That’s a fair enough point, but the only way football will ever change in this country is if the big 4/5/6/whatever it is now, are regularly shoved out of Champions League and European places, and start to struggle financially... and currently it’s our strange friends from Leicester and Wolves...

It probably depends who would come up... if Ipswich/Portsmouth/Sunderland went up, you may expect them to kick on and perhaps stay up more comfortably..... (as I think we would if our off-the-field shenanigans were ever resolved). if a Wycombe/Peterborough/Fleetwood came up, then they may...

I thought the very first episode of Going Straight was really good... where they were on the train back.... but it went downhill rapidly after that...

Everything gets drawn out too far.... Inbetweeners mentioned above... fantastic.... the first film was good, but I thought the 2nd film was dogshit. anyone watched People Just Do Nothing.... first three series were brilliant.... 4th and 5th absolute guff... Royle Family, Only Fools, even...

Fair play to them.... similar city (and in some respects club history) to ours..... I’d sooner they succeed than any one of the “big 6”...... will probably get slated for the above, but when I was growing up the rivalry was Villa for me.... the likes of Leicester/Wolves/Blues were way below...

It pains me to say it, but I’d have my money on Wasps to stay up rather than go down... they deserved their win last night against one of the better sides in the division, and will pick up enough to stay up with a degree of comfort. I doubt they will challenge the top half though unless last...

To be fair it’s not unexpected.... some dickhead “genuinely feared relegation” a few months ago after one of our defeats... I think we were 5th at the time...

You knew what I meant... ok if we want to be exact, we are only 3 points off the 2nd placed team.... the point still stands... if people think the season has been a disappointment then they have short memories. I’d be disappointed if we didn’t make the playoffs, but Robins appears to be the...

Some people sound like they think we have an automatic right to be in the autos, due to size of club... The same thing many of us mock Sunderland for having the exact same attitude.... how’s that working out for them at the moment...? the dropped points are frustrating, but we are...

If the weather’s (and my legs!) are good I’m heading over to Kingsbury Parkrun for a pb attempt....

this really.... I genuinely mean this, Bentley’s Roof Leicester is a more entertaining and interesting read than this place at the moment... I only really log on to post on the running thread now.

Not accidental... but I do a lot of long-distance races in the mountains.... my longest race I’ve ever done started at 4am and took 18 hours... obviously 18 hours in the middle of nowhere leaves a few issues, shitting being one of them... The nerves and early start had got to me, and I...

Bumper day of cross-country for Cov Godiva yesterday... due to the rain, a few Midlands venues were postponed and moved up to where our race was being held, in farmland between Stoke and Crewe... Ladies off first, and Nuneaton and Tipton Harriers looked like they were fighting it out for the...

I may be wrong, and my apologies if so.... although I’m sure I read that on the WaspsBS thread...

I’m sure the above is true, it sounds a ludicrous thing to make up... But disregarding the above, aren’t these wankers supposedly meeting the Football League....? Why do they still continue to “represent the fans”...?

Ran a fell race in bitterly cold conditions on the Shropshire hills today. 1hr37 which was a pb by 6mins, and finished 42nd (i’d never previously got in the top 80).... although I was slightly downbeat to not get under my target of 1hr35.... although most people I spoke to said they were the...

racing on Boxing Day...! the intriguingly named Devil’s Chair Dash...

Strong week of training so far.... track session on Tuesday.... 4000ft hill session Wednesday.... 11 miles last night. a couple of very gentle runs this evening and tomorrow morning, then off to a fell race in Shropshire on Sunday. It’s the 3rd race in the Shropshire champs, and my first...

I took a Coventry Godiva team up to the Rossendale valley in Lancashire for a Fell Relay Race yesterday. Weather was fairly tame this year, but underfoot conditions and the boggy terrain was as bad as ever. Our fastest guy went first leg and came back in a stunning 5th position.... I was next...

I recall a night out in Cov, some group of lads started to cause some agro.... I decided it was inevitable to kick off and got in first, and lamped the ringleader, apparently breaking his nose.... we jumped in a taxi and got out of there... stupidly we went back to the Colly the following...
