    Paddy's "Things that cheer you up"

    in Off Topic

    Posted

    Most people wouldn't air their dirty laundry as it were, but it helps me in actuality to talk about things that are bothering and/or going on with me to get some help and tips and to just simply feel better about a certain situation overall.

    Even though have only been a member on here for a bit over 8 months, I can tell that overall some genuinely decent folks on here and therefore what I am about to say I know will be taken for what it is and I can feel comfortable in saying it.

    One of my older brothers has been battling drug addiction and alcoholism for several years now and has treated our family poorly whenever he was high, needed a fix, etc.  We even lost contact at times for months on end because we didn't know where he was at and had no idea how to contact him.  All offers of help were never accepted and he would get angry if we even suggested he had a problem. My and the rest of my family were so worried we would get the call or find out some other way that he had overdosed or hurt someone, etc.

    With all  that being said, he finally did breakdown and realize his life was going down a bad road and let us help him turn it around. Today marks one year that he has been clean/sober and we are going out to a local steakhouse here shorty to celebrate that. I have my brother back and hopefully we can get that connection back that we had when we were younger.

    Just want to say if anyone on here knows someone close to them who is dealing with addiction of any kind, never give up on them and always have faith that they will change for the better.

    100% both are starting and Ollie is a pro, it won't take him long to click with Danny. I'd imagine Deano wants them all on, the formation is going to have to accommodate Ollie, Ings, Buendia, Bailey and somewhere somehow Ash(maybe).

     

    I agree.Ollie is a very mature player and that is evident when he plays.

    Dean would not want Ings at the cost if you will of Ollie sacrificing a lot of game time.Same thing Danny wouldn't sign if knows minutes will be hard to come by.

    We have great coaches and they will get the best out of everyone.Of that I have no doubt.

    On the topic of Korean horror films. The best I’ve ever seen is The Wailing. It’s a perfect film.

    Never seen that one but I did watch the Korean film, 'I Saw The Devil' a few years ago and thought it was outstanding. Highly recommend if haven't seen it. More suspense I suppose rather than horror but anyway still best Korean film I have seen, with Train to Busan right behind it.

    nah there isn't a Hostel 4, I think I got a bit carried away with myself when I was typing the list out and thought I'd invent a sequel that never even existed.

    The Shining is on the list, and don't forget Salems Lot is King as well, I think Tommyknockers is one that I have never actually seen

    All of those are good.

    My favorite King movie is The Green Mile. Really more suspenseful/supernatural I suppose but just one of my all time favorites.

    Just bought a 4xl away shirt from the online store with Ings and his number on the back. Don't know if I am in the minority or not but I love the away shirt way more than I do the home one. Can't wait till it gets here👍

    I was reading the Southampton forum today. Someone reckons they have a more capable/Talented squad then us lol. Reckons we've bought unproven players like Leon Bailey and Buendia.

    I reckon they need to lay off the pipe😆

    He’s a 25 year old bloke trying to live the best life he can. Not perfect, made mistakes but doesn’t deserve this hate fuelled strange behaviour and comments. He’s moved clubs, that’s all, get over it. I’m more angry at fans who want to tarnish the best memories of the last few years than I am with a lad that dared to want something different after 19 years. 

    Aston Villa fans should be better than this. Grow up the lot of you.

    From my perspective it is just the way he went about it. Wants to play in the CL, win trophies right away, and make lots of money? Ok.

    But don't string along and give false promises to a club who has supported and loved you for so long.

    Just should have been more upfront and more of a man about the whole situation. Simples.

    Anybody see Peps latest comments about Kane. They are interested but Spurs value him at 160 million. Unless Spurs are prepared to negotiate they cannot do a deal. So city cannot afford him at 160 so Spurs need to reduce their asking price.

    The arrogance of him and the club is stunning.

    The whole club is from top to bottom (Fans, players,staff, etc) so yes they do expect all other teams to bow down and grovel to them.

    As far as Pep goes I have always found him to be one of the most arrogant **** in the game.

    Good manager no doubt but look at the **** teams he has had, don't have to be a world class coach to get the best out of them.

    Like to see him take over a truly shit team and see how successful he is.
