I think you are hate watching at the moment my friend. I am just along for the ride. I'm at the point I get to with every one of our managers near the end where its just funny and chaotic.

Shhhhhh, no one tell Shami what just happened :p

Not gonna lie, even with a shimano mechanical groupset I always struggled to get the auto trim to work perfectly. ie. you could use almost the entire wrong end of the rear cassette for the front chainring. Can't imagine how bad it would be without it at all. Then again, perhaps I just shouldn't...

I didn't realise that. I love auto-trim. I assume its a patent issue because its not hard to implement and its a great feature.

This pretty much sums us up. We are massively outperforming our xP this season and we are still having a crap season points wise. This is suggesting we could be just above relegation.

These are always interesting to look at.

Jackson is awful no matter what Chelsea fans would have you believe. They all harp on about him not being a striker but you need your wide forwards not to be utterly abject in front of goal. Hes comically bad at times.

I dunno, it’s a pretty boring topic so a bit of an argument is a bit of excitement in my books :p

I was having a thought earlier about the fact that I struggle to find things that fit me. Clothes, bikes etc. This led me to wonder... why don't we use peoples height to the shoulder as a far more common metric? When sizing a bike it doesn't matter if you have a long head and neck or basically...

None? I kid but every manager we have had has clearly had a weakness outside of the obvious mess at the club. - Moyes isn't a top manager when it comes to the biggest sides. Still had the scrappy small club mentality and didn't have a clue how to handle big players. - LvG was on the wane and...

I think that you have a point but I don't think its as important as you are suggesting. First time out and about this year I struggled to pace myself and probably burnt a few too many matches on some hills but ultimately my fitness has increased a lot from doing almost entirely ERG workouts in...

Honestly I think they will both be great. I much prefer the look of di2 personally. Looks less chunky and out of proportion. Mainly in the rear derailleur. I find mineral oil is far easier to work with as well vs dot which SRAM uses. There was an issue with SRAMs front mechs a few years ago...

On Zwift and have a yearly subscription. Will probably not renew though. Following a training plan on training peaks and honestly I don't really look at Zwift while using it as I always have a show on. I know that the ramp test likely overestimates FTP by a bit but I know roughly how certain...

Some of the decisions I have seen go for RM this season have been utterly bonkers.

"Was that Ashley ******* Young again! We can't keep letting him off! Thats the third time!" They are hilarious. Absolutely love ridiculous grandstanding and overreactions. The worse decision by far was the penalty to RM. The ball probably did go over the line but it wasn't clear.

Oh yeah, a proper 20 minute ramp test requires me to be able to actually pace myself remotely well. Sounds awful.

I don't mind doing FTP tests honestly. They are short, you give your all and you are done. If you have done your training right then you get to see a nice FTP increase.

Sadly I think its just a tolerances issue or manufacturing. If I leave the thru axle relatively loose they spin really nicely. Torque them up to anywhere near 11nm and they are really draggy. I don't think its the bearings. At least 1 of the bearings has been replaced with a high quality SKF...

I think this is what it comes down to. I agreed with many of your points... at the end of last season @Shamikebab but this season he hasn't done what he needed to do and kicked on a bit. He was also buoyed last season by Rashford having a silly season. Honestly, if he performed as well this...

No we didn't show that quality much last season either but that was his first season and fundamentally he achieved the required league position and won a trophy. Hes now had nearly 2 seasons, spent over £400m since he arrived and we are looking awful. What part of the job do you think he is...
