    [Albion] Alzate

    Alzate already looks better than March to me - I wouldn't assume he'll lose his place in the team.

    Yeah, got the text message. :down: Decisions to be made now. For a start, I may target a parkrun I feel I have a shot at dominating on saturday. I hope you can find another race to get into. I might have a strengthening week and then start a new training cycle and go after the Goodwood GP...

    [Albion] Do you believe "VAR is biased shit"?

    If Dan Burn wants to continue to stand in an offside position, we're going to experience the downside of VAR. It's only biased against players not clever enough either to not be offside, or to foul someone in a sneaky manner.

    Jesus. :down: That would be really frustrating. If it is definitely cancelled before the weekend, I'll resume attacking the parkruns on a weekly basis and get thinking about a new plan. Has it been really biblical consistently? In Brighton we've only really had a couple of bursts of extreme...

    [TV] The Apprentice 2019

    For anyone who remembers last years' crop - Sabrina is remarkable on Instagram. She is EXACTLY how she came across on the show, and I find it very hard not to be fascinated by her.

    The Cockney pillow salesman is one hell of a geezer. :lolol: The gents are amusing on the tour so at least it's an experience, the ladies are just a mess. Wonderful!

    [Albion] Albion’s U23s

    Which is why I didn't say he was. :thumbsup: He's supplementing the u23s team with a view to breaking into the first team.

    [Albion] Albion’s U23s

    It's amazing really - the best of the crop are out on loan, so the players in the team now are a mixture of younger players getting experience and in the case of Taylor Richards, next in line to step into the senior squad when required. The balance seems pretty good and the level of the players...

    [Football] Nathan Jones

    I have a bit of a habit of going through the team line ups for most games on a weekly basis using the Livescore app on my phone, and they may not be totally reliable - but if they're to be believed, the formation regularly changes from game to game and the players are in and out all over the...

    I do agree it wasn't something he was going to turn down. And I'm probably talking with a fair amount of hindsight, because I definitely thought it was the right move at the right time at the time. I think he's a good coach but he's struggled to establish what his best team is. He has switched...

    [Albion] Spurs hammered 2-7 at home, will there be a backlash on Saturday

    We should absolutely go after them. They crumbled like children, they were picked off at will and if we switch to 4-3-3 to get more players high up the pitch, we could overwhelm them. Ryan Montoya Webster Dunk Burn Bissouma Stephens Pröpper Jahanbakhsh Maupay Alzate I think this is a team...

    [Football] Nathan Jones

    Personally, I think it was the right move for him but at the wrong time. He would have been far better off taking a Championship job at the end of the season, so he could have had the whole transfer window in order to move on the players he didn't want or were earning too much for the club to...

    Serge Gnabry [Merged]

    To be fair, he was absolute rubbish in England and anybody who saw him would say that. Obviously, he wouldn't thrive under Pulis but he was no better for Wenger. He's gone to Germany and built a career, and is clearly one hell of a player now. Fair play to him, but dragging up old comments is...

    I may have to, if you're going to launch into a 5k! I look forward to hearing more about Philadelphia, not a bad setting for a Half Marathon. Presumably the course takes in the Rocky steps?! I don't think Mo is anything like Lance Armstrong, but I wouldn't be surprised if he is tainted in some...

    I had to step it up a bit to get back above you in the table. :thumbsup: I'm going to take a few weeks off the 5k pace train now - there'll be no PB attempts now until Christmas Day I don't think. Unless I get carried away and/or battle it out with big nuts which I think is on the cards? How...

    You do 6 x 200 metres in each set, with a 45 second recovery time between each 200m sprint. Do 6 of them, then have a 3-5 minute rest, and repeat the 6 sprints. You should basically be deceased by the end of it. :thumbsup: You're on fine form today, Gaffer :thumbsup:

    Despite my current workload, I made some time to read the whole thing - it makes me think of cycling articles I was reading before the final Lance judgement came out. It's like a story that everyone knows, but isn't public. I think the saddest thing about the whole thing is that tars everyone...

    I have a feeling that this year's Sabrina is going to be Carina; https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/profiles/1K6X8GKp9KhbTPBVwvHK32J/carina-lepore But young Lottie Lion will be fun, for name puns if nothing else; https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/profiles/2v4RB5xNwYLSngN4g1WFwRM/lottie-lion...
