The way that we have become a country of hysterics, reacting to anything with fits of rage, panic or over the top melodrama. Everything is an extreme now, nobody will, or is allowed to, change their minds without being criticised. It's making life impossible. It's what has ruined politics - there is no compromise allowed.

Didn't hurt, just very scratchy! Really pleased.
 

No, that's my arm.

I was at Bon Iver in Leeds on Wednesday which was absolutely fantastic. Odd venue though, with a crowd that had a weird atmosphere to it. Saw people fighting afterwards which is bizarre considering the sort of music Bon Iver play.
Bagged a pair of tickets to Blink 182 next year too!

Where we live, the 4 or 5 streets around us print off posters that tell people whether we welcome trick or treaters or not so it's obvious where to knock.
Those who join in have a great evening, everyone is polite and friendly. Those who don't aren't bothered by the festivities.
I never used to join in until we had Ziggy, but he really enjoys it. We always carve pumpkins though and use them to make pumpkin pie. Pick them ourselves.
Nowhere near how it was when I lived in America though. Shows like Stranger Things completely nail what halloween and trick or treating is like over there. Before all the monsters/upside down stuff starts anyway.

Edmundson at Ipswich - L1

There is a huge amount of overreaction going on in our fanbase.
We have a very unbalanced squad made up of youngsters and veterans. We can't recruit properly due to the ongoing conditions related to administration.
Internally the club is being slowly rebuilt after mass redundancies and resignations.
We have a management team asking players to buy into a new style and commit themselves to aggressive, pressing and demanding football. Some of them may not have the fitness or mentality needed. It will take until at least Christmas to work out which players those are, and possibly longer to move them out and replace them. We also don't have a squad big enough to drop them.
Last night was dreadful. But to be honest, it was clear from before kick off how much this meant to Exeter. Their fans were loud and going for it before the players came out and if that excitement was mirrored by the players, it was always going to be difficult.
We're not going to be consistent at the moment, our squad options are minimal and, as Warne said last night, it's a lovely group of lads who are way too nice for League 1 football. Hourihane I don't think can do this style of football and Bird is better suited to Championship/PL football. He isn't a L1 player.
The basic thing Warne will be demanding is intensity, pace and aggression. Some will do it, some won't.
Lastly, I don't know where the expectation of promotion came from? If it happens, great, but realistically, a top 10 finish should be seen as successful bearing in mind everything that has happened in the last few years.
