This grief line with jota is an odd one for me because I said to my son about it.
He had some sympathy for them and thought it was a factor but I thought it was nonsense. Is it a generational thing because I said we just dusted ourselves down and carried on regardless.
My old dad died on my last night shift and buried in four days so I only had two days off ( 6 days in total), I wasn't any different from everyone else at the time and you just accepted it.

I think when you lose actual kin, it can be a devastating experience. Having had to drag a lad out of the Isac river with a fellow soldier and then tag team CPR until the West German ambulance turned up and took over.
I didn't have any issues, but the two lads who were in the dingy with Ken (the lad who died), were devastated, blamed themselves. It was in no way their fault, neither weighed more than 8st, and Ken weighed around 11st and couldn't swim. They saved the officers life, but they were lucky to be alive, never mind save other people much larger than themselves.
We were in canoes and our instructor was awesome, got us stage our search further down stream. Thats where we found Ken in the shallows about 1km downstream.

I hadn't taken much notice of Konate because obviously I don't want to watch the club he represents, but the other night he was a walking catastrophe - for a professional footballer he was bloody awful, and that's being kind. Him and that utter waste of space Vain Dick between them were so poor it was laughable.
And the stick Salah gets, justifiable or not, seems a bit OTT from the dipper fans considering the amount of times he's bailed them out over the years. They complain that he doesn't track back and his work ethic leaves a lot to be desired, but the club gave him a new contract and a ridiculous pay rise to match, presumably they knew he was a lazy **** so why would they do that?

I know it's going to be a huge fucking ball-breaker if Arsenal lift the Prem this season, but think of the alternative and the dippers getting it...on second thoughts, don't think about it, the Samaritans might be closed.

Sunderland?

There is something special about these and the rags losing and generally going through a bad spell. As football fans we are by nature, tribal: therefor we like to hear of other teams' suffering and we get a kind of sadistic pleasure from it. But it's not a personal thing, at least not from me. I snigger if I hear Spurs were beaten, I laugh inwardly when I find the Chavs had taken a beating, but then it's forgotten about. I don't care about them - at least until we play them next.
But hearing the two cuntiest clubs in the history of cuntish clubs had been beaten sends me into a wonderland of sheer ecstacy. I am -in every sense of the word- delirious with joy, and I want to shout from the rooftops how delighted I am with these latest defeats for these two bastard clubs. It's no exaggeration to say that the pleasure I get from a dipper/rag defeat keeps me in good spirits up until the next round of matches.

Fair to say that of late I have been like Scrooge on Christmas Day, after the ghosts had visited him. Smiling radiantly at everyone and generally being the good egg I have always wanted to be.

Without a word of a lie, I finished reading your post and a few minutes later the i-Thingy shuffle here in the lounge started playing Gordon Lightfoot's 'If You Could Read My Mind'.. Spooky!

Its known as "Schadenfreude"( delighting in the misfortune of others ).

Thank fuck, finally a poster who uses big words has included an explanation as to what it means.
Recently too many posters haven't and thick fucks like me have to Google it. ;-)

Schade is German for "shame", and Freud means "delight".

So, it’s literally delight at others' misfortune.

Fuck off



:-)

Edit. Some fucker used thst word sesquipedalian recently...... was it you?
 
Not posted in ages but just popping in to say that I find using Jota’s death as an excuse for Liverpool’s bad form really disgusting. As you say, how do you explain them being good at the beginning of the season? And Isak, who didn’t know him, being utter toilet? What happened to him was horrific and I know it’ll take them a while to come to terms with it but I find this milking of his death so cynical and distasteful. And I say this as someone who cried over Kevin Campbell.

(I was not expecting us to beat the rags but happy we did, and in the most Everton way ever too)

He reminds me Upemecano. He's a walking disaster.
