There’ll be over reactions a plenty on here tonight, but for once it is warranted. We shoot ourselves in the foot one way or another every single game, and against quality players we get punished. I’ve said it before; everyone has weaknesses and substitutions and changing tactics mid games is...

We’re let down by a lack of attacking emphasis in the final third, again. Our defence has looked vulnerable at times, but their attacking threat is impressive and are always going to cause issues. James and Hamer is a very strong two, but the two in front of them are letting them down, either...

James looks a very class act in the middle.

Stuck at home feeling shite with covid, a sick partner and two young kids.* A City performance and a win would be a nice break! Albeit my chances of getting to watch it are pretty non-existent. Optimistic 2-1. *apologies for anyone who has already read about this several times in the Off...

Test results confirmed I have covid as expected. Other than a slight twinge of a sore throat and achiness I felt fine yesterday, however it absolutely hit me hard overnight. I feel absolutely terrible, as in not wanting to get out of bed today if that was an option. And for reference, I’m...

I have been WFH full time since March so those positives aren’t quite the silver lining they once were, as much as I love the kids! The difference in productivity and freedom to do things on the days the older one is at nursery/grandparents and the days she home all day is significant. I...

We woke up to a text confirming my partner tested positive for Covid yesterday. Chances are that means I have it too - I went for a test first thing this morning, so I should know by tomorrow. She feels terrible, I feel fine at the minute, albeit potentially starting to feel as though I am...

Genuinely never heard of this until you both mentioned it here. Just reading the website now, sounds interesting. Although 40 miles is a long way in one go, it would require some proper training! Have you/are you running solo or as a relay? Im assuming the relay is as it sounds, albeit I can’t...

Perfect - thank you. Unclear paths on public rights of way really piss me off! Genuinely thought about complaining about a few, sad as that is.

I would have him back, he was one of the few to show any level of performance and commitment during a few years of weak squads. If he is anywhere near the same level he wild add to the team, on and off the pitch. Car crash aside, he’s a good leader and a nice bloke too.

I much prefer country roads, bridal paths, canal towpaths etc. Only downside is sometimes the public footpaths turn out to be not runnable/maintained or are through a field full of cows! Could you post the route? Always looking for new parts to explore and it’ll be reassuring to know the routes...

I’ve mentioned a few times the best part of running for me is planning the route and finding to find new sections/footpaths to incorporate and explore. However I did what I’m calling a “free” run today; no route, no time, no mileage set, just ran and relied on my knowledge of the area, as well...

Does that mean the stretch from The Greyhound to Shilton isn’t great? Never explored that section but was/is on my to do list.

Was instructed to pick something up for dinner on the way home so nipped into the first supermarket I saw; Lidl. As always I checked out the alcohol section and was pleasantly surprised by the craft beers. I picked up two I’d never heard of: Steam Brew - Session IPA Lock Lomond - Bravehop The...

14kg on your back? Running with weights?

I love running on the canal tow paths, generally pretty quiet, flat and often interesting scenery. Only downside; the “path” can be a mixed bag, sometimes you get a proper one, other times it’s just mud and grass. Happened to me at the weekend on a section between Bulkington and Bedworth - due...

It’s not quite as good as The Wire, but it certainly comes close! As a newcomer and fresh pair of eyes to Breaking Bad it’ll be interesting to see what you think of Series 3 episode 10 (“Fly”), which is probably the most discussed and contentious (amongst viewers) episode of the show. And that...

Happy Birthday Daz. Our house purchase fell through today which is absolutely wank, so I’m going to have a few. To add salt to the wounds, I drank/removed from the fridge all the nice beers in preparation for (a failed) Dry January, so I’m on Gin!

I gave Lucifer a watch and it’s definitely worth doing. The concept of the Devil returning to earth and ending up as a Consultant to the LAPD doesn’t sound great, and it’s a procedural which I don’t usually like, but it’s surprisingly good. It’s not intense or heavy watching, but the underlying...

I’d highly recommend reading the series of novels this is based on; The Saxon Stories by Bernard Cornwell. One of my favourite book series ever. Not watched the adaptation yet as I’m worried it will either ruin the books for me and/or it won’t live up to my high expectations based on how good...
