    Tomorrow's FA Cup Final

    I’m in London today for a different event and one of our party is a Utd fan who is keen to watch the game somewhere. Two minds over whether to join him and become the biggest Man City supporter for 90+ minutes, or leave him to it!

    Summer transfer window 2024

    Not too concerned re McCallum. I wasn’t his biggest fan first time round, albeit clearly saw the potential. I was suckered in to really wanting him by the fact he’s still young, experienced and the nostalgia of a returning player. Plus he still has plenty of room for improvement But if we go...

    Season tickets for 2024/2025 season

    Happily renewed the PP in Block 20, in the same seat I’ve sat in since we moved to the Ricoh/CBS. Thankfully the safe standing v singers corner debate doesn’t impact me, albeit it’s interesting reading. Last few pages were a bit tragic though.

    Weight and working out

    I know it’s pretty well accepted and known, but I’ve done an unintentional use case the last month or so on the importance of a good diet. Running ~30 miles a week, supplemented by a number of Peloton rides but I feel (and look in places) as though I’ve put on weight! I think it is because I...

    Running

    Didn’t want to leave the kids for two nights so I opted for staying over the Sunday night so we could have a few drinks around Chester post race!

    Running

    It was enjoyable! Potential PB course I reckon as well. Albeit I struggled a bit, not sure if it’s overuse, the 5:30 start to make it in time or the heat in general! Felt a twinge in my hamstring around mile 11/12 too so had to half limp the last section. Finished in 1:37. Definitely going to...

    Running

    I haven’t done it before, but if I can get childcare sorted I might give it a go! Assuming non-affiliated random runners like me can take part and it isn’t part of any official club league run stuff?!

    Running

    Thanks! It’s a road half but I’ve no idea on elevation or route details yet. It was voted one of the best in the UK, so I thought I’d give it a go! The marathon is in October and if Sunday is a nice course I might be tempted to sign up!

    Running

    I have ran a few organised halves over the last few Sundays; Birmingham, Spires and Shires and I have Chester on Sunday. Spires and Shires was by far the hilliest organised run I’ve done. But somehow I was really close to the prize places, if I hadn’t have been held up by cows blocking the...

    Running

    Regardless of time, finishing a marathon is always a massive achievement. 0.01% of the population and all that!

    Manager

    Robins has weaknesses, as all Managers do. I’m sure next season we’ll moan about his lack of substitutions, his stubbornness and his post match excuses. It sort of doesn’t matter, he’s earned the right to have a solid couple of years to enjoy a stable ownership and funds to spend on players...

    Summer transfer window 2024

    Well catching up with this thread has been a pretty exciting experience tonight! Rudoni, Brown, McCallum are three exciting signings, all experienced and two with plenty of room to grow still.

    Summer transfer window 2024

    Lots of Rudoni opinions on here. I really like him, under MR/AV I think he’ll really push on. The lack of goals stat thrown around can be caveated by the team and system he plays in. He’s got bags of potential. Saying that, I wouldn’t want him as the marquee attacking signing. But him to cover...

    Really hope we sign Binks. He has a higher ceiling than Kitching who we rinsed silly money on (and I like Kitching).

    Assuming this requires me to look at stats/Google something and CBA during a game (bad as it is). Wouldn’t change my view regardless.

    Sod the sentiment at this point. Kelly and COH off. Someone snap Chair too.

    What was the little scum bags celebration about? I’m assuming he’s been getting some abuse re the fact he should be in jail.

    Match Thread Coventry City - Queens Park Rangers Match Thread - Saturday 4th May

    I’m expecting quite a nostalgic, emotional (in the context of a football game) atmosphere today. Saying thank you and good bye to a number of players who have been a massive part of our upwards trajectory is a significant thing. Even more so as it’s unusual to have the number we will today...
