Corleone

I got bored the other night and went out for a run.. I did a 4 mile run and was absolutely buzzing. I've only ever run upto half an hour on a treadmill, but this was 14% inclines and drops and all sorts (around Cradley area to Halesowen College).

I weigh about 13.5 stone so I didnt think I had it in me.

My body hurts, although not as much as I thought it would. So yea, pretty happy, fancy doing it again soon

Oh, it took me 46 mins too lol. Don't know if thats good or bad.

no such thing as a bad run mate

Heskey out for 4 or 5 weeks Collins injured too

Smiling about any Villa player being injured is disgusting! If we had more players like Heskey willing to put a shift in we wouldn't be as bad as we are.

Could you imagine a team of 11 heskeys :shock:

Can't believe we can't score with a £24 million rated England striker, oh I forgot, he is a money chasing, lazy mercenary, good riddance when he goes

doesnt matter who we had up front today, no creativity = no goals

bumped for the lolz

Gastric Band

I Liked their early stuff up until they introduced that **** flute player.

It all went downhill from there.

I have a bad feeling that we are going to lose this very late on!

why would you be in any way surprised if this happened?

well , Stoke are either going to get a winner or an equalizer in the last 3 mins, depends on whether we are able to sneak a goal

its like watching a really shit match from the early 80's

GOD This is dire

we must be the most boring team on gods earth to watch as a neutral

Im starting to wonder whether we will even finish top 5 this season now

Signed up for the Silverstone half next March, trying to get some longer runs in before then (13 - 16 miles) so that the distance on the day is not an issue

done a few 9s and 10s and managed a 12 miler yesterday (7-30mm) pace

4 points thrown away now in the last few minutes of games away from home. First QPR now this shit.

Sorry but this is going to be a long, hard and shit season.

Get Clark or Cuellar in the back 4. How the **** can we keep conceding so many late goals in the first and second half of any game?

2 seasons now we have put up with this shit. Sort it out McLeish. You're being paid £2.5m a year to do that

.

its been happening for 30 years i dont know why it surprises people now

A bit of both.

tactics are far far far too defensive and long ball and everyone knows it.

However, it isn't helped when we play it on the floor every time the ball is passed to the likes of NZogbia , he loses it.

I thought today showed something up also. It showed how much running off the ball Bent does. Bent's movement, although not getting his own goals, was creating space for others. Take Bent out and we are buggered.

So far I am less than impressed with McLeish and I think the attendance against Wigan will show I am not alone.

However, I will reserve full judgement until I see Bent upfront and a midfield of Petrov , Jenas and either Bannan or Ireland - as I think that is the preferred line up.

That depends on whether anyone else turns up

Bloody terrible first half.

But proved in the second half we can play, so the haters were wrong; we can,

So improving, team getting used to the manager and vise versa.

Some players off form, let's support them hey, there is a shocking idea!

Dress it up anyway you want, fact is

we have a poor midfeild, no attacking threat and a frail defence

added to this we have the lack of bottle we have always gone hand in hand with villa sides for as long as i can remember.

one bright note for me however is that whereas in the past, this would have spoilt my weekend, this has happened so many times in the past, i fully expected it , even when we had a corner at 92:30 seconds against 10 men.

i even put some money on us after 86 mins that we would somehow bottle it and end up snatching a draw from the jaws of victory @8-1

safe in the knowledge that this match like countless others in the past would see us throwing away at the death.

one things for sure, although they have managed to knock out any remaining passion i had for the club, at least history tells me i am in with a good chance of making a few bob on them this season if i go by the assumption that if we are leading with 10 mins to go, lump a couple of quid on the other team getting a goal.

**** this, i cant watch this brand of football any more i dont care if by some miracle we do scrape a draw against mighty QPR, this is depressing

We are horrible to watch

Im starting to get some speed and stamina back after my hernia op in July

just got back from a 30min run which came to 4.45 miles on my garmin (6.44min) pace

just need to lose 15lbs i've managed to put on over the last couple of years and then look at running a couple of Half marathons next year

good luck to those running in the Birmingham one next month

horse

get used to it

Fabien Delph looked impressive on Saturday

do you think he will succeed this season in becoming good enough for us to be able to sell him to one of the top 6 clubs at the end of the season?

ahh the humanoids are temporarily placated

As i said on the generals thread last week and i quote

"2010/11 Left Winger - Ashley Young

2011/12 Left Winger - Emile Heskey" whats going on?

Unfortunately the comment was deemed offensive enough to delete

so i will re-iterate the point here for what its worth

I Iz in

Just back from my first proper run after a Hernia op on Jul 05th no niggles to report 4.11miles in 30mins

did some cycling and elliptical work last week to test the waters so to speak

its a big relief to be back on the roads again!

General

have you ever played in a football match

what position did you play.

if not , what type of footballer do you think you would have been in your prime, a speedy winger, creative midfielder ,defensive cloggero perhaps a goal poacher?
