Stripey McStripe Shirt

I guess I agree, maybe I was just miserable last night. But still think if we have a firework display off the top of the stadium (if we win) after full time next week, it would feel a bit OTT.

Someone needs to tell Arsenal that it was only a semi-final. Acting like they're about to go and collect the trophy.

Tommy Forecast from the recent charity match?

Why on earth are we worrying about the Premier League when we'll have the Champions League to think about soon after?

You're related to him (it)? 😮

As others have said, the most likely cause is probably too much, too soon. Don't be afraid of starting with shorter runs and building up (even if 5k doesn't sound far to you). Also, sometimes slower paced runs are more productive for building base fitness. Not every run has to be at a decent pace. In terms of shoes - probably not the primary factor, but could help - everyone is different. I'm a bit sad and have a few different types, but for my everyday runs I have Brooks Glycerin's and never had an issue (I generally replace shoes after about 600-700km). They're a bit clunky but so soft that it's like you're running on clouds. If preferring ASICS, I think the gel-nimbus are about the equivalent, but have never owned a pair myself. Faster, more lightweight shoes are probably more likely to cause issues. You could try a gait analysis, but a lot of running shops don't have people particularly well qualified to advise you properly (despite what they might claim), so a physio might be better if you have the resources. There's a lot of 'stability' shoes on the market - but I reckon a lot of people who are advised to use them, don't actually need them. I know when I first got into running, I got a pair, and regularly got pain but as soon as I switched to a more neutral shoe thing's improved. Try some out on a treadmill in a shop and see what feels best for you.

Don't need war medals if you've won the FIFA Peace Prize.

Didn't he save a penalty from CHRISTIANO RONALDO once?

Turns out AI cam do this shit for me. Rank Team Total Points Best Performance Since 2000 1 Chelsea 238 6x Winners 2 Arsenal 266 7x Winners 3 Manchester City 315 4x Winners 4 Manchester United 334 3x Winners 5 Liverpool 452 3x Winners 6 Tottenham Hotspur 688 6x Semi-finalists 7 Everton 1,024 1x Runner-up 8 Leicester City 1,118 1x Winners 9 West Ham United 1,322 1x Runner-up 10 Southampton 1,414 1x Runner-up So top 10. Not bad I guess, seeing as we've spent a good chunk since the year 2000 outside the top flight.

I was going to do an exercise the other day to work out average performances in the FA cup since 2000 (before I realised I have better things to do with my life). My methodology was going to be to rank each team as follows: - winner = 1 point - runner up = 2 points - semi finalist = 4 points - quarter finalist= 8 points Etc. Lowest total score, the better. Seems we pretty regularly get to at least 1/4 finals, so I'd hazard a guess we're probably in the top 8 or so since the turn of the century. Someone feel free to prove/disprove my hypothesis.

If Canada don't win the world cup with him at their disposal, I'll eat my hat.

Shit free kick 😅

Does Larin have an issue with his hand, always in a bandage?

Peretz looking a bit shaky so far...

Why isn't is called Cake and Butter pudding though? Who puts butter on cake other than lardos.

There's a trendy Indian fusion place in Manchester that does this. Can't remember the name. You guys would probably all hate it, 'cos you're not as hip as me (except Sue by the sound of it).

Assume we're all in agreement? 1. Focaccia 2. Sourdough 3. Naan, specifically the garlic variety 4. Ciabatta 5. Brioche

I got on the last train back to Liverpool. Handful of City fans on my carriage, but not many. Actually seemed to be more Arsenal and West Ham fans...

If just like to say I was pleasantly surprised by the lack and f songs about Pompey yesterday though. Don't think I heard the 'get your father's gun' song once.

2 hour time officially broken at the London Marathon today. Unbelievable sporting milestone that just a few years ago sounded impossible. Appreciate better shoes help, but nothing to take away from the achievement I'm an OK runner - not great, but better than average (3:30ish marathon PB), but I couldn't' keep up their pace for barely 100m. It's basically (fast) sprinting for over 26 miles.

Does Steven Gerrard hate is for some reason? Or just hate football in general?

Wasn't even over the line.

I'll admit I made a pretty hasty exit to get back to Wembley Central and make sure I was able to get the last available train back (just to reiterate...shit kick off time...), but there were definitely a handful of Saints fans who came across as utter bell ends getting in the face of elderly City fans/young families coming out the ground. Had hoped it was just an isolated incident, but perhaps not... On the whole though, our fans were marvellous!
