Was stuck for something to watch tonight, so scrolled through this thread. Managed to watch first 2 episodes. Good so far.

Could this be the least interesting fixture for a long, long while? Can’t seem to get up for it at all. Tickets being offloaded left, right and centre on social media. Are other folk feeling a bit fed up already, so early in the season?

Only just watched the Overlap when Gary Neville interviews Roy Keane in the forest walking his dog. Very good. Anyone know which forest it was….. and don’t say Nottingham….. or Sherwood.

Done well the lad. Berlin, Boston, Berlin (again) and Amsterdam.

The Reckoning, Maxine, Beckham, Race to the Summit – all been good to watch in recent weeks. Just waiting on the last episode of Race Across The World (celebrity series). Been pretty decent so far.

Soup Dragons a week on Friday. Going to be mint!

Yep, we spotted that as well.

As we all know, blanket bombing a country/area/city only creates more and more terrorists. How many of these children will grow up blaming Hamas for this escalation? Few if any. They will only see Israeli aggression and destruction. They will seek revenge. It’s a cycle that continues and continues. And by taking a side (as Downing Street did and Sheffield City Hall) by flying the flag of Israel, we will probably end up feeling the brunt of this terrorism ourselves further down the line. What’s more the Arab world will only see one side to all of this. That’s dangerous.

I think by telling the Gazan’s to leave immediately, but then closing all access routes out of there except the one leading into Egypt…. But then bombing the exit into Egypt…. That’s pure aggression against civilians. The Israeli’s are as bad as Hamas IMO. They are systematically starving them and pre this weekend, I’m sure there’ll have been enough going on that we don’t know about from the Israelis. It’s a fucked-up situation and impossible to take a side.

Also, had a calf injury since my Ultra in early Sept, so only managed 2x 3 miles and 1x 6 miles runs in the month before my marathon at the weekend. Have tried my best to counter the injury with cycling and home workouts. But like Aldo and Nowack say, I feel the urge to refuel after I’ve exercised, maybe not directly after, but not long.

I’m blaming the carbs! Also had a couple of family birthdays in Sept which has meant cake, cake and lots of cake!! Wife baked cookies with the youngest at weekend. I’m like a smack addict knowing we’ve a Tupperware box full of these cookies. 2 mins in the air fryer and they are soft and moist and totally delicious.

Good win and NRR improved.

US moving in warships. Fuck me. It’s all going tits-up! Bet Putin is dancing on the table right now.

Haha!

I’ve enjoyed the first half listening to it, which surprises me. Usually prefer the brawling, drunkard hard men!! Listened to Matt Elliott and Mick Hatford last week, both decent.

NZ look pretty decent to be fair. But not the greatest start for England. Doesn’t look like Stokes will be fit to play tomorrow either.

Did the Goyt Valley Challenge on Saturday. Another trail/fell marathon. Was tough but came in 14th out of 88. Which I was pretty pleased about. I was actually 13th, but forgot to tap-in at the finish line. The guy behind me told me I’d not tapped… as he tapped himself and nicked my placing! Haha. Got a big cooked pie at the end. In fact the food the whole way around the route was belting. All locals, farmers, etc manning the check points. The highlight being Kettleshulme village hall. All the old dears in there couldn’t do enough for you. As someone new to this running malarkey, found Saturday refreshing as it only cost me £21. As opposed to some of the bigger events at £75+. Still struggling to shift weight though!

Posted before…. But only a couple more weeks until The Soup Dragons kick start their reunion tour in Manchester. Going to be belting!

But didn’t Britain start it before handing the hot coal to the UN?

25 rand to the pound? FML. Folk should be flocking there instead of anywhere else now.

Couldn’t make it and sold my tickets for £5 each on Twickets.

Not read anything but some of the photos make him look ‘a bit simple’. Saying that, heard a few interviews with current set-up and they say its been amazing having him involved. Can only presume he’s actually coaching which would be tough with brain damage. From a news report 2 days ago…. “it has already been suggested that the father of four wasn't wearing a safety helmet during the incident, a source has now told them that Freddie’s telling final words before the smash were “Do I need a helmet?”

100%

If fit and he’s not starting… what was the point of re-signing him? I don’t know if its just me, but the more that fans demand a certain player to be picked (John, Sadlier, JDB), the more IE doesn’t select them.

3 nights in Lisbon wins. Been twice before, but memories are vague (especially the Sporting Lisbon trip).
