    I was actually thinking about this earlier today. If someone would have told me we would be trailing behind City with only three points before the season, I would have been thrilled, it would normally mean we'd be very close to the top. Still, only 6 points or so from there to Arsenal on top. A very fun season, really, with so many teams able to take points of the best ones.

    Very yo-yo like, to say the least. Saw this stat last week about how Onana was apparently one of the best keepers in the league, while letting in the most goals in our Champions League group. And on the other hand we have Højlund, with no league goals but is/was the top scorer in the Champions League.

    Things you want to confess as a Guns N'Roses Fan? 😀

    I knew in my heart that The General (which is Soulmonster) wasn’t The General about a couple weeks before they leaked

    This was because of the comparison between State of Grace and "The General" (Monsters), which irritated me because they sounded nothing alike to me, so I wrote down sheet music based on both State of Grace and what we know now as Monsters (based on both the phone leak and Evader’s remix)

    Another poster asked me if The General (Monsters) was actually The General, and to prove him wrong I listened to the concert intro and the phone leak to compare them.

    I knew they were different. I knew, but in a confused state of confirmation bias I did my best to match them to the same tempo and key, just to hold on to the hope that The General truly was the 9 minute epic I dreamt it to be.

    It wasn’t, and when two titles were registered, I knew I was wrong. Then I was sent the songs. On The General I heard the concert intro strings. On Monsters I heard the motif I always loved throughout the past many years.

    I was wrong and this is my biggest shame as a MyGNR poster 4ever

    The cover art to Sublime's "40oz to Freedom" . It showcases my esoteric yet impeccable taste in music. The signature is just some quote I found funny/interesting, can't remember which. 

    I see that album art popping up here and there sporidacially. Always think of good old Soulie whenever I see it.

    One of the local ASBO Chav kids and his three mates threatened to assault me and steal my property on my evening walk last night. Right in my face shouting insults and they were going to smash my face in etc.

    I can't fight my way out of a paper bag, but it turns out something I was taught many years ago actually works. I didn't step towards them, I didn't step away from them. I just held a stance that would allow me to ride a punch or a push, and let them go off at me. No words, no smile, no fear. Just stood there, still.

    "Nobody wants to fight the guy who stands still, perfectly calm, and with no emotion. An emotionless man usually falls into two categories - they're either an absolute nutcase about to explode, or an experienced fighter who knows exactly what they're doing, and you don't want to take that risk"

     

    I, an admitted pussy when it comes to fighting, just bluffed my way out of a 4v1 situation and made them walk away, staring them down as they went :lol:

    God I need to take that advice! I got my ass kicked by a couple of guys a while back, I'm no fighter and those dudes were much larger much larger than me. Were it not for my big fucking mouth though... :lol:

    Good to hear you're alright!:slash:
