And in a sport that actually requires fitness, Englishman Wiggins won the tour of England (which included visits to large English counties, Scotland and Wales), with Englishman Cavendish winning the final stage in the English tour.

Lmao at not thinking F1 drivers need to be in shape.

Fantastic win for Tottenham. There only defeat this season was at Arsenal and they probably deserved a point there in the sense that both sides were just as bad as each other on that day.

Premiership looking good Smile

Anyone still going to moan about the lack of quality?

How can you deserve a point if you don't create any chances? :P

When I was a youth I used to drive my car fast all night without getting tired. It can't be that difficult.

Did you burn between 2-3,000 calories and lose 4 1/2 pounds in weight whilst out cruising?

by GSC Mon Sep 23, 2013 4:42 am

I just rode my bike down the road. Don't feel tired at all

by The Special Juan Mon Sep 23, 2013 4:43 am

I'm glad I fell asleep!! No complaints, City were 2 levels above Utd from what I saw but the Moyes Project is a long-term thing, not a short-term "throw lots of money at it" project. Kompany backed up my view that he's by far the best CB in the world, Rooney never got a sniff against him.

by GSC Mon Sep 23, 2013 4:47 am

It is a race of extremes. At two hours, Singapore is the longest race on the calendar. The humidity is up about 80%; the air temperatures, even at night, more than 30C.
And there's no respite from the heat. Temperatures in the cockpits of the cars are typically 60C. There is no cool air to refresh the drivers. They are wearing four-layer fireproof suits and helmets, while doing intense physical exertion and being subjected to forces of nearly 5G during braking. Mercifully, the lateral G-forces are relatively low - with a maximum of 'only' 3.3G.

I did on my 90 mile bike ride today. More in fact if strava is to be believed. 4000 calories and I lost about half a stone in fluid.

by Lumbering_Jack Mon Sep 23, 2013 4:49 am

I hope people realise that my car comment was tongue in cheek. By the responses I suspect not. Cheer up guys.

There is a massive lack of humour on here today Lumbering!

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Mon Sep 23, 2013 5:04 am

You'll have to delete the posts that quoted me too! Vive la resistance!

On a brighter note, google the Metro's headline about David Cameron and what I will call the "Y" word. Top notch buffoonery

by mystiroakey Mon Sep 23, 2013 5:08 am

I take it that is the latest word that isn't allowed to be used in any context!

by GSC Mon Sep 23, 2013 7:33 am

Looks like the Di Canio era will be ending imminently

by GSC Mon Sep 23, 2013 7:34 am

And there it is

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon Sep 23, 2013 7:35 am

Who on earth do they appoint now

by Fernando Mon Sep 23, 2013 7:36 am

Looks like Di Matteo coming in at Blunderland

by GSC Mon Sep 23, 2013 7:37 am

Can't imagine they look at Poyet after PDC

Try and tempt Arry or Mackay I guess, perhaps a younger manager from the lower leagues

by The Special Juan Mon Sep 23, 2013 7:37 am

He was obviously useless. Probably the best decision Sunderland will make this season.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon Sep 23, 2013 7:39 am

Yeah it's annoying that one guaranteed relegated team now isn't. Not a terrible squad for the new manager to inherit

by Fernando Mon Sep 23, 2013 7:42 am

Yes Di Matteo shall make it much better, Going to play Ipswich again next year Olly Wink

And it's not because their coming up.

by Nakatomi Plaza Mon Sep 23, 2013 7:42 am

Pulis might come into consideration. He wasn't available when Di Canio got the job, and has a good record of avoiding relegation, and will get Sunderland organised at least.

The less said about today's result the better, apparently we were awful.

Moyes just doesn't have a clue, 442 away from home with Valencia and young and fellani in his second game.

Complete and utter madness

by westisbest Mon Sep 23, 2013 8:45 am

Ha, we have Man City home next.

What chance of the upset. Whistle

Here's hoping. Fingers Crossed

by NickisBHAFC Mon Sep 23, 2013 8:46 am

Hmmm they did lose to Cardiff West!

I recon Villa can cause an upset, obviously would help if you had Benteke!

by westisbest Mon Sep 23, 2013 8:48 am

Hope our other big men can do the buisness

by Ent Mon Sep 23, 2013 8:50 am

Wouldn't be surprised - they aren't that good - united are just abysmal and abysmally managed by a man out of his depth.

by NickisBHAFC Mon Sep 23, 2013 8:59 am

I don't think you can have ago at the ref for the decision not to give handball against Lloris. It was very very tight and an extremely hard decision, i recon he gives him the benefit of a doubt and rightfully so.

Very harsh to disallowed the goal of Ben Turner though, wins the header and i don't think the contact on Lloris was enough to warrant a foul.

David Marshall has made some superb saves, top keeper i always rated him in the Championship.

Paulhinooooooo tidy little finish at the end was probably deserved for Tottenham.

by Ent Mon Sep 23, 2013 9:27 am

Seriously united are so so bad we made a team that lost to Cardiff and Drew with Stoke look like the second coming.

I'm expecting and accept to finish outside the pl spaces this season - at least that will get rid of moyes come may.

by Ent Mon Sep 23, 2013 9:28 am

Cl places not pl.

by NickisBHAFC Mon Sep 23, 2013 9:31 am

Swansea just simply looking a class above palace. Great goal from Michu.

Dean Moxey with a very stupid and needless foul prompting a foolish reaction from Rangel.

Simple 3 points for Swansea.

by Ent Mon Sep 23, 2013 9:34 am

Palace will be disappointed considering Swansea had a game midweek in Europe - poor showing from them.

by NickisBHAFC Mon Sep 23, 2013 9:38 am

Palace are a waste of a Premiership place.

by Ent Mon Sep 23, 2013 10:51 am

Won it fair and square, lot of poor pl teams this year.

Missed most of the weekends action, but Ozil looks a class apart at the moment (from highlights, which obviously, highlight his strengths). His workrate has always been an issue, which is Mourinhos apparent issue with Mata, but when you can create magic with two touches, allowances have to be made...

As an aside, Im glad he answered the "but can he survive a cold Sunday against Stoke" question which seems to be the barometer for all foreign acquisitions. Flamini was man of the match as well, so happy about that, he never should have left the Gunners, but he too has answered questions about him

2 years ago City gave a Fergie-United an even bigger thumping and yet could only scrape to a goal difference finish ahead of United with the last kick of the season come May.

This game doesn't have to mean much. From what I've seen it's mainly just Arsenal fans getting over-excited because they're top of the league (having played only 1 decent side which they scraped a win against) and look like contending for something for the first time in almost a decade.

Wasn't even cold yesterday Kingraf!!! Wink

by GSC Mon Sep 23, 2013 8:21 pm

6-1 was a bit of a freak result with 3 coming in the last 5 minutes

For my money this was worse. Total annihilation.

The 6-1 game flattered City but yesterday's game was more comprehensive. Utd will do well to finish fourth, imo.

by goldwolf Mon Sep 23, 2013 8:29 pm

The thing is when UTD lost under SAF they would always win the next 5 or more in a row to recover, I doubt they have that ability now, but we'll see. They look disorganized, Felleni was lost, complete passenger, highly overrated for me.

by GSC Mon Sep 23, 2013 8:31 pm

Yaya took Fellaini to the cleaners, Carrick had one of his anonymous games. Rooney was the only United player to play well

by goldwolf Mon Sep 23, 2013 8:37 pm

Thought Rooney was in Kompany's pocket, not often you see him out muscled
