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.

Bedworth :) But i've not really got that full Bedworth lilt.... i'm more Ash Green way and i never associated quite as much with the people from "real" Bedworth

Most people who live a long way from here, seem to think i'm a bit "Brummy". But people from closer i.e Midlands, definitely seem to be able to identify it as Cov.

Tuesday night was 2 mile reps on the perimeter roads round the outside of the Memorial Park. Was pretty slippy going down Coat Of Arms Bridge Road in the dark with all the fallen leaves. But managed 12:16 and 12:22 for the two reps (actually they are more like 2.1 mile, so just crept under...

My big 10 mile race next sunday in Carlisle... one of the fastest (and actually the oldest) 10 Milers in the UK. Hoping to go as close as possible to 62mins. Below 62 would be a dream and i doubt possible, but above 63 i'd be a bit unhappy with. Although being a linear course, conditions on...

Nice. I've done 5:18 on the flat.... although that was part of a session with multiple reps. Based on my 1500mtr pb (4:45) i reckon i'd be 5mins - 5:05 on a track mile race. We had a group run last night in the wind and rain. Starting at Warwick Uni, up the hill to Gibett Hill Rd, up...

With the best will in the world, you're not going to dramatically increase your fitness/endurance in two weeks.... I'd just get back out used to having time on your feet... wouldn't do any distances that are going to take you overly long to recover from (you'll know better than anyone else...

I saw numerous incidences of it, all down Moseley Avenue and Holyhead Road. But yes the most numerous were at the junction of Long Lane and Tamworth Road, including a minor altercation with a guy who got out of his car to have a go at some poor volunteer.
