I hope you did proper training for this momentous sporting occasion. Five mile runs for two weeks, some weights, proper diet. Dangerous to do sport without preparation.
Not a day goes past I don't think of my cat Holly. Got her from CPL, emaciated, sick, grabbed her back to life. She was petrified of humans having been abused. Only had her for 18 months, but in that time she had learned to love life and trust me. One day found her paralysed in the front garden...
Broken hearted for you genuinely. Looking as I do at my two cats (one nearly died last year) and seeing them at their peak, 5 and 6.... the next decade will go as quick as the last. I try to think of now, but I just know how you feel. Been there, hate it.
Can't disagree with the stadium being crap. But I should imagine for a player outside the top six, West Ham would be a very enticing place to go, something I wouldn't be so sure about Leicester, despite their recent freak, but glorious, Premier League win.
