Good post. Fascinating hearing the raw emotions from someone whose opinion I respect and clearly is well within his right to speak on the subject. Also fair play for admitting at the beginning that what you’re about to say may seem bitter and contradictory, refreshing to see someone admit that there may be flaws in their perspective, as opposed to the generic arrogant perspective you’d expect in this scenario. The only thing I really disagree on is the bit about nobody’s opinion on him changing because he’s going to win in Germany. Yeah they’ll win the league without him, but he is the type of player who can be the difference in winning the champions league(yes they can beat city and Madrid with Kane - much less of a chance without him). From a legacy perspective, when we or him look back on his career - winning trophies and settings records with the best team in Germany and one of the best teams in the world, will only add to his fantastic career, and I’d argue it does for more his legacy than winning zero trophies and just setting the Premier league goal scoring record. I also think he will return to the Premier League after he’s won the Champions League and multiple other trophies, in his mid thirties to try and break that coveted record of Shearers.

Nice one last night. Only quickly nipped in before the beer garden when my mate went to the cash machine.

Glad to hear you're in a better place mate. I know people in similar scenarios abusing the booze. For me, Its an empowering feeling just having a few and calling it a night, i've done that a few times recently. I did the same yesterday, a few hours in the sun with the lads and then went home. Woke up feeling fine today and had a productive day. A lot of us enjoy a good session, but when it becomes too frequent, you have to ask yourself is it worth wasting the following day and waking up feeling shite. I do not miss my younger days where i'd waste several days and be out multiple times a week. I have lost many friends in recent years, as i got in a crowd in my mid 20's where not only the booze, but the white stuff would make an appearance regularly, and some of them couldn't have a drink without it. When i made changes in my life, it made me realise they were never actually true friends. It's the only drug I've ever taken, but some of those nights i do not miss at all. I don't mean to digress, but you have to ask yourself what you want from life, and for me it's about keeping productive and constantly self evaluating and improving myself. I can't do that if i'm wasting several days a week. Then when i do go and have a nice meal and/or drinks, it makes it all that more rewarding.

Shocked at this, Pep obviously sees something in him that most of us do not. No better place in football to learn and improve though. I wouldn't even say it's a De Bruyne replacement, De Bruyne has never been about pace, i see him having the longevity of a Modric.

Yep. It’s like automatically brings up an old basket. Even though I’ve only done a month before, strange.

I’m such a quick turnaround he was the most realistic opponent they could get. Whyte is a tit, this is 3 times now.

Yeah still doing the same. It’s saying renew for a 6 month sub which I’ve never had. Only the monthly sub. Strange.

They only registered Lewandowski a day before the start of last season. They will sort it out. It makes a good click bait story, though.

We go 1 up then score immediately again after a sloppy pass from West Brom.

Pfffftt

What a tit he is. AJ could still fight it depends if they can get a credible replacement in time. There were other heavyweights on the card already.

Blackburn(heart not head), Preston double. BTTS and over 2.5…. 6 folds on each. Then strangely just gone for an outsider double of Hull and Lincoln, both opposing teams are big favourites… bit of fun.

Seen the PM will sort later @Stan if not everyone is in then just do whoever finishes highest out of us that pay, gets the winnings. Just had a look at all your teams, I initially thought of Vardy, but with the other options Leicester have, I wasn’t sure whether he would start every game? But I can see him up there with the top scorers… easily.

DM me then chaps I will hold the funds if you want… PayPal or bank i’m fine with. May as well do winner takes all if only 5/6 of us.

Cracking goal from Tella

So who’s in the league I can’t see yet? Shall we all send Mr Admin @Stan 5 or 10 each? Its better paying now in my opinion, keep us interested throughout the season for the chance to win a few pints at each others expense I’m also happy to hold the funds if people want to send to me? @Lucas @The Palace Fan @Bluebird Hewitt not sure who else is in? If it’s only us then may as well do winner takes all.

I nominate @Stan to keep hold of the money and we all send him £5?

Backed 2-3, 3-4 and 3-3 for tonight. Will probably end up 0.0 now but just hoping we get a goal fest now the footballs finally back

@Rab I just tried to renew as I plan on being more active now the season starts. And I’ll pay the 3.50 a month to support the forum, but when I go ti checkout it’s asking for a 6 month fee rather than a 3.50 and I can’t change it?

I’ve joined fellas. Hoping to stay involved this season! I know we have discussed before but never actually done. But shall we do £5 each and top 2 pay or something? Keep us all interested

High scoring game tonight. A 3-3 or 3-2.
