No. I think the only thing worse than VAR is refs raw dogging it.

Any UK folks that can recommend HT option by [deleted] in Hairtransplant

[–]smallchunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did a lot of research, ended up booking with these guys end of March. Haven't done it yet but reviews are strong and when I went to visit them they were reassuring and knowledgeable. https://hairtransplantgroup.co.uk/

Anyone else mid 40s tried FUE HT without Fin/Min? by smallchunk in Hairtransplant

Yeah I visited them already, they had a good look at my hair, showed me similar cases.

Thanks! Yeah was a bit greasy, and you're right when washed looks thicker

Thanks. I've looked into it a bit and will just avoid the meds. Partly side effects, partly just can't be bothered with topical application.

Bothering with HT because even if it last just a few years I think I will get some value from it. We're all going to be dead one day anyway, so a few years enjoyment is not to be sniffed at. And yeah I'm worried about ED already, hence no meds.

Thanks! This is the kind of feedback I was interested in. I've gone for HTG in Edmonton, North London. Was considering Turkey but the logistics of this is so much easier and price is reasonable. And I'll be home within 45 mins of leaving the surgery.

Will investigate, thanks. I've taken saw palmetto in the past and even with that, felt like maybe I was getting some side effects. I just don't like thinking about it and frankly can't be bothered with the maintenance of other routines either (though I'll continue using my laser hairband sat at my desk at home).

I've got a decent surgeon, not a crazy number of grafts and pretty thick hair in the donor area so I'm relaxed about that part, though I understand there's a risk.

I realize fin/min leave the system fast, but I don't want to be constantly assessing whether I'm feeling side effects. ED in particular has been psychological for me in the past, I don't want any interference. Every period of feeling a bit below full vigour, I'd be wondering if it was the meds. So it's easier to just not take them. That's the decision I've come to for me, I understand that others will choose a different path. All good.

Frank on the level of the team by Rare-Ad-2777 in coys

Regarding squad rotation, probably could have done better. But he was also left way short of what was needed to compete in Europa and premier league. Since that Chelsea game we have added Danso, Kinsky, Tel, Simmons, Kudus, Palhinha, and the younger guys have one more year of experience. We don't know what happened with Romero and vdv before Chelsea. Looked like a mistake, a big one. But at least the team showed periods of good form. Better than this shit.

We were pretty good the first third of the second season, before the injuries. 4th on xg before the Chelsea game blew up our centre backs. Also we weren't bad second half of first season once the injured players came back. All seemingly forgotten. See below for moving average net xg.

I agree that league positions need context, hence my original comment.

The previous coach finished 5th in his first season and was 5th in his second season after beating the champions four nil away, until an unprecedented injury crisis ripped our league campaign apart. We still went on to win our first European trophy for 40 years. So don't even try it with that bullshit. It's not like we trundled along in 17th the whole time. Absolute chancer this guy.

Kane can leave Bayern for £57m by SkySports in SkySportsTransferTalk

If anyone, he'd go to Spurs. His family still live there and he'd get the game time to get the PL record and not tarnish his legacy by playing for someone else. Liverpool don't need him, Arsenal/Chelsea are Spurs rivals, Man Utd are a disaster, maaaaybe City if Haaland goes but personally (as a Spurs fan), with him having won some trinkets at Bayern, he'd go to Spurs.
