Fuck me, I just saw us do some football there lads.

He keeps doing the first thing brilliantly and then fucking up the next. His passing has been shocking

Should’ve brought Tino on when Miggy went off. Ritchie is going to give us nothing

Why?! So fucking stupid!

We won the ball three times in that move and gave it back to them each time! Fucking useless defending!

It's not just a potential leg breaker, its a potential career ender. Coming in from that height, with that velocity is going to shatter someone's leg, not just snap it. It's a sickening challenge. I can't believe more hasn't been made of it tbh

I'm not sure it's worse than "cum on you Spurs" or even "when the Spurs go marching in" but it is wank. Typically generic London shite

We look so much more balanced with a proper mobile fullback on both sides.

This is class! Winner!

Wolves’ assistant manager looks like a fat Eddie Howe!

We’re gonna lose this game if we don’t wake up

Irreplaceable! Gonna be devastated when he retires. What a player!

Cole Palmer is the one player this summer that I think We were daft not to sign. He’s got so much class and composure on the ball, plays wide or number 10 and he’s the perfect age. Surprised we weren’t in for him

We have aspirations of winning the PL and the CL. Currently teams in the running for those trophies are likely to be: Man City Arsenal Liverpool Real Madrid Does Sean Longstaff get anywhere near the midfield of any of those teams? That’s all people are saying. No one is writing him off as being shit, but for where we want to get to, he isn’t good enough.

Name the top 10 European football clubs! 3 in England 2 in spain 2 in Italy 1 in france 2 in Germany probably! Dortmund will get into most people’s top 10

Ultimately we were playing against one of the top 10 club sides in the world and we saw why he will likely be replaced by us in the next year so. Like everyone who loves the club, I love him to bits but his deficiencies stood out a mile tonight. He’s comfortably Premier League quality but he’ll never be Champions League quality.

Thanks for being so grown up

I completely understand how chemicals affect brain function. Ok, let’s use your argument - depression, anxiety, bipolar - all mental health illnesses where the sufferer has no element of choice, all centre around brain chemical delivery and disfunction. Addiction is the only so called ‘illness’ where there is an element of choice so I think it’s insulting to people with other contracted or inherited diseases when that comparison is made.

I’m alright with that. Medical associations also feel the best course of action for people with anxiety is to dish out antidepressants like they’re sweets. I don’t agree with that either. I also disagree with a lot of their views on Covid treatment.

I believe it’s a disorder and addictive personality is a character trait. I don’t believe it’s an Illness. How do you think a death bed cancer patient would feel about what they are going through being aligned with gambling or drug addiction? Whether you like it or not, there is an element of choice in what addicts do, no matter how small it is. The same doesn’t apply to any other ‘illness’ you can contract.

How do most people get rid of addictions? Through willpower and lifestyle changes, including therapy. Can you do that with cancer, parkinsons, MD etc? That’s why I hate the labelling! Your reading of my original post was me saying ‘they should just stop doing it and use some willpower’. Read it again, that’s not what I said. Lifestyle changes includes moving away from temptation, changing routines, losing friends etc. That’s arguably more important, but willpower is a huge part of overcoming addiction.

I’m well aware of the impact addiction can have on families, first hand. I have literally lived it. So yeah, it all makes sense and it definitely doesn’t change my opinion. If anything it strengthens it

Check out gambling disorder. This is a label for addiction that is starting to grow in popularity and I think it’s more appropriate. Fuck me, anyone would think I said all addicts should be shot. I’m happy to take any criticism on the chin for what seems to be an unpopular and controversial opinion but you guys need to calm down a bit. I’m not the only person on the planet who doesn’t agree that addictions are an illness/disease.

What the fuck are you talking about?! I’m not stigmatising anything. Read my original post - I have sympathy for people with addiction. We have experienced it in my family and I have had friends who have battled problems. But I don’t agree with the labelling of it. There’s no criticism of people with addiction at all. It’s literally just the labelling of it I don’t agree with.

Are there drugs for addiction?
