Bring back Bucko as a player.. He is a free agent now...

I had a Chris Martin one. Lent it to some bloke in London... I better get it back. Tea in my Darren Bent one has not been quite the same.

I think we should link ourselves with some awful players so Newcastle and Villa buy them... 

OCD is a strange illness. You do the compulsions and rituals to prevent the anxiety of the intrusive thoughts. My therapy involved not ignoring the thoughts or avoiding the activities which caused the anxiety but instead doing them and thinking them without performing the rituals and compulsions. It is amazing how the avoidance and the rituals increase our anxiety while actually doing the activities and letting the thoughts happen reduces the anxiety. Hard process but worth it. 

A good example is when I went on the podcast for the first time. Every part of my brain said don't do it and avoid. But I have learnt to ignore the part of my brain that is registering the danger. It is wrong. Like a faulty thermostat. If one person has done it I can too and the anxiety eventually fades. If I had avoided then the anxiety would continue. 

I am just working on leaving the house and checking the door once now. Simple things that cause a lot of anxiety with OCD. 

I suffer from OCD and BDD. I am currently having cognitive behavioural therapy and making great improvements. As soon as you admit to yourself that it is an illness and allow yourself to be treated and follow the advice given then it can make a huge difference.
