Chess Wanker!
Reminds me... must get a matching pair of chequered pants and socks
My mentality (fwiw) for the last few weeks/months is game at a time... but then, rather boringly, it always has been - always will. Sure.. I'll look at future segments or batches of games and idly wonder about things but it's a pretty straightforward mindset I've got on me. I also don't ever think about last season or 2014 or anything like that... the only thing I take from the past is we don't have Simon Mignolet in fucking goal anymore! We also don't have Clyne, Skrtel, Degsy (Mark 1) or bloody Moreno. All gone! It's all I ever wanted... the grief that that back 5 gave me and us was incalculable. And constant. That back 5 gave me the shits... they don't anymore. We're a different team - on another planet in comparison - so I don't think of the past - it's irrelevant, and I don't see why anyone should.
What I have a problem with tho is chat about when? or when the parade is. If I was a mod I'd be deleting these posts about parades and issuing bans. I hate it with a passion. I'm booking gigs and weekends away etc with an eye on
our fixtures only. All I'm interested in. And this is not out of some sort of cowardice or a hex/superstition thing, but it's just something I really dislike and something I don't do. For instance... I put together the cot for my first born at 1am, while a 6 hour old baby was lying on the bed. It's just the way I am.
Like everyone else tho... I did spend a good while looking thru all our fixtures from December 1st. How are we going to manage all these games? We could probably drop 5 or 6 and still be in a great spot was my thinking. We dropped
zero and won a WCC trophy 3391 miles away, and was back in time to batter Leicester away. I look at the future chunk of fixtures and Man City's and on paper ours looks much easier, but situations at other clubs evolve and change. West Ham are looking stronger, Watford are looking stronger, Southampton are looking stronger, Bournemouth look ripe for a pasting but maybe things will change there?
I dunno... just beat Man Unted. The rest is gossip.
