The magic of a new season... Away at Sunderland, Magic Minute
To celebrate the return of proper football, everyone can have 2 guesses.
Any new players ... simple rules. Guess the time of the first goal of the match. (BBC times are the official ones.) One guess (usually) for Away games, 2 if we are playing at Home.
Winner gets 3 points for an exact guess. Anyone within 1 minute, if there's no winner, gets a consolation point.
Sometimes I make up new rules.... -
Sunderland (A) Saturday 16th August 3pm
Opening match of the season, let's hope we have a better time of things than last season.
ASLEF, have at it. -
West Ham v Lille - Friendly
Back from game for my dad’s bday. Thought it was a deserved win. We could have easily been 2 or 3-1 up over the course of the second half with the chances we created. First half was a bit slow & lacklustre (pre-season for you!). Bowen was the only bright spark & it is a concern how much we rely on him. Second half thought we dominated in terms of chances & we were much better with our intensity & press - as shown by the equaliser which was deserved. Shoot-out was fun & a nice way to end, I was sat behind that goal too.
Special shout out to Diouf. Probably the best player aside of Bowen. Todibo & CM still concerns me, as does this formation with Bowen as a striker. -

Masuaku having a medical at Sunderland today. -
Couldn't think - June 2025 onwards
Thanks for asking, I actually saw the GP yesterday and one of the diabetes nurses today, they've been very pro-active since I first saw the GP last Monday (phoned me Tuesday, saw GP again Wednesday, diabetes nurse at a difference practice in the same group phoned immediately, saw me 5 minutes later, gave prescription, took blood, phoned me Saturday with part of my blood results and upped dose on meds, phoned me Tuesday and then as I say, GP yesterday to go over blood results and he also gave me a shot against pneumonia and meningitis, and a different nurse today to do a diabetes check-up).
The meds combined with reducing my carb intake has seen my morning blood glucose start to fall; I have to do a self test with a drop of blood every morning to check it. The main blood test also revealed a slightly high cholesterol level but, as it seems with many things, the diabetes makes this a bigger risk so I'm on statins for that now, and also I am on the verge of hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) which I've got to be tested for again in a couple of months (along with check ups on most of these other things). The GP thinks I may well have to start taking tablets for that as well.
On the plus side my blood pressure is normal, my weight is healthy and I could feel it when she pricked my feet lol. I have got a sore arm from the injection yesterday though lol. -
