I totally agree with this. He might be unlikeable and act like a petulant child, but you cannot deny the quality and longevity of his career. 130 goals in 211 appearances for Portugal, 311 goals in 292 appearances for Real Madrid. Comparisons to the other Ronaldo are valid, and maybe at their absolute peaks Il Fenomeno might edge it, but his peak was about two seasons, not 10. What do you judge the greatest player ever on? Surely longevity has to come into it, in which case there is only really Messi ahead of him in the modern era.
I never listen to podcasts (I don't tend to have a lot of dead time as my commute is short) but I put this on this morning and have to thank you. It was wonderful! The tractor story was superb, but so many great stories. It's as if every story from Gazza is better than your own best funny story.
I've had a series of Garmins and always go back to them because they are so good. I never buy the expensive ones and tend to go for midrange ones. Currently on a ForeRunner 245 Music which is great and has everything I need (I would survive with just an accurate GPS system but this includes HR, cadence, etc). As a bit of background I'm a fairly experienced runner so can sort out my own training sessions, but do often use the suggested runs it gives me. I don't care for any smartwatch features and turn off notifications.
I can't let an opportunity like this go without recommending my own books. The first one is pretty much a parody book but (I would say) a reasonable and quick read. The second and third are much more serious action/crime stories and far superior in quality (I learnt a lot writing the first, including what I actually want to write about).

That was glorious. I think I'm taking our promotion for granted on a day to day basis now, but watching things like that (especially that owning game at Sunderland) brings home just how incredible it was.
I'm moving back to Suffolk over the summer after 7 years away (and have been planning it for a while). I always assumed I'd get a season ticket, and after last season was looking forward to seeing a great season of championship football with my boy (currently 5). To be honest, the double promotion has really stitched me up!
Morning all, and what a morning. I've been reading and watching everything I can on last night since the minute I woke up and it got me thinking. A while back someone mentioned getting 90 points for consecutive seasons and what an achievement it is. Does anyone know what the record points total for consecutive seasons is? 90 has been achieved a few times in consecutive seasons in the prem (Chelsea and Man City have done it).
In her wisdom, my mum arranged a holiday for me and my siblings to visit our family in Belgium during the week of the playoff final in 2000. I sat in the car and listened to a remarkably clear 5 Live signal for the match and ran into the back garden to update her on the score throughout. I'm not sure how much she cared about the game, although I think she was very relieved I could at least listen to it.
I'd love to come along (if I can be available, that's still in negotiation...). I'll keep an eye on the thread to see where you decide. I'm only 15 minutes from the centre of MK, so it's easy for me to get to.
I've self-published 3 books, all on Amazon and all for Kindle and paperback (and one hardback as I fancied a copy of it myself in hardback). It's easy to do, but hard to do successfully (in my limited experience). I think to make any real money you need a large(ish) advertising budget (a lot more than my basically zero budget) and a lot of time to do your marketing. I have a friend who does it as a full time job and she is making over £100k a year from it - she's written nearly 40 books now and was in the fortunate position that she didn't need to work when she started, so could dedicate the time to it. You need to be good on social media and good at promoting yourself - two things I have no skill or interest in. If you have any specific questions, feel free to message me - I'll help how I can and buy it as well (as I know the struggle!)
