I may be wrong, and my apologies if so.... although I’m sure I read that on the WaspsBS thread...

I’m sure the above is true, it sounds a ludicrous thing to make up... But disregarding the above, aren’t these wankers supposedly meeting the Football League....? Why do they still continue to “represent the fans”...?

Ran a fell race in bitterly cold conditions on the Shropshire hills today. 1hr37 which was a pb by 6mins, and finished 42nd (i’d never previously got in the top 80).... although I was slightly downbeat to not get under my target of 1hr35.... although most people I spoke to said they were the...

racing on Boxing Day...! the intriguingly named Devil’s Chair Dash...

Strong week of training so far.... track session on Tuesday.... 4000ft hill session Wednesday.... 11 miles last night. a couple of very gentle runs this evening and tomorrow morning, then off to a fell race in Shropshire on Sunday. It’s the 3rd race in the Shropshire champs, and my first...

I took a Coventry Godiva team up to the Rossendale valley in Lancashire for a Fell Relay Race yesterday. Weather was fairly tame this year, but underfoot conditions and the boggy terrain was as bad as ever. Our fastest guy went first leg and came back in a stunning 5th position.... I was next...

I recall a night out in Cov, some group of lads started to cause some agro.... I decided it was inevitable to kick off and got in first, and lamped the ringleader, apparently breaking his nose.... we jumped in a taxi and got out of there... stupidly we went back to the Colly the following...

Burnley were in Europe two years ago... admittedly not through winning anything... but isn’t our greatest achievement (apart from the cup win) getting into Europe... not to mention their history.

Leicester are currently superior to Manchester United, and for what it’s worth they seem to be going the right way about staying at the top end for a substantial period. I’ll get slated on here for it, but fair play to them. Football in this country needs a shake up, and knocking one or two of...

Most people in my club who’ve done it seem to think that it’s slower than Cov. Although I think that’s because they are not strong on the hills, and that steep little hill just knocks a little bit out of them. My pb is at Bedworth... I think it possibly quicker than Cov, but it can punish you...

will be at least a few weeks, possibly mid December, but I’ll say hello if I’m down...!

Great stuff and good luck with Northbrook. If you really want to improve then clubs are the way to go. If you get involved at the Midlands Road Relays next spring (Northbrook usually have a large contingent there), look out for the Coventry Godiva flag and ask for Pete the fellrunner...! 10...

Whilst I always want England to succeed.... I agree with some of the other comments here... given the choice, I’d take three points for City in any weekend, over an England win in any major tournament. As mentioned it’s not really a choice that has to be made, but does exemplify the far...

A few family issues mean I’ve barely raced in the last couple of months, and training has been somewhat sporadic. But we are bang into the cross-country season now. First league fixture was last weekend in the Birmingham League (arguably best league in the country, with teams like Birchfield...

I was not there, but my dad and little brother were, and said it was murder getting out of the area alive... the locals were not happy!

yes I wasn’t going up until ‘92... the worst I remember were Leeds early 90’s (a few years in a row we played them last game of the season and there always seemed to be trouble.... particularly remember 95-96 when we stayed up last game and that was possibly the worst trouble I saw on the...

Definitely Quinn gave Schmeichel the smallest of shoves in a multi-player handbags and he dived over and got Quinn sent off. Think I remember Wegerle hitting the post late on too... or that might have been a year or two before... I remember some retard from my school who was your typical...

How many times in all the years we were at the Ricoh did we actually fill it? off the top of my head... Gillingham, Chelsea, Newcastle, Blackburn?, Crewe?...... half dozen at most? Sadly (and it is a terrible shame) I doubt we’d fill it every week in the Premier League, once the first...

Whilst I very much dislike Wasps.... I think Peaches and Cream has explained the rule violation well... we can throw a lot at Wasps, but it would appear that it was a genuine error (although I stand to be corrected.... the point about the fire-sale of players last year is a good one)... and...

The Coventrian swinging for the fences last night...!
