    Josh Eccles

    In addition to his footballing ability improving, he shows great leadership skills too. I remember mentioning it a while ago (possibly even the season before last!!). Whether he’s encouraging players, getting in the refs ear or winding up the opposition. He’s often the first, and sometimes only...

    First time doing Dhillons this season, queues are still absolutely shite. Should have stayed in Attleborough.

    Leeds bringing over 4,000 allegedly despite only just over 2,000 tickets

    Genuinely woken up this morning with a swollen black eye from the kids accidentally poking me in the eye yesterday and clocking me with one of their toy cars. I’m definitely going to play it off as Dirty Leeds jumped me, it was 1 v 4000 after all.

    Match Thread Coventry City - Leeds United Match Thread - Saturday 6th Apr

    Tomorrow will be one of the toughest games of the season, add to that the fact both teams have something to play for, and it’s going to be a really tense watch as a Cov fan. Interesting to see if MR plays to restrict them as per the away leg or plays on the front foot à la Wolves. While not...

    Leeds bringing over 4,000 allegedly despite only just over 2,000 tickets

    Depends if he can correctly name the three pubs. I’m meeting some of the Leeds boyzzzz in a pub in Nuneaton before my usual pre match routine tomorrow.

    Bizzare game as after the first 20 minutes and the goal I thought it would go onto be a comfortable win. Not entirely sure what changed other than giving away a silly equaliser out of nowhere which rattled us way too much. Collins - 6 - understandably was more direct/hurried in possession...

    We look the far superior team and their plan is to slow it as much as possible. Movement looks good too.

    Usually moan about it but have to say queues were well managed today, strolled in at 2:45.

    Anyone into this stuff yet; https://mojudrinks.com/products/vitality-pack?selling_plan=584024129 Partner purchased the root ginger shot a while ago and I found it pretty horrible. But recently re-ordered that and the tumeric one (ie that link) and it isn’t as bad. Not sure if it actually does...

    The Club Shop

    Went to the physical shop at the CBS yesterday and spent way more than planned. My own fault as I took the kids with me, and they wanted loads of stuff and I’m not going to say no to anything that will get them into watching us! My eldest is only 4, but as soon as we got home she wanted to put...

    Are you planning on heading to Wembley after?

    Weight and working out

    I meant in terms of calories counting apps - I wasn’t very clear! I hadn’t heard of the curated stuff and it looks pretty good, so thanks for the tip! We’ve made a few home made bits, predominantly from the ‘Pinch of Nom’ healthy cookbook my partner already had. The Chocolate Banana Muffins...

    Weight and working out

    I’ve set myself a pretty big running challenge to complete this year to fundraise for my chosen charity. I’m keen to be as trim and healthy as possible, partly as it’ll help with the challenge, but also if I’m going to be running a lot, then it’ll be nice to see some physicals benefits too!! So...

    I’m a bit of a broken record, but I’m doing the London Marathon on the morning of the Semi Final. With a 3:30 KO, it’s looking incredible tight / likely I’ll miss kick off. I’ll also be in my running gear as I’ll be coming straight from the finish. Not going to have time to change /...

    Semi Final Dates

    I’ve running the London Marathon on Sunday morning, so selfishly I wanted the Sunday so I didn’t have to (try and likely fail to) resist drinking all day Saturday. However 3:30 kick off makes it extremely tight, so I’ll probably miss KO, be in my sweaty running gear and likely feeling horrendous!

    Ben Sheaf in depth

    He’s always been class and I’ve lost track of the amount of times I’ve called him that on here (I’ll happily join in the self back patting!). It took the majority a long time to change their focus from the odd mistake he makes to the plethora of good things he does. Some still aren’t there...

    FA Cup Semi Final Draw

    Said it before but I have to hope our game is on the Sunday. I’ve got the London Marathon the morning of Sunday 21st, and if the game is Saturday I really don’t think I have the resolve to resist getting caught up in the atmosphere and having a few beers. Which will be a decision I will regret...

    Still not caught up with this thread yet. However the kids are going out for lunch with the grandparents today, for about 2-3 hours. Absolutely perfect time to re watch the whole game and read the numerous match related threads on here. Might even have a Guinness too - it is the day for it...
