Emma Raducanu (the 18 year old British girl who got to the 4th round of Wimbledon) on the brink of the US Open semi finals .

Absolutely amazing. Did not expect her to dispatch of Bencic so easily.

I usually wait till 6 episides have been aired. Then I watch them over a few days via catch up. I never knew Fox Channel has gone from. I spent ages looking for it, only to find out it's on Disney plus. Will Amazon Prime have it for free?

No idea mate. I watch it on my own personal streaming service. If you’re interested it’s £70 per year for every live HD channel, then on demand content of regularly updated movie and TV content .  

Sounds amazing. Will watch tonight after work. 
 

Oh there’s no point now I already know what happens. Cheers, daughters crying.

Never could get serious about track. I did cross country (5k through the woods) here for years before moving onto Marathons and then ultra marathons. 

Give me a 100m race before doing that damn track workout again. 

You’ve done marathons? That’s amazing mate. 

My aim is to keep slowly progressing to get to a marathon. Long way off though. Would have done it with ease in my teens. I used to represent not only my school but my county in cross country races.

Good for you, sounds like your in a good place mentally and physically at the moment.

My situation is basically unusual for me, I've always been into the gym and generally staying fit and healthy. I'd say this is the first period of my life where I've let myself go a bit and lost that hunger to get out and exercise.

If I'm totally honest it was my Mum of all people who opened my eyes to it the other day. She's always known I keep fit by either playing football or running etc.. she asked me if I was doing anything anymore which lead me to ask her why she would ask. Her reply wasnt nasty or cruel just she was concerned she'd noticed I'd gained a few pounds and it was unlike me.

So like yourself I'm gonna get back on it today, I'm not gonna go into it thinking I can do the same distances as I've done previously or the same times per mile. I'm just gonna build slowly and try and enjoy it more than anything.

First things first though, I need a new Spotify play list!

Good for you man. Whatever your motivation is, use it as fuel and keep going and bettering yourself.

For the playlist. My main song is Eminem - Till I Collapse. Good starting point there  

Who do you all have for the win? I’m not fussed who wins just glad it’s happening.

Till managed to go to Brazil and the only thing be learned was the language ffs, where's his ground game.

 it was funny yet bizarre seeing him speak so well in another language. Very disappointed in his ground game. He will be back, I hope.

WE FUCKING KNOW! 

 

 

 

hahahah kidding mate. 

Yeah man, Roger is an absolute legend. I was always a Nadal fan, just because I like his style of play and how gritty he was. RF always made it look easy and just gliding all over the court. 

The Aussie Open Final a few years ago between the two that went 5 sets was one of my favorite matches of all time. 

I’m just a fanboy in general mate hahaha Messi, RF, Lewis etc. I’ve learned to embrace it now

Yeah the way he glided across the court and overall style of play is unmatched for me. Absolute legend. And it makes it so much easier that he’s so gracious and humble and genuine. What a man.

I think Djoker was such a POS early on his career, that some people have quickly forgot that. When you have tennis stars like Federer and Nadal, who are just some of the nicest guys in the world, and then you have Novak who has a history of tantrums and being a bit of a bitch, then it's just easy to dislike him. 

That's just my personal view on the subject, but I just can't cheer for Novak. 

If it's him or Tsitsipas, I hope for some kind of scenario in which they somehow both lose. 

I’m just a RF fanboy.

His style of play and his personality mixed with his dominance are the reasons why he will always be my .

Medvedev is a bit servebotty really isn't he. Plenty of other facets to his game but that's the big difference between them from what I've seen in this set.

And yes, anyone who can cause an upset against Djokovic would be sound.

Why do you want him to lose?

I do as I find his dominance boring and I don’t want him getting ahead of RF on slams, however it seems to be inevitable.

Medvedev taking an early lead over Evans in the first set. 

Expect him to call this set over and try and regroup for Set #2. 

As much as I want Evans to win, fully expect a 3-0 Medvedev win here. Medvedev will be the biggest obstacle to a Novak Calendar slam. And I hope he stops him doing it.

Where does Till go after this? Looked awful.

