who else is excited for the return of premier league soccerball this weekend? It's match week 4 and the Saints from Southampton host the Red Devils of Manchester in thrilling tie which could have a great bearing on the 10th and 17th placed finishes for franchises.

Good work on the weight loss @Weston Super Saint when you look around at people it's amazing how many people are in really, really bad shape and how many people have a similar mindset to you that by going the gym or exercising they're "earning" eating shit and drinking loads. My sister in law is a classic example of this, shes not particularly overweight but always complains she feels tired, isn't losing weight and often feels poorly. It's because she goes to the gym for for a run but will drink 2-3 cans of Stella a night and easily 5-6 on a weekend (classy bird right) all those carlories "earned" gone by drinking shit lager. It amazes me just how many people go to the gym and just plod along on the treadmill or bike for 20 mins or lift weights with terrible form, far too heavy (often both) or do pointless stuff that isn't doing anything. I had to stop doing crossfit at the start of the year which is by a country mile the best thing there is for general all round fitness i've ever done in 30 years of being in and around gyms. I still stick to the general principles though. Strength training 4 times a week concentrating on the big compound lifts, Deadlift, bench, should press, squat. I'll start with one of those for about 30 mins, doing progressive overload. Then do a crossfit style workout either copying one on the girl or hero workouts or make up my own, using one of running, bike or rowing, then barbell weights and/or body weight stuff, usually no more than 3 separate movements. I find this sort of workout much more interesting and fun than just going for a 5kg run. I also do a 2-4 mile walk at lunch time depending on how the day is panning out work wise. I track everything, what weights i'm doing for strength what my times are for the work outs and i'll repeat a few of the workouts every 3-6 months to see how i'm progressing. It's led to some seriously impressive increases in strength and fitness. Monday i took nearly a minute of my time for the "Karen" workout, 150 wallballs to target with a 9kg ball, last week did "Grettel" (10 rounds of 3 clean and jerks and 3 burpees) in 1.24 quicker that when i last did it March. I'd say overall i'm fitter now than i was in my early 20s. Like a lot of people i did loads of sport as a kid, teens and early 20s was football and also training at the boxing club in Thornhill then let myself go a bit once got married and settled down. I cant 5 or 10k run like i used to but im miles stronger and generally have a better all fitness than i did 25 years ago.

It's not SOGs fault it never it, it's everyone elses. He should have been born a scouser.

bit thin on the ground for this. Most of the famous people listed are Sudanese politicians, although there is a bird fashion designer, an actress and singer and a basketball player in the top 10, none of which i've heard of

Great. What this forum really needs is another thread for SOG to inflict his misery on us whilst showing how much he really does care about those poor little foreign people.

We brought a pizza oven a couple of years back now we only have homemade pizza. Sour dough base, tomato sauce with basil, melted cheese, they are 1000 times better than anything you'll buy at Dominos or Papa johns. Like you say the med diet is the healthiest out there, meat or fish with loads of veg and wine. What's not to like about that. One of the healthiest places in the world is Sardinia where they have one of the highest populations of people who live to over 100, they live of that and all stay active, no sitting on the sofa watching TV all day like a lot of Brits and Yanks do.

which player is going to be the one to give the ball away this week to gift Man U a goal? I'm going to go with one of the new boys, Suga or Ramsdale.

The one in his own penalty area for example 🤣🤣

It was ridiculous. his distribution is good but this is an easy game against a pretty poor level opposition. I’m not convinced he’s good enough defensively to be first choice right back for England.

They’ve hardly had the ball to be fair and winning it back isn’t his game. he needs steak and compound lifts.

Not as a central midfielder, Never. He’s decent as a right back in games where we have a lot of the ball but the real test will come against decent teams as with Liverpool defensively he gets exposed.

Watched the second half pretty boring, thought town were going to nick then gave away a late goal which has become their trademark the last couple of seasons. Fair play to 50 fans for travelling so far to watch them, wouldn’t get me doing that.

Don’t all real ale drinkers wear check shirts, have beards and talk very slowly about left wing politics as they are all have very important things to say?

Hey guys. So frustrating there is a pause in the English premier soccerball league after only game week 3. I can’t wait the the match plays to restart these non compete games to try out national team selection players really is gnalry Looking forward to the return of Southampton Saints with our battle to retain premier league soccerball!

@Farmer Saint Everytime i see a post on this thread from you i think of this song. Just thought i'd share this truly wonderful story

Gods creation days.

Bowing out of this summers transfer window with some VERY exciting news from our sources this time on a current player. Remember say what you see, make of this what you will.....

So of the 9/10 transfer window in 2022 season how many will be starting for us in our next competitive match?

Can you imagine how many graphs there would be on the lounge using this weather as proof that global warming is going to kill us all (if the next pandemic or the tories don’t get there first)

i expect the person paying £6k for the ticket isn't an OAP who cant afford the heating on.

the 70s called and wanted is misogyny back

The CoT is not just for the summer transfer window it’s for life

I dont know about you but my son has got into music the last year or so, he's learning the guitar and loves guitar bands Oasis, Courtneers even the Jam, Beatles, Kinks (good) but also likes rap (bad). He really wanted to go but we're away for the Wembley ones, Manchester is standing only but no way am i taking a what will then be 12 year old kid who's quite small for his age to a standing only gig which will be full of people pissed and sniffed up and probably end up with a lot of scrapping going on. Hope everyone enjoys seeing them im sure it'll be a great show and amazing for those who have grown up only being able to listen to it on Spotify. Cant really criticise the younger ones for going when i've seen Paul Weller about a dozen times (although his solo stuff started when i was teen so very relevant to me) The Who, The Rolling Stones and From the Jam myself.
