2024 - a tough year or a good one?

[Plays By Sense Of Smell]

A year of achievement, frustration, heartbreak and hope, deep love, peace and an awakening of sorts.
Overall, thinking it may be one to appreciate for the ages, as can feel a transformation coming on...

I'm living. Enough for me.

These last few weeks have been unbearable. 1 fucking win out of 10 games. Did Alan Ball do any worse?
Pep out, Mansour out, bring back Swales, Halford and Phil Neal.

Got to be honest I couldn't care less, IMHO football as we know is in the toilet and we're watching a twitching corpse wondering how the football industry got to this shit show.

I know we've been a bit shit but even if that improves it doesn't alter the feeling that the game has gone bye bye and it's now just a product for the people that can afford it and is manipulated by money men and politics, will someone take it round the back of the barn and put this shitshow to an end please? :)

Have you watched the PL games and the CL games recently? It's a procession of dross serving up more dross week by week by week, rules changing all of the time and all the will the till ringing whilst match goers politely clap the mediocrity played out in front of them week by week.

Am I hoping for a better 2025? I'm not optimistic unless the present system crashes and burns.

Morrissey has a new album out. It's going to be a fantastic year!

You've got to take the joys from life when you can get them, I am looking for another obsession since footie changed and the world has gone a bit odd.

I'm thinking evangelical Christianity, white suit froth round my mouth or maybe an Islamic hate preacher.

City aside, possibly the best ever, but I know it could all turn around in a heartbeat, and that life has a habit of reminding you how brutal it can be when you least expect it.

Hope anyone who’s had a shit year, has a much better one next year.

Covered bridges is the new way forward

Covered bridges is the new way forward

In general terms, what is the purpose of the covering? Is it simply decorative, or does it serve any practical function?
