    [Football] It's called getting older

    Yep. My view is that because GOMS is such a thing, and always has been, I suspect it is a survival mechanism: if you have managed to survive (to your 30s, the typical human lifespan till fairly recently - things started to improve for the plebs only around 200 years ago) then it is to your...

    [Football] It's called getting older

    A propos the Westy comment to which you replied.....I was tempted to start a poll inspired by my own experience of the 1970s and our European visitors: Tidy, or Full Bush? ???

    You have a mate? I find that hard to believe. ??? :wink:

    [Football] It's called getting older

    Precisely. The pecking order has always changed. We once had long periods of dominance by Liverpool, then ManUre. Now we have Chelsea, Citeh, Spuds and Newcastle with enough gelt to win the league. The fact that we are in the same division, after 100 years of largely being badly run, unambitious...

    [Football] It's called getting older

    I went through a phase in the late 80s of embedding myself in music of the past (79-85 for me) then in the 90s gave my head a wobble, and embraced the new.

    That's fine. The age thing was aimed at those for whom it is . . . an age thing, and who seem to think that everything is turning to shite. Regular NSC posters too :facepalm: I am not disputing that individual issues in life can go into reverse, and there are often anomalies in the trajectory...

    I'm very lucky that I seem to be immune to developing grumpy old man syndrome. Arguably I was a grumpy young man, which is why I don't perceive that things are getting 'worse'. But I have always understood that things really are getting better, rather than worse, as poor old @sydney seems to...

    :ROFLMAO: :LOL: You guys, look at you all, getting older.

    [Football] It's called getting older

    Since there is a proliferation of threads bemoaning the state of football and how nasty it is, being in the premier league, I thought I'd start a counter thread about this. It's called getting older, jaded, sadder, creakier, more irritable etc. Pull you bloody selves together, FFS!
