We seemed to have signed a new player called Sorenson! Not only that but he's now injured according to this piece. |

Would it matter?
Yes, my fathers ashes are in the ground and it remains one of the few connections I still have with him.
At the beginning of last season I seriously debated as to whether to cancel my season ticket due to the football and results happening. The fact that I was able to be at the same place that he visited so often and now is at rest there, kept me going.
Selfish? yes. Tenuous? yes.
But it's the memories and attachment I have that goes further than the venue. |

With the change in prices this year it means that you will most probably only be able to have two "premium" players in a squad. LAst year managed Salah, Haaland and Kane in my squad. This year with Haaland at £14m and Salah at £12.5m it doesn't leave a lot of room for another.
Raya in goal at £5m is worth a punt as he has been solid for the last two years. Otherwise, as stated, full-backs in defence, midfielders (Rice at £5m and going to Arsenal, looks a good buy) that take free-kicks and corners and Forwards that play regularly and perhaps take penalties. Be aware of teams that rotate squads as that will have an impact and if you are playing the official game, understand the different "tokens" and how and when to use them.
Good luck, it's as equally frustrating as it is enjoyable. |

Reply | Your first match without the person who first took you

My first match with my father was against Leeds United in the 74/75 season. He passed away early February 2019 and the first match after his death was the 3-4 home defeat against Birmingham. Through ill health and a falling out of love with the game he decided not to renew his season ticket at the end of the 2016/2017 season, taking his seat sticker with his name with him. We had gone to Rangers together for twenty years before that, along with a very close friend and I continue to go to Rangers with that close friend.
The first game without him would have been the 2-0 win against Reading at the beginning of the 2017/2018 season and at the time it felt very strange not going with him, but we still shared our views on the club and games when we met up, keeping the commonality alive so to speak.
His ashes are at the stadium and I still say hello to him every time I go to a home game. The first time being the 2 all draw with 'Boro on the 9th of November 2019.
The lord only knows what he would have thought of last season. |

Just back from two weeks out in Orlando. None of the theme park malarkey just relaxing and doing local stuff like Melbourne beach and local lakes. Lovely weather, terrible traffic. That will teach us to go over Presidents day and Spring Break as well as Snowbird quarter. |

It's great to see so many responses on this topic, one which I have been under on and off for the last 25 years or so. A result of a mixture of a terrible marriage and the resultant separation and protracted divorce, redundancy, unemployment, the loss of my father, new job with an absolute abhorrent manager, unemployment again and COVID-19. All over the last 8 years.
I have tried CBT, been on and off meds, tried hypnotherapy and talking therapy.
What works for me is the "one day at a time" mantra and switching negative self-talk to positive talk. I became mindful of what I was saying to myself and started questioning why I was saying the things I said - I wouldn't say them to my closest friend, why was I saying them to myself?
My therapist asked me to think of what soothed me and this, for me, would be music (Shout out to the Frankie Friday Thread!!), spending quality time with my new partner and getting outside. I have had to find the right solution for me as I believe there is not a one size fits all solution.
Hated being on meds and have recently finished a phased withdrawal.
I hope that I have learnt to identify my triggers and manage these accordingly and I am very grateful to have a very understanding partner who has been through the same thing which has helped immensely.
What I have found comforting is the knowledge that I am not the only one going through this, it just hasn't been talked about much in the past and was always regarded as a weakness.
A great post and the OP is to be applauded for being so brave, difficult to start the conversation, easier to join in.
I wish everyone that has gone through, is going through this debilitating illness peace of mind, stability and happiness in whatever shape it comes. |
