We’ve ordered a Škoda Enyaq. Won’t arrive before sometime after summer, probably September. 

Unbelievable. It really is. There have been times, many times in fact, over the last decade I thought this was never going to happen. 

"Die Meister! Die Besten! Les grandes équipes!The champions!"
 

Get used to it, boys. We’re playing Champions League football next season. 

Insane. Absolutely bonkers.

Brilliant by Ollie that. Hope we can steady things up a bit now. 

Yeah, I’m not sure it’s our night boys. 

When We Were Kings. 

Shame for you guys it’s in Swedish

(It’s really f***ing excellent.) 

Not to take anything away from Olympiacos, but I still think we’ve been incredibly unlucky over the two legs. That being said, we look like there is absolutely nothing left in the tank for us and that we just desperately need Spurs to drop the necessary points and the season to be over.

We look like a team that has nothing left in the tank.

Choking the whole season down the home stretch. ****. 

F*** off ref.

Terrible game of football.

Nothing is 'the end of the world', it's just football. But I'd like to have won this trophy, because I haven't seen us win a European trophy, and this could easily be the best chance we get in my lifetime. I don't really care if you don't rate the competition.

Absolutely. Today was gut-wrenching. Haven’t been this down about a Villa result in ages. I really wanted to win this. 

Very weird game. Not often you see a luckier side than tonight’s edition of Olympiacos.

Glad to hear you're getting back to it and making progress. 

Not seen the Bruce Lee stuff, assuming it's very calisthenics based, maybe high volume and low rest times?

Yep, pretty much. 8 different sets of 10 reps each, then repeat it all. 

Thanks!

I’ve put at least half back on, thank god. 

Anyone here ever tried any of the so-called Bruce Lee workout variants you can find online? I’ve done it a couple of times lately, and I don’t know how effective it is yet, but f*** me it’s brutal!

Did my first 10k in two years a couple of weeks ago and struggled badly on my way to finishing it in 58 mins. Really need to step up. 

Got it down to 55:30 today. Progress, at least.

We’re gonna win this thing. 

This is massively disappointing. 

Couldn’t be bothered checking for existing threads.

The missus and I have booked flights to Lisbon for a week in July, and we’re looking for where to stay. The plan is to have two days in Lisbon, and five days in some small coastal town. Finding a place in Lisbon should be no problem, but I’m looking for a nice little town along the coast within an hour from Lisbon (either direction is fine.) Ideally somewhere not too touristy, nice sandy beaches, decent food. Ericeira has come up as an alternative, but it’s nice to have some options before we decide anything. 

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

The Swedes continue their absolute world class tifo game. Malmö FF this time, with a 3D display I’ve never seen the like of before:

Injury free now, so can resume full traning. Haven’t done any pull lifts at all for months, and have done very little overall too. I have to force myself back into a proper routine now, as I felt like a f***ing newbie in the gym yesterday.
