it’s the jeopardy.
I'm not sure I follow so apologies if I've misunderstood, do you mean it's the risk of getting caught breaking the rules that makes it enticing?
Agreed, it's like when you sneak over your garden fence at midnight and masturbate into next door's wheelie bin.The adrenaline rush of doing something risky - breaking rules and losing your wages feed into the same pattern.
This deserves it's own thread.Agreed, it's like when you sneak over your garden fence at midnight and masturbate into next door's wheelie bin.

So what's the point of football?
Without meaning to derail this thread too much, for me football is community, as I’m sure it is for most. I got into Spurs as a 14 year in Sydney mostly by watching month-old replays (no live football on TV at that stage) and reading Spurs Monthly with other Spurs fans at a pub on the last Saturday of every month. Spurs were brick (early 2000s) but it didn’t really matter. I’ve lived in 3 countries and the Spurs supporters club has been first stop every time.
It’s lazy to blame everything on #modernlife but there’s no doubt social media has completely changed this, and not for the better. Instead of those monthly meetups, (now weekly thanks to every game being on TV) there’s people watching a 20 minute highlights package the following day with their phone in their hand complaining about everything.
Masturbating into wheelie bins, palming off centre backs...what is it with you and tossing?Agreed, it's like when you sneak over your garden fence at midnight and masturbate into next door's wheelie bin.
I am confused that people say it is a long ban, he bet hundreds of times, so I expected his ban to be hundreds of months i.e. career ending. I thought precedents indicated that but am too lazy to fully investigate? E.g. Joey Barton, that centre back we palmed off to Liverpool.

A lot of players come from "working class' backgrounds and when they have a lot of money they think they can do what they like without any consequences.
Saudi Sportswashing Machine 1 up. We play first on Saturday so if this stays the same we can go into 6th above Brighton even though they'll have 873,429 games in hand
I would rather Brighton win today and put Saudi Sportswashing Machine's CL spot in danger. Yes, EL would be preferable to ECL, but what would be even worse would be Saudi Sportswashing Machine getting a boost by qualifying for CL.Despite not getting the point we really needed at Villa. 6th place is really still up for grabs...IF we shape ourselves and finish with 2 wins...big ask. But at the start of the season when you saw the fixtures you would be fancying 6pts from these 2 games.
Finish on 63pts
Brighton will beat Soton at home, Draw with City Lose to Villa for 62pts or Lose to City. Draw with Villa 62pts
Villa could get a draw at Anfield, Beat Brighton 61pts 59pts if they draw with Brighton
It really is not beyond us, those results are not unreal, but as you say it's all about laying a marker down at Saturday lunch
