Heart-Shaped Fox

Officially was 949 people who barcoded. Was definitely loads more who thought **** the time let's go now, as had to queue for the finish 😂 Done a marathon today though. Weather is great except some bastard strong winds at some points on the open roads. Got an elapsed time of 3:37, the moving time was 3:27 but stopped for a phone call and also to shove sweets and a drink down my neck at 24km. Would still love to be sub 3 hours long term but it's hard work, I think I could do sub 3:20 right now in an event with a bit of good luck

Couldn't get to the parkrun because of sheer volume of traffic so missed the start 😂 Honestly reckon could be 1000 people doing it, cars parked everywhere. Just jogged it around lightly, no chance of any speed at any point. Will go out in a bit for a long run though

Tbf mate they're really quick times! Well done with it especially in that time frame

Me 🤣 Tbf it's mostly all I've been looking forward to at Xmas. Not done the Parkrun since July and never at Xmas. Might do it NYD too actually. Hoping to beat my PB of 19:23 which until recently I thought a sub 19 was doable. Nursing a back injury again from work and slight shin discomfort during today's 10k jog about. So now I'm a bit more apprehensive about it. Definitely not going to run tomorrow and save my legs. Sometimes the mileage seems to take its toll, I should be about 270/280km by the end of December. Was planning on doing at least a 20 miler after the Xmas Day parkrun (single life for you), but again might have gone for a Burton that idea with my aches and pains 🤣

Yeah I thought the same tbf. The board and how the club run is a disgrace frankly but that doesn't mean on the pitch has to absolutely replicate. Sheff Wed under Rohl the perfect example. Absolutely scandalous how we didn't get him in btw. But a good manager can do some much more with the squad we have than MC is doing. We aren't full of amazing players I get that, but we have more than enough to be at least keeping a clean sheet in over three months.

He's cooked. He's been shit most the season, only time he wasn't was Oxford away. Gives so many stupid fouls away and he's been lucky to not be sent off at least twice this season. The state of full backs at our club are a joke really, all absolutely shite.

Said it when we beat Norwich then Derby that's kept him in a job. Should have gone ages ago, shouldn't be keeping him on the back of those wins. Defensively he's made us worse. Cannot get a clean sheet in any circumstances

Would take ten nil if it means he goes. Absolutely dross manager

Clap them off at HT

Pitiful

No fight at all. Manager is useless too. This could be 3/4 we've barely even attacked

Ricardo has massively dropped off He's been doggo most the season. Gives so many fouls away

Embarrassing defending again Not capable of clean sheets. We cannot grind

A mention for Mahrez at home to Spurs 2017. Not saying it's the best but it was good. Vardy did a lob also in the same game.

Vestergaard easily our best defender today. Nelson was steady too. Skipp starting to bang in 7/10 week in week out

Ridiculous from him today. 3-0 up not getting clean sheets and he rushes like that. Just go long and see the game out. I've been a big fan of his but he has dropped off the last two games imo. Begovic does add a bit more calm

Yeah or I probably should use them for stuff like just going to the football in or something because they're all comfy 🤣 Bought the Puma deviate nitro with carbon plate back in the summer, used them the least out of all. Saving them for a parkrun as they're more speedy. Will try and break my PB for that on Xmas day fingers crossed

I might chuck some out eventually. Just when you think about hoe much £ have been spent on them you do become reluctant 🤣

Just done my 3rd fastest HM in 1:38. Fairly pleased about it as for the first 10/11k I was pissing about in hrz2 at around 4:55-5mins pace per km. Decided to put my foot down more in the second half. Won't be topping my 1:27 until an event again, I can't get motivated to really push myself to a race pace unless it's an event. Second run in the Evo SL. Very nice shoes actually. Only thing I'm not keen on is the lace and the pad between the laces and foot. Can be slightly uncomfortable and the laces came undone which never happens in my other shoes, they're not as premium as they should be. On a different point anyone refusing to throw away old shoes?! I've got six shoes on rotation now, which I will use for differing distances or speeds. But the Brooks Glycerin and Nike Pegasus' I've got have now 650 and 700km on respectively. Still feel like they have life although I'll only now use them both in smaller slower pace jogs like recovery runs

Can anyone who supports him actually tell me the formation for most the second half? The Daka sub for James was odd, and we just seemed to have bodies in any position towards the end. If Ricardo can't come on for ten odd mins he shouldn't be in the squad. Problem is with this manager is every time we have had the lead into the second half, this manager just sits back and wants to see the game out. Tactically inept

Stats a joke. 35% possession Lucky to get a point. How the hell anyone can defend the manager I don't know. We have no chance of going on any sort of run with his tactics. His subs are a joke too

Not his best tonight at all

Defending embarrassing. Manager negative. Too many times we try and see leads out. We're not capable of sitting back like that

Such a negative manager. Useless

Get this manager gone. We're so passive
