I was delighted when we brought in Bridge, Upson, Lallana & Welbeck, however Ross Barkley is vastly overrated and would add very little to our squad.
Given a choice I’d rather have previously suggested Juan Mata at 35 than him.
Two already mentioned, being the Thursday morning York game and the petrol crisis Blackpool away.
I was also there when Ross Johnson scored two goals in a match against Swansea away on a Friday night. Travelling support about 60. Coincidentally they were Ross’s only two goals for the club...
Amazing series, I’d put it ahead of Breaking Bad, but I can see an argument for both.
It’s right up there in terms of greatest ever TV series. Perhaps only The Wire & Sopranos that can top it.
That comparison doesn’t hold up. Kids playing in the park is somewhat different, to a load of blokes playing franchise cricket. The equivalent would be football setting up a 5 aside league with x3 10 minute half’s with light show, and goal music.
The hundred is dreadful for so many reasons...
Good to see you this morning. I didn’t have a token, so unofficial time on my watch was 20:48. I’d run 9.5 miles before the start, the final 5 at 6:49 average pace. Rounded up after to around 23k. Tough going with 8+ miles at 6:45ish.
It’s pushing me towards entering the Chester Marathon on...
I’ve never tried midweek, but a fair few weekend’s I’ve got in through an open door, which is down the disabled ramp, in between the pub and leisure centre.
If you can’t sneak in it’s £5.05, not sure what it is for pensioners though!

Can make a good 2nd XI, with Panesar to come in for a bowler if a spin option is required.

I’m glad you enjoyed it. Mile 2 up to Mile 3 is brutal and just running up that hill is a sign of good fitness.
It’s a good event, well organised and supported in a nice setting.
I’ll be there next week, but in a marshalling capacity, so I can hurl abuse at you, where ever I’m stationed.
