Stop being so considerate in situations where you are not even considered. Kindness is a gift, not an obligation. You will be drained if you keep pouring into people who don't reciprocate. Your kindness is a strength, but when it comes at the expense of your own well-being, boundaries, or self-respect, it becomes self-abandonment.
Protect your spirit and well-being.
Redirect your warmth toward those who reflect it back to you.

‘Where are you from you’re very articulate’ is a 10/10 compliment

I think I’ve truly given up on the idea of love. Maybe a bit premature cos I’m only 31 but I think I’m done with it now actually

@mufcytp @TheSunFootball That audio just makes the decision even worse, "nothing in that" for Trossard on Pablo when he didn't even see the whole incident, it.really stinks I'm afraid. If you are going to call a review, make sure you show the ref everything!

West Ham vs Arsenal VAR transcript in full, via @TheSunFootball:
VAR Darren England: Possible foul on keeper. Watch has gone.
AVAR Akil Howson: Goal given.
AR1 Dan Cook: I don’t see any foul on the goalkeeper.
REF Chris Kavanagh: On-field decision is goal.
VAR: Checking the on-field decision of goal. OK, let’s play it through, let’s play it through. Let’s just get a feel now. So, the keeper there… Then it’s just a shot. So, it’s literally just a possible foul on Raya, what I’m seeing in terms of that.
AVAR: Yeah, and to make sure he doesn’t have it in his hand.
VAR: OK, let’s get a tighter angle on the goalkeeper please. On the Arsenal goalkeeper.
RO: Yeah.
VAR: This one. Slow it down, frame by frame. For me, there is a foul. Potential foul with the arm. His hand is holding his arm down. That’s impactful, for me. The left arm there, is holding, is across the body. He’s across the head and he’s holding the left arm of Raya, there. Which impedes his ability to get to the ball properly. Doesn’t look that impactful from that angle.
RO: I’ve got a pole cam angle.
VAR: Give us pole cam.
AVAR: It’s like, Raya… Because that contact we’ve got there, we’ve got…
VAR: Just keep delaying. Just checking possible foul on the goalkeeper.
AVAR: You’ve got that straight behind him as well, look.
VAR: Yeah.
RO: I’ll go back to the original angle.
VAR: Yeah. But this happens before.
RO: Do you want to see it at full speed?
VAR: Yes please. Is it impactful on the goalkeeper that, for me. Go back to the second angle you showed me, the second angle.
RO: No problem, just going to look now.
AVAR: Can you do a split screen on both of them as well?
VAR: This one here, this one. Yeah, give us a split screen. That one and then the first angle.
RO: OK, goal line?
VAR: No, sorry, this one and this one, thank you.
AVAR: I don’t like Trossard not facing the ball and you’ve got… I agree, it’s impactful, it’s just everything else that’s going on as well. Let’s say we’re saying that’s a foul, then what are we saying about Trossard’s actions on the same player? What are we saying about Declan Rice behind?
VAR: Yeah. He still gets a hand to the ball, doesn’t he? When he’s getting to the ball.
AVAR: What’s your initial opinion as you watched it?
VAR: I think, for me, we send him for an on-field review to look at the possible foul on the goalkeeper. And then we get him to look at the other incidents as well. I think that’s the best decision in terms of this. OK.
Chris, I’m going to recommend an on-field review for a possible foul on the goalkeeper but there are some other incidents to look at while you’re at the monitor as well.
REF: OK.
VAR: So, I’m going to show you a possible foul on the goalkeeper.
RO: This angle?
REF: OK.
VAR: The left arm of Pablo comes across Raya and holds onto the left arm of Raya as he goes to win the ball.
REF: Yeah.
VAR: I’m showing you that now.
REF: I can see the clear holding on him across.
VAR: Yeah, but then I’m just going to show you some, obviously, other angles on that incident, of players.
REF: OK.
AVAR: You’ve got Declan Rice and you’ve got Trossard.
REF: I don’t know what you’re trying to show me, give me a clue.
VAR: Trossard on Pablo. Just if you look at Trossard on Pablo. Give me a better angle on that.
VAR: I’ll get you a better angle.
REF: I don’t think there’s much in that at all, I’m happy with that.
VAR: Yeah, OK.
REF: That’s nothing.
VAR: And then if you just want to consider the actions of Declan Rice on Mavropanos at the back. But the foul happens on the goalkeeper before.
REF: Before it, so… After review, West Ham number…
VAR: 19.
REF: 19. Foul. Just confirm his number again for me.
VAR: 19.
VAR: Yeah, confirmed.
REF: Mic open.
REF: After review, West Ham number 19 commits a foul on the goalkeeper. Final decision is direct free kick.

🚨Tottenham v Leeds🚨
Tottenham haven’t won a Premier League home game for 5 months
Leeds haven’t lost a Premier League away game for 5 months
Genuinely don’t know what to think about this game.

@WestHamPlace Doubt there will be much of a waiting list for season tickets 26/27!

@ChimeWhistle Only the UK could take ages to build a new line, then not run any passenger trains on it.

I had a candid chat with a source very close to East West Rail. He said three things have screwed it up 1) Heidi 2) DfT 3) Weak Chiltern managers who allow themselves to be bosses around by HR. The infamous email from Chiltern's HR does rather prove the latter.
Roger Ford@Captain_Deltic
Just been scrolling through the responses to DfT's post about the date for GWR's return to state ownership. Grim Could DfT just shut up for the rest of the year and DFTO start speaking for the railway. We need to manage expectations.

Meet the new deputy mayor of Hackney UK. He wants to ban landlords earning profit.

West Ham United have lost all five of their home London derbies in the Premier League this season. No team in English league history has ever lost six home games against fellow London teams in a season.

@BekaahOrr I would pay it and charge your "friend" a small amount of interest on the 25% they didn't give you.
English
I need advice…
I let a friend pop something on my credit account and agreed they’d send me the money they’ve paid 75% of it off but the final payment is due in less than a month and they’ve told me they are super skint…
Do I just pay it so I don’t ruin my credit score🫠
