    Djokovic Disqualified

    Rightly disqualified, it's the rules... What seems to be pretty poor is the media witch-hunt towards him... he lost his rag, launched the ball, and it was an accident, i'm sure he regrets it... Yet the media seem happy to turn a blind eye to high-profile drug cheats in athletics and cycling...

    Not got any city shirts. Got a few foreign ones though... Greece... Olympiacos and FC Platanias both from early 2010's Turkey... Besiktas limited edition memorial shirt to their old stadium. Italy.... Inter and Bologna (gorgeous) both from around 2016/7 Used to have rare Boca Juniors and...

    Running

    Raced on the track at Pingles this afternoon in the Masters (over 35's) meeting. 3000m... 10:32, which was an improvement of 16secs on last year's time, and doubly pleasing as my recent training times suggested that i'd be doing well to get under 11mins. Four of us pulled out a big gap in...

    Messi leaving Barca

    I'd certainly say Baresi was all-time greatest defender, along with Beckenbauer... Can't really compare positions... Obviously Messi/Ronaldo will be seen as bigger greats due to the position they play in, but the likes of Baresi were just as good in their position. Whilst Messi would...

    Messi leaving Barca

    I understand the point people make about Ronaldo doing it in three major leagues... but i don't necessarily agree with it... Do we denigrate the likes of Baresi and Maldini for being one-club men? No chance...

    World Rugby bans trans females from the women's game

    I don't pretend to know the moral or scientific ins and outs of this... and frankly i don't really care... but i think the only reasonable way to look at this, is that if you decide to change sex then unfortunately elite sport is no longer going to be open to you as a career choice.

    Raced in the oldest fell race in Wales yesterday, on it's 60th anniversary. 18th/118..... 30mins16secs 2 miles up to the summit of the mountain, and two miles straight back down again. A measure of the contrast of the two halves of the race... the two miles up took me 19:26, and the two...

    Item Coventry Blitz

    Whilst this is completely understandable from their generation, it is something i struggle to understand from people my age (late 30's) who claim to "hate" Germany.... i'm not talking about some scum-bag either.... a friend with a distinctly middle-class background, brought up in a great...

    Will you please build?

    The Oracle has spoken... perhaps you should contact SISU/CCFC/UOW direct with your opinion, i'm sure that will save them a lot of wasted time...

    Messi leaving Barca

    This notion that the Premier League is the best in the world is really dated, and generally shows the ignorance of English football fans (not picking specifically on anybody here)... Spanish league "only two teams are any good".... Yes European games are a cup and a lottery, but English clubs...

    Wasps downward spiral...

    They seem to be getting results on the pitch though... two crunch matches coming up against the teams immediately below them, which look like they will either see them secure in the top 4 (Europe?), or mid-table obscurity...

    Running

    It's purely personal preference... i personally won't use any more than water on anything up to about 4hrs, and then i'd use something like Brown Kendal Mint Cake rather than a gel... if it's getting on for over 6hrs then i'd take proper food high in calories for little weight... Pork Pie...

    Running

    That is good running on those 800 reps... i would be working hard to hit 3:30 pace.... 3:20 no chance for 8 reps! Yes diet is a real minefield. You will certainly feel like you need more food if you have upped the miles. It's not really an issue as long as you put in enough fuel to allow you...

    I'm not on twitter (thankfully it seems!) but this whole episode seems a bit sad from all points of view... - why some no-mark thinks anyone cares about his views on a footballer that most people across the UK will have never heard of... - the fact it seems the Telegraph think it's worthy of a...

    Raced on the fells this morning at Llangollen... 17 miles/3000ft. 12th/125 2:30:28........... had a target of 2:30 but this was scuppered when we had to do a lap of the football pitch in the final field before we crossed the line! Although it does show that times really go out of the window...
