Pressure in a friendly? Absolute claptrap I admire your stoicism, Mark! To me it’s a bit like being given the elbow by a girlfriend of 11 years, then your mum invites her and her new man round for Xmas dinner. You have to sit there watching how well they’re getting on as you push your brussels round your plate.

You have to sit there watching how well they’re getting on as you push your brussels round your plate. Although in this example, the difference is that the "girlfriend" has said that she's still a fan of her ex (and always will be!). The current relationship is simply a more convenient affair - the new fella only lives 30 minutes down the road and so is more conveniently located. She admits she's still very much in love with her old flame but the long distance nature of the relationship was taking its toll on the family!

You should make sure your new girlfriend makes you happy so don’t concern yourself about your ex and her new man. They should be looking at you and your partner than the other way round.

I've been seen making the same analogy...a number of times But in this case, I don't think the Christmas dinner analogy is fair. It's more your ex and new partner have invited you to have a drink and a chat down the pub, to make it clear there are no hard feelings. You don't have to go. If you say you appreciate the offer but can't make it, they will be much more OK with it than your mum would be if you boycotted her Christmas dinner.

I am not sure but I think the season we got relegated we won all our friendlies, including beating Brentford 3-0 if my memory serves me right?
Its much easier to fix something that isn't working than to repair something which doesn't appear broken..

Yeah I remember something similar. Like I said, bad dress rehearsal, good performance...

At this rate they may as well call themselves Sutton Reserves...

I'd happily have Tony's sloppy seconds as well. Sprouts are basically bonsai cabbages, and nothing could be more awesome than that.
