City fans singing "we'll never play you again" after we took an early lead at Yeovil away, in our first match in League 1

That was horrific. Weekend before xmas if i remember. I'd parked my car on the seafront for the weekend and the spray from the sea covered it and it all froze. I got so smashed after the match, my brother had to drive us home the next day.

Club night last night on the Godiva track at UOW, in the wind and rain. 2 sets of, 8 x 300mtrs 100mtr jog (approx 45secs) between the reps, and 4mins rest between the 2 sets. Due to my tribulations with my hip, i was 50/50 whether to even start the session, and eventually elected to just do...

On fell races i'd always eat "real food" going up a steeper climb, just slow the pace, don't lose much time as i'm a strong climber anyway, and if its steep enough everyone is down to a power-walk anyway. Its only a few mouthfuls of bombay mix or pork scratchings, only takes a minute, but yes...

I've used SIS before without issue, but it really is a personal thing. When i do long fell races, say 3hrs+ i prefer to take real food, ie a bit of Bombay Mix or similar. But thats fine if you're wearing a bumbag or race rucksack. Not really practicable in a road marathon though!

Who remembers "Pavarotti" singing at half time in the 90's Think it was a boxing day game (or near xmas anyway), possibly vs Forest

Forest Of Dean Its a qualifier for the England Masters team..... i need to make the top 6 in my age category to get an England vest..... although looking at the competition, i'll do well to make the top 15. I reckon to get a vest i'd probably have to run 78mins to have even a remote...

We had 5 x 1km last night. Last time i did 5 solid reps at 3:15 But i'm struggling with hip flexor tendonitis at the moment (and just spent 4 days in Italy doing nothing but eating Pizza, Bread and Coca Cola) 3:26 3:23 3:24 3:18 Stopped after 4 reps. Could tell i was compensating for my hip...

Went to Livorno on saturday afternoon. Gorgeous sunny and warm day. Had no issues getting a ticket in the curva, and getting in ok. Quite an intimidating place, nothing like English grounds..... huge glass barrier/fence to keep people off the pitch.... graffiti everywhere under the stand...

Any club would appeal it. Don't think thats a surprise, regardless of guilt. Their next two games are Stoke and Middlesborough away.... they could be deep in the mire after those.

Buy the best stuff straight off the ultras in the back of the stands usually.

I'm off to Florence on friday. Original plan had been to go to Fiorentina vs Pisa.... a pretty heated derby, and a big clash at the bottom of the table. Alas its been moved to monday night (whether for tv or due to the trouble surrounding the first match in Pisa), and thats when i'm flying...

I was not with my parents. I was not hit. "roughed up" was the best term i could find for being forcibly turned round and given a talking-to.

I'm not saying it was right, i'm just saying it stuck with me not to give the team shit. I'm sure Lampard knows there's issues without some fat pisshead in row LL going "booooooooo" There's not a lot you can do as fans..... ultimately we're just paying customers, like it or not..... and when...

Original poster has a good point. The ones booing will be the first ones lapping up the fist-bumps and queueing for a season ticket if we do go up. They can fuck off back to watching Liverpool on tv as far as i'm concerned. I remember as a kid booing the team at half time in the East Stand at...

Nice one, really good time.

I'm off to Florence a fortnight today. Had been hoping to catch Fiorentina vs Pisa whilst there , but alas it seems to have been moved to a Monday evening (when i'll be flying home). Presumably due to a repeat of the trouble which marred the match earlier in the season. Having scouted round...

0-0 and consolidate our push for 7th

I think the problem is, the horse has already bolted and its now a closed shop.... a "Leicester" might come along every 15 years or so and win the league, but look whats happened to them... the clubs at the top now have shut the door on everyone else as they don't want anyone to spoil their...

I've only ever got rugby news on here (usually Wasps related), as i'm not really arsed about it. Was generally under the impression it was as you say.... finished. But i heard a Radio5 article a few weeks ago claiming it was absolutely thriving at the top level.... i can't remember the...
