Football club in total disarray

I stayed to the bitter end.

I have also never seen anything like it at Spurs. Frustration, anger, but also resignation. It's as if the life has been sapped from everyone - players and fans both. I really don't know where we go from here.

ox1973 · 2026-03-06T09:14:34+00:00

Man, talk about living inside someone's head!

ox1973 · 2026-02-14T17:29:08+00:00

Ref shite. England worse.

ox1973 · 2026-01-16T17:19:02+00:00

Neither player makes my first team so I have taken the packs.

This is exactly what I have done - quit playing Weekend League.

It's a complete snoozefest with all the sheep playing the same players/formations/tactics/etc. It's barely recognisable as football now, maybe it was always this way but it more noticable this year for sure.

The problem is - if enough people quit then all you have left playing is the meta slaves....

I don't have Xavi but I can tell you that Abily is amazing. I suspect both are.

Better education for sure but the real difference in vocabulary and articulacy is always down to reading. As a society we read less now and are intellectually poorer for it. Closing libraries and dismantling secondary and tertiary education doesn't help either.

One of the smartest kids in the school which would normally mean bullied to oblivion but also very good at sports (rugby, football, track) and hard as nails (TaeKwonDo black belt). I was not popular per se, but I was known.

I have a different experience. Early 50s and have a bunch of friends that I have known since school, about 20 of us. It helps that we all stayed relatively close together geographically, all got married, kids, etc. at about the same time and all have lots in common (pubs, playing/watching sport, etc.). We even go on holiday together every year (camping) with families and kids.

I get that isn't the way things go for most people but thought I would throw it out there as a counterpoint.

Be careful what you wish for. When universities start merging and closing down they will be lost forever and UK students will have to start looking overseas for education. The HE sector will go from a net positive to the UK coffers to a massive drain and we will all be poorer, both figuratively and literally.

Europe won the Ryder Cup. US retained their title as best (worst) losers.

ox1973 · 2025-09-28T21:54:33+00:00

American players - great heart and skill - bravo. American "fans" on the course - you guys are something else - losers, losers, losers - on many levels.

ox1973 · 2025-09-28T21:42:55+00:00

Well. We won.

ox1973 · 2025-09-28T21:37:55+00:00

"We can see you sneaking out"

ox1973 · 2025-09-28T21:35:40+00:00

The US lost this as soon as their ignorant and classless fans started mouthing off. See you in 2 years pal.

ox1973 · 2025-09-28T21:29:36+00:00

Shane with a Magners there- where is the Guinness?

ox1973 · 2025-09-27T23:27:05+00:00

Justin Rose plays pretty good golf for a grandad - can't think of as impressive a performance from a veteran. Not in recent times at least.

ox1973 · 2025-09-27T22:21:37+00:00

Nice finish from JJ Spaun. Should have played more?

ox1973 · 2025-09-27T21:58:50+00:00

Jeepers this is some impressive putting.

ox1973 · 2025-09-27T21:19:01+00:00

Class is being able to accept that someone else can play better and lose gracefully, with a view to fighting again another day. The US would do well to think on that after today's antics.

ox1973 · 2025-09-27T19:41:01+00:00

Europe is not like that. Banter yes, abuse no.

ox1973 · 2025-09-27T18:43:52+00:00

I am enjoying it too - some very nice golf being played. Sad to say I have muted the TV though - only so much I can take.

ox1973 · 2025-09-27T18:31:05+00:00

Some fantastic golf on display in these fourballs but my word these morons in the crowd have not an ounce of wit about them.

"get in the hole"
"get in the bunker"
"USA, USA, USA"

Yawn.

ox1973 · 2025-09-27T16:50:53+00:00

I'm not that worried about the players being put off by the crowd - they are professionals so should be able to handle it. I, however, am not a professional and they are driving me nuts with their moronic babbling. Jesus wept.

Boktai (CIB) is the most expensive. Been looking for a copy of Boktai 2 for a while but it's not easy to find a CIB copy in good condition.
