  1. Do you wish the sheikhs had visited our pier rather than Nottingham City Centre?

    With all this business of Notts County being taken over by a Middle East consortium and Sven being appointed as their director of football, while we apparently can't afford to pay massive transfer fees and according to some on here are in debt up to our eyeballs, it got me thinking how I would...

    X-Files Special: Prince of Wales really is a Charlie

    From Mark Steyn writing on NRO: According to His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, we only have 96 months left to save the planet. I’m impressed. 96 months. Not 95. Not 97. July 2017. Put it in your diary. Usually the warm-mongers stick to the same old drone that we only have ten years left...

    Garry Cook's Gamble

    I don't want to appear rude or patronising, but something has been bothering me for a while now and I need to get it off my chest. Does Manchester City's chief executive Garry Cook actually understand how football works? I only ask because the evidence is really starting to pile up now. He...
  4. Mr Chris Phillips and SUFC

    Now, before today i thought give him the benefit of the doubt, is he just an excited writer blah blah blah. But after reading todays echo i think the bloke is just really trying to stir the **** up between club and supporters. Most of you who have read his article will understand this point of...

    Moving away

    reading the Rons Blog thread struck a bit of a nerve. Mrs FS is currently in an interim position above her substantive post and looked in line to get the position permanently, however a change in the board has put that in a bit of doubt. She would find it very difficult to return to the...

    Imaginary conversations... or are they?

    Date - 1st July. Venue - Tilly's bedroom. The alarm goes off at 7 am. ST: <yawn> Ah well, another day another dollar. To be fair, it is the start of a new contract year. I wonder if Brushy has sorted out our new players. Better ring and find out. <Dials Brushies number. Phone rings for...

    New Matchday Programme Service

    Just up on the OS. Southend OS. Quite a good deal I think, considering that you can get it delivered to your door free of charge and the cup and pre-season games are freebies. I wont be taking it up as I can't afford it, but I wonder if any of the exiles will be tempted with the free P&P?

    Alonso Attracts Attention

    Spain 5-0 New Zealand Torres 6, 14, 16 Fabregas 24 Villa 48 Rafa Benitez must be getting nervous. Real Madrid's moneybags President Florentino Perez has reportedly set his sights on Xabi Alonso and, after his performance in this dominant victory over New Zealand, you can hardly blame him. The...

    Success? No Chance

    At opposite ends of the country, two ill-fated and short-lived eras are coming to an end. In East London, the unintentionally hilarious reign of Bjorgolfur Gudmundsson is already over. In Newcastle, Mike Ashley has desperately slapped a GBP100m price tag on the front of St James Park in the hope...

    Ancelotti Needs Time

    Roman Abramovich has made his decision. Now let's see if he'll stick with it. The appointment of Carlo Ancelotti as his fifth manager in under two years may have been met with a mixed response from the fans, but the identity of the man is less important than the duration of his tenure. Chelsea...

    Dorian Dervite to be off loaded by Spurs.

    Harry Rednapp must sell before he buys and one of those players due to go is DD. I would guess that Harry would want more than we could afford to pay. Telegraph article

    Cheated Chelsea Lose The Plot

    It was a night that should have been memorable for the beauty of Michael Essien's opening goal, but it is a raging Didier Drogba who will linger in the mind's eye. Furious with the referee's failure to award any one of four possible penalties, he shouted and screamed in his face before being...

    Will Freedman be here next season ?

    To start things off I don't want this to turn into another 'Freedman is overrated' thread. I was surpised to see Dougie given a start against Oldham last weekend especially as it meant we left our top scorer on the bench. So he had to come off at half time with his thigh having 'tightened...

    Breaking News Ron's Blog

    I feel that I should be letting you have my thoughts and feelings about the season now it is effectively at an end but I promised that I would answer all the questions that are put to me and I am continuing to do so. However I will need to bring this to an end soon as it was only meant to span...
  19. Who will come in for Tilson this summer ?

    Plenty of bigger clubs within commuting distance that will either be relegated or have had a poor season by their standards and be looking for a new manager. I predict; Norwich - will really go for it this time, they wanted him a couple of years ago. Charlton - in severe financial trouble so...

    FC - Matchday 5

    Well here it is, the day of my much awaited (for me) title decider back to back FC. I am 7 points clear of second and playing him at his but on my favourite dusty track. 2020 has helped him get some fitness back but he still has a couple of players with serious issues that will help me if needed...
