Club session with Godiva tonight. 5 x 1km with 90secs rest... 3:22 3:21 3:20 3:24 3:25 The final two being an absolute ordeal. Whilst the club fell training i do up in the Lakes is incredibly tough and sometimes very intense, they just can't match the intensity of the flat sessions compared...

Wasn't it WestHull Tiger, and we took 299 there....? He went on about it for months, if not years :D

I think it's more likely that both Nice and Montpellier are local derbies. Such is the hostility in France that its only recently that away fans have been let back in to derbies. (i'm not entirely sure but the real grudge games such as Lyon v St Etienne, and PSG v Marseille, may still have that...

There's so much more going on as well, other than Payet and the bottle throwing... the Marseille player whacking the ball point-blank into the crowd... the Marseille member of staff lamping the Nice fan (although really it was only a heavy shove in the chest/shoulder).

That wasn't a steward, it was a member of the Marseille playing/coaching/bench staff.

Whilst i completely understand your point... it was the ultras end in arguably their biggest derby of the season... it was hardly the family stand at Cov. I don't think many families were involved. I watched the vast majority of the game live and Payet took multiple corners in the 2nd half...

Pyramid session this morning. 1min,2min,3,4,5,4,3,2,1... all with 2mins rest. 8 miles for the session. Currently on 70 miles for the week, with possibly another short outing this evening. Working up to 4 consecutive race weekends in September. Then that'll be about it for fell races.... got...

As suggested above, the usual way is to roll a golf/tennis ball under the area.

Hello all... yes as suspected i've been busy up in the Lake District. Plenty of hill training and racing. Got a few decent pb's on fell races, and a couple of weekends ago ran my 100th fell race (in abysmal weather). The most memorable race was the Welsh 1000 Metres race, which starts on the...

To be honest if you read my original post i joined the thread to point out that it was a bit of a farce. Look at Italy tonight. 3 home games in the group. I've only been responding to other's comments. Don't worry i'll bugger off again back to the running thread shortly...

A window overlooking the Lake District Hills. Being serious, i'm happy enough with a Sonos system, laptop, and BT Sport on my phone. Genuinely not interested in the Euros though.

What are you on about? 1) Wouldn't make a difference to me. 2) Chances of that happening are fairly remote anyway. 3) I actually live in a nice part of the country and (through choice) don't even own a tv

It's not just a tournament for England fans though is it. Look at tonight. Italy effectively have a home match to start with.

Joke tournament. Some teams could potentially play 5 matches in different countries, yet England potentially 5 out of 6 at Wembley. Most 3rd placed teams qualifying. Didn't Portugal qualify through their group last time finishing 3rd without winning a game. I shall not be watching.

Doyle. Konjic. good lord.

In terms of causing maximum excitement in the crowd, it's got to be Huckerby and Keane in there. Dublin has to go in for what he did for the club. Ndlovu i think makes top 5. I'm finishing off my final 5 with a curveball... Strachan... i thought he was absolutely immense when he played...

25 years takes you back to 96, i doubt there'll be many nominations from about 2002-onwards. Might be better to ask the question of past 15-20 years instead.

I remember when the speculation about a left-footed superstar was joining.... at the time i'm sure it was mentioned that it was possibly Rivaldo (possibly in the Telegraph or on CWR). Obviously that was cobblers, and it was Jarni....

Ran an entire fell-race relay route solo the last weekend (minus a couple of drops to valley level down to changeover points) 17 miles and 6700ft of climb and descent. Incredibly tough. Next day i ran up the "Dun Fell road", which is a private service road up to a radar station on top of the...

no Robert Jarni...? it's an outrage...
