My neck hurts from all the marketing whiplash

League One fairly tasty at the mo. I've some links to it via Lincoln City and Stockport - both having been residences. Actually saw Lincoln win at Wembley. I work with Charlton, a bit, too. Personally would prefer Stockport to sneak automatic and see Wrexham languish in playoffs, scrape it and then get tonked in championship.

Inclined to agree with you. We can all laugh about it but I think it falls into 2 camps of those who attempt to speak a local language on holiday and those who don't.

Final few weeks marathon training. Not entirely following the suggested mileage as my knees are starting to feel it, but sticking to the big runs. 14 miles on (mostly) flat, allowed some space to absolutely gun it. Achieved a 25 min 5k within. Proper made up.

At least it's not pity!

Mads? Bilal? No idea.

Yeah that's a lovely gesture from the owner but could he be less involved in corruption? Actually, can most owners do that as well please?

He has absolutely annihilated what reputation he had. It's not a Dean Smith situation where he's come in with about 6 games and told to do what he can. He's had half a season to implement changes, systems and ideas. The first couple of games now look like absolute flukes.

That tone really is not a good one and not in the "it's sad but I know it's the right thing" way.

That's probably his top flight managerial career done, then.

It's easy if you try

Oh leave it Coady, don't argue. Just get it over with.

Haha. Ruud, you mad lad.

Lots of unknowns, really. We'll never know but the likelihood would have been that we would have got something decent for them. It being spent wisely would have been another matter entirely.

That's amazing for a first go!

Think they're giving him Europe. The minute that goes, he's gone. Does this mean KDH comes back?

For some reason I had Rosenborg in my head as a French or Swiss team.

Bodo are one of the bigger teams in Norway and regularly feature in the Europa/ Conference cups but never got this far. It is one hell of an achievement for them. Off the top of my head, I think Tromso and Molde are other notable teams there. Molde being Ole's old stomping ground.

Czy to jest biblioteka?

Having work in education for the last 10+ years, having a legal framework around sex gives us a lot of breathing room. The press summary judgement provided by the Justices helps clarify a lot of the muddy waters of the Equality Act. It allows schools/ colleges, particularly regarding sport and changing rooms, to refer to a court judgement in the exceptionally rare cases where a child of one biological sex may wish to use spaces designated for the other. It provides clarity in these situations and is a good starting point to open discussions about ways in which concessions or adaptations can be made, without fear that the school/ college could be challenged in court - a financial and PR risk.

Trying something new with marathon training this week - trying to hit the length targets but not in one solid go. Instead, splitting them into shorter and faster runs. Managed 5k in 26:08, which I'm calling 26 min to account for crossing 2 roads and dodging people. Goal achieved! 4 miles in 35 mins, overall. Overall aim is to get as close as I can to 4 hours for my marathon. Might be ambitious for a first time.

Good game, this. Villa fighting for some self respect

This could get ugly
