Anyone on here still playing chess? I play a lot online.... on longer games, 10mins and upwards, my rating usually hovers somewhere between 1800-1850...... if i really spend time studying i find myself pushing well into the 1900's, but that requires a lot of time for me. I most often play...

They were getting 20+ in League One more often than not. Whichever way you spin it, that is "good"

Lovely day (if a bit windy) at the county champs yesterday. Good day for Godiva.... In the ladies race, we took gold and silver, but Nuneaton Harriers really performed well, and we only beat them to the team gold by a single point. In the mens, we were edged out by the mighty Birchfield...

Warwickshire Cross Country Champs today in Smethwick. Smethwick clearly not part of Warwickshire now, but for athletics purposes, Warwickshire is the "old" county, with large parts of Birmingham included. Last year we won the men's gold team and i nabbed a bronze in the master's team (over...

I'd snap your hand off for two points over the next two games. Can't see anything today, but probably a draw with Sunderland.

I'm a fan of giving away fans a big allocation. It enhances the overall atmosphere, the majority of the time. Harking back to Highfield Road again, the atmosphere was always better when the Sky Blue Stand had 3-4k away fans packing it. Ideal situation for me would be similar to West Brom...

Raced on the fells last night in Shropshire. Weather was absolutely shocking, meaning my headtorch basically just reflected the rain/sleet/mist/my own cold breath, straight back into my face. Although the course was marked with luminous sticks, lost the way a couple of times on the way up...

Exactly. A lot of our support went from "just glad to be a proper club again" to absolute delusion, almost overnight. We aren't the worst offenders (take a bow Sunderland), but if we were comfortably in the playoffs and playing a team in mid-table, we'd be expectant of a victory, rightly or...

That price is competitive (unless you go for some chinese knock-off) I got the Holland Euro 88 top from a cheap place that ultimately came from China, it was shit.... would gladly pay £50 for a decent quality one.

We were on the Godiva track at the Univ Of Warwick last night. A real toughie.... 12 x 400mtrs with 1 minute rests. Was set a target by the coach of 75secs (which i thought was unachievable to be honest). Started with a lacklustre 81, then sped up to 78, then it was 77's and 76's all the...

My brother was in the away end at Oxford vs Bolton last week. Took nearly 90mins to get out of the (free) away end car park.

Fair play to the club for selling something different to the norm.... That said, anyone i saw wearing them, i'd assume they require 24hr/day care.

2km reps last night. Starting on Cannon Hill Road, opposite the back/side entrance into the crem, all the way along to Cannon Park Road, left onto the A45 and finishing back up by the Phantom Coach. Actually its about 80-100mtrs longer than 2km, and a tricky one to pace well, as its downhill...

We had our 2nd cross country league fixture yesterday next Wolves academy/training ground. XC season is in full swing..... county champs in a fortnight (i managed a bronze in the masters team last year, hope to improve on that this year) Couple of short fell races over xmas (one on boxing day...

But this is a mere football forum so what's wrong with people bemoaning it. Its shite, and has made the spectacle of football much worse, for very little benefit.

I was talking generally.

The rule changes over the last few seasons just seem to be with the intention of making every aspect of the game signifcantly worse.

Rule changes in football should be able to be implemented at any level, from Sunday leagues up to champions league. Therefore, back pass rule change early 90's fine. Handball changes, (grudgingly) fair enough. VAR can't even be implemented everywhere at a professional level, let alone anywhere...

Nice one. I managed 62:40 which was mission accomplished. I knew with the training behind me i was probably capable of running in the 62's. Slight twinge of disappointment as i was well under 62min pace at halfway, but there was a pretty ferocious headwind all the way (it was a linear race)...

Good luck. My 10 miler on sunday (Brampton-Carlisle). Had my last bit of training last night.... 5 x 350mtr hills up the side of the A45 near to Costco. 14 weeks hard work done now. First time i've ever trained in earnest for a non-fell race. Hopefully a pb on the cards.
