BA Matthews @benamatthews.bsky.social · 14/12/2024That’s fair enough. It certainly is completely different for everyone and I appreciate you sharing your thoughts. It’s cool to hear. Thankfully, I’m okay, but we are all on a journey in our own way and it’s great to hear a snapshot of yours. Take care. 010
BA Matthews @benamatthews.bsky.social · 14/12/2024… although it sometimes results in me taking onboard their issues and it can be a real toll on my own wellbeing, and leaves me little time to focus on myself. The unconscious choices as you put it, are sometimes tricky to recognise or understand. It adds to the load… How can you combat that? 110
BA Matthews @benamatthews.bsky.social · 14/12/2024to take hold. I understand that there will never be a ‘straight answer’ that will be appropriate for everyone, but what you have said is an inspiration as a starting point. I always try and take the approach that people have the best positive intentions which leaves me vulnerable in many ways… 110
BA Matthews @benamatthews.bsky.social · 14/12/2024Well, thank you for sharing. That’s very generous of you and extremely admirable that you want to help others who are struggling. It’s such a positive thing that you seem to have such a solid framework in terms of how to deal with negative influence and can recognise when these influences are likely 110
BA Matthews @benamatthews.bsky.social · 14/12/2024Hi! Sorry to be intrusive - and feel free to not share in an open forum - but I just wanted to ask how you cut such people out? It’s hard to not be drawn back without feeling guilty. 110

BA Matthews @benamatthews.bsky.social · 03/12/2024PATTY DAKA!!!! 🇿🇲 What a finish!! Get in! #LCFC 🦊 010
BA Matthews @benamatthews.bsky.social · 03/12/2024Bilal!!!! 2-0!! 🇲🇦 🦊 …and Kasey, fair play, great decision for the assist. Calm and composed. #LCFC 000
BA Matthews @benamatthews.bsky.social · 03/12/2024Well, despite being under the cosh for a lot of that first half, it feels more positive. Not sure McAteer should stay out there much longer - far too much of a gap between him and Justin. No shield or outlet for the right back. Kasey offers little in attack either… #LCFC 🦊 000
BA Matthews @benamatthews.bsky.social · 25/11/2024That certainly would put the cat among the pigeons! I’d certainly be up for it, but the £££ worries me! 000
BA Matthews @benamatthews.bsky.social · 25/11/2024Absolutely. Potter is my choice for the reasons I outlined under the Moyes comment - just didn’t want to come across too biased by leading with him!! 010

BA Matthews @benamatthews.bsky.social · 25/11/2024Arizona Fraudinals - great win for the #Seahawks but AZ were paper tigers, not as good as their record had them appearing to be. We need to get our run game going though… the lack of rhythm is a concern. Anyhow, for now, let’s enjoy the win and #GoHawks 🔵🟢 000
BA Matthews @benamatthews.bsky.social · 24/11/2024Genooooo…. Nooooooo why, oh, why?! #Seahawks … we always have to make it hard on ourselves. Scramble for the first, or go down for the FG if you can’t make it… … no need to force the issue there, already up 10!!! 000

BA Matthews @benamatthews.bsky.social · 24/11/202415 missed tackles for the Niners in the first half tonight! Love to see it! 🧀 000
BA Matthews @benamatthews.bsky.social · 24/11/2024I heard bits and bobs of it… I can’t believe Lampard was suggested towards the end!! No way!! 110
BA Matthews @benamatthews.bsky.social · 24/11/2024I hope that you’re right. I’m just a little concerned for the reasons I said above. He would bring a level of excitement though, for sure! 100
BA Matthews @benamatthews.bsky.social · 24/11/2024Yeah, I find it difficult to understand why some are so determined that it should be Ruud… he left PSV under a cloud & appeared to be a divisive figure among fans & wider club during his time there. Worry about some PSV fans who’ve said the team weren’t fighters under him, which is what we need. 000
BA Matthews @benamatthews.bsky.social · 24/11/2024Why’d it have to be LJ Collier?! Frustrating! #Seahawks 010
BA Matthews @benamatthews.bsky.social · 24/11/2024Yeah, I completely agree. I guess that’s why I mentioned I don’t think it’s realistic. Cool to think about though! Any other suggestions? 110
BA Matthews @benamatthews.bsky.social · 24/11/2024Stack those Ws! 🔵🟢 #Seahawks hauled themselves out of their malaise last wk. Can they now take down the NFC West leading #Cardinals? 🔑 Contain Murray/Conner & AZ’s dynamic run game on the edge 🔑 Continue the OL improvement (Olu at C, Abe 100% at RT) 🔑 Maximise JSN again (AZ weak vs slot) #GoHawks 010
BA Matthews @benamatthews.bsky.social · 24/11/2024Oooff!! Well that certainly tickles my sentimental side, but I fear that would be an act of self harm unfortunately! 100
BA Matthews @benamatthews.bsky.social · 24/11/2024🦊 Terzic - timing could mean this is their target in an attempt to beat West Ham to his signing. Can’t see this one as realistic, though. 120
BA Matthews @benamatthews.bsky.social · 24/11/2024🦊 De Zerbi - long shot due to compensation that would be due, but going through a tumultuous time at Marseille… Unlikely to want to give up just yet, but you never know! Is the PL as much of a calling to him as it is to others? 110
BA Matthews @benamatthews.bsky.social · 24/11/2024🦊 Knutsen - would be a slightly left field choice, but he would certainly get the team running! High press, fluid movement, lots to be excited about but can it translate to the PL level quickly enough? Just too much of a gamble, for now. 120
BA Matthews @benamatthews.bsky.social · 24/11/2024🦊 Corberan - poor record at Olympiacos, distinctly average record at West Brom, okay at Hudds, but hasn’t really ever set the world alight and it seems the Bielsa relationship drives the hype more than actual achievements. All sizzle and no steak. 110
BA Matthews @benamatthews.bsky.social · 24/11/2024🦊 Van Bommel - fantastic single season with Antwerp, but seems a ‘one-season wonder’ thus far in his career. Too much of a wildcard. 🦊 Robins - some good memories of him at City, but lacks the experience managing a club with our level of infrastructure/player profile. Pass. 110
BA Matthews @benamatthews.bsky.social · 24/11/2024🦊 Van Nistelrooy - difficult to understand why some are so determined that it be him… left PSV under a cloud & appeared to be a divisive figure among fans & wider club during his time there. There’s an opinion that he struggled to motivate players against smaller teams. A scary rumour for us! 110
BA Matthews @benamatthews.bsky.social · 24/11/2024🦊 Potter - perhaps may irritate some parts of the fan base. Perception is that he’s rejected us twice before, so would have to work to get everyone on his side. Much more progressive and innovative coach than Moyes, though. Short term progress to stay up, long term innovation to remain & build? 120
BA Matthews @benamatthews.bsky.social · 24/11/2024Quick ‘first thoughts’ 🧵 on who could become the next Leicester manager. #LCFC 🔵⚪️ 🦊 Moyes - would be a slightly underwhelming choice. May instil some initial fight and character, but feels a short term appointment, at best. 430
BA Matthews @benamatthews.bsky.social · 24/11/2024Nice bloke, feel for him to a degree, but it never felt as though Steve Cooper was able to exert his authority or influence over the squad. A lack of identity & disjointed game plans week-to-week ultimately led to a lack of coherence on the pitch & connection to the fans off it… 🦊🔵⚪️ #LCFC 020
BA Matthews @benamatthews.bsky.social · 24/11/2024Who are you hoping for as a replacement? I’d like Potter, but I’m not sure if I’m being realistic… 100
