It was in Foleshill actually. Probably less facilities than the Wheatsheaf...

I know very little about him really. I've got his book "Tao of Jeet Kun Do" and it's a beautiful book, and interesting to see how he picked what he thought were the best bits from various styles (such as Muay Thai, Western Boxing, Kali, Wing Chun, etc" My honest opinion is that whilst he was...

I'm not against cross-discipline fights as a rule... they are a bit more common in Asia, for example Muay Thai fighters against Chinese Kung Fu fighters, or the whole K1 series (although with slightly diluted rules to prevent the Thai guys destroying everyone in the clinch with knees and...

I think that to an extent, class would outshine brute strength and fitness in most cases. But it's a close run thing. Example I'd give is Pirlo (my fave player of all time) who several times made Gerrard look like a bumbling Sunday player. And Pirlo fairly strolled round most of the time...

Our session was 5 reps, with decreasing recovery between each rep. The recoveries between each rep were 2mins30, 2 mins, 1:30, 45secs... If you're very fit then getting through the first 3 reps and maintaining your pace should be fairly straightforward. But the final couple of reps are...

Sounds like you're a decent enough runner... Are you in a club? I'm at Godiva Harriers but short distance races like that are not a speciality of mine. I consider 3 hours a short race! But Godiva is the best training in the local area, and they concentrate on track/field/cross country, so they...

Mr Newport... I'll try and communicate to you why people don't seem to understand the comment on the Newport forum, without resorting to insults or any "top banter".... Someone on your forum mentioned your coaches going to Nuneaton (fair enough), and mentioned that putting that on our forum...

Had this at work a couple of weeks ago. I made a comment and the colleagues in my immediate vicinity (2 x plastic Man Utd fans, 2 x plastic Liverpool fans, 1 x decent Villa/Leamington fan) happened to disagree. One of the Utd fans basically told me my opinion was invalid because I support a 4th...

I'm a reasonable runner. Did a track session last night of 5 x 1km reps. Knocked out the reps between 3mins35 and 3mins45 which is a fairly tough pace to maintain. If you put those together, without the rest periods you get around 18mins (Although i could not do 18mins for a straight 5km run)...

Even the out of town places are poor though. Central Six is full of crap shops (who wants a discount furniture store and a Poundland so close to the city centre), and as for Gallagher, well that is possibly the worst collection of shops in the country...

My thoughts on some of the points raised here... I have a fairly new girlfriend who is not a native of Coventry (nor the UK for that matter), so have been looking at Coventry from the eyes of an outsider to some extent. Yes there are good points to it. Spon Street. The area around the...

Only came across Grimsby fans once and they were very impressive. Albeit it was in a local derby for them away at Lincoln, so probably to be expected that they would be good on that occasion.

Some guy at my new place of work was harping on about the supposed 3000 odd tickets apparently sold, and has 'heard' that we've only actually sold 800 proper season tickets, and the remainder of the 3000 was made up of corporates/kids/freebies (how you have a freebie season ticket I do not know...

I've been there for a game as a neutral. I think the town itself has enough nice pubs, chip shop, cafes etc, to cope with a ccfc invasion, unless we are bang on for promotion and looking at taking more than say 2000 there (I don't think the away end holds that many anyway). The ground is in a...

Chetwynd - Whitestone offy - Attleboro Snooker Club - Rugger Tavern - Pen & Wig - Elliot - Bilberries (shit hole) - Millenium Breaker is indeed the beer of champions.

I think there is very much a thought amongst fans (of all clubs) that if you make the playoffs, you go up. "Must make the playoffs" etc.... Unfortunately it doesn't necessarily equate to promotion (for around 75% of the teams who make the playoffs, according to statistics).... You'd like to...

Not a fan of Forest Green Rovers, mainly as they seem a 'new team'.... But would grudgingly admit it would be a good away day. Decent ground, away terrace if I remember correctly, and the town it is in is quite nice. Dagenham another London trip is always a good shout. Would also like Tranmere...

That's fair enough and I applaud your dedication to the club. However if you didn't visit the odd match as a neutral then as already said, you would miss a lot. I've been to a lot of matches abroad and would never have the chance to do this watching city. It does give you a perspective on the...

I see. Apologies to Skybluedan as well then. At the end of the day we're all city fans and if the football wasn't so piss poor we'd probably have better things to do than argue. At risk of unmasking my "anonymity", Mr Eccleston of the telegraph is a close personal relative, so the suggestion...

Moff I don't know why you're getting so worked up.... You had a bit of a pop at someone I'm close to, I took a bit of offence and called you a wanker, probably unjustified, I'll admit that. Let's just leave it at that. I've no desire to go on some crusade arguing with everyone. As for...
