Now we know why the board canned the last meeting with the FAB, because the club wanted to accelerate and simplify the ST renewal process, both of which are to the detriment of fans (and that’s without knowing the outcome of travel review either) and the Club realised that just stuffing these...
We’re in our village boozer up in Bedfordshire this early evening. I’ll be hooning down a few TTs. Then back home for an Italian meatball casserole, with a couple of hearty Barolo. Or maybe Barolae? Then drifting into a late evening coma supping my own home made Clementine Gin in frozen shots...
I love him. The game needs characters. If it all became predictable, non-risk taking machines, there would be absolutely no point in going. Give me more Maupay characters in our sport. He didn’t injure anyone, insult anyone, threaten anyone, abuse anyone, put anyone at risk, disrespect any...
To illustrate the brilliance, and the sheer professional confidence, of my electrophysiologist and Surgeon Tim Betts at the JR in Oxford, there i am about to clamber onto the table in theatre for a 4+ hour procedure, there must be 16 people in theatre, anaesthetists, scrub nurses, surgeons...
I’ve been trying to claim those 3 all day for friends, but the seats just flash when you click on them, so unable to claim them, no idea why, never seen that before.
We’ll done. Yes, they do seem blasé, but every day they know that they have your very existence in their hands, and for that they become exceptionally skilled, focused, controlled and dedicated, which enables them to feel supercool. You’ll be fine. These people are staggeringly brilliant. I used...
You are quite right LM. Atrial fibrillation is a very precise term, it can cause the heart to fibrillate (attempt to pump) at 400+ times per minute, and the ventricles, atria and electrical stimulus just become completely confused. At the end of the day, the heart is a muscle which relies on an...
I wish you all the best. Tim Betts at Oxford was my surgeon and he is in the truest sense an absolute world leader. The toughest part is signing the consent form, which says there is a 4% chance you won’t get off the table (if the ablater erroneously hits the atrial node, it’s instant lights...
It’s a sober reminder that elite level sport at the highest level places colossal demands on the human body, which it often struggles to find the physical resources to respond. Us fat bastards up in the stands cannot hear the chest pumping, with colossal demands on the lungs to keep going. 100...
I feel for this chap, I really do, and I hope and wish he would just lay down his tools, and enjoy a settled life, albeit without professional sport. I suffered atrial fibrillation over 11 years. I had 9 cardioversions, effectively on the table where they apply massive electrical stimulus in an...
