Ninian Park in the UK. In Italy... loved Atalanta (although it has been redeveloped somewhat so that they can host European games which are becoming a regular for them). Hellas Verona and Bologna are fine old stadiums. Wasn't too taken by the Rome Olimpico (although the atmosphere for the...

It is worth saying though that Strachan was the manager of the "entertainers" era which was the high point of supporting City for me. So I don't hold anything against him. (i am quite aware that the over-spending of that era has most probably led to where we found ourselves over the past decade...

Yes that was it. And i'm fairly sure that at that point in the season we were right up the top... though as the last few posts prove, memories can be a little hazy...!

On a similar note, and i've mentioned this on here before... first season down in the championship, fairly early on, we were doing well and were at home to Norwich... i think (possibly incorrectly) that Norwich were top and we were 2nd... a win for us would have put us either top, or clear...

Absolute LOL at someone claiming Doyle and Breen as club legends, but dismissing Dion...

Went out training with potential new club up in here Cumbria (the plan being i'll continue to run for Coventry Godiva on the Cross-Country/Track/etc), but train and race for these guys on the fells. Gorgeous evening on the Pennines for a 9 mile run out. Standard was high.... i was perhaps 5th...

In our current set-up as a club, we could potentially fluke a promotion via the playoffs. I don't mean that to sound disrespectful to the fine job MR and AV have done, but i think our realistic ceiling at the moment is fighting for playoffs, and i think that would be a few years away.

10 mins at 3:30 is decent. Especially for reps. That pace would get you 10:30 for a 3000mtr track race. I returned to fell racing yesterday after 9 months away. 9 miles 3000ft. 1hr48, 2mins down on 2019, but given the long layoff I'm not too disheartened, legs just didn't have that top gear in...

Those slating the San Siro really need to see it on a matchday. Milan beating Juve in front of 78000 under the floodlights is the best experience i've had in a football ground.... even knocked the Rome Derby off top spot. Stunning. In South America i really like the look of the huge one in...

I for one am glad they won, and would sooner they (or even Villa at a stretch) take any limelight possible from the so-called "big 6"

First thing i thought of when you mentioned the WMP club was Chess...!

given that the role requires an enhanced DBS, i expect that rules out about 99% of people on here...

Club night tonight. 12 x Hill reps of approx 250 mtrs. 9 miles in total, and 4 this morning, so a solid day.

My mileage has reduced last couple of weeks... 46 and 50 miles... Combination of moving house and the resumption of strength work, has made things less consistent. Hoping to ramp things back up again this week, although moving to Lake District next weekend, then next race is a week on Wednesday.

I'd argue that we'd have at least sunk to League 1 (and perhaps even League 2) regardless of who owned us, due to the awful state we were in. SISU carry the can (rightly or wrongly, depending on your stance) for those years as they were owners, so i'm happy to say that they're doing a good job...

1-0 at Villa 3-2 vs Manchester United Last ever game at Highfield Road 2-0 Mifsud at Old Trafford In that order. Was only 5 at the time of Cup Final, and as good as certain moments in the last few years have been, for me they don't quite compare to the above.

Well they aren't are they. They are in the playoffs and we're about 18th. Just like we weren't "relegated" and "bottle jobs" because we didn't beat Wycombe. Just like we're not the new Brazil 1970 if we win today.

If only we'd battled like Rotherham tonight.

Club night last night. 4 x 200mtrs, 3 x 1 mile, 4 x 200mtrs Unfortunately i was still absolutely battered from sunday's race, not to mention the reopening of gyms on monday! So took the whole session very relaxed. 200mtr reps were just used as a good stretch out, and ran the miles at about...

Raced at Pingles in the 1500mtrs today. Was 2nd in my heat, in what i can only imagine was a good race for the spectators... myself and a young lad from Bromsgrove&Redditch breaking clear in the middle stages, then swapping the lead multiple times on the final lap, before he pipped me by a...
