    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!

  2. 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.

    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!

  4. 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.

    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 😅

    Yeah, really nice course. Despite living 20 minutes from Leicester I'd never been to Abbey Park before, and it was really lovely. My daughter did it in 59:58, and she was aiming for sub 1hr so got in by the very tiniest of margins. I wanted sub 55 mins and did in a couple of seconds under as well, so all good!

    My wife will be targeting under an hour I think - she’s enjoyed getting into running.

  10. Just now, Risso said:

    Ah that would have been good mate. Saw one brave lass there in a Villa shirt. Me and my daughter who was running as well gave her an ‘Up the Villa’! How did your missus get on?

    We saw her too so me and my 2 little lads gave her the UTV too 😆 we also saw a poor older lady collapse and nastily wound her head. Not good. 

    My Mrs did well, was her second 10k and managed 1:02 which she was pleased with. She did one in Sutton Coldfield a few weeks back which was really hilly so googled the flattest 10k and Leicester was one of those!

    Did the Leicester Big 10K today, good fun, around Abbey Park in the city centre. 

    I was there with my wife on Sunday. She ran the 10k - really enjoyed the day and she said the course was great to run! Wish I’d known you were there I’d have tried to say hello! 

    Im off to London the Excel tomorrow to collect my number ahead of Sunday. Looking forward to it now!

    I think there are rules (possibly even laws) that prevent clubs moving geographically outside of their traditional city/home. I'm not sure if they'd consider Solihull a suburb of Birmingham and therefore it would be okay - the NEC itself is Birmingham following a bit of chicanery with the swap for North Solihull ( a bit of Chelmsley Wood) - but I don't think any of the surrounds would be.

     

    Solihull is a B post code so surely classed as the Birmingham area?

    Edit - not that I’m advocating moving to Solihull!

  13. The NEC struggled with the camping and caravan show so it would struggle as it stands with the mighty Villa coming to town. 

    I’m not against moving full stop, but where that would be to I have no idea. Something big feels like it’s brewing though.
