Some good distances ran recently by yourself, fingers crossed the injury problems are behind you now.
Brighton Half next up for me, hopefully conditions are like this weekend.
I was massively in favour of Lallana & Welbeck; for me though Oxlade-Chamberlain has deteriorated worse than those two and I’m not convinced he’d be the player we need.

I saw them last Saturday and would agree it’s the best I’ve seen them in what must be a similar amount of gigs. Also helped by a special guest appearance by Jarvis Cocker
