I'm leaving for Terrace View shortly.  It had better be up to snuff is all I'm saying.

 

Enjoy your prawn sandwiches.

The EFL Trophy groups are drawn geographically, so if things fall right this weekend, there's every chance that next year there will be an EFL Trophy group with Blues, Solihull and our U21s

Win the group mate. Pride of the midlands mate. Proper Blooz. Won the EFL trophy in front of 120k.

There's no real answer to this. A lot of coaches and runners now promote lower milage training for marathons so you don't need to be running that much each week to be able to run one. I think the standard long run most people will aim to complete at least once in a marathon training cycle is 20 miles, but plenty of people manage it without that as well. 

But if you can run 10km now and you are looking at marathons next year, then there is absolutely no question you can 100% do it. Find one you like the look of and get signed up. 

Echo this really @pas5898 

I wasn’t a keen runner so started from zero. Proper training started in Jan. I was doing shorter runs in the week - 5/6/7 miles as I progressed. Then long ones at the weekend. I did a fair few 11/12/13 milers. My longest was 18 but only once. 

They say the key thing is getting time in your legs and strengthening them. Sounds like you have a good base so absolutely could do a marathon next year!

Actually now I think about it, if fingers crossed we've secured 4th after Pool v Spurs game we should play Olsen in goal for rest of league games

If you pick the right day you might have Chris Heck on there with you!

 

 

He heard there was some cocks*ckers in town. Mate. 

Crap performance all round. Couldn’t keep the ball. When we played it we cut through them but not often enough. Point closer in the end… just about! 

Hopefully we’re better Thursday and Tielemans and Martinez are back soon.

Seems I've joined the Terrace View club. 

Didn't buy my season ticket by 5.00 and by 9.00 there were no tickets anywhere

After a convoluted buying process I've managed to get a couple of TV tickets. Very expensive mistake.

Still, I suppose I can buy a few prawn sandwiches.

Anyone who boos me I'm going to waive my lower Holte season ticket in their face. 

Where were you when we were sh*t

Fair play mate, time isn't important in the slightest, you've achieved something that very few ever could. Dedication, commitment, strength, stamina to say the least. Nothing but respect mate, well done.

Thanks mate. The pictures tell their own story I think it was about 5 hours in the end so respectable at least! Hugely struggling between 16-20 but then was reinvigorated for the final 6.2 miles. The crowd were unbelievable all the way round!

Slot the front runner to replace Klopp. I don’t know much about him!

Superb news. Gives us excellent solidity and steadiness. He has done a truly miraculous job so far and he’s only just getting started. I can’t wait to see the journey continue. 

At this rate I’ll be happy with a rusty sheriffs badge as our new badge. The state of the comms around this rebrand is shocking.

Well he was at Man City just last season and the fee was nowhere near that when he moved to Middlesbrough. 

Man City obviously thought he was talented enough to take him on and he’s played at all England youth levels, however he gave an interview where he said he didn’t fit into Guardiola’s rigid playing system. 

It seems like he’s always had the talent but needed a manager who could work to his strengths. 

Sounds like he’s found the perfect manager now then! Feels like the sky is the limit for Rogers - really like him as a player!

The people on the Spurs forum Cock Gobbler or whatever it's called seem to be resigned to 5th place. 

Or as Heck calls them… Cocksuckers

Good luck to those running London Marathon tomorrow

I’d have backed him to take a pen last night - seems confident enough to tuck one away if needed. 

Great pen. Considering the slip and the time he had to wait to take it. Ice Man. 

Got to admit I was nervous when he stepped up for his pen, but he dispatched it beautifully. Well in Matty!

10 yellow cards, I don't remember one bad foul

Somehow managed to avoid suspensions for the next round too… I think!

Another quiet night for big Emi 2 great saves and the whole stadium on strings. Absolute mentalist. He’s the mate on a night out who ends up dancing on tables and fighting bouncers. 

Nice and easy as predicted @sidcow 

Martinez the ultimate wind up merchant. Thought he was a goner in the shootout!!

we've got the capability to absolutely breeze through this.  But also the capability to totally **** it up.  We're not quite Jekyll and Hyde but I'd love the really good Villa to turn up and leave me to just enjoy the game.

Now as much as we’d love this - you know that’s not how Villa tend to do things

Done!!

Good luck on Sunday, weather is looking okay for us.

Amazing thanks Andy!! Much appreciated. Yeah the forecast looks almost perfect! I’m looking forward to it now. 

I was reliably informed Rogers has the capability to fill all of Buendia’s hole quite comfortably. He’s got a lovely touch for a big man.
