I don't want to bore you all.

I'm just turned 35. My GF is 46 but looks and acts younger than me. I have a daughter of 11 and the GF has two daughters from her first husband. One is 24 a day ago and we supported her through sixth form and university which put us under huge financial stress but I wouldn't have it any other way.

Unfortunately her other daughter is physically and mentally disabled and we are trying to get various help because she had to leave special school three years early because of behavioural problems. It's a fucking nightmare to be honest. We've been together for 14 years and it puts a strain on the relationship. She is obsessed with me and will always be by my side often to the detriment of my relationship with my daughter. The things she does sometimes are beyond words. She can stay awake till all hours shouting and having tantrums and crying her eyes out. The doctors and specialists are a waste of time.

I have had 8 iviction notices this year due to taking out a loan to cover all the shit. I have become a miserable bastard to live with. My missus watched her sister die from MS at the age of 26 and her parents also fucked up her childhood. My parents divorced when I was ten and I barely see my father at all. Funerals is the only time I have seen him in the last ten years.

It goes on but I won't because I actually want you lot to talk to me again!

FM 2009 here I come!

Hope everything gets better soon

Don't worry mate, I'll keep posting, it's just that I don't feel as much of a part of the community as you all because I don't/ can't post as much.

Plus, plenty of people have it a whole lot worse than me. I can't complain.
Don't be hard on yourself. Fady never posts here but most of us see him as a part of us and the same goes for you and everyone else except Kipless.

Don't let post count determine something like that, else sub-communities, like Milan-GAF, wouldn't exist.

The market says yes. Our bar is looking for players we'll never get in January so any decent addition to our thin squad in Jan is good.
Market says no as well. If we can't get who we need in January go with what we have and wait until the summer.

Anytime bro. Hope things in your real life works out soon. It sounds like a huge depressing mess but just remember we have good and bad moments in life, and sometimes it take time to go through those very moments. Come chill here whenever you need a small break, we give people here good laughs for both good/bad reasons :p

and assuming we have bad luck and get some harsh injuries early on then who do we replace those injuries with? How will it affect the rotation of players? Unless you aren't aiming for any trophy this season.

Cheers Suen. I'm not one to get down but 14 years is a long time. FootyGAF is a community I didn't think would be allowed on Gaf due to the edgey content but I'm sure that everybody here really does get along. Banter is good.

And in the summer what happens to Vela when we want a top quality striker? Giroud, Vela and another star is too much. Not enough game time caused him to leave in the first place.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOL Cagliari's president in meltdown mode! Please read..

Radja Nainggolan “I haven’t received any offers and I am happy to play here at Cagliari.”

However, President Cellino spoke to the media after the game and painted a very different picture, apparently irritated by the fact the Stadio Sant’Elia still allows only 5,000 fans due to restructuring work.

“Nainggolan will definitely go. Not even in January, he can go tomorrow,” snapped the patron.

“He has six or seven clubs looking for him and I can’t keep hold of him again. It’s not an issue of money, as even if they give me less than his price-tag, he’ll still go. If he doesn’t want to go, I’ll send him away.

“We play in a stadium worthy of Serie C, the players had to travel all around Italy for two years because we weren’t allowed a home stadium. I can’t keep anyone in these conditions.

“From tomorrow anyone who wants to leave Cagliari is free to do so. Those who remain do so only if they want to and that’s their problem. I wouldn’t stay in this situation.

“Does that apply to Davide Astori too? It applies to everyone, I don’t rule anybody out.”

It sure is a long time but that also means those years got to mean something, right? I mean otherwise you don't just stay together for 14 years if you get me. I don't have your experience so I can't pretend and say how hard it is but keep it up man. Eventually something good must come out from it, whether for you, her or her daughter. Lots respect for dealing with it though!

Yeah, you learn a lot. But like I said, some people have it a whole lot worse. I'm lucky really.

I get what you mean, just adding players who seem decent will leave us with a problem in the summer where we have lots of dead weight to get rid of and I agree on that. But we have a buy back clause on Carlos Vela and he isn't that bad, he did pretty ok last season and I could see him as a better option to some of our other playes there now. Besides, if we do get him and he turns out to do a good job we can just get rid of players who barely contribute to the team (Bendtner).

Vela is primarily a right winger but but we could use him as a left winger or centre forward. In other words he could be used instead of Giroud when needed or he could take over Podolski's role. Vela had 36 apps last season with 14 goals and 12 assists. Podolski had 33 apps with 12 goals and 2 assists. Obviously there isn't a linear dependency between two leagues but imo he's a better player than our current options + we have a buy back clause so it doesn't look that bad.
