Looks like Iraola is getting some key players back just in time for the Wrexham game. After that 4-2 result in the first friendly, it’ll be interesting to see how this extra depth changes the rotation. Do you think they'll field a stronger starting XI this time around?

I'm hyperactive, and I know I can be clumsy sometimes, but when it comes to manual tasks, I'm actually quite precise. I have trouble concentrating, I tend to skim the surface when multitasking, I daydream constantly, I'm "organized-disorganized," and I'm fairly emotional. I haven't actually measured my intelligence, but I certainly don't feel lacking in the brain department. 🤣
In what way are you special, other than having to use right-handed tools? 😁
I'm not saying this to be rude or anything, I just don't really buy into this whole idea. There are intelligent people and less intelligent people, and there are lefties and righties; I guess I don't see why we need to emphasize some imaginary uniqueness for one specific group. 😁

Look, I never said *I* was special, I was saying *you* were. I don't even know if all these theories are actually true, but since I check almost all those boxes myself, I figured it wouldn't hurt to mention it. What I find kind of silly about your post, though, is that claim along the lines of "oh, anyone can just learn to write with their left hand." If you actually understood the subject, you'd realize it isn't just about writing; the whole phenomenon is way more complex than that 🙂. Anyway, in my family, it's the same deal where my brother and I are both lefties even though our parents are right-handed, and my aunt on one side is ambidextrous. So, maybe there are a few more of us out there than we think, haha.

Anyway, I guess I am a little bit special after all, being a lefty 🥳

Sam Hayes said:The hand you use to write is really just a matter of habit, nothing more than that... if I truly wanted to, I suppose I could train myself to be left-handed, much like how any lefty could probably learn to use their right.
Though, I have to admit—Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and so many other legendary artists were lefties... yet here I am, a righty, and I still seem to have a knack for art.😍
So, I’m not buying into all those stories about lefties being inherently special; honestly, the only thing that makes you unique is the fact that you're a minority.😛

God, what a load of nonsense! I mean, I guess I could probably train myself to write with my right hand too, but it’s not about practice—it’s about what actually feels natural to you. Anyway, speaking as a lefty myself here... I feel like my perception is better than average, I've always been drawn to art, and I'm definitely hyperactive. I think those things actually hold water. As far as IQ goes, sure, not every lefty is sitting at a 140, but about 30% of Mensa members are left-handed even though we make up less than 10% of the population. So, I guess the statistics do suggest we might be a bit sharper. But there are definitely downsides to this "specialness." I struggle to focus, I tend to skim through tasks instead of being thorough, and I can spend hours lost in a daydream which just kills my productivity. Plus, I'm disorganized and a bit clumsy. These are all classic lefty traits, so we just have to deal with them, along with all that gear like scissors and various drawer handles that are designed exclusively for righties as if they're the only ones on the planet using them.
