    [Albion] Mooy sings!

    I'm not convinced that all this outpouring of positivity is justified, he's been a big part of a team struggling to score goals. He's weighed in with 2 and put in some good performances, but at 29 I think a contract taking up to being 33 is very generous. He was a big part of the Huddersfield...

    [Albion] KING KAYAL M'LORD - Anybody Know The Latest State Of Play?

    Kayal is oddly underrated by many, he's got bite and lacks discipline at times but he has a work rate which wouldn't go amiss at the moment, not to mention more actual quality on the ball than people appreciate. He makes things happen, and we need things to happen at the moment!

    The VO2 test sounds interesting and I'm always happy to get involved with research - let me know what they say about the pill though. I don't want to run sub 3 and then be challenged for doping by the other contributors to this thread!

    [Football] Rio Ferdinand Man United Quote

    I thought he was wildly emotional last night and it was totally out of sync with the game/situation. It was a poor performance and they lost to a well organised team. Yes, it's Old Trafford and no team wants to get rolled over at home. But they're 5th in the league with a pretty poor (although...

    I've done the Bournemouth parkrun a couple of times, which is run at Kings Park and alongside the Vitality. I've never made the start though, so my times are pretty poor on both occasions. I'm determined to go and dominate next time!

    [Football] Dan Burn signs new deal

    Personally, I believe that when everyone is fit, Dan Burn is on the bench. A bit of a James Milner style character, he's going to play plenty of games because he offers our team multiple solutions in various formations and we know that we'll pick up injuries and suspensions to left backs/centre...

    Ha - my dad has never been a runner! He broke his ankle stepping off a curb walking to the Goldstone Ground in the 80s and he marks that date as his retirement from all active passtimes, not that he was doing any prior to it though!

    [Football] Football Manager 2020

    Frutos - a few questions if I may. 1) Are Liverpool dominating at the top of the Premier League? 2) Who have been in the relegation and promotion from Championship set up in your seasons to date? 3) Does Harry Kane pick up his annual injury to prevent him from knocking in 20 goals in the...

    Cheers folks, very pleased! Strange run today though, aiming for 90 minutes at 8:45 and couldn't contain myself to start with and then couldn't get back up to pace at the end. I lost my way a bit, pacingwise, but nothing too concerning. Pleased with the weeks training on foot and on bike -...

    4th at Preston Park in a new PB of 17:54. :albion: It took everything I had, but very pleased with the result and the performance. Sorry soistes - we haven't met. Are you joining the gang at the Bedgebury 10?

    [Albion] Anthony Knockaert - Bring Him Home

    Sorry for repeating the same things again, but one miracle goal doesn't excuse his two mediocre at best seasons in the Premier League. He didn't cut it on a regular basis which was a surprise to many of us, myself included, but he had a good go. He's probably better off enjoying his football...

    Yeah, I'm wondering how badly it's been impacted. I ran it in 18:50 when it was quite damp before, but it's a long way from being a slam dunk. I might bottle it and get to Preston Park instead. I see that they've remarked the course now, there is a new permanent logo for the turnaround point and...

    I'm thinking about East Brighton park tomorrow - that's my parkrun of choice. I shall be looking for my 9th consecutive sub-19 finish. Fingers crossed!

    I have a parkrunner app but it doesn't have any challenges or anything! :ohmy: I'll go through the list later on, but it looks like a fun set of challenges. I need one more course to make me a quater Cowell!

    [Football] I played my first football in 3 years this evening...

    The key really is the warm up and cool down you do - they'll really help your recovery. Also try and get a bit of a walk in post-football - your legs will benefit massively from moving slowly, the recovery is crucial. In theory, it'll get easier each week as it goes anyway - but there are things...

    [Football] Jamie Murphy - loaned to Rangers, sale likely in the Summer

    To be fair, he was definitely a good finisher and if you watch any highlight reels of his best parts for us, most of them will be him scoring goals. I never believed he was a top end Championship player, though. I thought he was a fairly ordinary player at Championship level but would be good in...

    What a brilliant thread. :clap2: Personally, my knees prevent me from playing football. I've played with big nuts and the boys a couple of times in the last 6 months and it renders me utterly immobile for a week afterwards. I can go out and run 50 miles per week with very little reaction from...

    [Albion] "Brighton are not doing as well under Potter as they were under Hughton" - oh yes we are!

    For all the love being shown to Aaron Mooy, he hasn't really done all that much to justify it. Surely everyone agrees that we're not good enough in the final third, and Mooy has to cop some flack for that along with the other regulars like Stephens and Pröpper who aren't contributing enough...
