    Nice v Marseille

    Whilst i completely understand your point... it was the ultras end in arguably their biggest derby of the season... it was hardly the family stand at Cov. I don't think many families were involved. I watched the vast majority of the game live and Payet took multiple corners in the 2nd half...

    Running

    Pyramid session this morning. 1min,2min,3,4,5,4,3,2,1... all with 2mins rest. 8 miles for the session. Currently on 70 miles for the week, with possibly another short outing this evening. Working up to 4 consecutive race weekends in September. Then that'll be about it for fell races.... got...

    Plantar Facilitis.

    As suggested above, the usual way is to roll a golf/tennis ball under the area.

    Running

    Hello all... yes as suspected i've been busy up in the Lake District. Plenty of hill training and racing. Got a few decent pb's on fell races, and a couple of weekends ago ran my 100th fell race (in abysmal weather). The most memorable race was the Welsh 1000 Metres race, which starts on the...

    European championships 2020 thread

    To be honest if you read my original post i joined the thread to point out that it was a bit of a farce. Look at Italy tonight. 3 home games in the group. I've only been responding to other's comments. Don't worry i'll bugger off again back to the running thread shortly...

    European championships 2020 thread

    A window overlooking the Lake District Hills. Being serious, i'm happy enough with a Sonos system, laptop, and BT Sport on my phone. Genuinely not interested in the Euros though.

    European championships 2020 thread

    What are you on about? 1) Wouldn't make a difference to me. 2) Chances of that happening are fairly remote anyway. 3) I actually live in a nice part of the country and (through choice) don't even own a tv

    European championships 2020 thread

    It's not just a tournament for England fans though is it. Look at tonight. Italy effectively have a home match to start with.

    European championships 2020 thread

    Joke tournament. Some teams could potentially play 5 matches in different countries, yet England potentially 5 out of 6 at Wembley. Most 3rd placed teams qualifying. Didn't Portugal qualify through their group last time finishing 3rd without winning a game. I shall not be watching.

    Favourite players of the last 25 years?

    In terms of causing maximum excitement in the crowd, it's got to be Huckerby and Keane in there. Dublin has to go in for what he did for the club. Ndlovu i think makes top 5. I'm finishing off my final 5 with a curveball... Strachan... i thought he was absolutely immense when he played...

    Favourite players of the last 25 years?

    25 years takes you back to 96, i doubt there'll be many nominations from about 2002-onwards. Might be better to ask the question of past 15-20 years instead.

    Pivotal Sky Blue Moments

    I remember when the speculation about a left-footed superstar was joining.... at the time i'm sure it was mentioned that it was possibly Rivaldo (possibly in the Telegraph or on CWR). Obviously that was cobblers, and it was Jarni....

    Running

    Ran an entire fell-race relay route solo the last weekend (minus a couple of drops to valley level down to changeover points) 17 miles and 6700ft of climb and descent. Incredibly tough. Next day i ran up the "Dun Fell road", which is a private service road up to a radar station on top of the...

    Missing the old stadiums

    Ninian Park in the UK. In Italy... loved Atalanta (although it has been redeveloped somewhat so that they can host European games which are becoming a regular for them). Hellas Verona and Bologna are fine old stadiums. Wasn't too taken by the Rome Olimpico (although the atmosphere for the...

    Pivotal Sky Blue Moments

    It is worth saying though that Strachan was the manager of the "entertainers" era which was the high point of supporting City for me. So I don't hold anything against him. (i am quite aware that the over-spending of that era has most probably led to where we found ourselves over the past decade...

    Pivotal Sky Blue Moments

    Yes that was it. And i'm fairly sure that at that point in the season we were right up the top... though as the last few posts prove, memories can be a little hazy...!

    Pivotal Sky Blue Moments

    On a similar note, and i've mentioned this on here before... first season down in the championship, fairly early on, we were doing well and were at home to Norwich... i think (possibly incorrectly) that Norwich were top and we were 2nd... a win for us would have put us either top, or clear...
