Just chucked a tenner in on the donations sidebar If you need more later in the month give me a shout

Hey all, I understand after Christmas is a rough time financially although if anyone has any spare cash they'd like to contribute to the running costs of the forum, it'd be greatly appreciated. We're currently sitting at £225 of the £500 it now costs to keep the forum running for the full year. The forum's activity is on the up recently and with new members joining more frequently, hopefully it won't be too long before the forum generates enough through ads to keep itself running without the donations. We're sitting on page 1 of Google for terms like "football forum" so it's looking good for the future. If you're able, the PayPal account for the forum is hello@talkfootball365.com Cheers, Rab.

Ready and waiting...'Hic...burp'

@Stan:-

Colloquially affectionate

I just whacked £10 in, I hope that helps, cheaper than a packet of cigarettes.

This reminds me of those times as a kid when the bank or a local business would match whatever the school fun day raised for charity

Hang on for fuck's sake, let me get my seat belt on!!

All aboard the Arcadia... prepare for take off..

Something curious I came across today: Space booze that tastes and smells like raspberry flavoured rum... What are we waiting for??? @Bluewolf @CaaC - John

Edit: post deleted. Martial signs a new contract extension, @José beat me to it again!

Just goes to show what a shitehouse Don (The man who beat da bestest Barca team eva) Jose was. But you won't ever bring that up will you Teso?

Fair play mate. Maybe it could be interpeted that way but that is not intentional and would be the wrong way to look at it. What was going on and is going on warrants frank and detailed discussion and shouldn't in my opinion be degraded by those who are just looking for nothing other than to gloat. The loss of life or social tragedy is not a pawn and gloating about it is unbecoming. At least in the immediate moment the victims deserve to have their situation treat in the fullest of intellectual examination rather than having a verified twitter account post "Socialism fails again" to get likes and laughs or some other low hanging fruit of a quip. Hence the comment that it is not really the time for that. It might have its use and place but it certainly isn't when minds should be focused on detail. So whilst you see the post as a diversion it is actually about the opposite, it's about mopping up what is being passed as debate when it clearly isn't intellectual at all, rather it's childish. For that reason it is a coincidence that it might look similar to bullet dodging. The important thing to remember is what specifically is the context in which the comment arises. The exact same words can be very different in a different context.

The 'Other alf' of 45 years together

She is growing up so quickly...

It’s not a picture of me, but of my son... I swore I would never do it on here. But My wife who is with my son visiting her parents in Naples took this picture of my boy (Gennaro) today and I thought it was so telling and descriptive in the manner I love... That I would share it with you guys.
