    [Help] More anxiety as i get older

    OP should be congratulated.. the responses show just how "typical" these kind of feelings are. Certainly different nuances and stages, but anxiety/lethargy/depression are part of lots of men's lives at "our age" in fact at all ages. I think at my age, I'm 52, there are a number of factors that...

    [Football] Why am I still not excited about England?

    different games = different emotions simple as that for me. The win (or rather goals) against Germany had me off my seat (and into my street!) , for sheer release of tension. Saturday had me sat back in a sense of "disbelief" of the relative ease we secured a thumping win. I expect game and my...

    [Football] Victory Over Germany- The Sword of Damocles For Southgate

    I am not "waiting to be impressed" before enjoying the journey. We just got a huge result. Our performance was edgy and of course the fine margins we as BHA fans know and love make the difference. They will on Saturday too - if they go our way, we will win, if not....Whatever about our...

    [Albion] Danny Welbeck, should we? [18/10: we did - one year deal] - *** NEW ONE YEAR DEAL ***

    This is undoubtedly good news.. really pleased with that.

    [Albion] Do you remember your first Albion AWAY Cup game

    Ha! Can't believe I forgot the semi-final! I quoted P'Boro away as 1st, but this was it and what a day it was..

    [Albion] Do you remember your first Albion AWAY Cup game

    I think mine was the snowy London Road at Peterborough! 2-2 - one of the strangest, most exhilarating and, with hindsight of terrible tragedies to come, the scariest football match in terms of crowd safety/over-crowding!

    [Albion] Wow !!

    Love the angst of fans when the parent Club demands a high fee for their prized asset.. Its no different to any other transaction.. if he's too expensive, cut your cloth accordingly - or improve your offer.. (how's that young Maitland-Niles getting along btw)? Its like me moaning about the price...

    [Albion] Danny Welbeck, should we? [18/10: we did - one year deal] - *** NEW ONE YEAR DEAL ***

    I would be surprised at West Ham taking him .. Antonio is injury prone and we know Welbeck is too. They might be seeing him as one of two or three that they bring in, but doesn't look that clever to me to have a lot riding on 2 players who are often injured, or at least injured a number of times...

    [Football] Arsenal’s Ben White

    Oh I can see how he's been left out - the attacking talent we have is incredible. I guess this adds to the puzzling 4 right-back choices - could we have freed another space for an attacking option who is arguably in better form, currently, than Sterling, and Grealish albeit doesn't play if all...

    [Football] Arsenal’s Ben White

    I can see some point, for a ben White, a bit of additional experience when others aren't ready, but southgate has suggested I think that Lingard could well start the friendly.. well if he has the game of his life, scores/assists etc, I just don't see that as helpful to GS or indeed Lingard -...

    [Football] Arsenal’s Ben White

    This is the latest thing to vex me.. surely a chance to get some fitness into those players who haven't played much recently, or just back from injury. (To be fair, this may yet be the case!) Why look to build that "Club environment" with players who will not be in that Club? If they have...

    [Football] Arsenal’s Ben White

    To those concerned at the lack of support - I'm not "England negative" far from it. I will love the Euros and absolutely get behind the effort. But for now, from a subjective, opinion-based footy discussion, I am critical of Southgate and his approach to his squad selection in the context of the...

    [Football] Arsenal’s Ben White

    I'm not "England negative" far from it. I will love the Euros and absolutely get behind the effort. But for now, from a subjective, opinion-based footy discussion, I am critical of Southgate and his approach to his squad selection in the context of the most realistic chance of doing well, (Home...

    [Football] Arsenal’s Ben White

    Maguire, Henderson and Phillips in then.. in form and fit apparently. The only way White was going to get in was if there was a crisis and utility players needed.. Walker can be classed as utility - has played back3 and full-back (wing-back). There is no need to have 4 right backs in the squad...

    [Football] New football kits 2021/22

    The NOBO Kit, worn at Anfield for the 2-2 Cup Draw, John Byrne, Mike Small and the football genius.. that was made by "Sports Express " so that may have been a DIY notion.. I know this as I was sorting through my old shirts at the weekend!!

    [Football] Arsenal’s Ben White

    This issue for Southgate has been building and building.. His free hit was the World Cup 2018, and our progress to a semi-final has given him credit despite the manner of our exit and the poor performances vs. sides of any note. His quotes on "form and fitness" are making this selection very...

    [Football] Arsenal’s Ben White

    Sorry, off topic, but England related - see Grealish is in the squad.. I will be haunted as to whether to appreciate him playing for England and the excitement he can bring, vs, the frustration I have for his diving/antics. I see the Chelsea skipper (cant spell his name) who was sent off for...

    [Other Sport] Golf - do you play?

    Your 1st...how many have you got??? A friend of mine sort of got one... having skewed his tee shot into the woods, he took his "third" and straight into the hole!! I tried to console him that a par was still good!! He's never been close since..

    [Football] Arsenal’s Ben White

    I am absolutely with you on that. I always sound like an old fart, but I cannot believe players reluctance to do almost anything with their weaker foot. I am sure for many of them its probably better than they think, but so many turn away from that option. Although, I was boring my son with...
