When everyone seems want instant success or have an entitlement to be told information. This time last year we had a chairman lying through his teeth about transfer targets and spending the clubs money on cars and flats and we didn’t even know if we’d be starting 2021 with a football club to follow. Lee Bowyer was the only constantly good thing about it keeping the supporters onside even though the football was a bit hit and miss. Now we have a good owner who wants to support club in the right way, build slowly on the foundation that’s in place, while Lee Bowyer does the same thing with his squad. Will the owner get it right everytime? Of course he won’t, will Lee Bowyer pick a winning side or get the tactics right for every game? Of course he won’t. Does it make them shit at their jobs? Of course it don’t.
But then again, I’m getting old what do I know🤷♂️

The you see things that aren't there and don't see things that are there. I've only just realised that @guinnessaddick's avatar is a picture of two mugs, on on top of the other. I always thought it was a chimp wearing a Charlton hat.
On my phone, I see Limeygent's avatar as a black & white minstrel wearing a beret.
You use your own experience of injuries to judge the injuries of a professional athlete just 5 years younger than you and realise your current injury would have you retire if you were also a pro.
You walk into the sitting room and spend a good 3 seconds talking to a lump of firewood, while you change a playlist, thinking it's one of your dogs. Only realised it weren't him when I was shocked to see him.on the sofa and done a proper shake of the head
My Dad is in the nervous 90's; he plays and misses a lot now, my mum is down the other end and tells him no quick singles. She tells him to block and see out the over. He listens but his short term memory is going so he takes a mighty swipe at the next ball !
I want him to raise his bat to the pavilion and receive a standing ovation for reaching a century. His navy mates who took on the Germans and the Japanese are all out now. Some were out in their late teens and early 20's.

Had the exact same thing myself a month or two ago
So poignant @RedChaser.
