I sympathise. My lower back used sometimes went zing, aaarregghh, then I’d freeze, try to breathe and relax it, and not be able to move properly for days, putting on shoes awkward, getting up from the sofa at weird angles.
My physio friend told me it was because my core was weak. I fixed the problem by just doing some planks. Maybe one or two for a minute or two every day or two. Of course then I got out of the habit and after a few years of no problems it went again the other week. So back to the planks for me. |

I order away kit for my daughters. 2 shirts and one pair of shorts.
I received 1 shirt and one shorts, both wrong size.
I actually phoned them. The 0115 number, not the expensive number.
The man was very nice and very apologetic. Seems to be a very small operation in the east midlands that was completely overwhelmed.
Once I'd spoken to him the correct order arrived very quickly even before I'd sent back the wrong ones. [Post edited 4 Sep 17:21]

I think the drop off was psychological. We were good and aggressive to start, trying to right the wrongs and overcome the embarrassment of last week. Even some cocky flicks. But once we scored,
the fact they had something to lose seemed to weigh on them. There was a bit of fear, and a tendancy to passivity and sitting back in the (incorrect) belief that would help protect what they had. |

I hadn't realised live the quality of Varane's look-the-other-way pass into Dembele before his fluffed chance. 0:49 |

*Dull men's club*
The offish has updated its squad listing.
Morgan promoted into the first team squad.
Adamson still in the first team squad.
Smyth now a midfielder rather than a forward.
Kolli, Lloyd, Esq, Bennie, Putman all in the dev squad.
Sutton still in U18s. |

Liked the sound of Gilchrist...
But then Sheff U wanted our Jimmy instead, and don't appear to have gone for Gilchrist now. [Post edited 29 Aug 12:44]

I wasn’t able to get there or watch.
Possession not too uneven and Coventry’s xG was only 1.1 according to the beeb.
Was Walsh chucking them in? Worldies? Individual errors? [Post edited 23 Aug 18:10]

Mbengue was not good at left back.
Cook has lost some pace and with that some confidence. A couple times he overcommitted early because, I guess, he didn't think he'd be able to recover.
Unlike last week, Field played deep and Madsen further forward.
Even so, Sammy arrived on two good chances...and put them both wide. A theme.
Madsen effete, as so often.
Burrell promising and physical.
Some games Dembele just gets bullied by the big boys. Needs to learn how to con fouls from Smyth the master.
Ref was annoying and a bit of a homer, but of course we've known worse and it didn't affect the result.
We looked pretty good for the 20 minutes we had a balanced 11 (i.e., once Esquerdinha and Varane came on, and before Celar came one).
What a hit from Kieran.
Chair worked really hard. Would love to see his heat map.
We'll be ok if we can get anything like our first 11 playing regularly. [Post edited 16 Aug 19:26]

Who’s going to play right back? Morgan and Dunne apparently injured. Adamson and Putnam not ready. Mbengue shifting right with Cook in the middle?
Who’s going to play left back? Is Esquerdinha ahead of Vale after the last two games?
Who’s going to replace Poku? Vale if not at left back? Is Smyth ready? Can Burrell play wide? Can Kolli play again? |

I always had a hunch that the really smart ones, perhaps like Brighton, might learn what metrics their market is looking for, and then play players in such away that they stand out as obvious buys. Gaming the system in a way.
E.g., I know Chelsea are big spenders, and I know they look for <24yo, progressive carries, sprints, passes into final third and pass completion over 80%, but don't really look at interceptions or aerial duels. So I'm going to coach my 22 year old midfielder to play in a way that maximises those stats, and create a team structure that lets him do so. Right, that'll be £100m thanks.
But there's always interpretation. Is it good or bad if goals scored is above XG? Are they clinical or lucky? If goals scored are below XG is that good or bad? Do they lack composure, or have they been unlucky and will revert to mean? |

I've always just taken the met line, but I see there's a southern rail train from Shepherd's Bush at 13:55 which should get me to the ground by 14:45. Anyone advise against that? |

There’s a paradox in the ‘conservative’ mind. 1. Everyone should make their own way and is responsible for improving their lot, pulling themselves up by their own bootstraps (think about it: physically impossible), and not rely on handouts from the nanny state. And yet 2. People who are doing exactly that, who happen to be born in another country, are hated, and the state is expected to protect against these upstart self-starters competing for work and services. Obviously it’s human to be illogical and to concurrently hold contradictory thoughts. But it can also be human to be empathetic, to have the imagination to walk a mile in someone else’s shoes. Or to withhold judgement of someone whose story you don’t really know. |
