Dr Who?

Well one day your doom and gloom will be right..law of averages and all that. We will turn it round.

Over 700 miles of training miles since June 2012, and 3 stone lighter, and the fittest I have been for about 15 years. My wife who had SPD, and gave birth in January has lost of 4 stone. Today me and Mrs Dr.Who completed the London to Brighton bike ride, and it was a fantastic experience. I want to thank you all of you who sponsored us, you have kept us going through the very wet training in the early days. I made it up the Beacon, but the wife could not due to pain in the hips and knees. Apart from that we cycled together all the way, and went over the finish line together.

I will let this main board get back to defensive issues.

This is true, and you will find a lot of thrashings have a 1 for the other team.

Ha ha ha

Have people really said this? I find that hard to believe!

That is the first goal Arsenal have conceded this season!

Get in!!!!!

Before you all kill yourself please sponsor me! http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/fundraiser-web/fundraiser/showFundraiserProfilePage.action?userUrl=Simsgocycling

Cheers Sanwich, so generious of you, sat relaxing with my feet up..... Shame about the football!

Would love to see it, but would also love to see us and them have their own websites!

The 49ers continue to surprise me, with a great win over the packers. Can they again get to the semis or even further?!

Well, here's hoping for something on the pitch today, then off to London to the wonderful travelodge, which is 1 mile from the start line. Set off tomorrow at 8:30am. The support has been amazing and now we really want 1,000 with gift aid. Still time to donate if you want to. http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/fundraiser-web/fundraiser/showFundraiserProfilePage.action?userUrl=Simsgocycling My Saints top is at the ready!

This weekend sees the start of the English Premier Ice Hockey. The team I adopted back in 1996 when I moved to Guildford for 2 years and worked at the leisure centre that hosts their games. It just happened to be the same time they were smashing everyone in sight. So we are off again. Any of you follow any of the teams in this league? Would love to get to see more games, and would also love to live in the area again. http://www.guildfordflames.com/fixtures http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_Premier_Ice_Hockey_League

Well last season really did takeme by surprise with the game of the season involving my fav team the 49ers. This season I do not see them doing as well as last year, a little bit of unrest over the quarter back position and looking for a new number one over smith, leave me with doubt. I think Green Bay will win it this year now they have sorted out their defence, but I think the Patriots will be there or there abouts. Bring it on!!!

Tumbleweed...... ......I am sure there were at least 10 people interested in cycling, but they seem to have vanished. I think a cycle from Southampton to Reading and back, for the Saints foundation would be good? If not a cycle to a game a bit further in London and then drink!

He is a long way off considering Holte banged in many goals last season and did not get a call up.

It is a good shirt, but it is not Saints. I have tried to give it a go, but it is just not doing it for me. I will probably buy it for me and my daughter at the Villa game though.

Well here we go with the last weekend of training before the big day next weekend. I cannot believe how quickly it as gone! Going to do 40 miles this afternoon, and then next week a couple of short rides and then rest before the event. Thanks again to everyone who has sponsored, we are so close to our target now, so please give if you said you were going to, or even if you have been watching this page but not yet sponsored us. 3 stone down down and as fit as I have been for years, signing up to this event is the best thing we have done!! http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/fundraiser-web/fundraiser/showFundraiserProfilePage.action?userUrl=simsgocycling&isTeam=true

Oldham home in the cup, where did all the injury time come from? I can still see the ball now coming off benali into our net at the Milton end! The weird thing is we did not lose we drew, I think 2-2. We all knew that we would lose on the artificial pitch at Oldham. Also losing to Luton around about the same time, same kind of thing, but lost on the night.

Right last full week of training Need to do 15 x 2 and a 45 mile at the weekend, and then next week 2 x 5 miles and a 10. Then the big day.

Well that's the end of that then. Can we focus on getting a bloody world class centre back instead?
