    Promotion - what are we up against...

    And we are competing at the top end of the championship, as we have been playoff contenders the past two seasons. A slightly downbeat start to the season doesn't change that...... the reaction to our poor start this year is even more ludicrous when you look back at the past couple of years...

    Promotion - what are we up against...

    People think we have a god-given right to improve year-upon-year. Its simply not possible for the vast majority of sides. Same in the Premier Leauge..... how many sides think being outside the top 4-6 is unacceptable, and will ultimately sack their manager at some point...... probably about...

    Running

    My (amateur) view.... You're probably going to feel a more general fatigue so benefits will not be immediately apparent. However you should find you perform better and hold your pace for longer when you do races (or harder sessions). It also becomes like an ever-improving spiral...

    Running

    Last speedwork session prior to flying out to Pyrenees on monday. 1 x 1km, 5 x 200mtrs, on the track. km went in 3:25..... pretty poor, i can do 3km at that pace on a good day. It was pretty windy though. 200mtrs are definitely not my forte, and i had to run them round the back straight...

    They've Got Off Spot-Free AGAIN

    In other news, Chelsea sell their Hotel to their sister company for over £70m to remain within "Financial Fair Play" rules.

    They've Got Off Spot-Free AGAIN

    This sums my above point up for me. They are no different as a fanbase to us (save for the good times they've had in the last decade). Similar sized club, similar roots, similar fanbase. Rivalry aside, they are neither "horrendous" nor "disgusting"..... I see it on other forums as well...

    They've Got Off Spot-Free AGAIN

    But not with the same level of vitriol as Leicester..... who have got away on a technicality..... Forest have outright taken the punishment and got away with cheating, proving that it was justified.... that is a terrible situation for the game to be in.

    They've Got Off Spot-Free AGAIN

    A lot of the outrage on here (and i'm not saying it isn't partially justified), is simply because its Leicester. Nobody would give a toss if it was anyone else..... there's not been much gnashing of teeth about Forest who (i assume) recieved a points deduction as they were found guilty, yet...

    They've Got Off Spot-Free AGAIN

    More proof if needed that football fans will say anything to justify anything they or their club do.....

    Running

    Last week i did 3 x 1 mile at Godiva (although it was a solo session as club night was cancelled) 5:32 5:27 5:24 Hoped for a bit better, but not bad considering it was wet and i was time-trialling. Thursday did 4 mins tempo, then 4 x 2mins Saturday went over to Shropshire Hills to do some...

    the issues

    I don't tend to converse with people who use the term "happy clappers"..... usually a sign of abject unintelligence and/or spending too much time on Twitter.... Ditto people using the term "tinpot"

    12:30 kick offs. Team perspective

    Poor souls. I've had to eat Rice at 7am this morning to prepare for a big training session, and in a couple of weeks it'll be 6am as i'll be racing at 10am. You just get on with it. "Don't know they're born", etc

    league cup draw

    Arguably going away to Newcastle, Man City or Chelsea and winning would have been a much better footballing achievement.... But there is no chance any of those options would have created such an intense match and atmosphere. Wolves fans were up for it and it created a proper occasion. None of...

    league cup draw

    I don't know how Wolves away can be described as "boring" FA Cup Quarter Final, a derby, and very much a historical rival (wasn't Wolves a huge deal in the 60's?) Too many people can't see past "the big 6" and think nothing else matters..... spent too much time watching Sky Sports.

    league cup draw

    Wolves away last year (despite the moaning on here from most) was one of the best draws we could have got. As was Manchester United in the semi.

    Anybody actually play in a team?

    Is this as in "Fell Running".....? I'm heavily involved.... ran for Warwickshire in the inter-counties the last two years. Going to Pyrenees in a couple of weeks to run in the World Masters Mountain Running (v40, uphill race) And do a lot of domestic level races..... won the short race at...
