I can - Max O’Leary, away to Swansea in the FA cup

I did London a few years back, it’s a great event and i loved the crowds etc, i was off the back of a bad bout of covid in the July which really affected me so didn’t run a great race, if i was you I’d build slowly, lots of zone 2 work and on the day you will be fine. I’d get starting now though if you have not started your training. Good luck too, keep us informed of progress and how you get on

I’m currently wearing Saucony endorphin 3s, very comfy and the stripe reminds me of the City badge too!! Currently on sale for less than £100 https://www.sportsshoes.com/product/sau4568/saucony-endorphin-speed-3-running-shoes-~-aw22/#sku-sau4568

The legal system is a joke at times - i know that first hand.

I wanted Spurs or West Ham

Yes - good point. I shall keep an eye on this as will be interesting to see what happens.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out - obviously Bolton will appeal the red, but as the officials have seen it and dealt with it (albeit wrongly) can they retrospectively send a player off or sanction him? I’m unsure of the rules but i thought there was something that if the ref has dealt with it there and then, nothing else can be done…..I’m probably wrong!!

TBF i don’t see much wrong with that, Gerrard was the front man for the coaching team he put together, he took a good punt on Beale and it proved a wide decision.

It’s not as simple as it was back in Shankleys day that’s for sure

I’ve seen one and thought onside - mate who sits in Lansdown was right in line and reckons on

Eubanks got to him, a stupid line of questioning from Smith which came back to bite him!! Would like to have been a fly on the wall when his wife heard this!!

Couldn’t have enjoyed it that much as didn’t stick around very long ??

That all Had to be done - there was no choice, we haven’t sold anyone, we have released players which has contributed to the reduction in wages, and offered players extensions with a take it or leave it offer as that’s where we are as a club!Id fancy that gig for the money. I’d also very much doubt he had much to do with the actual organisation of the AG8 celebrations either as that would be a job for someone else. As said, not saying he’s not done anything but not sure I’m going to ‘miss him’

You say a big loss - but what has he done to make you think that? (I’m not saying he won’t be by the way, i don’t know)

This Sykes is useless

I’m not sure, that Birmingham display was shambolic, a keeper has to be better than that for the reported money he’s on

Out of interest and not a ‘dig’ What does done ‘properly’ mean?

Bin the drum

Hahahaha i had the Fiorentina pizza last night!! It was nice enough but you’re absolutely right it’s deffo not Authentic!! However all enjoyed their meal and for the 8 of us (no starters or dessert) was about £150 or so with a drink each. I’ve been in the Tudor before, i also won’t return unless I’ve had about 10 pints and it’s about 11pm!!

I went to Il Gusto on chipping sodbury high street last night, in the group we all had pizzas and various pasta dishes but all very much enjoyed, very reasonable prices too.

1000% right - we have spoken many times, the best atmosphere I’ve been too in recent seasons from home fans Is Coventry and Birmingham who are right next to the away fans. I take the youngster now but I’d be saying to the lads if it was me, screw sitting here, it’s rubbish, let’s get back to A block and do our own thing, it won’t take long for the others to follow.

Possibly - not sure how you would have got your ticket without the proof though as these were print at home tickets and I’m sure the large majority would have had proof. Still, it’s done now so time for me to get over it ??

Point 3 exactly I can tell you i wasn’t impressed having missed 25 mins or so of the first half to literally be given a piece of paper with information i already knew on it, there was never going to be a single issue with seats today, as you say there were 13k empty seats in the ground. Why couldn’t you just show the confirmation at the turnstile and then be let in?

I thought the crowd were decent enough in the 2nd half to be fair

Atkinson should be able to deal with that ball on any foot or he should not be a professional footballer. I thought we were terrible first half, completely lost the midfield, 2nd half by far the better side and with a little more composure from some good attacking areas we would have won the game.
