Is the 0.5 just hand stuff?

Very, very much THIS. 

Yeah, even for me, this is true. Like, 1998 feels like it’s about ten years ago, not f…ing 25. There are people who themselves are starting to feel too old who weren’t even born when stuff happened that feels like yesterday to me.

Heres a question for you guys in relationships. Do you still use rubbers or not?

I hope, with some confidence, I’ll never have to wear one of those things ever again.

No doubt each time also lasts a good 40 to 50 minutes and your Mrs can't get enough as you're so amazing but it's just so frustrating for you.

Or was that some other Scandinavian poster who claimed that on here a while back?

I have no idea if another Scandi VT’er made such claims or not, but f*** it, I’ll just go ahead and claim all of that except the bit about it being frustrating

On holiday, just me and the missus, no problem at all.

No, but she bought my lad over to see me.

Glad to hear you haven’t got a brain tumor, buddy, but that is f***ed up. 

I hate my ex with a passion, but if the mother of my child potentially had a brain tumor I’d want to know. What would drive her to not even ask you about something so massive?

You lot are amateurs, I married a genuine asexual. Not a joke, it is what it is and I love her immensely but sex is not part of our relationship. I don't judge her for it, we ascertained a long time ago that was how she was and for the most part I live with it. It's not something I have ever shared with anyone as I don't want my friends to judge her or our marriage, but yeah, asexual. 

There is absolutely no way I could live like that, and I don’t say that to be disrespectful.

Hope I get a few replies even from the single VTers . How many times a week are we having sex  …..

 

 

I’d say on average about 1,5+ times per day, so 10-12 times per week, but we’ve only been together for six months. 

I probably should wait a bit and enjoy this before I ask her to marry me, shouldn’t I? 

Need to get that balance right and rotate a couple of players in without weakening the side. The likes of Chambers can’t be trusted, clearly, but we can’t play the same 11 every game in all comps either. 

Oh, and we pretty much have to win. No slacking and half-arsing it. 

Fantastic.

Know I'm probably alone here but I will take a cup trophy over CL qualification any day of the week

You’re not alone.

Thank you for your support, like everyone else offering any advice or care, it's so greatly appreciated.

I really hope she's not cheated again. It'd make me so hateful, and that's really not who I ever want to be. When I was young my parents were that way, I'm always determined not to be them.

Hey, don’t read into my or anyone else’s instincts. I have major trust issues after being treated like absolute dogshit by my ex, and I tend to project them onto others. 

Follow your gut instinct, but I have to say, at the very least, her reaction is odd. You don’t just ask for a divorce over a disagreement. Even after learning the truth about the evil shit my ex had done to me, it still took me a couple of weeks to decide what to do about it.

I really hate to say this, buddy, and I really hope I'm wrong, but she could well be seeing somebody else, and she's looking for a smokescreen excuse to split up without owning up to the real reason. 

Yeah, I hate to say this was my initial instinct too, but I am scarred by my own experience.

They threw it away 2 seasons ago bit like Arsenal

They probably draw too many games

They probably do, and they probably will, and as long as HSV f*** up every year I’m fine

Such a close and interesting league, though. Lots of massive clubs Hertha and Schalke struggling early doors. 

St. Pauli off to a decent start in Zweite. Their form since last winter break and the new head coach took over is promotion form. Could it actually happen? 

An Oslo restaurant is doing The Bear  themed brunches, so today I’ve had a four course meal of fennel salad, Sidney’s omelette, Mikey’s family spaghetti and an ice cream sundae. 

Farking delicious.

I don't mind drums so much from the other end of the ground but I'd be **** livid if I turned up and found out I was sat next to one  

I’m within spitting distance of our drum for Vålerenga games, and I hardly notice it tbh.

If it worked it would be, if it was organised and then people bought in to it, if you had the guy with the microphone orchestrating it... Instead you have a flat crowd and the drummer tries to get somethibg going and it's just noise

The structure isn't there in an English crowd to make the drummer effective imo

That’s probably true. Sadly.

I'd hate it

A drummer is just noise, it's not atmosphere, look at the england band they make noise while Wembley is flatter than a witches tit

The one I would say English football has over European football is we ebb and flow with the game, we've got the come on roar when there's a counter or win a corner etc the organised legia guy just cracks on for 90 minutes regardless

Nope, that’s just not true. The drum is only there to amplify the singing and help people keep the right pace.

Catching up on things, but with international level players and with European cup experience there’s no excuses for the likes of Chambers, Digne and Youri to be totally awful today. At least Digne got a goal back but still. 

Agreed.

Going so ‘weak’ was a mistake in hindsight 

It’s still a team full of internationals. Should be more than enough quality in there to do better.

I don't think we should have changed the back 4 for an away European tie

Nah, these players should be good enough. Can’t blame Emery for giving them a chance. Just a shame they haven’t taken it. 

Chambers just doesn’t have it. 

Scrap VAR

Go back to a common sense and spirit of the game understanding of the offside rule.

Presumably this is because of your (now not so recent) personal life situation?  Or has the jump in costs lead to a massive rise in your mortgage?  (Or possibly both things? )

Mostly the former, of course, but the monthly bill is about 40 per cent higher than it was a year ago.
