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

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...

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...

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.

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

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

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.

Doyle. Konjic. good lord.

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...

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.

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....

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...

no Robert Jarni...? it's an outrage...

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...

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...

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...!

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...

Absolute LOL at someone claiming Doyle and Breen as club legends, but dismissing Dion...

Went out training with potential new club up in here Cumbria (the plan being i'll continue to run for Coventry Godiva on the Cross-Country/Track/etc), but train and race for these guys on the fells. Gorgeous evening on the Pennines for a 9 mile run out. Standard was high.... i was perhaps 5th...

In our current set-up as a club, we could potentially fluke a promotion via the playoffs. I don't mean that to sound disrespectful to the fine job MR and AV have done, but i think our realistic ceiling at the moment is fighting for playoffs, and i think that would be a few years away.
