If you're into health then there is nothing new on there, but interesting nonetheless. The bloke last night was bonkers, he was type 1 diabetic, already had a toe amputated but basically lived off crisps, cakes, coke and other shit, said he only drinks Coke and has never drank water as it doesn't do anything for him. What was interesting was the difference just a few weeks can make of eating healthy.

It isn't even really about spending big. There are loads of players out there that cost less than 10m, well within our supposed price range, that could have come in and done a good job for a few years. The issue has been that it's always about resale value rather than buying a player for now. The Baz situation is ridiculous, expecting a young goalkeeper to come into the premier league and thrive when they've never played above league One level. The centre back situation is ridiculous, look at how much has been spent and players we've gone though trying to find the new Van Dijk. For all their talk about being a player trading company you can only really point to two players in the 4 years they've been here that have been a success.

Been this way for years though hasn't it. When we were in the premier league despite having years more Premier league money than the like Brighton, Bournemouth, Crystal Palace, Fulham they were all spending bigger than us on players whilst we persisted with trying to beat the system, bloating the squad out with 15m players or YHGTIers. We've been in decline for 10 years as we've persisted with this model SR have just taken it up a few levels. Stock piling crap players that no one else wants and in some cases have to pay to leave. When will the data tell them that it's failed?

Funny how Tonda was quick to point to XG when we lost at home to Hull the other day because it was better than theirs but hasn’t mentioned it the last two games when it was worse and we’ve got 4 points 😂

I was always against it as very much a get outside in the fresh air sort of person. It’s easy in the spring and summer, maybe it’s age but when it’s dark by 4.30 and weather is shit I don’t really want to do it anymore so seems like a good idea.

The bloke who would only drink Pepsi as water didn’t do anything for him. Jesus wept I’ve just ordered one of those under desk walking machines. I know you should get out in the fresh air and usually I do but this time of year the idea of going out for an hour walk in pissing rain, wind and weather feels like -5 it’s not appealing. This way I can do that instead or do few more steps between calls.

Good on you. We have a takeaway once a week usually a curry from a very good Indian. You’re right about McDonald’s when you don’t eat if for a while it makes you feel shit after the first one. Same with booze, knock it on the head for a while and having one after a few months tastes awful and makes you feel shit. I have cut back on eating out lunchtimes. For 3 of us it can often be £75-£80 even just at a chain pub these days for 3 mains and drinks and food is bang average at best, we only go places where there is an offer on now unless we’re going for a nice meal somewhere in the evening.

Silly fat prick. Probably get a long ban now for that but probably thinks he’s a right boy. He's the fat, loud, gobshite every local used to thought he was funny because he’d get his gut out when pissed and the others lads make do stupid things which he does so he can fit it. He was probably the fat weird kid that used to ride to the lads playing football in the park, do a wanker sign and then ride off quick as his chubby little legs could go

Anyone watched What not to eat? Will put you off any shit for life

She’s been on the jabs hasn’t she

Anyone done a Hyrox race? Son is doing the junior one in London in March, few people at our gym did the one in Manchester at the weekend, im tempted to give it a go.

how you getting on the the Lions Mane @whelk Been a bad start to the year for me, not been able to train much, cold, then ear infection first part of January, been struggling with a knee injury for a month, going back to the gym tomorrow to see what i can do. As i mentioned on the Crossfit stuff one of the best things about it is you can adapt the workout to suit you which also helps when you're injured, tomorrows workout is 8 rounds of Ski Erg/Bike/Row, snatches and then Burpees, i'll be fine with the first two bits but will swap the burpees for something else that doesn't put too much pressure on the knee.

He’s missed a lot of big chances this season that previously he’d have taken at this level. Missed a couple of 1 v 1 at Blackburn to put us 2 up, missed one sunday to name but 2 games many more. Looks like he’s lacking confidence to me.

I've never known a season like it for grassroots kids football. We've only played 4 league games this season. Cancelled again last weekend and likely to be off this weekend. We actually pulled out of the country cup as we are concerned we wont complete league fixtures and get fines etc. We got through the 5th round but each tie was postponed at least once, the 5th round game was postponed 3 weeks in a row. Come April and May going to be playing midweek, saturdays and sundays.

well we dont have to bother going to see them play so that'll save time