His lack of wrestling game cost him didn’t it, whereas Brunsons wrestling won him the fight. Surprised Till made it out of the first round.

Theres still big fights for him, they could try make the Vettori fight again. Or someone like Strickland.

Warrington looked a totally different animal in those 2 rounds and more like his old self. He took Lara’s best shots and didn’t look phased by them. 
 

He wants the trilogy fight and said he will be willing to wait but if a chance against Santa Cruz or Navarette comes up I fully expect him to take that fight.

I've been terrible the last four months, totally let myself go and basically lost all interest in exercise.

Been out today and bought myself a new pair of running trainers and I'm going to start building up my distances from tomorrow.

 

Any small help mentally is a start mate. It’s not about equipment or aids for me personally but if it helps you do it.

I used hate those cunts who would preach #feelinggood and post every exercise they do and gym selfies on Facebook. However since attempting to regain my fitness and feeling the buzz of improving every time I run… I get it. Still won’t see me posting it on Facebook every day but when you’ve felt terrible for months as we have.. small steps feel good. Stick at it!

I’ve been doing average 4 miles 3 times a week rest day in between. Every time improve by a few seconds.  

Most recent one the other day. Not Facebook worthy but it’s tf365 worthy .

Been setting PB after PB recently on my running spot near me. Nothing massive just small gains. Stamina’s improving and the fitness is coming back. Nowhere near what it used to be when I was younger, but I’ll get there eventually..and better.

Feels good.

Darren Till makes his return tonight. The Brits are hopefully taking over Vegas! Paddy Pimblett making his UFC debut in a decent fight. 

 

Decent card tonight in Leeds. I know a few lads going but I’m saving myself for the big one so be watching from home. 

Fight predictions:

Lara-Warrington rematch. Warrington win by KO in the 7th.

This really could go either way and Lara may have his number, I just feel that Josh will be helped by the incredible atmosphere there will be and he will box smarter. I’m initially thinking him on points but he just cannot avoid a scrap he’s always in exciting fights and will want to send a message. Hope he wins either way but wouldn’t be shocked to see him get beat either.

Katie Taylor - Jennifer Han. Taylor by stoppage in round 3.

Total mismatch. Taylor is the women’s pound for pound number 1, and this is her mandatory challenger for one of her many belts.. but I expect her to send a statement tonight and get an early KO. She’s not known for KO power but if it happens it will be a barrage of punches.

Conor Benn - Adrian Granados. Benn by KO. Round 5.

Benn to make a statement and call out Amir Khan or the winner of Khan-Brook which seems likely to be happening.

Rest of the card… wins for Straffon, Bridges, Price, Bateson and Stansfield.

Tsitsipas and his infinte piss breaks is out. 

Osaka has just lost and it also out early. 

Osaka taking an indefinite break from Tennis. Sounds like she needs it.

Anyone use pressure cookers or air fryers? We were gifted both, and they are both very interesting and make cooking easier and still very tasty. 

Last night I got some salmon, and barely sprinkled some seasoning on it, with some oil and lemon, and then put it in the air fryer, and it came out perfect. I didn't take a photo, but it looked like this and definitely still had it's moist and flaky center. 

I’ve been told to get an air fryer for a while, but haven’t bothered yet because of how much people have told me to get one .

Salmon looks delightful!

Edit: I know it’s not yours, but it’s made me want to cook the salmon I have.

I think it's fair to say we have decent depth as a squad for this season... 

 

Only club that can rival City for squad depth. Probably in the world.

The posting issue what people have mentioned is why I kept missing the prediction league post as I did post it but didn’t go back to check if it had posted @Stan . I demand an extra 10 points. 
 

On a serious note though guys, I figured out a way to stop my issue when that was happening. Only today.. It was when I copied your post or text. I just had to click paste as plain text or just type it myself. Then it actually submitted the post. Whereas before it would act like it had submitted it and posted but it hadn’t. 

Not sure if that’s similar to anyone else’s problems as I haven’t read alll the pages in this thread. But just thought I’d give you my 2 cents. 

Emma Radacanu shining again.  

Go on girl!
