We completely agree there - it will be hung with no majority, no clarity on vision for the short or long term future of the country and a lot of money spent with no positive outcome for any side of the Brexit debate or the country as a whole. It'll give the media something to write about for a...

This is a classic case of massively overestimating the ability of a young player to replace a man with years of experience playing in a totally different role in the team. Alzate hasn't been playing in a position with as much responsibility as Pröpper and, without being overly critical of a...

I agree. The Brexit party have a really big part to play in this election. They could ensure that the Conservatives don't get a majority (again) and have even less control over the whole process than they've been able to wield so far. Hopefully, they'll attract plenty of Turkeys to vote for...

Bugger. :down: Even so, I'll be racing it and going for a sub-18. I felt pretty strong this morning on my 2 hour steady run, so I shall resume targetting the PB set by knocky1 many, many moons ago. I was curious to know when it would be without missing any, but I definitely will miss a load...

Have a go at Michael Keane all you want, but let's not start suggesting that Hopes and Fears, the debut album from Keane, was anything short of a masterpiece.

I must have missed it somewhere, but do we know why Duffy wasn't in the squad today?

:ffsparr: Maybe it'll be a case of wanting to avoid all mention of the score and get straight back off after the run! Perry's Tracksuit Bottoms - that's a better time than I managed in my first Beachy Head, I was just north of 5 hours. It wasn't my favourite event on that day and wasn't a...

Huge congratulations Simgull for 250. :bowdown: Many years of hard work to earn the shirt. :thumbsup: And also to the Beachy Head Heroes - how were the conditions?! Next saturday is the showdown between big nuts and I at Peacehaven, and I'll be adding in Hove Park December 14th for an NSC...

Not at all - I didn't think he showed much with us but playing in a team which better utilises his strengths at Sheffield United, he has proven himself to be a capable player. Not that 3 consecutive promotions from the Championship wasn't some kind of evidence that he was a top player at that...

It's the easiest thing in the world to say that. You can say that about quite literally any footballer at any stage. I'm pretty sure you've said the same thing about Sam Baldock, probably about Kazenga LuaLua as well. Anyone else who may, or may not, have made it in the Premier League but for...

He wasn't even close to being a Premier League player when he was with us, maybe in a better team he'd have stood out more and I'm sure he's progressed since he was with us. But he was little better or worse than Jesse Lingard was, and, frankly, Lingard was only decent in a handful of games for us.

Hello Perry's Tracksuit Bottoms, welcome to the NSC Runners. :thumbsup: I don't think anyone would ever recommend you run a marathon as your first ever event, but that ship has now sailed so let's play the hand you've got rather than a hand you'd prefer! From the sounds of it - you would be...

I think he benefits enormously from being in a team which gives him so many chances. He very rarely scores from outside the box and the majority of his goals are fro the 6 yard box. Most teams don't afford him such glorious chances. I think he needs to really enjoy these few seasons where Man...

I wondered how long it would take someone to bump this thread because he stole McCleary's goal by tapping it over the line from less than a yard out. It's the only type of chance he'll actually score from, afterall. :thumbsup:

Brilliant! Well, the good news is they have the keys to the old and unused cafe. So you'll be able to get nice and cosy before and/or afterwards. As the man Penny said, it's fully on the grass and there is a different slope at the start of each lap (they get easier as you go along). There are a...

Congratulations for getting yourself over to Bevendean. :thumbsup: The whole first half lap is pretty much up hill. You start at the far side of the Down, then run along and swing a right which takes you gradually up hill until you hit the beast. It's got to be a kilometer from bottom to top and...

Because why should they? Why should they bail out a club which would need a further bail out anyway, somewhere down the line? Clubs are responsible for themselves and it's not the fault of a Premier League club that Bury were so poorly run and have gone to the wall. Even last season they were...

I can only assume you're still to be won over by Maupay. It's true he's not scoring as many goals as we'd like, or getting the positions he needs to get us goals, but he's sharp, quick and strong. I think you should lighten up on him, the more he plays, the more he'll achieve. :thumbsup:

Badger - sounds like an amazing experience seeing that pace the whole way through. Horribly manual though, and a lot of pressure on you to help them get their desired times. What have you got on your running calendar for the rest of the year? soistes - my cousin also ran Auckland Half on...
