Excellent point.
Got me there.

And I wasn’t trying to be clever I say that as someone who has suffered bouts of depression over the last 15 years but also made some very poor lifestyle choices in that time which I have no doubt were a factor with the mental health. It’s the old chicken and egg scenario.
I loved Tomlin when he was on it and I wish him well. I hope he can get back on the field and back to in a good place mentally. Even if it’s just 20
minute cameos Wrexham fans will be in for a treat.
Fair play to him, hopefully he gets back some fitness as on the pitch he would still be far too good at that level if he is even at 90%.
No no I know you weren't mate, were all adults on here and we can have tidy conversations now and again ;)
I've been there myself, wasn't going to bring myself into it in the first reply but basically what I've realised over the last month or so is everything that was shit in my life, how I felt waking up, during the day, no motivation, tired, bad thoughts,, no desire to look after myself and basically work, sleep, eat, work.. staying in bed watching TV during my time out of work...it was all my own doing.
I've been Alan the gym 3 weeks, been eating well properly for just under 3 weeks (started a few days after first visit to the gym) I drink plenty of water..and honestly that's a cheat code in itself keeping hydrated and cutting out shirty soft drinks..I walk the dog a good hour or more and she's out on 2 small walks start and end of day for the toilet..all of thus is done with absolutely no effort I can't believe the change in myself in a short time.
Drugs, which were always sadly coming out after a few beersbibe done once in 6 weeks (2 weeks ago) and I've drank on 2 occasions in the same period.
I won't completely cut out alcohol, drugs are gone, dead, but I'll drink as and when I fancy it but at the moment I'm happy not to.
All the best to Lee he's great to watch.
Good luck to you as well, I know how hard it can be.
I got the jest of it :hehe:
I’m back in gym tomorrow. Went to London for weekend 2 weeks ago and had a full weekend on it so been making gym excuses for a fortnight. It don’t take much to get gym demotivated :hehe:
On the flip side because of the addictive personality once I’m back it will be every day without fail until the next blow out.
Have to remind myself how good he was 2 years ago, virtually getting us into the playoffs single handedly. Sad to think the rest of his time with us was such a non event. Will be interesting to see what he does at Wrexham
Even if, during the remainder of the season, he can conjour up 2 or 3 pieces of magic then turn draws into victories for Wrexham, and secure them a play off place or better, then they'll consider it money we'll spent. Wrexham have shown commitment to him and now it's Tomlins turn to repay that commitment.
Good luck to him.
It's all habits isn't it and making it as easy as possible for you to follow through on the good ones.
I would sometimes not bother going to the gym after work if I'd forgotten my headphones or wasn't quite feeling it. Guarantee if I went I'd have stayed and felt better, even if I didn't stay long it's all incremental gains.
No he might well not have been a Best nor a Maradona but he did possess special skills. Had he been truly fit he would have been the best player to have ever played at City. But as I mentioned in a previous thread, had he been that fit he would never have played for us.
In the end? i think he took the piss all the way, as I've said before. It was miraculous how he 'improved' just before his contract was due for renewal. But he soon reverted to form. I think he blagged the club, and other clubs.
He always flattered to deceive. I wouldn't wish him ill but i'm glad he isn't anything to do with Cardiff City.
Big time. He had a bit of class about him. That's it. His best days were with Peterborough and Rushden and Diamonds. He didn't work hard. That may have more to do with his attitude than his fitness. His fitness probably has more to do with his attitude than anything else.

He's signed for Doncaster.
On his latest addition, manager Gary McSheffrey said: “We’re really pleased. We know of Lee’s qualities and he’s had a fantastic career so far.
Has he really had a fantastic career so far?
I think he's had an unfulfilled career so far. With his undoubted ability, I think he could have achieved so much more.
Loved watching City with Tomlin in the side. Saw him play for R&D with a mate who was a ST holder back in the day. I’ll never give a kicking to someone who’s head’s not in the right place. He’ll have known well enough just what might have been. I actually agree with Dorcus on this one and yes, as JR mentioned, those FKs were what we pay for. I’d throw in the great comeback from 0-3 at Leeds too.
