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.

Amazing thank you!! It’s really appreciated! 

Oh and worth putting this out there too. This is the charity I am running for linked to my sons condition

Been to the Excel today to collect my number! Excited for Sunday now. Need to pin and stick everything down but looking good!

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! 

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.

Just looking at their away record, it's the second worst in the league, just three wins and twelve points I don't think it's beyond the realms of possibility that Huddersfield and even Rotherham could beat them. Need Rotherham to be motivated for it though, season over for them, and they might have it somewhere in their minds that it would be better to be relegated with some of the other teams who would perhaps provied less competition for promotion from League One next season

Yeah they’re nowhere near home and dry. Hopefully they drop points at Rotherham and lose to Huddersfield. Right in the mire then!

Aside issue, did anyone see the size of his cock after that challenge in the  the first half wow? Not quite follies foot but a fair length. 

 

Can’t say that I did… but now I need to see this…!

Sign him up. 100%. Have a feeling he’s just going to get better and better.

Brilliant today. Probably my MOTM. Excellent work

Fantastic performance today. Oozes class and confidence! Can’t wait to see him develop further. 

Wow! What a piece (the watch not Pep!)

Same gear isn’t it? 
 

I really hope they don’t manage to squirm their way out of this one!…

have a sneaky feeling that Leicester might choke in the run in and miss automatic promotion

Do you have the lottery numbers?

Good luck mate, I’m sure it will be brilliant!

Did the London Landmarks half yesterday, first time me and my daughter Izzi have run that far. Weather was an annoying mix of bright sun and ferocious wind. Got round in 2:12. Would have liked closer to 2:00 but we were in a slow wave with a very packed start and the wind was brutal.

Thanks mate. Yeah I went out yesterday for a run and the wind, rain and sun was unpredictable can imagine it was a nightmare for a race day. 

I’m hoping for 4.5/5 hours for London but not putting any pressure on myself. I’m more concerned about the time my family will be waiting around for me

I feel better going into this one than the last time as I struggled with my IT band massively whereas this time I’ve managed my load and my body a lot better. 

Hopefully English teams do well this week in Europe and we can feel a bit more confident 5th will be enough for CL.

There is no way we could replace Ollie with one footballer. The strategy would have to be to analyse and break down Ollie’s key attributes. His creativity, his assists, his goals. To find these qualities and others in three forward players.

In the aggregate. 

However - There is no way anyone is paying what we would demand for Watkins after this season. 

Quickly becoming one of my favourite players. Massive prospect and such an exciting player.

Big, raw, talented - he's a real prospect.

 

Think I've seen this one too…

Kidderminster Harriers still clinging on to their National League place, just about. Phil Brown came in a few months ago and has a decent record taking over from Russ Penn. 

They beat top of the league Chesterfield 3-1 away yesterday in an unexpected win keeping them in touch with the teams above them. Would be a huge turnaround if they do manage to survive!
