Great news knocky1. :thumbsup: You'll be leading this group for quite some time yet! :clap2: I timed my run today to absolute perfection. I had calls until 3pm and ended up leaving the office about 20 past. Nice and crisp, ideal running conditions and no fresh rain. Plenty of standing water to...

All this being said, I believe that in 5 years time we'll be a thriving metropolis again. The major roadworks will be finished, the A259 along the coast will be refurbished and flowing like a dream. The traffic through the city on the redesigned section of A23 between the Pier and St Peters'...

Frankly, right now - I think that without even reading it, they're probably right. There's rubbish everywhere, the roads are more pothole than surface at the moment and you can't move in any direction without being stopped by roadworks. The seafront is currently a mess and pretty much the whole...

How did you manage to avoid quoting the header?! “I could write 1000 pages or more to capture my life so far. But this is not intended to be about me. 48 years is well over 17,500 days of life; that is a lot to discuss. Instead of doing that, I have picked out a few stories that are the tips...

He gave the ball away a few times but he got the assist for the Maguire goal and put in some outstanding free kicks. You can see he's quite a player - but he did underhit a couple of set pieces as well as the brilliant ones he took. He hit the post from one with Caballero beaten so he was a bit...

I like threads like this - shows how much unites humanity! There is nothing better than getting in of an evening, whether it's been raining or not, and getting out of your day clothes and lounging around in joggers and a nice sweater. There are times I feel like I've removed every bone in my...

But your being there for her is the first night. Then there is a second night, and then a third and so on. A journey of a thousand steps starts with the first and with the right support and guidance, she'll be able to look back on that night as the first step on her road to straightening out her...

I walked from Churchill Square to the Amex via the seafront once, it took a long old time but I'd set off well in advance. The sun was shining and it was gloriously shirt and shorts weather. I had supplies to keep myself fed and watered and enjoyed a lovely long stroll along the undercliff...

I remember it as the third, right at the end. I'm happy to be corrected though. Murray was obviously injured, he was in absolutely no condition at all to be on the pitch. He didn't crumble emotionally in the same way that The Hawk did, but it was a massive black mark against him for a long...

The difference between the fit and confident Colin Hawkins and then the catastrophic confidenceless mess he became was incredible. We'll generally remember him as being something of a caricature but there was a player in there, once. Murray spent a lot of the season injured - remember him...

It helped that it was a friday night, before everyone else played. :thumbsup: We'd drawn with Bristol Rovers (so 0-0 it was almost -1 to both rubbish teams) on my 21st the weekend before, then went to Southend and played brilliantly. Back to back clean sheets with Colin Hawkins at the back was...

Completely agreed. Dan Harding was pretty poor in the game as I recall, although we didn't have Buckley to terrorise him that night. But as a sidenote, I bet on Murray first goalscorer, Brighton to win 2-0 all season. :clap2: Nothing else mattered to me!

What I find quite funny is the arguments from the City fans that the club hasn't done anything wrong. There are a few things here - 1) You have to totally ignore the annual lavish spending without actually generating significant fees from player sales and 2) You have to be prepared to accept...

I popped along in 8 minutes per mile for my 8 mile run this lunch time, plenty of hills thrown in around Patcham. It's going to be a good looking map when I upload it later on. It was my first run in new running shoes for at least 2 years and I really felt the difference - I'd worn away the...

Southend were a fellow League 1 club that season. I got scooped above! Southend sold Billy Paynter to Swindon to make some room in the squad for him.

I always liked Alex Revell, it's no real surprise he had such a good career after leaving us. He knocked in some beautiful goals along the way too, including an absolute screamer at Wembley. All the very best to him at Stevenage, I'm tempted to pop along to the Crawley game to see some old...

Make sure you post the fundraising link before the marathon, a cause I'll happily support. :thumbsup: I had this problem to start with, but I'm fine now. I was out in a shirt and shorts tonight, no baselayers needed because my body has become far better at regulating my temperature. When I...

I'm looking forward to a nice long run tomorrow evening, probably kicking off about 8pm. :lolol: After last week's washout with the cancellation of the Worthing Half, I've had two fairly casual weeks as a bit of a recovery in the middle of the training plan. Monday will mark the resumption of...

knocky1 and I dragged ourselves around Bevendean this morning, the Gaffer having already run just under 7 miles to get there. :bowdown: Because of his lengthy warm up, he allowed me to romp home to glory - 2 minutes clear of the second place 9 (NINE) year old who bullied a couple of gents in...

The word is "Followed", knocky1! I take a general interest in anyone who absolutely slaughters me in the finish of a parkrun. She absolutely motored away from me once, her milage is impressive along with the quality of the sessions. She doesn't seem to be an overtrainer like some I follow. Take...
