The real problem is Nadal in France. Thiem is good on clay (fairly poor on the other surfaces) but even he can't touch Nadal on the clay in France. Nadal could easily win 2/3/4/5 more French Opens. It's a real shame for Federer that Wimbledon got away from him this year, but I can see Nadal...
I stopped watching at midnight, UK time. It seemed like a Nadal win in 3 at that stage, 5-5 in the 3rd although Medvedev had recovered the early break. I just assumed it would be a Nadal win in the tie break and boom, everyone's happy, we all go home. But no - brilliant fightback from the...
Great hustle, it's always good to pleasantly surprise yourself! Let us know the Chip Time and I'll add it into the table, ready to update the Half Marathon time as well. :thumbsup:
big nuts raising the 10k bar in our personal battle this morning - the Arena 80 10k will be our next battle. :thumbsup:
7 x 5k repeats for me this morning - the intention being to run all 7 in under 25 minutes. The first 6 were fine, the final was less so. My performance dropped off...
Cheers all, very proud of my performance today and surprised - I woke up too late to get to Peacehaven so Hove Promenade was second choice. Annoyingly, Peacehaven's winning time was 20:odd, my all time PB was only enough for 11th! There's some disappointment there but it doesn't overly matter. I...
The dream is still sub-3 around Leicester but the biggest difficulty I can see is that I'm struggling to pace myself over longer distances. Before Brighton this year (3:10) I was comfortably able to control my pace and running at 8 minutes per mile for a recovery, and then whatever pace for a...
5k PB smashed this morning. :albion2:
18:15 at Hove Promenade, awaiting official confirmation but no doubt about it, a PB for the first time since 23rd September 2017. I didn't feel too confident about getting a PB going in - I could get myself going in the warm up and felt heavy in the first...
I think it would have been a mistake for the Cowleys to jump ship at the first big opportunity, look at how Nathan Jones is getting on at Stoke. I think they're better off sticking with Lincoln, and taking an opportunity which comes up in the summer where they have the whole of pre-season to get...
I don't honestly think Corbyn cares either way - and that's been a huge part of the problem this whole time. He doesn't lead his party, they're as big a mess as the Conservatives. There is no agreement anywhere other than the Liberal Democrats (and the Brexit party as well, to be fair - the...
We can unilaterally withdraw Article 50, I believe? Just withdraw the damned thing and tell them that next time, we might not be such an embarrassing mess and we might actually go through with it! Alternatively - Johnson needs to get on the blower, sort out the Irish backstop and then put Auntie...
Democracy is electing representatives to act on behalf of the people. Which is what happened, and those representatives believe that the UK is not best served by leaving the EU without a viable deal. 3 years is enough - it can't be done, it's already cost however many jobs due to the uncertainty...
The next election will essentially be a straight referendum on a No Deal Brexit - if the Brexit people want it to happen, they have to vote Conservative. People who don't want Brexit at all have to vote Labour. Voting for The Brexit Party or Liberal Democrats will prevent either of the main...
4:45. :ohmy: That's dangerous pace. My quickest I believe is 5:35, which was the first mile of the Preston Park parkrun where I went on to run 18:30. Bit of a collapse from that early pace! Lobbing in a cheeky sub 5 mile would be bonkers for me currently - but you never know what next year will...
I agree, relegation would need dramatic belt tightening. We wouldn't be wanting to have £50k per week players floating around the squad and we'd need to generate plenty of revenue to replace the lost revenue. I just think we'd find it easier to balance the books than other clubs because we look...
I don't think so - if we go down, we can easily move on the expensive players. We could comfortably have a fire sale in the summer, generate a couple of hundred million notes and not even have to spend all that much money because Walton, White, Clake, Mlakar, Molumby, Sanders and their friends...
