Yeah they were famously the only unbeaten team at the 2010 World Cup, and Chris Wood is obviously a decent player. But in terms of qualification path and squad depth, they’re absolutely awful

New Zealand are pound for pound the worst team in the world cup by the way (on paper).

I’m not sure that’s completely true re England players, Freddie Flintoff has always been complementary about playing at Grace Road, tho it’s often for the net facilities which are well known to be the best in the country. edit Ev, I just saw the other post about Freddie moaning so I take it all back 😂😂😂😂

Honestly there’s the small chance he’ll be fine but it’s not the point. Anyone with any knowledge of supporters views knows that Martin would be the least popular appointment we could possibly make because he’s a wet wipe and plays the dullest football you can imagine. The disdain is with the club actively going against everything the support would want.

Wonder if he’ll get a shot tomorrow if Budinger is still out

How did you guess 😂😂 thank you I appreciate it

Bloody hell lads, I’ve basically just had a 3 week non stop panic attack (not helped by using booze as Valium to calm it down). Finally feeling like I have regained some sanity but my body is in absolute pieces. It’s all basically built up over a year, relationship breakdown, loss of flat, work stress then something happened three weeks ago and my brain just exploded. Haven’t been able to get any help aside from ‘signposting’ but very fortunately relatives have stepped up to care for me. I knew the relationship wasn’t working for me this time last year but she was ‘the one’ if that makes sense. Everyone was expecting us to settle down and have kids including myself. She’s a beautiful person but she has her own issues but it was always me that needed to work on my issues and I’d get accused of gaslighting if I told her she needed to sort a few things out. And day by day I was just becoming more miserable and isolated and quite frankly a bit paranoid (as people on other threads will attest to). Again drinking loads which is not me, I’ve never been a drinker until the last year and it’s been my one coping mechanism which I want to change. And yeah about 6 months ago I got ‘emotionally’ close to a work colleague, nothing ever happened physically but it was enough for me to realise there’s more to life than this relationship. So I called it quits and I’ve been having some insane levels of guilt over it all and keep getting told by her and some of my relatives that I was the issue when we’re trying to sort things out over the flat. I immediately had to leave our flat (was my choice) but I’m still paying for it now which is an issue I need to sort out but she guilt trips me around her becoming homeless if I stop. I know things weren’t great for me but I never felt listened to. Bleurghhhh I guess I’m a bit scared right now because I’ve never quite crashed out like this. But also I guess I’ve never held so much life stress like this at the same time. You’d be shocked to know what I do for a living but also kinda makes sense when you think about emotional burnout. If anyone gets to the bottom of this, thank you for reading, I just needed to vent and write stuff down somewhere.

Bizarre that the bbc have engaged into this Matt Goodwin style race and ethnicity rage debate when nobody needed or asked for it.

What do you mean Fabio Cannavarro is the manager of Uzbekistan?

Switzerland will win this group with a record GD I think, it’s that bad

Yeah Scriven is my favourite to be honest. He just seems to have that level of control that the other young lads don’t.

We really missed an opportunity with Rishi Patel, I know it was all a bit funny but he found something at the end of last season bowling wise. All we’d need is for him to get through 4 overs at less than 8 we could play an extra batter.

We usually start well and fall apart later in the competition so maybe the other way around suits us 😂

This pitch is appalling and you can guarantee if it was Cardiff or Durham, they’d lose a test match over this. Genuinely bouncing lower than Broomleys mid April.

Gay looks like Cook once he gets on that front foot outside off 😍😍😍

In the men’s we’re looking at sadly a very simple Zverev victory right?

It SHOULD still get there. You may even see a result

Honestly man Darren Stevens would have 400 test match wickets if they were kind

I know we’ve been crap but when New Zealand are on it, they’re unreal. And they’ve been that today. Conditions have helped but they’ve bought this rather than us throwing it away.

The whole Bashir thing is crazy

Thank you, just really struggling. Doing everything they say about ‘reaching out’ then just not getting anything back from services. You’ll tell someone over 111 that you’re really struggling but don’t want to kill yourself and they just give you the ‘computer says no’ treatment

Also please I’m in the absolute pits at the moment so please send me some love, it helps 😂😂 the annoying thing is I have a path to a happy, healthy anxiety and alcohol free life but I just need a bit of help from services and nobody is giving it to me :(. You get to a point where you actively have to try and kill yourself before they’ll give you that 5% support that is often all you need

Hey mate, sorry to read you’re going through this. I’ve ended up on this thread at the minute as I’m also going through a very similar crisis (crippling anxiety, drinking all day, wanting to find ways to stop but services not giving me any support). Hope things are going well, please PM me and maybe we can do this together.
