Gym Monday to Thursday and on the ale all weekend. Couldn't sustain that way of life. On my 40th birthday I did about 18 pints of San Miguel and it took a week to get myself straight... I took that as a sign to change. Btay 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why oh why did we back off when we had complete control and were on top. Terrible psychology This is something that grates my brother. We never stand on a teams neck. I read someone saying that Carlo can lose his shit, I'd be interested to hear more about that. Romey 1878 and chicagoblue 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would people get on Keane or Mina's back if they put in similar performs at right back? Judge him in his position. He's proven to be our best centre half, with many saying he's better than Stones. Yes 100% they would. Bailey and MikeO 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonsta Posted February 7, 2021 Report Share Posted February 7, 2021 I remember watching a young player put in at left back, probably the worst i had seen at that time. Everyone was on his case, then they moved him to CB, the rest is history, that was K Ratcliffe. Holgate is not a full back, but i believe he will be a very good CB, IMO pete0 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holgate is not a full back, but i believe he will be a very good CB, IMO At the moment we have three very good and in form CB's after two starting places - Ancelotti is having to rota them a bit now - because none of them deserve dropping. So in CB terms it's going to be difficult for Holgate to find a regular starting place as a CB. If he does get a chance through a few injuries - he would need to perform consistently well to muscle in with the three we are currently rotating. Great to have four solid CB's as well as another young prospect on loan - I would say very much our strongest area on the pitch. The fact we can actually rely on these four to form a very decent complete back line is a massive bonus. I think Godfrey is now going to grow in to our No.1 CB - speed is a natural commodity that you either have or don't. Couple that with his ability and his attitude - he has everything needed to be a world class CB. You can just tell now good Godfrey has even come as a bit of a surprise to Ancelotti. He was a decent fee - so kudos to who identified him as a target at the end of the summer transfer window, as £20M on a young CB wasn't something I was expecting.

Palfy Posted February 8, 2021 Report Share Posted February 8, 2021 Probably only ever smoked weed 3-4 times in my life made me feel low, in a lot of ways I feel blessed that was the case it’s had a huge detrimental effect on my sons life and many others I believe.

Alcohol is definitely more dangerous. It's social acceptance is the main issue, I reckon at least 30% of people who drink have an issue with it, it's basically down to whether alcohol stimulates the brain to produce endorphins...... If the brain produces endorphins and the receptors respond and increase then it's a matter of time to how addiction takes over. Scary thing is that treatment makes out its a personality/choice problem.... I'd guess alot of mental health issues involve or stem from it. I know when I got older my head couldn't cope with stress after alcohol. Btay, MikeO, Matt and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
