    Scariest time at a ground.

    It’s been mentioned by a few but the Sheffield United away QF match. We couldn’t get away end tickets so got them through a friend of a friend who had a Sheffield post code and could get us tickets. Ended up in the part with the majority of hooligans, and they somehow knew we were Cov fans. Was...

    Running

    I’ve mentioned it on this thread a few times before, but it really pisses me off when you intentionally (and obviously) move out of someone’s way when running, usually onto mud/roads/grass verges etc, and get no acknowledgement at all. Sounds petty I know, but it’s basic manners! I was...

    Weight and working out

    What’s the macro target stuff all about?

    Dry January

    My partner - who I was doing it for - renegaded yesterday. Her justification was she had exercised a lot during the day and Gin is low calorie, as opposed to her usual glass of wine. She’s an adult, so it’s her choice and as I was only really doing it for her I also had a Gin (for the same low...

    Weight and working out

    Exactly the same here - I did ~250 miles running and indoor cycling in December, yet still put loads on. It’s the mindset of ‘I’m exercising loads so I can eat what I want’ that I have to get out of!

    Weight and working out

    Looks like it might be Android only unfortunately! I used it over summer pretty well, and as you suggest I was honest too with things like beer and chocolate - definitely felt guilty when adding those things! I saw the meal option and am going to start using that. It’s small (and silly)...

    Weight and working out

    Got into the usual Christmas bad habit of eating whatever I wanted at any point during the day, including really indulging my sweet tooth, at times even after breakfast! I am also very partial to some chocolate just before bed, which has evolved over the last few weeks to whole bars. As I am...

    Signings Incoming......

    Can we take this post as confirmation you’ve now heard something too, and therefore we can all get excited?!

    Signings Incoming......

    Because fans don’t like players who subtly contribute and recycle the ball. Hamer is loved as he stands out with his Hollywood balls and long range efforts (and on the whole he is another level!). Sheaf sits slightly deeper but can have a positive influence on the game. It also doesn’t help...

    Signings Incoming......

    Crowley definitely has ability, no question about that in my view. He developed a slight attitude over the years, but as I said before, if he’s playing and managed well he’ll be an asset. MR’s track record in similar situations is promising; he got the best of Bright who as we’ve all seen has...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    And a few of my friends who are teachers are closing their schools from tomorrow too. One is a Primary school and follows a Union meeting this morning where not enough Teachers/TA’s were comfortable with working on site.

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    We’ve had an email from our daughters nursery this morning, warning us they are expecting to be shut by the Government this week, and to respond if you’re classed as a key worker. Not sure if it’s just contingency planning or they have knowledge of what’s coming.

    Running

    I’ve looked into Lonely Goat before but wasn’t into running enough at the time. Can you/do you find other local LG runners?

    Dry January

    We were due to give this a go, as my partner feels as though she needs to lose weight following our second baby (she doesn’t), so I was happy to do it too to support her. I’m not a big home drinker, very very rarely drank at home, always prefer pub drinking, but as that hasn’t been a thing for...

    January transfer window

    Crowley would be a good signing, technically he’s very good and on his day is a great footballer. Would add some creativity and attacking intent to the team. However, his attitude has taken a turn for the worse over the years unfortunately. But saying that, nothing that can’t be reconciled with...

    Reading Any Good Books ?

    Historical fiction is one of my favourite, anything by the below is recommended (favourites in brackets): Bernard Cornwell (Warlord series - based on King Arthur, Saxon Series - based on Alfred the Greats reign) Conn Iggulden (Emperor series - based on Julius Caesar, Conqueror Series - based on...

    Running

    Thanks both. Still a little on the fence, I’m pretty motivated and not sure I’d be at a level/able to commit to races. I would like people to run with though, not all the time but occasionally a running partner would mix it up a bit. None of my mates or partners are interested in running at...

    Match Thread Millwall

    Pushing the full backs on, and the whole team forward slightly, coupled with an increase in confidence and we look a much better side. Proves we’re more than capable in this league. Appreciate Millwall have been poor but we should take some of the credit for that. Well done to Shipley, he‘s...

    We don’t need a striker after all!

    Match Thread Millwall

    Even without Godden injury we probably needed a striker anyway, but expectations need to be realistic. We probably have a small amount of funds left, so it’ll be a chance on a lower league striker on a permanent or an unproven premier league loan.
