    Championship thread 25/26!

    Sunderland will likely finish below Newcastle this year, but i think they'll be making noise about this season's results for a while to come.

    Brilliant, well done to him. If i do a half marathon again i'd have to do a lot more continuous longer runs..... been doing big sessions (10 x 1 mile/6mins) which has built me a great engine for 5km and possibly 10km (i was amazed how easy i felt at 18min/5km pace early on today)..... but i...

    84 points should do it.

    I just did that predictor.... being as pessimistic as possible, i still got us on 93 pts (beating Sheff Weds, Portsmouth, and Blackburn). But i did have Ipswich finishing on 91, and Middlesbrough on 89 (again being as pro (Ipswich/M'boro as possible)..... so 9 more pts does it for me. I had...

    Ran the Forest Of Dean Trail Half Marathon today. 17 of us had submitted an Expression Of Interest for consideration for the England v40 team. Needed top 6 to qualify. Ran the first km down the road in about 3:20 and the top 6 were already pulling away.... tried to make a fist of it for a few...

    It does look dodgy for Leicester but they've got a couple of favourable games coming up at Easter

    I think Boro and Ipswich win today. Not a clue how we get on. Would prefer Millwall to get something, but if they do lose, we're probably down to three autos contenders.

    AFCON 2025/26

    Yes it should've been made at the time. Reversing it now just makes a ridiculous situation even more shambolic.

    Holiday's 2026

    Went to Florence a couple of weeks ago. As expected it was stunning. Out to the coast to Livorno on the saturday for a look round, and went to the football. On the sunday i'd planned to go to Siena, but the weather was gorgeous so i took a couple of trains to La Spezia.... then a bus to a...

    AFCON 2025/26

    Its probably a correct decision, but should've been made at the time, as soon as Senegal walked off. Game over. Doing it now is equally ridiculous.

    I think its pretty universally regarded that American influence in UK/European football is a bad thing.

    Running

    No time in particular. Its a trail half, and I need to finish in the top 6 to qualify, so that is the aim..... although looking at the competition, top 15 is probably going to be my limit. Having reccied the course a couple of weeks ago, i'd like to think i can hold somewhere close to 4min/km...

    Running

    Yes the trail half. Got a bit of a telling off tonight during the session. Was told not to run the 400mtrs in anything quicker than 78's. My first set of 5 was 75,75,76,75,75 Coach told me if i was feeling easy then he was happy for me to carry on at that pace, but not to go crazy. 2nd set...

    Running

    I've got 10 x 400mtrs tonight, but on the track. As i'm into an "easy week" due to half marathon on sunday, this will be my only effort of the week, and i've been told to keep them at 5km pace.

    Cheating like we saw from Southampton needs to be stopped

    Not really understanding the hate for the relegated teams from last year. OK Leicester fair enough. But Ipswich and Southampton are both pretty inoffensive.... i'd go as far as saying Ipswich were one of the more popular teams to go up when they did. They're hardly Leeds, either of them. As...

    Went to the Podium 5km at Leicester yesterday, superb event..... unfortunately i wasn't racing this year. The elite races featured some of the best of British, and several top Scandinavian athletes. But not quite as stacked a lineup as last year as there were a couple of top races going else...

    Sir Douglas King interview tomorrow 9am

    Congratulations on one of the stupidest posts i've ever seen on this forum.... Even using twitter buzzwords like "tinpot" mark you out as an idiot..... But what exactly is tinpot about Everton? Never being relegated? History of league and cup wins? the fantastic Goodison Park? their massive...

    Cheating like we saw from Southampton needs to be stopped

    That explains it then.... Cheating is ok as long as it isn't at the same "level" as the opposition's cheating.
