Totally agreed. It’s a good way to live life mate not just this forum. Not wishing to dwell upon it but getting very sick made me redress much of how i handled certain situations and people. I now just do not allow toxicity or nastiness to get to me, plus i learned how to use the ignore button, on all social platforms i use I am in this struggle mate and the struggle is real. Very easy forget there’s a man like you sat on the other side of the screen. A man with his own ego and pride just like you and me. Whenever I have a bad day I am prone to vent a little bit on here. Then regret it. It’s why I refuse to taunt the Barton outers now we’re doing well. One thing I’ve learned in life is to let the other guy save his face. Same with my Mrs. Same with kids. Never humiliate someone when they’re down or proven wrong. Not saying Barton outers are inherently “wrong” as they had reasons other than football, but you get my point. They will hate you for the rest of your life and if you’re gracious about it, they will remember that, forever. Not to go on another ramble on history KP but a lot of WW2 was due to the French (mainly) and Britain wanting Germany to be humiliated in defeat after the first war. That did not end well for anyone. Thankfully we learned the second time and helped rebuild Europe together as allies and friends. One of my key bits of advice to any young people is to be gracious in victory, let the other person save their dignity and face in defeat. Anyway, hangover ramble over! UTG

I tend not to go on about it as it can make me feel very anxious and so my coping mechanisms have changed, a lot. I used to do nothing but talk/write about it but i realised it can’t help what i cannot control. I now HAVE to try and just let go and allow the specialists to do their jobs and hope for the best. I realised it’s never going to be easy. Thanks again BTW. I do know about the French pushing Germany into massive inflation and poverty, that they were taking wheelbarrows of cash just to get food. If you allow any country such as Germany, to go down that route then it doesn’t bode well. EDIT I just wish my Mrs would understand that not all serious diseases are visible, it makes it extremely difficult to maintain long term relationships but i am trying to forgive but she just is not getting it, that there are days that all i can do is to be

Last year I got sent to hospital and they were very concerned - either viral or blood cancer (I have a lot of that in my family). My daughter had just been born, so I had the horrible fear that right when I was needed I could be going down a scary path. Thankfully it was a recurrence of glandular fever - really hit me for six. The thing I remember when I was going home after being told it COULD be pretty nasty was how much time I had wasted in pointless arguments and also people who I thought I hated, well, actually I don’t want to be on bad terms. It made me think hard about that. Whatever you’re dealing with bud we are all mortal and all just temporary visitors here, any one of us could step under a bus, look at Shane Warne. There is a certain wisdom that poor health brings so although I pray for your health, there is at least, even in the darkest times, some wisdom and perspective meaning that there’s always another layer of knowledge ready to be exposed to you.

Thanks again, I totally understand what you are saying about the changes in perspective and i have made my peace, with a fair few who i either wronged or wronged me. There are still a couple i can’t deal with and because they made assumptions then tried to bring others into something that, could have easily, been dealt with over a phone call or a private chat. Yes, we, all of us, never know what can befall us and i bear that in mind, especially when i get the fear. I can genuinely say i have done my bit now and can rest easy on that. I know this is cliche but it really is one day at a time and i have found that, by going back to books, i can at least escape for awhile. I still find it very difficult with all the testing and then waiting on results but, the most important thing, i am here and still breathing and putting some plans in motion to look after those who stood by me, in my darkest of times and still continue to help, now. I really appreciate your posts this morning. Many thanks

If you’ve won anything...you’ve won you don’t need to be triumphant or anything. And as I was often told growing up ‘always be as nice as you can to people on the way up because you never know if you will meet them again on the way down!’ I think that translates into something like ‘treat other people the way you would like to be treated.’ 👍 UTG!

Good spot Topper. Tough run in for some, especially those who are already not in form. Our coaching team are professionally focused on winning. Win our games and who knows the outcome. No looking back with Joey. Just learning and progress.

Colchester (H) Win Northampton (A) Draw Carlisle (A) Draw Bradford (H) Win Tranmere (A) Loss Salford (H) Win Port Vale (A) Draw Forest Green (H) Draw Rochdale (A) Win Scunthorpe (H) Win 19 points out of 30 putting us on 76. Enough for automatics? Unlikely. Would take us into the playoffs though for sure. Currently 2 points ahead of my prediction, those two points could make all the difference come the end of the season. 78 as opposed to 76 may be enough for autos this year.

I can't see us losing at Tranmere given both teams current form and we could well now beat FGR, unless they some how rediscover their early season form.

I'm looking at matches can see us winning all games bar Tranmere away draw, port vale away maybe an unlucky defeat, and draw against Forest gumps.
This would put us on 80 points clearly enough for play offs, but hopefully close to automatics.
