  1. Obvious one, but I regret dicking about at high school and Uni. Could have left a good Uni with a good degree in something I cared about. Regret not going to a better school when I was small. Passed the entrance exam thingy, but chose to stay in the village school instead. Dumbass. I regret jumping off off a fence when I was a teenager and fucking my ankle up. It's so weak now, that the kinds of exercise I enjoyed (football/basketball etc.) are fraught with the risks of spraining/knocking it again. I'm similar to CT though, if I'd gone straight to Uni from school I wouldn't have met a lot of really good friends, I may not have ended up in london, and so on. The ankle thing is different though.

  3. I've had some brilliant days following us home and away and met some mint people. Just winning something would be a nice side benefit of football

  7. I know Diame was a passenger in the game, but I don't think playing 2 in midfield with Hayden would have seen us wrest more control of the centre. Perez puts pressure on their CBs and CMs and were we to play with 2 up front, the gap between the forwards and the midfield would increase the amount of long balls we'd rely upon. I don't think the wingers were restricted in attack, and even were we to play 4-4-2 they'd need to have shouldered the same defensive responsibility they do in a 4-2-3-1, perhaps even more. We put in 16 crosses, but most of them were shite. I think the tactics were right, but we were undone by a combination of a momentary lapse in concentration at the back, the opposition's specific qualities, a poor selection choice (Diame) and wasteful play by the wide men. 4-4-2 repeatedly gets unravelled by 4-2-3-1 as the midfield gets swamped, the wide men rarely get 1-on-1 and the two strikers get starved of possession. Meanwhile the team playing 4-2-3-1 can overload the midfield, the #10 finds holes and channels or pulls CMs and CBs out of position. With the squad we've available I get why we play it.

  8. Probably madness. Maybe only applies if you are happy with your lot in life. I’ll try and explain. Its sort of tracking back from where you are now and there being a continuous line leading from the past to today. Had I gone to university I wouldn’t have me the wife I have or have the kids I have etc. I would have a different life and I have no way of knowing how that would have turned out. You could have caught that Ferry to Finland, disembarked and been hit by a car. All alternative possible decisions can not be viewed in isolation but must be viewed through the ripple scenarios. As I said, I guess it depends how you feel about your lot in life as to whether you look at the ripple effect as positive / negative.

  12. Every Fucking Thing. What I've learnt is there is no rhyme or reason to life, you can do your best to use logic to plot your best direction in life, but it's pointless. Because people are cunts who will always let you down. As for housing. I'm salary rich and capital rich but crippled by personal debt. It'd be funny if I didn't run out of money every fucking month to buy a coffee. Ah well, soon be dead etc.

  14. A school teacher asked her class to make a sentence containing the expression “I presume”. One little girl held up her hand and said: “Yesterday my mother hand washed the dinner dishes and I presumed that the dishwasher was broken.” “Very good” said the teacher. Another one said: “This morning, my father drove the Volkswagen out of the garage. I presume that the BMW wouldn't start.” “That’s excellent” says the teacher. Little Johnny at the back of the classroom gets up and says: “Yesterday I saw grandpa leave the house with a newspaper under his arm and headed for the bush, I presume that.......” The teacher interrupted him and said, “I stopped you because you have no idea what your grandfather was going to do, so you can’t presume anything. ”Johnny says, “Please Teacher, let me finish my sentence.” The teacher says, “Very well. Continue.” “As I was saying, I saw my grandpa heading for the bush with a newspaper under his arm. I presume he was going for a shit because he can’t read
