Personally I'd find being a PL footballer with the associated scrutiny and high stakes more stressful, than a menial job with no consequences if I'm having an off day. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about working on minimum wage doing 40/50 hours in a factory etc? Idiotic comments. Some people still don't get that stress isn't solely based on money or supposed quality of life. I know the term stress and depression can get mixed up, but there's still a dismissiveness that wealthy people shouldn't have anything to negatively impact their mental state of mind. If only it were that simple. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brucey Posted 13 August 2018 Share Posted 13 August 2018 Negatives of being a PL footballer: - Constant 24/7 stream of verbal abuse, on the pitch and on social media. - Intense scrutiny for any mistakes, one particularly silly mistake and it gets made into a gif/clip and shared around forever to be laughed at. - Lack of privacy, go somewhere nice on vacation and there will be paparazzi taking pictures from the bushes to write an article in the Daily Mail about your missus' clothes and body. - Health risks, wreck your body and get early onset arthritis and dementia, not to mention increased risk of various addictions Positives of being a PL footballer: - Lots of money - A fun job (as long as you're actually starting) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jattdogg Posted 13 August 2018 Share Posted 13 August 2018 Every job has its stresses that you cant compare to a paramedic or factory worker or porn star etc. How people react/cope with stress matters as well. Apples/oranges lads 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just mad up story about stress while he was signing deal with Madrid and it actually shows lack of knowledge he has about stress or any mental illness and comparing PL footballer to random minimum wage factory worker is ridiculous and deserves a L OL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxfanazer Posted 13 August 2018 Share Posted 13 August 2018 (edited) Even Robbie Savage was trying to make out Pogba had an outstanding game on Friday night. To be fair he also told a Spurs fan they’ve won nothing and are unlikely to do so anytime soon so he has his positives Edited 13 August 2018 by foxfanazer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to have social media...then i deleted it over 5 years ago. Think people need to recognize social media is not a good thing. People can write and say anything about you (with some anonymity) which of course can lead to bullying, depression etc. Employers use social media (twitter/instagram/facebook) to fire you. Others use it to paint you in a bad light. It just makes sense not to use it at all. People are addicted to it and need to recognize its probably just not worth it. Depression is an awful beast in itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Collar Posted 13 August 2018 Share Posted 13 August 2018 The stress on Simpson's and Amartey's face when they get the ball is unbearable. As if they have been given custody of an unpinned grenade. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzie the Fox Posted 13 August 2018 Share Posted 13 August 2018 (edited) Quite an interesting article & poll from Sky sports today, regarding which goal keeper made the best saves over the course of the weekend. An overwhelming 50% have voted for De Gea (you can see the results when you vote.) And 5% for Kasper. Im not sure if i am happy as it showed we had a good shot on target or that Kaspers save was so low down the list. The article and poll is here.

As for Arsenal today they just don't have the personnel to play out from the back, Granit Xhaka somehow was given a new contract, he's garbage and should be nowhere near their starting 11. Going forward they were wasteful, they'll look much better in the next week or so, another big game though where Ozil did fvck all. I wonder if this season will be a transitional one from one Silva to another as Bernardo slowly replaces David? If that is the case then Pep played a blinder in buying in a player who not only showed lot of promise in his first season but also was happy to sit on the bench and bides his time.

jammie82uk Posted 13 August 2018 Share Posted 13 August 2018 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/45177215 Tottenham delay move to new stadium over 'safety issues' Tottenham have delayed the opening of their new stadium because of "issues with the critical safety systems". Spurs had been expected to play their first game at the new ground on 15 September against Liverpool but that match has now been switched to Wembley. Tottenham's following home game against Cardiff on 6 October has also been moved to Wembley. A venue for their Premier League game against Manchester City on 28 October is currently 'to be confirmed'. An NFL fixture between Seattle Seahawks and Oakland Raiders, scheduled to be hosted on 14 October, will also now take place at Wembley instead of Spurs' new 62,062-seat arena, built on the site of their old White Hart Lane ground. Spurs had already agreed with the Premier League to play their first home game of the season, which is against Fulham on Saturday, at Wembley. A club statement read: "Recent testing and commissioning has now shown issues with the critical safety systems. "We are reviewing the situation and planned timetable to rectify and re-test, after which we shall be in a better position to outline a revised timetable. "The delays created by these difficulties mean that we can no longer hold the necessary test events on 27 August and 1 September. These will need to be rescheduled to take place ahead of any first official match at the new stadium in order to achieve the safety licence." Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy said: "We know this will be disappointing for all our season tickets holders, premium members and our fans worldwide. "At the start of the project we asked for your support during what we knew would be a complex and challenging build and now we ask for your continued patience and forbearance."

It was maybe a bit naive from Unai Emery but when you compare his CV with Big Sam's......there is no comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atmosphere will be far better than what West Ham's is currently purely for the fact the seats are quite close to the pitch. There's a huge run-off from pitch to seats at the Olympic Stadium.

There's no doubt he knows football, he's been in it long enough as a player and manager but he came across as incredibly smug, pompous and self satisfied and I'm not entirely sure why.

How do you see that on the Spurs stadium?? Agreed, the Spurs stadium has been designed specifically with atmosphere in mind, including the nod to the Dortmund wall stand. Probably half the reason it's delayed is how complex the design is.... ....Well that and the need to find a good AC unit to keep the cheese tasting room at an optimum temperature....
