sad as it was, it was extremely well thought out and considerations I hadn't even made were being offered to us (about Nicolòs space in the bay being taken, for example). But the bereavement suite offered us a chance to get away from the beeps and buzzes and sit with our boy(s) once they passed. We now have a room at home which has taken just some of those ideas (so to not dwell on it too much) but to offer us peace and comfort and a safe space to grieve. Excellent work mate.

Cheers mate!
