    Cyrille Regis Article - The Athletic

    Beyond the goals, moments like that demonstrated his influence on the dressing room. His remarkable ability to connect with team-mates and provide a silent authority was what his peers at Albion, Coventry, Wolverhampton Wanderers, Aston Villa and Wycombe Wanderers valued so much. “He commanded...

    If it helps, it's a work trip and I've been in bed with flu for 2 days so not even earning money!

    A terrible game to be watching on Turkish hotel wifi, essentially in 480p and constant buffering

    Torn with this one. Bed-ridden with flu abroad so could watch on ifollow but our history vs these tells me that's not a great way to spend £10 or make myself feel better. Another 1-0 loss, maybe get a 1-1. Either way, Paterson is going to score

    Crowd Violence in Turkey moves to a new level.

    Not in any way defending what happened, but it was in retaliation to the keeper throwing a flare back into the crowd (which obviously shouldn't have been thrown onto the pitch in the first place)

    Running

    *Morgan Freeman narrator's voice* "But it was not the catalyst to get back out there he had hoped..." Worked in Turkey all but 4 days in November. A diet of mostly chicken and bread, and nowhere to run near the hotel means I put on 9lbs in the process. Managed a 3km the other evening but can't...
