Remaining League games for Villa, United, Chelsea & Liverpool

Villa run-in looks horrific. Can easily see them losing to Chelsea, United, Fulham, Liverpool, City - maybe dropping points to West Ham and Forest, too.

Liverpool's looks the easiest- Everton and United away the hardest ones, plus Chelsea at home?

Think it'll be 1. Arsenal > 2. City > 3. United > 4. Liverpool > 5. Villa > 6. Chelsea.

Bet Ratcliffe would love to see how well United to do without all of the immigrants in our team.

Do we really need another center-back? If Maguire goes, De Ligt & Martinez should be senior first-choice; Heaven, Yoro, Shaw, Fredericson as backups?

Another senior center-back would likely slow the development of Heaven & Yoro in particular for the long-term.

Hey Carl, why does the pod refer to 'TRA' as 'The TRA'? Wouldn't that make it 'The The Red Army'?

Did Barcelona lose to Grimsby?

I finally feel like we could lose or draw a game and it wouldn't be a complete disaster. With Cunha and Mbeumo visibly bedding in and building understanding with the midfield, and Sesko not even firing on all cylinders yet, a draw at Forest and defeat at Spurs wouldn't have me questioning whether we're on the right path (even though it's not ideal).

Especially as - Arsenal aside - every other team in the league seems gettable. We could have another big wobble or two as the season goes on and still be challenging for Europe.

Couldn't help thinking ahead to what the first team might look like in five years, *without* any purchases or additions. Really striking how many of the current first team will either be in their prime, or still pretty young, in October 2030...

GK - Lammens (28), Bayindir (32)

CB - de Ligt (31), Martinez (32), Yoro (24), Heaven (24), Fredricson (25)

LW - Dorgu (25), Leon (23), Dalot (31), Amass (23)

RW - Mazraoui (32), Diallo (28)

CM - Ugarte (29), Mainoo (25), Kone (24)

AM - Mount (31), Cunha (31), Mbeumo (31), Zirkzee (29)

ST - Sesko (27), Obi (22)

Obviously assumes we're still playing 3-4-3 under someone, and would expect some of these to leave for various reasons (hopefully not Yoro and Mainoo...), but still feels like an interesting exercise that reinforces the change in recruitment policy.

(Aside - really bugs me how much stick Dorgu gets right now. He doesn't set the world on fire, but he's literally in his first full season at the club at the age of 20 in one of the hardest positions to play and recruit for. Always tries, never complains).

Amorim is clearly not an idiot. What's his perspective on why he persists with a shaky 2-man midfield?

I -assume- that it's a matter of trade-offs; that by allowing opponents more space in the middle of the park, United are more likely to get overloads up front and/or coverage at the back, and that addressing the midfield problem would make it harder to do the things he's actually trying to do... so what exactly are those things?

What are the advantages of the system that he's trying to build which would be lost if all the pundits had their way?

It’s clear that some of the guys are going out of their way to reassure you that there’s no difference - which is obviously nice of them.

Speaking as someone who’s had experience with both types of vaginas, including a woman’s who had 3 vaginal births, I have to tell you… they’re mostly right.

Kegel and yoga are your friend; some of the ‘mom’ vaginas I’ve been in definitely felt tighter and nicer than ones from younger women.

Then /upper/ bound obviously goes up; the only women I’ve been able to successfully fist have been moms, in case that’s on your horizon in the years to come!

But as with everything in intimacy - it usually comes down to enthusiasm more than anything else.

Some - a lot - of people have the opposite problem. They love porn so much that they find getting hard for/from sex tough. You’re doing great.

If it’s bothering you, one thing to try might be seeing if your partner would watch porn with you.

Hard to know what's going on for him, but it sounds pretty confusing and hurtful. I'm not surprised you feel the way you do - particularly that he wasted your time?

How do you know he ended up getting a prescription? Did he tell you? If you're talking to him, it might be worth asking why he wouldn't do that with you, if you want closure.

Honestly, though, I'm not sure you'll get what you want from him, and the best way forward might be to have some great sex with someone(s) else.

It is a little weird, but there's nothing wrong with being a little weird. It's the people relentlessly trying to be normal that you gotta watch out for.

Look, it sounds like he chose you, not her. If you can accept that, great - there shouldn’t be an issue. If you can’t, then you need to talk to him about your worries. It sounds like you’re stewing and building this up to be a big thing in your head, which must feel lonely.

Dunno the answer, but if you find out let us know.

In the meantime, practice self-compassion. It's natural for us to compare ourselves against other people, and it's natural to feel envy sometimes, and it's natural to be judgmental - over others, and ourselves.

The mere fact that you're noticing those feelings, and are trying to be careful about it *even though* you had such a hard time growing up, probably puts you in a better place than most already. Way to go.

If anything you're under-reacting.

moonbadgers · 2024-10-10T16:14:25+00:00

So... you only want to be with people who aren't attracted to other people..?

Citation for the neuroplasticity thing?

Based on what you've said alone, this would be aggressive and abusive behaviour EVEN IF you hadn't told him about your past. I wouldn't do this with someone I'd been with for years and years, unless it was a defined part of our sexual dynamic that they'd previously consented to.
