My best mate is a Sunderland season ticket holder. He is worried about next season but he thinks they will just concentrate on Europe if Forest can get to the semis they can have a good run at it. With Hull and Cov in the prem they will have a very good chance of surviving.

You have seen who is in charge of us and their signings right ? He was just one of the absolute dross we have signed in the past few years.

Just a shame Spurs have Everton pretty such any other team would have beat them or at least give them a few scares.

Screenshot it stick it in chat gpt and ask it to make it into a high resolution file and print it your self

Romero for Spurs has decided to fly to Argentina to watch their cup final instead of going to the Spurs game on Sunday. Not sure i would be too impressed if my club captain did this!

He doesn't get on the pitch. Even if Kane gets injured. Odd choice think I would have taken Palmer over him.

same as Arsenal their parade is the day after the Champions League final so a lot of their fans will still be in Budapest. You think Villa would do theirs on Monday with it being a Bank Holiday.

When is the squad announced? Everyone else seems to be naming theirs, guessing it will be Monday?

Palace Arsenal now becomes the most pointless game of the day (apart from Wolves Burnley) imagine both will play the reserves

Everton have the 3rd best away form in the league. Will be no push over.

There will be so many fake goal reactions. The Everton and Leeds away ends will have some fun.... The tension at Spurs will be ridiculous.

No chance someone as famous as KSI will play..... What a world we live in 😅

Could be carnage with Tommy the dickhead and his right wingers marching tomorrow as well as the cup final.

Some pen to be fair.

Lad from Hinckley is the head of football operations at Rochdale and i used to go school with him so i will always keep an eye on their results. They deserved to go up but certainly made it hard from themselves.

filling my time with something different. My post above talks about how i needed to change my habits so now i will make sure i am booked into go to the gym or purposely book something to do with my daughter. Saturday 3 o'clock now is when we go swimming as a family - not every week but then if not it is bowling, the cinema or just going on a walk or out on our bikes. Anything but being a home where i can stream a match. i gave up my season ticket last year mainly because of the way the club is ran but the championship is brutal and work and life had to start coming first so I got rid of it - it did help that my 3 mates i went with also did the same so i didnt get that FOMO. But you know what they were an addiction but when you realise it is what it is, they were easy to drop compared to the other vices in my life! Football is a broken corporate machine and for me now is no different to watching something on Netflix. I have watched 3 Leicester games this year and 2 of them was because i was at a friends house who had it on and i havent missed it. I rarely post in the main forum as i dont really have an opinion on the game any more.

I do still drink but the levels are completely different, if i am out i have 1-2 max in a night and mix it up with soft drinks or 0%, the rise of 0% has helped me no end. I was your typical binge drinker, 5 o'clock on a Friday = pub. then it was Thursday nights, Saturday all dayers with the football then cricket through the summer. Then beers after playing football on a Sunday followed by back to the pub for the 2 and 4 o'clock games. This went on from 18-35 years old every weekend without fail. I then got badly injured which finished my football and stopped some of the boozing. a typical week i was probably doing 40 - 60 units of boozes - probably more. Covid was probably the worst for me gin and tonics, craft beers and Guinness working at home, being sent ready made cocktails in the post by my employer for after work drinks even! Then 18 months ago i received a letter inviting me for a 40 year old check up, i thought nothing of it, i was (still am) over weight, i thought i would get told everything is fine you just need to lose some weight. I was wrong. my blood test came back and I was told to go straight to A&E and get some further checks as there was concerns over my blood tests. My liver wasn't working correctly, it was extremely fatty and at risk of failure. Hearing this first hand was scary i have a 4 year old, a wife, a mortgage and needed to do something about it. i spoke to the GP and had a few sessions with a PT to understand what i could do. i was far from your typical alcoholic but i wouldn't go out anywhere without seeing what beers were on tap, what gin did they sell and i was making decisions on where to go to make sure i got that pint but that obviously turned into 5-6. So fast forward 18 months, i have now recently been back to the doctors they have re ran some tests and its improving, i have dropped some weight needs to be more but my addiction to sugar and fatty foods is another vice that i am trying to get on board with. I have started swimming on a Thursday morning i am the youngest by 30 years i would say but its a great way to just relax and take you mind off everything! but it the past 8 weeks i have gone from not being able to do 4 lengths to completing a 64 (a mile) which i am amazed by. I go to a spinning class on a Wednesday and have just completed couch to 5k - next goal is 10km so really i am just filling my boredom (where i used to just drink or eat) with exercise. This country (probably the world) is full of alcohol dependent people most dont realise it but if you were to take it away they wouldn't cope with it. The bottle of wine with dinner, the couple of pints after work and we are encouraged as a nation to drink - its mad to say it but is true, you only have to walk into a supermarket currently and the first thing you will see if stacks of beers on offer and the industry props up the economy. like any addiction it isn't easy, but you just have to start somewhere, like running. You never will just go and run a marathon, you have to build up to it. If i was to put my relationship with booze into running terms i am probably up to 30km out of the 42km. but its taken me a long time to get here.

John Robbins the comedian has just released his book (its on audio book on Spotify as well) that is about his battle with alcohol, i haven't read it yet as it only came out on Friday however its meant to be great and his stand up (Howl) i have seen live and it is brilliant albeit a bit dark in places as it is about his drinking. I've listened to a few interviews he has done about drinking and he never was a bottle of whisky a day alcoholic it was the dependents of alcohol rather than the addiction. it might help hearing about drinking from a different angle. me personally i have cut my drinking down massively in the past 18 months mainly down to health - my 40 year review was a scary time with the docs. i, like others have tried to replace it with exercise, not at the time i would normally drink but the morning after, no way would i used to have gone the gym or out for a run on a Saturday or Sunday morning but i tend to do it now. My liver health is improving, my health is better and i actually feel alive at the weekends (i have also cut out LCFC so that has probably helped)

just bin VAR completely in open play. use goal line technology, clear and obvious offsides (daylight) and off the ball incidents. Its ruining the game and anyone that says its improving it is wrong.

Because I imagine they knew there was absolutely no chance Kante and Mahrez would play. Not being funny but anyone under contract at any club couldn't play their insurance wouldn't let them.

They will have the kids out.

My mate got his son and his cousin one there was 4k left at 5pm today apparently

You must have a very patient 2 year old. I couldn't think of anything worse than taking mine!

Yeah they have been pretty solid all season, only really got beat badly once or twice. Fair play to them and Farke as the core of that team played in the championship

It's crazy that Leeds who looked like they could go down are now actually 7 points from a potential champs league spot (if Villa with the Europa) strange league this year
