Sign up now! Sign up now! Sign up now? Sign up now!Oof. Eek! Yikes. Woof! Tuesday’s final score sheet might show three draws and West Ham edging a mid-table battle, but this was another white-hot night of Premier League action. There were great goals, brilliant saves, hair pulls, late wobbles, Pep talks and some of the worst defending seen in the Barclays multiverse. Where to start? Well, why not at the Potterdome, where the Hammers rediscovered the concept of pressing after the fatally languid Julen Lopetegui era. The result was two goals gleaned from errant Fulham passes at the back, a platform the hosts clung on to as Fulham fought back, recording 21 shots to West Ham’s four but losing the game 3-2. “The best team didn’t win, but we have to be strong at both ends. We gave West Ham two goals,” fumed Marco Silva afterwards.A doctor doesn’t differentiate when a patient is coming from a different city. A lawyer doesn’t, either. If you like, I’m Dr Football.

It’s such a common theme that I’ve given a lecture on the subject: Why are other people so awful? To help you into the new year, here’s my advice on this most commonly experienced problem.Struggles in connecting to others – or, more specifically, the tension between wanting connection and feeling disconnected – can manifest in many ways. As well as difficulties in existing relationships, such struggles can also make you feel lonely or alienated. Continue reading...
