    Rob Gurney

    I agree with all of this. That said, it can only be a good thing that Rob Gurney is back.

    Running

    Yes but it won't be a full race effort.... just a good quality longer effort.... i'm training for a 10 mile road race at the end of November.

    Running

    I went down to Bedworth Park last night with a bit of chalk and marked out a mile on the parkrun course. 4 x 1 mile with approx half mile recovery jog to take me back round to the start line. 5:42 5:44 5:43 5:49 Didn't have a planned quantity of reps before i started... just intended to keep...

    Cardiff away

    No idea as i missed the first half/goal! Would be 2007/8 season.

    Cardiff away

    i remember going there a few weeks after we'd beat Manchester United 2-0 at Old Trafford. A manhole cover collapsed on the M50 and loads of city fans were held up in the chaos.... we didn't get there until half time. They missed a penalty in the last minute and we held on to win 1-0. As i...

    Worst kick off of all time?!

    I remember them interviewing City fans before the match on CWR and one piping straight up with "shit on the villa" Rob Gurney cut him straight off and said "i'm not quite sure what he said, but let's hope we do....."

    Sunderland crowd..

    The German 2nd division running it close with 12 (out of only 18 teams). But they've got three teams over 40k (including one at about 57k and another 60k+) They've also got 6 who would be higher than Leeds in 2nd.

    Luton Town

    Should they change their tactics and play beautiful expansive football (and get smashed 6-0 every week), just because they got promotoed? Or continue with their tried & tested style of play, which given the poor standard at the bottom of the premier league, might give them the faintest glimmer...

    Match Thread Coventry City - Sunderland Match Thread - Saturday 26th Aug

    It's absolutely ridiculous. If we couldn't go up in the playoffs i'd have preferred Luton out of any of the teams who were still in the hunt over the last few games.

    Bedwetters here only !

    Approx this time last year, there were more than a few people on here saying that Hamer should never wear the shirt again after his sending off.

    Evening …..

    HackneyFox has been on the forums for years, back in the GMK days. Its fantastic that we are competing at the same table as Leicester again imo.

    Tom Brady minority owner at Birmingham

    Like i say, its just another way of looking at it. There's a lot of excuses thrown about when it comes to us and attendances (some valid, some not), but the fact is they're historically (very slightly) better supported than us, so i think pointing fingers at them for lack of support is a bit...

    Tom Brady minority owner at Birmingham

    Another way to look at it is in my living memory, Blues have never been a regular top flight team (whereas we were for a large chunk), yet they still have an average crowd above us.

    Running

    Yes 400's are a good marker of where you are.... simple session, no need to over-complicate it. I didn't manage the 400mtr session on thursday, a combination of family-crisis, mum's 70th birthday, and a trip to London...... so did a hill session on treadmill instead. My scribbled records...

    Tom Brady minority owner at Birmingham

    That isn't every BCFC fan though is it...... its like us getting the hump with Sunderland claiming that we're a city of total wankers due to an event in 1977 which we have no control over, and a few people throwing shit/piss around (which probably didn't actually happen)

    Running

    We were on the grass at Warwick Uni last night... 8 x 1 minute reps with 3 minute recoveries. The 1 minutes were 30secs quality, 20secs harder, 10secs max. My increase from quality up to hard pace was at least vaguely visible... but from hard to max was barely noticeable even to me. 9.5...

    No Strava for me.... strictly a pen and paper guy!! Probably the only person in Cov Godiva who doesn't use Strava....! Happy to expand on any routes on here or PM, or meet up for a run if wanted....

    My apologies, of course its a sunday game isn't it....!

    Leicester away

    There are plenty of earlier trains to Leicester than 11am. If you're trying to do the entire trip from Coventry on the train then you're severely limiting your options...... you need to get to Nuneaton.

    Running

    Issue with those directions for me is the path deteriorates the further you get away from Cov.... i remember trying to cycle along there to Rugby once which was a disaster, ended up chucking my bike on the train at Rugby to get back home. The towpath within Cov is pretty good although a bit...
