    Digital SLRs (possibly second hand)

    Wondered if anyone had any advice? I enjoy stealing my dad's Canon D60 Digital SLR, but doesn't happen as often as I'd like. I really enjoy taking nature pics on walks around the countryside (I must be getting old!) and could do with my own piece of kit. However this will be my first D SLR and...
  2. I hope we go down

    Just as any other Blues supporter, the thought of staying up still lingers, but if my reading of the situation is anywhere near right then I feel it will be for the best if we go down. Lg 2 is not as strong and with the current financial upheavals we could probably better afford a possibly...

    Time For Chelsea To Grow Up

    WHAT’S GONE WRONG AT CHELSEA? For six years, Chelsea have been a relentless winning machine, but that arrogant sense of superiority has faded away. In its place is hesitancy, vulnerability and a worrying inability to dictate the flow of games. Chelsea are dropping points so frequently that...
  6. Is Tilly blameless???

    Everyone knows that Tilson's job is extreamly difficult at present with no investment in players, poor morale etc. But is he realy blameless for the poor run of results. For example Portsmouth are in probably a worse situation than us and even Avram is getting results. I would suggest that if...

    Bath Half for Little Havens

    Hi all, firstly, if any of you work for southend united, then read no further as you have prob not been paid yet and thus me asking for money is pretty pointless. Basically, after reading on here a while ago the challenge of toellandback i wanted to do something to raise money for little havens...

    Need some advice........

    I'm calling on you Zoners for a spot of advice, i fancy lumping a tidy sum on a treble tomorrow, but i'm a bit nervous about whacking on such a large amount, mainly because i can't afford to lose :( Here it is; - Luton to win at Hayes and Yeading - Saints to win at Tranny - Huddersfield to...

    Question Replacement Season Cards

    Had my wallet nicked in early January which (along with less important things such as cash, credit cards and driving license) contained my Season Card. Gave the ticket office a crime reference and they said they'd send a new one through the post. Nothing arrived, I used a spare season ticket...

    Things are going great.......then!

    Just imagine, life is good, you study well, get a good job, meet a girl, marry, get a mortgage for a nice house and then along come the kids. You've done everything right and the future is brilliant. Then imagine this was your father or grandfather and the year was 1939, you've got a good but...

    Francis Laurent

    With us involved in a relegation scrap, is Francis Laurent a luxury on the team sheet we can't afford? A lot of you seem opposed to playing him up front saying he is a winger, but there's no way I'd even contemplate him starting in midfield in our current predicament. He is an absolute luxury...
  12. Can things get any worse?

    A lot of fans feel very depressed about what's been going on at our club recently, but can things get any worse? I'm afraid the answer is yes. The one great thing we still have at this club right now is Tilly & Brush. They've proved what they can do on a tight (but reasonable) budget and in...

    Rest of the Season..points from where?

    Potential Transfer Targets?

    I hate doing these, everytime a player is released someone on here will link them to us, but once I saw this one I thought we could do with him. http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11688_5870735,00.html So Forest have released four players, including Arron Davies who had a very productive 3...

    Not Impressed With Barclays

    Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing to express my despair at the level of customer service in your Kentish Town branch. My wife and I, both Barclays account holders individually, have been attempting to open a joint account but, despite two trips to the branch, we have been unsuccessful. My wife is...

    transfer window

    am I right in thinking the window opens on the first? if so we could have some new faces by the time wallsall come to town, I know we getting M'voto back but will we get others, can we afford any? I think a left back older than 12 is a must, some pace up top with barney and a winger would be my...

    British Suicide Bombers

    British suicide bombers are set to begin a three-day strike on Monday in a dispute over the amount of virgins they are entitled to in the afterlife. Emergency talks with Al Qaeda management have so far failed to produce an agreement. The unrest began last Tuesday when Al Qaeda announced that the...

    League 1 stats

    http://www.skysports.com/football/stats/comp/0,19886,11718,00.html I was looking through some stats on the internet to try and find out where Lee Barnard was in the League 1 goalscoring stats and come across this stats page from skysports. I have added a link as it may be of interest to many of...

    Sacked for helping 'the poor'

    The Bank of America fired 23 year-old Jackie Ramos of Fairburn, Georgia for breaking with bank policy to help desperate customers find a way to pay back their debts and avoid penalty fines. Listening to her explanation for her actions, I want to say that I would join a bank employing people like...

    Crisis Time, But Don't Sack Rafa

    Forget the Champions League. Forget the Europa League. Forget the FA Cup. For Liverpool, nothing now is more important than the Premier League. The very future of the football club depends on where they finish in the table in May. The crass stupidity of the leveraged buy-out that gave control...
