First season down, home to Norwich City.... (when Richie Partridge scored that screamer) what if we hadn’t conceded a goal through a massive deflection right near the end? A win in that match would have put us well clear in the automatic promotion places, albeit well before xmas, but I’m...

What are the words to Sky Blue Army?

Good day out at the Warks cross country champs... Godiva with individual golds in the senior U17 and U20 races, and team gold in one of them. I think team gold in one of the girls U17/U20 races too... in the seniors we took silver behind Birchfield Harriers. Massive well done to our city...

4th race in 10 days this afternoon, at Warley Woods in Smethwick.... Warwickshire Cross Country Championships... interestingly, Warwickshire for athletics purposes is the “old” county of Warwickshire, including Coventry and much of Greater Birmingham, hence the venue ‘over the border’...

38 of the current league clubs.... if included teams which have dropped out of the league I think it would be low 40’s... although I’m far from a regular now, home or away.... been to more Italian matches in the past several years than English matches...

I remember Sky Blue Army, Twist & Shout, In Dublin’s Fair City... in one fanzine was a cartoon.... titled something like “Mick Chant... everything he says is a football chant”.... which was pretty good. I remember coming home with one as a teenager, and my mum expressing borrow that “shit...

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...
