Guys
I am taking a sabbatical from this site with immediate effect. The reason is that my partner is seriously ill suffering from Pancreatic Cancer with Secondaries to the Liver & Ribs.
At this point there is no timeline from the doctors, however she is a retired GP and has suggested that it is likely to be weeks or months and not years.
I intend to spend my time looking after her in the best way I can, hopefully allowing us some quality time together. She hates football but strangely has become a Spurs fan over the years.
There are numerous posters on here that I respect and like without necessarily agreeing with their views, including some rival ones like Brummie Blue.
To all of you I urge you to understand what is really important in life, bickering on here is not really important. I would ask that you are kind to others and more especially those who are close to you that you love, you never know what is around the corner………….sadly I do.
I wish happiness and good health to all of you, yes even you sizzle!
GG

Prayed for you both GG, I think you're absolutely right that the focus needs to be understanding what's really important in life, especially at a time like this.

Best wishes from the Scottish boards too. You are doing the right thing. Hopefully, the madness of JA can provide some smiles, continuity and companionship if and when the worst happens. Even Spurs might do better this season. Take care.

Seconded from the Scottish boards. All the best, mate, and very well said in your OP.

That's very sad news GG. Certainly puts football in to context. Life is short and I think for men in particular there is an inbuilt need to fill in part with something that meets our natural competitive, tribal instincts. But at the end of the day it is no more than that and certainly not something that should be the most important thing in our lives, people are, and I am sorry to hear for your nearest and dearest. All the best. Hope Spurs can bring you a little joy this season 🙏

Sorry to hear the news GG. I wish you and your partner all the best wishes for the future and I am sure that I speak for everyone on here (whoever they support) when I say that. We all have far more in common on here than whatever divides us.

Sorry to hear that GG. I wish you and your family strength during this difficult time.
