  1. Yeah, I really don't know what is happening at Liverpool, but they've still on paper got a very good squad... if they pull their heads out their a$$es, they can win every game til the end of the season. But yeah, weird witnessing this capitulation - they're unrecognizable to the team that swept all before them last year.
  2. Glad I stayed up... Kane, Bale, Son - starting to click and really look the part. And the other bonus, playing a more attacking team has helped to shore up the defence. It's a funny old thing, playing to your strengths and not inviting on pressure Going to be a serious scrum for that top 4 between Leicester, Chelsea, Liverpool, Spurs and Everton. Can't see West Ham and Villa keeping up the pace
  3. Rob, you are a squire and a gentlemen - hub really has some great people on it. It does look like we have a solid option lined up now, we're just finalizing a few things - but happily, I think we're there!
  4. Yeah Theo, we're aiming for around the R4-6k mark now. Two reasons, first we don't want him being an obvious target again which a fancier bike will bring, the insurance is also a challenging thing we're still not sure on how to solve. Secondly, the families' needs trump a fancier bike at this stage... we all obviously love our bikes and it would be great to get him a lekker one, but his needs are largely commuting which we will tick off, and then looking after his little family. Having just spoken with Ricky, I just want to thank everyone again - he's incredibly grateful and we've done a special thing here
  5. Stock is the big challenge... but please try if you can. I have also reached out to a friend at Dragons this morning to see if he can maybe source one. Can't believe the challenge this has proven. If we don't find something today in Gauteng, will definitely look at the out of town options... Heck, I'm even starting to wonder if my wife will notice if hers goes missing
  6. Not for a long time...
  7. Second to this, anyone with any ideas on how to handle the insurance? Our biggest fear is we're sitting back at square one again in a couple weeks time... it's also something we need to figure into the costing. I've even considered adding it to mine, but not sure that's viable... Sad we have to think this way, but it is what it is
  8. Awesome guys, I'm also in for R250 come payday. If you need any help with logistics or if you want me to chat to Jonene from Linden about helping out with a nice bike deal, I am happy to help... just drop me a pm. Do we know bike size etc so far?
  9. 100%... he was an incredible man manager, talent spotter and he always got the max out of his players I think all the teams in the league sighed a huge sigh of relief when he retired
  10. You certainly weren't this chirpy the last time we played... https://www.skysports.com/football/manchester-united-vs-tottenham-hotspur/428873 Still a long way to go this season, don't get too far ahead of yourselves
  11. Far more level playing field these days in terms of the clubs finances and power... in the Fergie days, Utd as the top team when the Premiere League really established itself professionally, they where in a different league in all honesty - they had money and power on a different level and cherry picked most of the best players from the league only re-inforcing their dominance... A lot like Bayern/Juve in all honesty. Now days there are half a dozen plus teams that can simply say not to the big teams and hang on to their best players or at the very least get top top dollar for them when they do need to sell. Heck even Palace have held on to Zaha for years now despite advances from many top teams. The leagues all the better off for it of course
  12. I'm a Spurs fan... but this post of yours is a good example of why everyone hates Utd
  13. If you take 26 days to do the Freedom Challenge then it's solid value... That Otter Trail run entry is insane, but it sells out. So we're clearly happy enough to accept it. Physio bills aside, Comrades a bargain I guess it's a free market, it will change and settle - worry not
  14. Yeah, few things worse than scoring 4 away from home and going home empty handed.. Two goals down to Lloris from the sound of it, he's in a very shady patch of form of late. And also a soft penalty from Hojberg who's probably been our best player this season. It happens
  15. Had to follow the commentary on my phone as we had load shedding... but sounded a cracker. Really not the end of the world, would way rather focus on the other two cups and our league form a bit... Will watch the highlights tonight. Our defense is a bit off though... hopefully we can find a bit of balance between parking the bus and throwing down the kitchen sink
  16. PS: Let's not confuse paying ASA and paying a club fee... ASA suck and they offer virtually nothing. That's the South African way though. We have a massive strong running culture in spite of them... and that again, is largely thanks to the clubs We're very lucky, and I for one will not take it for granted.
  17. Love my running club... very happy to pay over that little bit of cash each year and chip in to help make our race a success and help our top runners develop etc. Clubs are the backbone of pretty much all running in this country, it's the reason we have incredible running options and cheap entry fees as you've got volunteers making races far easier to host every weekend of the year. It's one of the places cycling went wrong, we lost our club culture and with that the events they organised. Now we largely pay professional race organisers an arm and a leg to put on races as they do it for a living, have to cover all costs and marshalls etc. Clubs bring manpower and passion, you can't buy that. Long live the club culture and the club races
  18. Read an interesting article last night on Liverpools blip... quite likely down to fatigue, obviously not aided by the huge hole left by van Dijk. They have 5-6 players in the top 10 for the most minutes in the premier league over the last 3 seasons... add in two champions league final runs, that crazy battle with City the season before they won, and they're rightfully out on their feet. They don't have nearly the depth of City, but City also were well off the pace last year. We all know how hard it is for a team to defend a title these days, and Liverpool on paper put together pretty much two seasons worthy of winning a title... this 3rd season is rightfully a bridge too far. Still think themselves and City and in a different league... Liverpool just need some freshening up, but the basic structure of that team is still pretty incredible, they just have a few too many players not quite at the races. And as for Jose... at least we attacked on the weekend. Kane obviously always changes things, so great to have him back, but still just sitting and waiting for the next horror show. Hopefully he is learning, but there is a part of me that believes he is too stubborn and set in his old ways.
  19. Understatement of the year...
  20. Was more a case of this thread having been going for years with little noise from the red half of Manchester. Heck we get more input from the Birmingham fans. Anyways, football is all about the great rivalry's - it's good to have Man Utd back near the top
  21. Hahahaha... I wouldn't get too excited, I still think they'll finish above you
  22. Nice to see the United fans have crawled out of the cracks of late
  23. One of my designers will do the design options for you, but if you want some more options just give me a shout, always happy to help and of course need them looking great Thanks for the support Frosty, appreciated
  24. Added this to our range these last few months... have become very popular. Everyone loves a good golf shirt, and these do not dissapoint! Give us a shout and let's see what we can do for you
