Taking a break. Struggling to navigate ADHD burnout. Tottenham Hotspur fan. Trying to be better. Trying to be part of something. My family have been Spurs since the beginning, when our colours were navy blue, and we played on Tottenham marshes. #COYS

Been struggling with burnout. Mental health not the best. Making connections never been easy. Time to take a break, reflect, search for meaning.

“Life is never made unbearable by circumstances, but only by lack of meaning and purpose.”

So long – we'll always have Bilbao. Forever #COYS. 🫶

At least you and Porro are cool and well liked. I'm the Reguilón of COYSky – a once happy chappy folk kind of half liked to have in the team, now muted so far into oblivion, nobody quite knows if I'm still here or in the MLS or what.

Surprised the route does not take in Titty Hill, Balls Cross, Fanny Hands Lane, Wetwang, Minge Lane, Butt Hole Road, and Assloss. Missing out there.

I like to put ketchup AND mayo on my chips. No shame.

A young leader not a bad idea actually.

Goes to show, a beleaguered manager keeping players motivated and believing while being constantly panned is no mean feat. Easy to crumble. Easy to give in. Hard to push through win a trophy with those players.

Ruben Amorim says his main issue at Manchester United is players believing the media narrative that his system is a problem.

Scientists revive old Bulgarian recipe to make yogurt with ants. Ants carry lactic and acetic acid bacteria that help coagulate milk, as well as formic acid to acidify it. They even partnered with Danish chefs to create three recipes using ant yogurt. arstechnica.com/science/2025...

I've not seen anything serious, only jokes, which were obviously jokes. But I'm careful about who I follow and have on my lists, so perhaps I just don't see the nonsense? Still hard to class the odd random post as a groundswell, though, right?

hal was here @hal.thelastboyscout.uk · 5d

Oh sure, I've made jokes too. A bit of gallows humour is normal right?

See, this is exactly why I am considering swapping Salah for him. Now I wish I'd taken the plunge. Dammit.

Also, Semenyo is a fine two sided, two-footed winger a club looking for a top notch left winger could use...

A club that also happens to have an international teammate there already... 🤔

People here on Bluesky?

hal was here @hal.thelastboyscout.uk · 5d

Indeed, but even so, I've honestly not seen a single post suggesting that. If it's a debate raging on other toxic platforms (which I don't really buy is happening anyway) it does no good to bring it over here as it is just needless provocation.
