Re: Whose run a Marathon before?
I don't get why anybody would run anywhere. Unless you're running away from something or someone. I see people running around our park in the morning and think. 'Why?'. What drives people to do that for fun? If I go out, it's with a purpose. I don't see getting aches, pains and sweaty as a purpose. ...

Re: Burnley v Leicester - Player Ratings
Agree with Spice. Needed Hendrick on about 55/60 minutes. Overran in midfield. Sat far too deep for far too long and needed that extra man in there at 2-0. Going 2-0 up so early always worried me as we seem to invite teams on when taking the lead. That was far more uncomfortable than it needed to ha...
