A late winner for Huddersfield puts Birmingham in the relegation zone 🤣🤣
Sheffield Wednesday just below them won as well!

Thought I'd have a look at their squad to see if there were any players we might look at if we were to go up.
Remember Sam Nombe, who they signed from Exeter, and who many on here were wanting us to go for last summer?
2 goals and 3 assists in 35 league games (1800+ minutes) this season 😬

Was this the big RD announcement?

I’m similar to you. Went to uni at 18, around 6 foot and 10 stone wet. Went to the gym inconsistently for a few years, then really started counting the calories after I graduated and got up to around 13 stone. I’m back down to 12 stone now but am hoping to get back up again soon.
When I first started, I had frequent lower back spasms. I went to a physio, he gave me a few stretches to do every day (I do them any time I exercise), and that largely sorted it.
I’ve started upping the cardio in the last year or so (part of the reason why I lost weight), and have had minor issues with knees, aches and pains. So I swapped some of my heavier squats (5 sets of 5) to lighter ones with more reps (3 sets of 12). Seems to have helped a little bit, but if the physio gives you any tips, let me know!

My story's the opposite to everyone else's here 🤣
I've always been very skinny (about 6'1, 10 stone in Dec 2021). Started going to the gym 3 or 4 times a week and just generally eating more, and I'm currently up about 3½ stone. Went in at the deep end with calorie counting, protein supplements, creatine, etc., but I look so much better for it.
The only slight concern I've got at the minute is the cardio side of things. I've focused so much on lifting weights and getting bigger, that I've completely neglected my internal health. So now I've started dedicating a whole session to a combination of the bike/treadmill/stairmaster.
I also have a lot of aches and pains in my lower back and knees. I'm not sure whether this is me getting a bit older (31 now), a downside of me carrying some extra weight, or an injury that I've not paid enough attention to. It's on my list to see a physiotherapist or something.

My dad finally lost his battle this morning at the ridiculous age of 64.
Over the past month or so, he got stuck in a cycle of having excess fluid drained, the fluid coming back, being drained again, etc. The fluid eventually got into his lungs and, on top of that, he had the cancer in the background (which they couldn't directly treat because of all of the draining), and a skin infection that eventually led to sepsis. It was just too many issues for him to fight, even though he gave it a damn good go.
He deteriorated rapidly last night to the point of being very agitated and delirious, and I got a call from the nurses to come in at 3am. I knew it was the beginning of the end then, and the decision was made to withdraw treatment at about 11am. He went very peacefully within the hour.
Part of me wants to carry on like normal - go to the match tomorrow and have a few drinks after - but the healthiest decision is probably to skip it and have a bit of alone time to process it all.
I echo the last sentence of my previous post too - f*** cancer.

Clearly another one of them 'good characters' we like so much. Nice to see.

I bet you're nervously excited. Hope the wedding goes well too. Have a great day. 

B4 would have switched the wedding venue to Northampton.
Service at 12. Reception over by 2.00, standing in front of seats in stadium by 2.30.
Come on the Jourdans.....no half-fan measures...👍

The East Midlands, bad boys of football

I remember when the first goal went in and, amidst the celebrations, I accidentally elbowed the woman next to me in the head. And not even lightly - a proper thud.
Fair play she laughed it off but I was genuinely concerned I'd concussed her.

On the plate. Anything else is tory.

I’ll stick to the Exeter and Silk Mill etc afterwards 😅

And what if we're in the Championship too?
Unless there was something in the rumours about him and Warne falling out, it wouldn't make much sense.

English version:
"the flooding is getting brutal, all industry here is collapsing and we can't even go outside without fear of being eaten by XL Bullies."

Agreed. Aaron Donald on every play for the last 10 years...
