    Nice one fella! Rome wasn't built in a day - my first 5k took me almost 35 minutes and included a nice walk section. :lolol: Make sure that you're doing plenty of strengthening work, as well as running. And not just running distances, going out and running 3-5 miles is great for your endurance...

    [Albion] Alireza Jahanbakhsh joins Feyenoord

    If the club shop are going to charge a flat fee for any name and number, Jahanbakhsh 16 is comfortable the most economical. The young lad is clearly a savvy consumer.

    [Albion] Albion sign Man City starlet

    Obviously it's based on last night. Do you remember seeing Bobby Zamora's debut against Plymouth? It was clear then that he was a player. Taylor Richards is a quality player, already. The question is whether he's going to be a Zamora or a Razak.

    [Albion] Albion sign Man City starlet

    Last night gave us one thing - the debut of Taylor Richards. He's going to be a star, hopefully for us!

    Hove Park this morning for me, for the first time since 16th March! I was a bit dopey, during my discussion with penny's harmonica at the end, I mistakenly thought my watch was telling me I'd run 4.01km in 5:04 per KM, but in actual fact it was the other way around - 5:04km in 4:01 per KM...

    [Albion] Knockaert joins Fulham on initial one-year loan

    It is a shame, but it's inevitable when somebody is about to leave. Personally, I'm not unhappy or necessarily surprised, but I'll never be anti-Knockaert. He is one of the main reasons we got promoted and one of the main reasons we stayed up. I don't think he's quite cut out for the Premier...

    [Albion] no sign of tickets for Crawley

    I'm looking forward to this one this evening. :albion2: I may or may not be getting involved in the Valencia friendly, but definitely piling into this one tonight.

    [Albion] The 'Potter promotes youth players' fallacy

    It wasn't all that long ago that Aaron Wan-Bissaka was a total unknown up the road, he got thrown in because of an injury crisis. He was nowhere. Marcus Rashford at Man Utd had never been in the squad, and then when there was literally nobody else, he got thrown in for a start in the Europa...

    [Politics] The Moose

    That's Dutch international Nathan Ake? The point remains though, they are very good at nurturing talent. And having the confidence to actually play them. They're talking about signing Jack Butland, which would be ideal for them. They build a squad very diligently, although expensively. Butland...

    [Albion] The great unwanted

    And his house by Hove Park has big For Sale signs up outside. Not a good sign for anyone who hopes to see him get a second chance!

    [Albion] Neal Maupay *** SIGNED from Brentford - 4 year deal - undisclosed fee ***

    The biggest issue is that if you leave them and they have another extremely profitable season, their price will be even higher. One good season in the Championship got Daniel James a £15million move to the Manchester United and he didn't even play the full season! But if they hadn't pulled the...

    [Albion] Neal Maupay *** SIGNED from Brentford - 4 year deal - undisclosed fee ***

    I don't know why the jury is out - what are they waiting for? His goals for us show what he's good at, you give him a chance in the box and bang, goal. As we all know, the team wasn't set up to get the best out of individuals last season and we rarely created chances for him. And when he did...

    [Albion] Neal Maupay *** SIGNED from Brentford - 4 year deal - undisclosed fee ***

    But if we're going to play a more mobile centre forward, we already have Andone and Locadia. I agree that Maupay looks a very handy finisher, but you can make the same argument for Locadia. Give him those chances in the box and he takes them. I don't strongly rate him outside the box, but inside...

    [Albion] Dunk to Leicester City?

    The irony is that Alderweireld is the best centre back available, and he's the cheapest! Obviously, Villa would not be able to get him and neither would we or Leicester. But United should be absolutely battering down the door to get him for £25m. I doubt they've got home grown player concerns...

    [Albion] Knockaert joins Fulham on initial one-year loan

    He will score more goals, create more assists and be more feared and loved in the Championship. What's not to like? Plus, I don't think there's much danger he'd need to take a paycut to join Fulham. If I were him, I'd rather thrive in the Championship than struggle in the Premier League.

    [Albion] Dunk to Leicester City?

    In all seriousness, I think very highly of the Leicester squad - but their defence is badly exposed. Wes Morgan was rubbish last season, absolutely rubbish. He shouldn't even still be at the club, let alone being spoken about as a regular player. They should be looking to mug him off for someone...

    [Albion] Sander Berge

    Absolutely - but if he's not already attracting the level of club he wants to, he might not have a choice. I think this is the type of deal we could only realistically do at the end of the window. If he hasn't gotten himself a move to a club he thinks he's already capable of playing for, he...
