    I like us to win games as much as anybody but just can't psych myself up to get annoyed about losing a football match at the moment. Unless it's against Wednesday of course ;)

    The Battle of Klushino, or the Battle of Kłuszyn was fought on 4 July 1610, between forces of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and the Tsardom of Russia during the Polish–Muscovite War, part of Russia's Time of Troubles

    I thought EVERYBODY knew that one....

    I don’t get this binary thing, it really isn’t a case of you can be upset at a or upset at b, I’m personally alarmed, upset and worried about the fact that there were over 1600 deaths recorded yesterday AND I’m a bit pi*8ed off about last night’s result.

    I usually spend 45 minutes shouting, cursing, and moaning. Then I relax with a cuppa for 15 minutes, then repeat for the second half. I get so frustrated and angry that it's becoming a little embarrassing. But as soon as the final whistle goes, I'm all stress free and I go back to thinking rationally again. Weird.

    I wasn't at all like that when we could sit in the stadium. Football just seems to be a release valve at the moment. I have to say that, love them or hate them, the standard of referees helps in that regard. As does our play in the final third...

    War led to 300 years of Romanov rule.

    FYI ‘‘Twas also the year when Galileo discovered the three moons of Jupiter n’all. Remember that from my Astronomy studies. When I was a student at the university of life. (Google:)) :rolleyes:

    I didn't say that, just said at the moment I can't get annoyed. Still want us to win. Think it's time I took a short break from here before I post something I regret. Play nice. Please note this is a tactical withdrawal not a flounce;)
