No, it doesn’t. I don’t have a lack of sympathy for gambling addicts, but I do have a lack of sympathy for someone who shouldn’t have ever been able to get to that point in the first place. The overwhelming majority of drug addiction begins with self-medicating to cope with another mental issue, not necessarily mental illness just something that the individual struggles to cope with. Indeed, a considerable number of homeless heroin addicts are heroin addicts because they’re homeless, not the other way round. I’m absolutely sure you’re intelligent enough to know that, and to be able to see the endless gulf between addiction that stems from an inability to mentally cope with something, and addiction that stems from simply doing something stupid. which is why I was surprised to see you make a Dev level straw man.
Strangely Pelly was always the one some Luton fans gave the most stick to on 3CR from division to division under manager after manager... he worked hard and was a great guy but 'wasn't good enough' for years!

Back on the subject of other football, I just saw an incredible mullet in the Luton crowd.
All time terrible commentary effort in this playoff final.
I read this as 'inflatable mullet'
Coventry have offered next to nothing in this match. I almost want Luton to win now.
The relief that bungling Coventry defender must have felt!
Really want luton to win this
What a story. Well done Luton. When a team comes third (aside from MK) you can't say it's truly unlucky for anyone else if they win the playoffs.
Chuffed they won
Is that 3 play-off wins for Fred?
Remarkable
Very much deserved, and I’m made up for Pelly-Ruddock - what a story.

I wonder if they'll extend his contract

coincidentally my tinder profile!
There really is nothing like the final day of the season
For contrived marketing of Skytv?
The playoffs are better
The FA Cup is better.
The World Cup is better
The Euros are better
The Copa America is better
There really is nothing like the playoffs
TNS back in training for their Champions League qualifiers tomorrow. It’s simultaneously this season and next season.
We are always in training @floyd
Random reminder that @drcongo had a permanent ' Away pubs' thread at the top of this message board
I mean people talk about Boris Johnson being hypocrytical. But that is simply breath-taking.
It’s not looking great for Hednesford Town, who are likely to fold. They had Leroy Lita in their ranks not too long ago.

TNS ?
Could someone please let me know when there is likely to be a truce in the Battle of the Badges, whatever that is.
This is blank.
