    Southend fans at Tottenham

    I was on another website's forums talking about secterianism in Scottish football and about how the Irish chants have offended so many people. I used a bit of quoting to back up my statement but when i went to look for it i found this on a website that stated some examples of secterianism: I...

    Scolari Still Not Happy

    Under ordinary circumstances with an ordinary manager, a 4-0 victory in the Champions League might be considered worthy of celebration. However, it is rapidly becoming apparent that Luiz Felipe Scolari is very far from ordinary. "We did not play very well," he complained afterwards. "We made...

    Memory Lane KURSAAL Memories?

    It's 74 years since we moved from the Kursaal to the Stadium and what I want to know has anyone got any passed down stories of this time? My grandfather who died nearly 57 years ago was a big fan from those days, but I know very little about him or the Kursaal,. Family legend tells us that he...

    Spurs Are Rubbish. Seriously.

    Martin Jol was sacked for less than this. With just one point from their opening four games, their worst start to a season since 1974, this new-look Tottenham Hotspur are rock bottom of the Premier League. Jol, meanwhile, is top of the German Bundesliga with his new club Hamburg. Ah, the irony...

    Design A Pub

    OK, so, money's no object, and land and space are complete non-issues. What's the best possible pub you could ever come up with? Mine? Fossett's Bar will be located just down the road from Fossett's Farm, Southend on Sea, Essex. The bar will be tended by the guy who bartends at The Spread...

    Life In The A-League

    Before I headed off to Oz I said I'd write a regular blog about what it's like supporting a team on the other side of the world. Here is my first effort by way of an introduction to the Queensland Roar - Queensland Roar vs Adelaide United – 24th August 2008 Come On! Imagine this scenario...

    2012 celebration - was it reflective of modern Britain?

    I thought that the point of 2012, according to the BBC coverage and Seb Coe, was to give the youth of today a memorable Olympic Games. The handover ceremony was handled well I thought, being a bit quirky and an ok mix of old and new, but what the hell was that travesty on tv afterwards? If that...

    Official Match Thread Southend v Peterborough

    Off to catch my flight - so taking the liberty of setting this thing up nice and early ;) Shall be an interesting one today - but if we can keep their strikers reasonably quiet we have every chance of winning. Who will be playing in the middle of the park, in light of Bailey's alleged comments...

    Sir Bobby Robson

    a real shame but it seems to have been on the cards for a while. From the Sun website. ----------- BOBBY ROBSON has won countless battles during a career which has earned him a permanent place in the nation’s hearts. But his latest fight, sadly, will be his last. English football’s favourite...

    Zone Update More changes for the Zone

    Over the next couple of weeks, we'll be looking to implement a few more improvements to the Zone, some of them being fairly significant in terms of the overall experience. Since we're unable to load new modifications into a testing area, we sometimes have to run tests live on the forum itself...
  11. Rovers Have Appealed

    The sending off on Friday. I'd be surprised if it goes through but there we go. There has been a rumour that your guy was giving Heffs a bit of stick for being Irish which is not right but for me I think it'd be hard to get it overturned. DONCASTER Rovers striker Paul Heffernan is hoping that...

    Chelsea v Bolton

    In scorching heat against brutal opposition, Chelsea were comfortably keeping their side of the bargain and beating Bolton Wanderers, but with ten minutes remaining, the Stamford Bridge faithful suddenly fell silent and for a moment the only sound was the pinging of thousands of SMS messages...

    Reserve League Play-Off Final

    Liverpool's senior side may not picked up any silverware this year, but on Wednesday night at Anfield, Gary Ablett's reserve team were on hand to show them how it's done. Having won their regional divisional with room to spare, the youngsters were sent out to face Aston Villa's second string for...

    "squeaky-bottom time."

    For the first time since 1968, the destination of the title will be decided on the last day between two teams on level points. One slip-up, one mistake, and an entire season's hard work will come crashing down around the ears of one unfortunate manager. Hundreds of millions of people will crowd...

    2007/08 season

    For all the moments of high drama, the goals, the saves and the tears, I've got a funny feeling that the 2007/08 season will be remembered as the year that the owners of football clubs across the land finally lost their tenuous grip on reality. It's as if there is a private competition between...

    Chelsea v Liverpool

    Frank Lampard has never been the most popular of footballers, certainly not with fans of other clubs, but you'd have to have a heart of stone not to stand up and applaud his astonishing composure after a emotional night at Stamford Bridge. Seconds after seeing a goal they were already busy...

    Tranmere Stewards/Fans

    Absolutly fantastic they were:) They kept themselves amused by constanly moving my flag around and throwing balloons at me. And the fans were great afterwards, one bloke came up and said "good luck in the play offs and please please pleeeease beat Leeds and Forest for us" also "If you all...

    Derby v Arsenal

    There was a point in the proceedings at Pride Park when this odd football match crossed an invisible line between disaster and farce. An Arsenal cross looped into the home penalty area, but drifted a little too far and looked to be heading out of play. Derby's wardrobe-shaped Darren Moore...

    Arsenal v Reading

    Arsenal returned to winning ways at a freezing cold Emirates Stadium with a convincing 2-0 victory over a Reading side who are nose-diving at the worst possible time. Only a combination of fine goalkeeping, desperate clearances and Arsenal's own profligacy prevented this from becoming a...
