    12:30 kick offs. Team perspective

    Poor souls. I've had to eat Rice at 7am this morning to prepare for a big training session, and in a couple of weeks it'll be 6am as i'll be racing at 10am. You just get on with it. "Don't know they're born", etc

    league cup draw

    Arguably going away to Newcastle, Man City or Chelsea and winning would have been a much better footballing achievement.... But there is no chance any of those options would have created such an intense match and atmosphere. Wolves fans were up for it and it created a proper occasion. None of...

    league cup draw

    I don't know how Wolves away can be described as "boring" FA Cup Quarter Final, a derby, and very much a historical rival (wasn't Wolves a huge deal in the 60's?) Too many people can't see past "the big 6" and think nothing else matters..... spent too much time watching Sky Sports.

    league cup draw

    Wolves away last year (despite the moaning on here from most) was one of the best draws we could have got. As was Manchester United in the semi.

    Anybody actually play in a team?

    Is this as in "Fell Running".....? I'm heavily involved.... ran for Warwickshire in the inter-counties the last two years. Going to Pyrenees in a couple of weeks to run in the World Masters Mountain Running (v40, uphill race) And do a lot of domestic level races..... won the short race at...

    Running

    I reckon its exactly 4.75 miles round Draycote, so you'll need just a little more than 3.5 laps to hit 18 miles......

    Running

    Short answer: I'm not particularly affected by others. Longer answer.... In this particular race there was such a variety of ability that i couldn't really be affected. There were perhaps 10 runners and the quickest was 15:44..... i was 3rd or 4th..... and the final finisher was over...

    On this day 25 years ago

    The home game against Villa under the floodlights was pretty special. I'm pretty sure Keane had a goal disallowed for offside, just prior to scoring the winner (which was also borderline onside/offside)

    On this day 25 years ago

    Didn't we win a record 7 home games in a row? It did include a couple of pretty poor last-minute wins against Barnsley and Sheff Weds if i remember correctly....

    Running

    Ran the 5000mtrs in the Midland Track League yesterday for Godiva. Finally broke the 18 minute barrier with 17:49 On paper it went exactly as planned.... build a cushion in the first 3km and go through in 10:20-10:30 (i actually went through in 20:26)....... and have enough in hand to finish...

    Bet365 Stadium

    I've always thought Stoke away fans were pretty loud tbh. And i enjoy Port Vale away.... as people say, its a step back in time but perhaps thats why i like it. Not been Stoke away but it has the hallmarks of your average out-of-town new stadium experience (much like the Ricoh)

    Anybody actually play in a team?

    You must've been decent to play for Jet Blades. I played for Woodlands on a saturday (also in the Cov Alliance, although i hovered between first and reserve teams), and a number of teams on a sunday, including The Cherry Tree, Bedworth Travellers Rest, Orchard FC (Bedworth) Stopped playing...

    Are we being “hyped”?

    That's fair enough..... but "finish above most teams bar......." leaves you with little room for error.... you've basically got to finish top two out of the rest of the league (the "most competitive in the world" as the saying goes) ps: i think we'll finish above at least one of those four...

    The Olympics

    You wouldn;'t hear anything outside of Kerr/Ingerbritsen on mainstream media. But inside the sport, Hocker was widely tipped to have an equal chance, should the race be a little slower (say 3:29 or above), due to his phenomenal finishing speed. What was a surprise was that he could still be in...

    Are we being “hyped”?

    The three who came down... Throw in Leeds. And us..... plus Middlesborough who seem as hotly tipped as us. Thats six already. Who knows what the rest of the division is going to throw up, but Norwich and Preston are always around. Add in a couple of others who are bound to overperform...
