I like the f-word because of its versatility. Noun, verb, or adjective (with an ing) |

The Spurs game summed it up for me too, but in a different way. We started well, had a bit of pressure, but were playing a system that left Ben Godfrey isolated 1 v 1 with Son every time we lost the ball high up the pitch. Spurs just had to hang in there knowing that at some point that match-up would pay dividends. |

Still not as bad as Inter Miami qualifying purely because they have Messi! |

I suffered with it on and off for a year or so before going on allopurinol. Haven’t had an outbreak in the 2 1/2 years since. I tried diet at first but was still getting outbreaks. Doctor said current thinking is that it’s more due to metabolic issues than diet so there’s only so much you can do without resorting to drugs. |

This is true. The games when we've been more effective IMO have been the games where we've accepted our underdog status and played more defensively and/or direct (e.g. Spurs away, Chelsea home). When we've gone toe-to-toe we've had impressive spells but without a cutting edge and have usually conceded too easily on the break - fine margins usually favour the team with better players. |

That's possibly a bit harsh on KM but its true that like Kompany he hasn't adapted his approach in the way that, for example, Thomas Frank did when Brentford were promoted. There's some really good TF stuff online about how he changed their approach for the premier league which is well worth a read/watch. |

I think part of the problem is that the way we set up (when we play 4-2-3-1) leaves our right-back and/or left centre-back defending one-on-one vs an international quality winger every time we lose the ball high up the pitch. Somehow Axel manages to cope with this but nobody else has consistently managed to. |

I think he really struggled when he played in the Axel role but he's certainly not the only one to have had problems there. Much prefer him in the wingback role where he's not left defending one v one so often |

I was trying to explain Neil Gregory to my son the other day. The idea of a striker justifying his place on the bench by being a half-decent goalkeeper is so alien to modern-day football he just didn’t get it! |

It's quite touristy now, particularly the town, but not overwhelmingly so. Busy but not as busy as I expected on a weekend during peak season. The scenery is just as spectacular though! Normally places look better in the pictures than in real life but this was the other way round - no matter how hard I tried I couldn't get a photo that did it justice! |

For a short city-break that's not one of the obvious destinations I really enjoyed Ljubljana - small but cosmopolitan and very welcoming, and a day at Lake Bled which was stunning |

Got to admit I've been that sh-tty friend. I went off to uni and didn't really keep in touch with any of my old friend group. Wasn't really a reason for it. I wasn't particularly happy with my life at home and uni was a fresh start. It wasn't a conscious decision to ditch my old friends, and when i look back i feel like a total dick for it. I think it came down to not being socially and mentally capable of maintaining two sets of friend groups so I noped out of the one where I was least happy.
Nearly 30 years later and I still regret not keeping in touch, and heard one of them died last week :( |

yea, there's a lot of online rabbit holes people fall down nowadays. Virtually any post on reddit about relationships or family problems will have a ton of people suggesting going "no contact". Its pretty sad that people get caught up in it, especially when half the replies are bots nowadays anyway! |
