  1. Lowton has been nonexistant and Bennett had been a liability. Really don't understand why Lichaj hasn't been given a chance while those two continue to struggle each week.

    I don't understand why people like Holman. Yeah he has a great work ethic but he is terrible going forward. His shot is crap, he cant cross and he is invisible for most of the game. Bring on Marc Albrighton because at least Marc can occasionally develop a good chance and finish it.

    Agree on Bennett but we seem to be actively playing down our left. Is it on purpose to get Gabby in the game. Lowton not seen much of the ball at all. If Marc comes on Benteke needs to as well.

  2. I think I may have posted negatively. I am in a positive frame of mind to fight the beast as hard as I can and my spirits are great.

    I am not scared of dying which means I can fight because I love life. Besides I have a great opportunity to say bye to people I love. Still I can fight hard and aim for a couple of years.

    But honestly I am positive. I would rather take this on than any of my friends and family.

  3. All the best to your mum Stevo. I hope the treament goes to plan.

    first time I have ventured into OT for a while. My own fight with cancer is in full flow although I cannot win, i am not going to let it take me easily. Had 2 rounds of chemo so now hair is going. Looking good with a No. 1 skin head though haha!

    Hope everyone is good and keeping well. I have been bed bound with a DVT and clots in my leg for 7 weeks so laptop not been out but ipad ordered so shoud be on more soon!

  4. Irreverentad - I reckon you got this, I'm not going to say good luck, or best wishes, because you'll be fine.

    Give that shitty disease hell man.

    Edit; How did you find out by the way?

    Thanks to everyone for your support. It is really fantastic.

    How I found out? Well went to a&e through shoulder pain and a little problem swallowing but nothing major.

    They found it by doing an endoscopy (camera down the throat) and taking biopsies, blood test and a ct scan.

    Doc pre warned me that it would be bad news the day before the full disclosure for me and family.

  5. Cheers chaps. Gone through a lot of horrible things this week, moped a bit but does no good. Gonna be as positive as possible and try to put this as far in remission as possible. Got meeting at Christies next week re chemo and it should start pretty quickly from there. So fingers crossed. This is a disease that is prevalant in 55 + year old smokers. I dont smoke or really drink. Hardest bit is trying to keep the family on an even keel. Cheers for support guys

  6. Got diagnosed with a tumour in my gullet this week. Inoperable because it has spread to my liver. Very rare at the age of 30. Only hope is to put it into remission through chemo otherwise nothing they can do. So a bit of a stressful week!!!!!

  7. The part of the wedding i found expensive for what it was, were flowers, cake and photography.

    Those 3 alone set us back around £1500!!!

    Not to be biased but the photography is possibly the most important investment we could make on a wedding. It's the one thing that will last longer than even the rings possibly will and the memories are priceless as we get older. Very very unappreciated at times.

    Dont get me wrong, i look back at them now and consider them priceless, just at the point of putting my debit card in the machine i thought "these pictures better be printed on gold leaf!".

    I realise now how hard the photographer works and i didnt realise how many they actually take. He didnt miss a trick, the amount of superb pictures he took without us knowing was brilliant.

    Ye, at the time it's a lot of dough and when everyone is stressed trying to pay bills and for the rest of the wedding it seems worse :) But exactly, get the right photographer and it's well worth it.

    Only looked at mine once since they were done. How often do you lot look at yours?

  8. The part of the wedding i found expensive for what it was, were flowers, cake and photography.

    Agreed. Thats why a friend did the photo. We bought a cheap cake (£100) and went minimal on flowers.

    But wiggy is right the price of these is extortionate.

  9. haha as if sigurdsson would have come to play for that idiot

    he is delusional and still peddling the "decent manager, decent bloke, not given a fair crack of the whip" nonsense

    I know right i mean after all he ONLY got Alexander Hleb ( Arsenal and barcelona midfielder ) and Obafemi Martins ( inter milan and Newcastle striker ) on loan for SHA ...Surely that was one of the worst points ive ever heard on VT :?

    Heh, and let us not forget how Hleb described the experience afterwards

    "The day before a game he would come onto the pitch and show us what to do: 'You stand here, the goalkeeper will give you the ball here, kick it as far as you can and don't pass to anyone nearby. And we all run.'" :lol:

    I am no McLeish fan but Hleb's career since leaving Arsenal has hardly been a blaze of glory. Maybe he should look at himself a lot closer.

  10. Was away at V fest for the first game and still havent seen the game... :L

    Was he really that bad ?

    Nope he wasn't.

    He was just ineffective. Could be many reasons for it eg rest of the team, the way West Ham defended, knock he picked up in midweek or he just was below par.

    Chalk it off and on to the next one.

  11. Just to lighten the mood a bit......over the last couple of weeks I have been a bit moany about the amount of time we (me and my GF) have spent with each other. I kinda questioned 'What was the point?'.

    I WAS WRONG and I am an idiot.

    Something 'not good' happened to me over the weekend and might continue to do so for a bit. She was there for me and whats more I wanted her to be there for me and needed her to be. I called for no one else, nor did I even think of any other person at that time.

    Why do you only realise how much you care for someone when something iffy happens. Properly love this girl.

    I know this all sounds a bit ghey but I don't give a crap.

    To those that sneer at this thread, it covers all aspects of relationships inc dating, sex, long term stuff. Yes people have fun it, but why shouldn't they??? Sometimes if is good to have a smutty giggle as well as a smile at Ingram's dating techniques. This thread also has some good people on here that also offer a lot of good advice. I know personally, I have been helped a lot after being off the dating scene for 11 years.

    I love it when a new post has been put in here because before I click I have no idea whether it is serious or funny and I like that. It was what I hoped the thread would become when I created it.

    Are you ok? What happened?

    Hopefully. A few medical things but hopefully will sort itself out.

    It was just important to me that she was the only person I wanted/needed.It really shocked me how much so! She dropped everything at that moment to help.

    She is a star.

    Put a ring on it.

    If you're writing that on a football forum.... marry it.

    We are married!!!!.......just not to eachother!

    Maybe in time
