  1. I hate to give him praise as his heads big enough already, but I remember @Daggers doing a brilliant collage of quotes from a match thread. I think it was this year and I can't remember which game, but I do recall PMSL at the time. It was quality work
  2. Could be a while. 'Brenda' and 'Bodgers' still make an appearance on here
  3. The Ryder Cup
  4. We concede far too many goals. Unless we start getting some clean sheets, I can't see us getting enough points to survive.
  5. These boys are good. Really good.
  6. This is asked regularly on the Phoenix Nights Facebook group. The only place I know of on-line to watch it is on Dailymotion.
  7. I'm still angry about it. I can't let it go.
  8. You can say that again
  9. Gotta take our chances at some stage though
  10. Probably Maddison
  11. 2nd in the table as it stands. Nuno doing an incredible job there even though it pains me to say it.
  12. Every time one of our corners doesn't get past the first man I think of you You've been banging on about this for years and you're right.
  13. Mavidogshit
  14. Happy enough with the keeper, Winks, and the front four. The rest ain't good enough.
  15. We took them to see It's a Wonderful Life at the cinema last Christmas Eve. A bit different to Die Hard but a classic none the less
  16. They absolutely loved it
  17. Wish I'd checked that Squid Game Season 2 only had 7 episodes beforehand. Felt like it stopped half way through the story - because it did Season 3 apparently out sometime next year. I feel a bit short changed tbh.

    Whisky

    Always happy to hear from the expert Wolfy!
  19. In fact, it moved faster than any human-made object, hurtling at 430,000mph - the equivalent of flying from London to New York in less than 30 seconds. That blows my fvcking mind

    Depression

    The perceived wisdom is that there's a big difference between getting a 'high' (short term happiness) and long term happiness (peace of mind, fulfillment, contentment, sense of purpose, enlightenment, whatever you want to call it) For me, I get the 'highs' from various places (gym, golf, sex - if I'm lucky, comedy, giving back/helping others, watching LCFC win on the rare occasion etc, etc.) But all of these are really just a short term dopamine hit though and don't really address the deep underlying search for sustained happiness. I would even be so bold as to say that allowing external factors to dictate our happiness is not the answer either. Most people go through life with an "I'll be happy when..." outlook. E.g. I'll be happy when.... Leicester win more games, the global outlook is less bleak, politics is less diverse, I find my dream job, meet the perfect partner, win the lottery, pay the mortgage off, etc, etc. All of this means delaying our happiness until something often out of our control happens. We could be waiting forever to be happy. It's easy to be sad when all this shit is going on but maybe the antidote is gratitude. When we're grateful, there's no room for the negative shit to creep in. And maybe long term sustained happiness starts with being happy with ourselves first. Happy in our own skin, happy with our contribution to life, happy with the role we play and the difference we make. Happiness is an interesting subject and some experts argue that we're all born with a maximum set limit of 'happiness points' available to us anyway due to our genes/DNA. We all know people that despite having all the trappings and luxuries in life are still grumpy fvckers. We also know people who on the surface have fvck all but always seem to have a happy disposition about them. I've studied this subject loosely for years and it fascinates me. One thing I do believe though is that happiness leads to success much more often that success leads to happiness.
  21. I hate everything about us this season and we're not even half way through it. We stink. Merry fvcking Christmas.
  22. I thought he did well in patches last season but he's been found out at this level.
