    [Football] Russell Slade

    Not exactly being ignored entirely though, is it? If it was every game until the new year, then maybe you could argue he was being ignored. But he was playing up to April, pretty much covering off the whole season. I know there was the falling out with Murray and there was talk of others, but I...

    [Football] Russell Slade

    But Butters did play 26 times that season, including playing right up to April. Did the mistreatment of him happen afterwards? We won his final 2 games in the side so I can't imagine he was being punished for a costly error or anything like that. Genuinely interested because I've not heard...

    I am in for the track session idea - I think an indvidual 5k and a Weakest Link style relay would be ideal. Maybe use the 5k results to determine the team line ups? Depending entirely on numbers! 12 would be the ideal for 3 teams of 4, but 3 teams of 3 wouldn't be unreasonable either. Or two...

    [Football] Russell Slade

    Gordon Greer and Billy Paynter both scored in that Swindon game. We were basically relegated after that, I really felt that was it. But then we go to Colchester a couple of days later and get the win which kick started the whole thing. Amazing end to the season, it still feels more like...

    Welcome to the thread, I should think that there are a lot of lurkers but any runner is welcome here! Toward the end of the Brighton Marathon this year I felt my core generally seizing up a bit - I was trying to stretch it out in running but it was really uncomfortable and slowed me down quite...

    [Football] WSL numbers out - are YOU excited?

    Apologies Wozza - my post wasn't aimed at you at all, it was aimed at posts 8, 9 and 11. The thread isn't the problem, just those specific responses. Especially regarding Emily Simpkins.

    I've never been interested in track running, but the more big nuts posts about his adventures, the more interested I become. It's definitely my intention to go for the 1 mile race at the end of September - try and open up a little bit knowing it's all on the line. Not sure which parkrun I'll...

    Another incredibly sad thread about the women's team. Stay classy.

    [Albion] Jurgen Locadia season-long loan to Hoffenheim

    Yes, because it's jinxed. Rodriguez, Baldock and Locadia... cursed!

    [Football] England Squad

    100% - you didn't see players just breaking through walking straight into the first team. I can only really think of Wayne Rooney jumping straight into the squad, even Gerrard and Lampard had to play in the u21s beforehand. James Milner, on the other hand, had to play 50 times for the u21s until...

    [Albion] Alireza Jahanbakhsh joins Feyenoord

    Witchcraft? We spent 3 years tracking a top class right winger, eventually we got our man. This forum even tracked his plane coming in and posted pictures of him on Montefiore Road about to go for his medical! But now the decision has been made he's no good, because he spent a year playing in...

    Sorry, how much did you personally splash out on him?

    [Football] Fat Sam

    Doesn't stop people on here having a go at Harry Redknapp. :thumbsup: For what it's worth - I have cynically wondered why Sam hasn't stepped in to help Bolton, not that it's his responsibility to do so. Presumably, the club is in an absolute mess but the infrastructure is there. They have the...

    [Albion] Jurgen Locadia season-long loan to Hoffenheim

    This is arguably the first transfer decision which has been made for the benefit of a younger player coming through. Aaron Connolly is now right in the first team picture and we could see him sitting on the bench, or at least travelling with the squad, whilst Andone is unavailable. Locadia is...

    [Albion] Alireza Jahanbakhsh joins Feyenoord

    I didn't see the game, no. So I didn't comment on the game, only on the nature of this thread in general. It's an echo chamber, the people who see a player in him say so, the people who don't repeat the same. Time and time again. I hardly think it's reasonable to judge him in one game, with a...

    Anyone who has Steve Carrell as an avatar has real potential for greatness. :thumbsup: It's infectious, this running lark - go along, and enjoy! Definitely a no from me, but Arena 80 AC 10k will be a go - if the Leicester marathon hasn't killed me two weeks beforehand. I doubt I'll be...

    [Football] Aberystwyth Town 1 TNS 10

    To be fair, you're not stopping a full fit and in form Bill Whitehouse. When he's in the mood, he's a goalscorer in the Francis Jeffers mould. Deadly.
