Im 46 in a few weeks time, i walk 10000 steps a day, do crossfit at least 3-4 times a week, golf in the spring summer months and coach kids football on a weekend. Although i've really noticed a drop of in my speed, i was never the quickest but now i'm a very slow runner my strength and general fitness is as good as it's ever been. Can match lads 20 years younger on any workout that involves barbells, dumbells, rowing but not the ones with running!!! In truth i've probably only got a few more years left where i'm going to make any more significant gains with weights, then it's about maintaining and keeping off weight and the decline as long as possible. The big difference though us you have to be so much stricter with diet. You cant have a good workout these days if you've had a few drinks the night before or a takeaway that you can in your twenties, hence why i've significantly cut back on the booze in the last year and cleaned up my diet. Recovery from workouts is fine that's down to diet and stretching, lots of protein and veg i can easily train hard 3-4 days in a row with no soreness or stiffness if i stretch and get plenty of protein down. The big notice for me though was when i tried to play football with a load of younger lads a few months ago, i must have been the oldest by at least 10-15 years and whilst when i could catch them they bounced off me it was catching them that was the problem. That's just age sadly, you cant keep going forever so my football days are definitely over but intend to keep going with the crossfit, there are a couple of blokes and women in their early 60s that go to our box and doing great, hopefully depending on keeping injury free then i will be, been quite fortunate in that i've only ever had one serious injury and that was in my early 20s.

What isn’t broken? We seem to leading the way in diversity and inclusion. You can watch any drama on TV and tick them off a women in position of authority, a black person, an Asian, white person a gay and a disabled person usually all in the same room at the same time. we’ve got that nailed

have you got a concept 2 at home? Im considering getting one to put in the garage.

i sat my nine year old and a a few of his mates down last night for a good chat. I told them that their future was fucked, there is no point trying hard at school (the school system is broken anyway) l, no point going to football training 3 times a week, the nasty tories have ruined all their future. They're better off giving up now and having no aspirations of ever achieving anything in life there is literally nothing to look forward to. You will own your own house because the tories have made it too expensive, if you get ill you'll probably die because the tories have killed the NHS, the only thing you can really do is become criminals because the court system is fucked so you'll probably get away with it. you know have you're all quite happy now? Enjoy it while you can because you dont know how shit everything is going to get for you.

You should watch this, it might explain why you're so miserable

I was thinking exactly the same thing

Surely that isn't Jimmy-Jay Morgan? What an absolute bellend, pointing to his CP Company badge

Also just caught a bit of BBC news and it seems British Gas have been getting warrants and forcing pre paid meters onto people, breaking into vunerable peoples homes fitting them.

Highest profit of any UK company in history they are saying on the the news. £5b payout to shareholders more than they paid towards renewable energy, but the great news is they will pay tax in the Uk for the first time since 2017.

And that everyone is racist towards black people even black people themselves and anyone white who disagrees with her cannot possibly understand as they’re not black. It really was weird

On the TV they were quite loud when the teams came out then for about 10 minutes, plus a few minutes at the end but saints fans came across really well. They were fawning all over them before the game about what an atmosphere it was, a special place to play football etc but it really wasn’t anything special at all.

I don’t think you understand Nick. Unlike any other city in the world Newcastle people work all week and at the weekend like to get their money and enjoy themselves, they like watching their team. They also love a striker up there. Such great people a great city and club. I for one was pleased to lose to them.

Do we still tell opposition players they look like a wotsit?

never, ever go for the own brand alternative of a classic, it only leads to disappointment, very bad cover versions.

We've got all the podium places for that award.

Lots of players with lots of pontential, plus an experienced players in Orsic and DCC, a big striker with a good goal scoring record. My concern is does this manager have it in him to get the best out of them. I dont think so sadly.

9/10 window?

Young hungry guaranteed to improve the saintsweb tag line which followed any young player for several years on here

Black people

Well we finally got one in. Appears to be big and powerful Decent goal scoring record. Bit of experience so not a YHGTI. Ticks all the boxes we’ve needed. Well done Rasmus

I’m not watching sky for the reasons you state

As with Puel the mistake wasn’t getting rid of him the mistake was replacing him with someone worse

STOP PLAYING FIVE AT THE BACK FFS

Or did you leave when it all became digital and they didn’t use typewriters anymore?
