We were right on the finish line when the crash happened - he actually got up and managed to ride his bike over the line with that plank sticking through his leg. It took a while for him to get medical attention as he'd continued around the bend and nobody seemed to realise he was there! As he...

Just seen the whole team at Warwick Services on the M40, looking very dapper in their matching track suits. Surprised they're travelling up this late - and outraged that Tony Bloom's wealth doesn't stretch to a personal helicopter for Glenn Murray.

Enjoying the games so far - they're passing the time on the drive to the Manchster Velodrome (I'm not behind the wheel).

Been meaning to sign up to this for ages. My user name is Flakehound if anyone wants to challenge me.

The problem, as I see it, with the way this game is going, is that it fails to take into account the Aquarian Ministrations (appendix ii) of the pre-equatorial trade-off. Once you realise this, you’ll see that the only logical move is to Perivale.

Would probably have gone, had it not been for the fact that Mr B&WS and I have tickets for the World Track Cycling Championships at the Manchester Velodrome. We'd been hoping for Man City away, as it would have meant we could have nipped out of the velodrome, crossed the road, watched the match...

You were the one who said they went to football. I just wanted to clarify that not all of them do.

Someone earlier in this thread (sorry, can't be arsed to find it again) said they were in some way related to one of the 'characters' in the photograph, and that he (or one of the others) had never been to a match in his tawdry little life. The 'tawdry little' bit is my addition, by the way.

One more reason (if one were needed) not to listen to Talk Sport.

Have to agree with this.

Am I opening up a can of worms by suggesting it's less of a culture thing and more of a male thing? You don't see many elite women athletes - or indeed those who simply do sport to keep fit - flobbing out a grolly at every opportunity in the way some men do.

Call me Pollyanna, but I see nothing but positives in the whole situation (now that it's resolved). At no point in the past 15 years would we have done anything but bite off the hand of any club that came in with a fair (or even unfair) offer. Norwich were keen, so was Bennett, but Bloom stood...

That piece by Paul Hayward is superb. And an interesting insight into the two protagonists' personalities.

We asked the guy who processed our season ticket applications at last Friday's presentation. Apparently the boxes for the numbers were too small (have to be 5mm) and there was a bullet point that should have been a dash, or vice versa (yes, really).

We've definitely become far too obsessed with how much water we drink. We get a lot of our intake through a healthy diet. This is an entertaining read on the subject: http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/food-and-drink/features/the-water-myth-debunking-the-dilution-solution-2121712.html

Daniel Craig serving me at my seat? :love:

Hopefully train, but I suspect I'll be sharpening my elbows as I'll be getting on at London Road station. Other than that, bike.

We had two today showing our seperate fan numbers on the cards

Gorillaz - Plastic Beach Bowie - Ziggy Stardust (30th aniversary edition), space oddity Jonny Cash live at Folsom prison Plus Nick Cave albums all at £3

The technique is called 'Nothing in life is free' - there's a good explanation of it here: Nothing in Life is Free Also, is your dog castrated? If he isn't, book him in to get them whipped off. He doesn't need them and it might help with the behaviour.
