    A nice pyramid session for me today - 1 min (60 seconds jog recovery), 2 mins (90s), 3 mins (90s), 4 mins (120s), 5 (120s), 4 (120s), 3 (90s), 2 (90s), 1 (60s) - so many laps of the Level. I tried to run at 6 minutes per mile pace but I was a bit off I think, the last minute I tried to run at 5...

    [Albion] Alireza Jahanbakhsh joins Feyenoord

    He's the last remaining absolute shitter left in my humble opinion. :facepalm: Bong is the luckiest man in the Premier League in so many ways. In this case, the injuries to both Bernardo and March left the door open for him. No chance at all that an 80% fit Bernardo isn't picked for the bench...

    [Albion] Alireza Jahanbakhsh joins Feyenoord

    Are you seriously suggesting that Bernardo isn't currently injured, and we've been subjected to seeing Gaetan Bong coming off the bench because he's preferred?! :lolol:

    [Football] Sunderland sack Ross.

    Sunderland somehow managed to pick up 85 points last season, but finish 5th! Crazy season in League 1, he's been very unlucky there. Not a great surprise for Sunderland to make such a decision though - maybe this is inspired by needing drama and conflict for their third season documentary...

    [Albion] Gary Glitter song featured in The Joker Movie

    100% yes. It's magnificent and until looking it up, I didn't know who performed the song I now know to be Rock and Roll part 2 by Gary Glitter. It doesn't really change that it was perfect for the scene it is used in. I have no problem separating the music from the man.

    [Albion] Dunk and Connolly article in The Athletic today

    I'm not being controversial, and I think the qualities of Dunk allow him the freedom, but I actually think Webster might be our best centre back now in terms of all round ability. He's quicker, very comfortable moving through the pitch with the ball at his feet and defensively he looks strong...

    [Football] Defoe joins Rangers,not QPR !

    I watched the game, I was really surprised by how good Celtic were that day to be fair. I thought their start in the league was beyond how good they actually were, but they were superb all over the pitch in the Old Firm game. Going down to 10 men today at 0-0 probably hurt them, but they have...

    A friend of mine clattered his way around Bournemouth Marathon in 2:52. :ohmy: He's known for being quite sharp, he beat Mo Farah over 10k about 10 years ago by a couple of seconds. But he's never raced over a marathon distance before and his training has been patchy at best. 14 miles was his...

    [Football] Defoe joins Rangers,not QPR !

    His partner generally rotates - Edmundson and Katic usually. Goldson is the constant in the side, so he must be doing pretty well and they're looking good to push on for the title this season. Celtic have started really well, banging in the goals domestically, but seem to be slowing down a...

    [Albion] Our best performance since ...

    But they had their amateur in goal, who was in goal again today and shipped another 5. For me, that win was massively tainted by the opponents playing a man who made Graeme Smith look like Gianluigi Buffon. :down: For me, today is the best performance since 3-1 against Palace and right up...

    [Football] Hugo Lloris

    Don't let me find a quote of you praising Solly March's horrifically overhit freekick at Millwall last season... A spectacular goalkeeping error that day, and a spectacular goalkeeping error today. The common thread - whipping a cross into the box and seeing what happens. Pascal Gross whipped in...

    [Football] Hugo Lloris

    I was watching the game at home, and it was obvious from the first replay that he'd absolutely ruined his arm at the elbow. The commentators didn't notice and kept showing it, over and over. It suddenly dawned on them what had happened and they stopped showing the replays. But it was obvious...

    Well, my East Brighton Park plan failed miserably and I had to drive controversially in order to make Bevendean Down. Luckily, it doesn't go off until 5 past usually because everyone walks to the start line together. I claimed the win, but only because the crazy quick lad is running a cross...

    I think what really frustrates me is that if Barns Green was this weekend, I'd sign up in a shot. It's just one of those things. I'm probably going to pile into East Brighton Park or Bevendean on saturday, on the assumption I wake up in time. I'll definitely be sleeping until midday tomorrow...

    I'm not cancelling the 4 day weekend I booked at work! I'm picturing a fairly tame and relaxed weekend ahead. A friend of mine was going to get his first motorway driving experience taking us up there and back, so maybe subconsciously I'm not too unhappy not to be a guinea pig on his first...
