I took History as a subject so we learned about the British Empire, but as I'm from Britain it was tough from a celebration POV. I remember our teacher saying how good it was, as it's the closest anyone has come to world domination.

Benitez would be an absolute catastrophe.

Spectre was a great film.

Very good whenever he's played, but sadly that's only ever been cup games so only a handful of times. Think you could do a lot worse

Don't you support the England football team?

9/10 would bang.

It is perfectly normal to feel how you are @Spike, you aren't alone. I had a major mental health wobble a few years ago (when I left the forum) and sadly followed that up with another wobble a month or so ago, to the point where I'm speaking with a therapist as I was very close to pushing the suicide button. As bad as telling my wife that I didn't want to be around anymore, something which absolutely haunts me. There is a mental health crisis at the moment, due to lockdowns etc but to be honest the stigma has meant that it's never been talked about. People opening up like you have is a small step onto the right path, I don't have any magic words of wisdom but I'd stress you to speak to someone and get things off your chest in a professional setting and give yourself the comfort that there's thousands (probably millions) of people that feel just like you do. My PM's are always open mate, please speak to me if you ever want to x

UEFA not stepping in on Barcelona just shows them for the scared little mice they are. If this was Wigan Athletic or Blackpool they'd have had about 48 sanctions by now.

What would Johan Cruyff make of this? I've loved Barcelona for many reasons, but at the moment I just can't fathom how anyone can get behind them. Reckless, bullies, short-sighted, parasites. Since the Super League fiasco a dark cloud has been over them for me.

The obsession over Haaland is absolutely fantastic.

Lewandowski unregistered would be madness.

Disgusting.

Didn't see that he had been banned, but no surprise given he was a complete frogspawn shagger.

As if you'd pay to watch Fulham anyway.

Gove is nearly as bad though isn't he.

It should be hilarious but it's actually really, really sad. People's lives have and are being ruined because of this excuse for a government. I'm not into politics at all, but even I'm sick to my stomach at the state of affairs in this country.

What a fantastic amount of shite.

Yeah, exactly.

I get where you're coming from, but I think people will continue to call it Camp Nou. If Everton rebranded to Spotify Goodison Park, I don't think anyone would really refer to it as such (apart from the media for legal reasons).

Give me 10 minutes, can you PM me which posts you want emailing over and I'll put them into a zip file?

Thanks for the reply @Spike. Will send your comments to the council members for further discussion. Sorry about the PM mix up, didn't realise you were an SMS user. I had you down as being on tablet on the directory.

Sent you a PM @Spike

Honestly like being in North Korea this forum. Mods just don't have any sense of humour. Can I please get a refund for my donation last year? Sick of this.

Sorry, have sent an SMS PM instead - assumed you were on PC and sent a DIAHF. Yeah, just confirm that's come through and let me know if that's OK, no worries at all. @Dr. Gonzo I've sent you a message also.
