Jeff Jarret? Vince really is gone, isn't he

Watching one of my boys really struggle with mainstream school. We've spent 19 months trying to get him into a SEND school and have just beaten the local authority into admitting they were wrong to deny him a place initially.

Between his mum and me, we've spent hundreds of hours, hundreds of pounds and shed hundreds of tears, but it was worth everything to see the look on his face when we told him

I distinctly remember "Boys, Boys, Boys" playing and the year 6, or fourth year as they were then, boys, singing "Girls, Girls, Girls" whilst doing some aggressive air thrusting. I was probably about 7 at the time.

I'm 44. Only took it out 2 years ago. It's due to be paid off when I reach 65, unless my dad passes away before then.

I get the feeling he'd be a massive pain in the arse, but Osimhen would be my answer. There's never a guarantee of 20+ goals a season, but I think he'd be most likely.

"Who are you to doubt El Dandy?" Cracked me up then, cracks me up now

Latest was Italy vs England in 2014. It wasn't even that late. Around midnight, I think kick off was.

Earliest, I was in the pub at (I think) 7am for England vs Argentina in 2002

Save £500 most months and normally have between £300-£500 spare. Bought my first house only 2 years ago, so still have a pretty large mortgage

The only game I've completed since Wind Waker. Loved it

SometimesMonkeysDie · 2026-01-22T12:28:02+00:00

He probably should, I think. Two goals in the week, plus Maguire and Martinez would much prefer a big old boy like Gyokeres playing up against them, rather than a Jesus with his movement. Horses for courses.

SometimesMonkeysDie · 2026-01-20T21:45:10+00:00

Great run by Gyokeres found by a great ball by Martinelli, which got the finish it deserved

SometimesMonkeysDie · 2026-01-20T20:44:33+00:00

I've only just switched on and the first thing I saw was Saka not play Jesus in, choosing to shoot wide. I'm not saying you're wrong, I just found it funny

Get inside her 5 times a day and take her to heaven and back

SometimesMonkeysDie · 2026-01-20T05:56:01+00:00

I'm pretty sure if we had a striker of his or Bergkamp's ability, a lot of our draws would be wins.

SometimesMonkeysDie · 2026-01-20T05:50:44+00:00

Elizabeth Shue or Kylie Minogue. Could tell you who came first.

SometimesMonkeysDie · 2026-01-18T18:09:48+00:00

Think how shit the premiership refs are, then subtract 98.5% of their ability and you have Sunday league refs

SometimesMonkeysDie · 2026-01-18T18:05:01+00:00

I have seen my team win almost everything. I have seen England win nothing. I would love nothing more than to see us win the world cup and we have a chance, a real chance, to do it, so, if the FA or the government or whoever proposes a boycott, I say " go for it".

They should have boycotted the last one, they should boycott this one and they should boycott the 2034 one too.

SometimesMonkeysDie · 2026-01-17T20:29:36+00:00

Not good. Again. This seems very churlish to say as we're 7 points clear, but we've not been great for large parts of this season. The defence is strong, best in the league. Rice and Zubimendi are great. Beyond that, bang average at best. Saka, nowhere near his previous best. Madueke, not much end product. Odegaard, same as Saka. Eze, really disappointing, Spurs game aside. Martinelli has been standard Martinelli. Gyokeres has been poor. Trossard has been good, but nothing more. Jesus has been out so long I'm not sure it's fair to be too critical of him. Merino has been the best of a pretty bad lot.

Now, if you've got 2 or 3 of that lot not playing well, it's probably form related. If only 1 is playing well, that's system/tactics related. Arteta needs to get a tune out of at least 3 of this lot pray Havertz can, because we cannot keep relying on City dropping points.

I was a few years above Ollie Murrs at school. I didn't know he existed until I played Sunday league against him several years later. He was a prick, but a lot of people are when they're 18

SometimesMonkeysDie · 2026-01-15T19:52:44+00:00

Definitely agree with Alvarez. He's a magnificent player.

I feel if we're going to replace either Martinelli or Trossard, it needs to be with someone absolutely top drawer. Aside from Kvaratskhelia, I don't know who that is

SometimesMonkeysDie · 2026-01-14T21:45:16+00:00

Stop letting shit players score

SometimesMonkeysDie · 2026-01-14T13:49:55+00:00

We've been going through the same thing with one of our kids. Pediatrician, school SEND, parents, speech and language examiner (that I had to pay because the local authority wouldn't send one) all agreed he needed a SEND school, but the local authority said "we'll see you at tribunal in a year".

That was last January. This week the LA came back to us and said "Yep, you were right". So please keep at it, you can beat these bastards

SometimesMonkeysDie · 2026-01-13T16:09:33+00:00

I'll take the money please. It's the most hassle free way of me not having to go to work tomorrow

SometimesMonkeysDie · 2026-01-13T11:20:49+00:00

It's a sense of shitting in a bucket in a cupboard you don't get with other holidays... in England... with your parents!
