I'm far from saying Southgate is perfect, but i don't buy the attitude towards England from the fans/press, that its always the manager's fault... How many "golden generations" have we had in my adult life? How many supposedly "world class" players? And we've had a number of managers who were...

Went down to Banbury today to race for Godiva in the Midlands Tack League Did the 3000mtrs and ran a pb of 10:17 (previous pb was 10:31) km splits 3:20 3:30 3:27 Considering i haven't raced on track for two years i was very pleased. I should be doing a track 5km in the next league fixture in...

I suggest waiting until the final whistle when we've inevitably drew/lost. Maximum rage.

I remember going in 2000 and they had the Drum & Bass tent.... could just walk in with a pack of SuperT and go where you wanted. Some of those earlier years were like the wild west.

How much of a "Morning problem" is it at Birmingham? I'm flying out of there at 6am in September, surely there aren't going to be mad queues at pre-5am? Or am i mistaken?

Anyone do the Northbrook 10km today? I was spectating on Wall Hill Road. Adrian from Northbrook was in 2nd at the time (about 2km in) but he tends to start fast..... was pleased to see he held on for 3rd this year.

If you've upped your mileage (or intensity), then its natural to feel a bit fatigued. 40 miles is a good total, if that is an increase and you do that consistently you'll make really good progress.

It was an awful game. Regardless of the CCFC link, its not one i'd be in a hurry to watch again.

I did the Snowdon Uphill race on friday evening. From the centre of Llanberis up to the summit, along the main "railway" path. Was in the top six for the first mile or so, but as the race settled down, found myself just outside the top 10. Fortunately i was very strong on the steep mid-section...

Yes, but the above was somewhat unexpected so could argue we have been a little fortunate. We have certainly not been unlucky with how its panned out in the last few tournaments. Totally agree that nothing that has happened so far really matters.... i'm sure Argentina aren't berating...

Except for being in one of the easiest groups (again), and ending up in the significantly easier side of the draw (again).

I am definitely the sole reason we had Marcus Hall at left-back instead of Roberto Carlos.

Had to take Birth Cert/ID to Thackhall Street ticket office back in the day, every season, for a JSB/Junior season ticket. Had to start taking my mate's little brother's birth certificate when i reached 18.

I'm another. I remember 2006.... i was 24 years old and football was life.... we looked at going to Germany, but the costs and no guarantee of tickets etc, ended up going to Greece for almost the entire duration of the tournament instead, and had a fantastic time, watching every game, and it...

I have done a Snowdonia race travelling down on the morning.... although it was New Years Day so the roads were totally empty and i got there well under three hours. Although its not ideal. Any race i was taking seriously i always stay the night before, and usually for the night after too...

Next race for me is the Snowdon Uphill a week on friday. No messing about, starts in Llanberis and straight up the path by the railway to finish on the summit. No chance of winning, there's too many international level athletes who use this as practice for the full "up and down" Snowdon race a...

We played them in pre-season away at some point in the 2010's. There were perhaps a few hundred Cov there. My abiding memory is trying to find somewhere afterwards to eat, and having to travel to Hitchin instead. (Stevenage appearing to my untrained eye to basically be a huge council estate...

I think there is a general assumption amongst the fanbase that we are almost guaranteed a year-on-year progression, and that playoffs/promotion in the next couple of years is a given. Whilst i think we are now an established playoff contender, i don't think anything over and above the last...

Won the "short race" at the Welsh 1000 Metre Peaks yesterday. Starting on the A5 at Ogwen, up over Glyder Fawr, down to Pen Y Pass and the bottom of Snowdon.... up the Pyg Track to SNowdon, via a short detour to the top of Carnedd Ugain. 2hrs04.... got caught half way up the Pyg Track and...

This entire thread is a bit of an embarrassment tbf.
