Schadenfreude

The title is a German word meaning 'shameful joy', or taking pleasure in something bad happening to someone who isn't you.

It's all that's keeping me sane right now.

I'm in the midst of making higher education applications that could determine the rest of my life. I spent the day in a boiling warehouse drilling and edging bits of wood for my noddy summer job. I have traded my red-hot 5-a-side goalkeeping streak for Almunia's off-day, conceding 15 in three games (including tonight), as well as being beaten 5-0 while playing centre half in 11-a-side yesterday. Both of my ankles are swollen and I am sleepless from the heat, toting the grand-daddy of all migraines, and I am still having nightmares of Olivier Giroud's game-winning miss on the weekend...

But I'd go through all of that again, ALL OF IT...

...just to see United slump to another dismal 1-0 defeat. Now that truly DID put a big ol' smile back on my face.

Thank you, David Moyes and Everton, for making my life bearable right now. I salute you

I don't need counselling, Hippo. I have Man Utd. And it doesn't cost me anything

I am happy because AFC is doing good. It is just a matter of time to start winning when the players are in shape and gel together. Really don't care if MU/RVP losing or not... they are irrelevant.

I'm guessing you're going through clearing. I went through it already having seriously mucked up my A Levels. Now going to De Montfort. Decent Uni and I'm getting on with it. Made the decision in an hour.


Don't fret too long or you won't get anything
