    Chelsea fans will feel crushed today

    Thanks guys, really glad you liked it! Here's the follow-up: High up near the rafters of the Luzhniki Stadium, as the early morning rain washed away the tears of his expensively assembled superstars, the Super Tsar himself, Roman Abramovich, sat disconsolately wondering what might have been...

    Was the writing on the wall?

    Being at this distance and not seeing the side regularly (last match home to Leeds), I am probably not best equipped to analyse the end of our season. However, I just have this sneaky feeling that the writing was on the wall in the matches against Tranmere and Port Vale and no one saw it (or...

    Recently

    Things have drastically improved for the blue boys recently, after a patchy middle of the season. I have been impressed with the teams ability to get good results without actually playing that well IMO. I dont think we have seen this teams potential peek yet. And I dont know if we will for the...

    Avram Grant Part 2

    The lone figure on the touchline hunched his shoulders and pulled his long coat closer in the bitterly cold wind. Around him, 40,000 angry supporters howled at him in derision. "You don't know what you're doing!" they roared. "You don't know what you're doing!" The figure remained still, unmoved...

    Securing The Future, Letting Go Of The Past

    It’s been an emotional day. Well, it’s been an emotional day for you guys anyway. I spent the morning frantically trying to make Chelsea’s routine victory over Olympiakos sound interesting and I didn’t even know that the new stadium had been approved until Cricko phoned me up and told me. For me...

    Results today

    So... reasonably happy with the weekends results? Tranmere lose at home, and Orient throw away three points ! It means we are closer to the playoffs than we were before the weekend Walsall and Doncaster win .. looks like we are after 6th place ! Leeds win ... ominous and they have some...

    Wiggy's ratings!

    Flavs 6 nothing to do, kicking unusually a bit wayward, one high ball claim, static for corners Hammel 6 assist for goal and generally ok Barrett 7 lost a few heading duals but strong in the tackle Clarke 7 same as Barrett and much better than last week Hunt 7 continued his rich vein of form...

    Wiggys Rating's

    Flavs 6 not much to do, no better and no worse than Collis in the air, regulation diving save, good kicking, felt much more secure with his concentration and awareness behind the defence. Hammell 6 done a couple of unwanted Maher type looping corners, defended adequately Hunt 8 much better, good...

    Reading - Arsenal

    I covered this game last night, and if you didn't see it then congratulations. It was truly awful and a shocking example of the way the game has gone in the top flight. Here's the report, have a read and be thankful that Southend aren't in the Premier League! "What do you do with a problem...

    Well done Tilly, Wiggy's ratings!

    What a nice surprise to see that Tilson had abandoned the Maher is an automatic choice and let's give Matt Harrold yet another chance to prove he has got any ability as a footballer as the team was read out. Rating's as follows.... Collis 6 very little to do but am now more convinced than ever...

    Coventry City

    Now THERE'S a good, organised, battling side. Watching them on SS at the moment against a shocking Preston side, and they've just taken a 2-1 league having been 0-1 down. Very impressive, reckon they might go up this year.

    Bank Holiday Monday game

    As there's no Football League fixtures on Bank Holiday Monday for reason's unknown, there's one fixture that may be worth catching - Billericay Town vs Chelmsford City. Two side who will without doubt be battling it out at the top of the Ryman League. Could be interesting. I'd guess a crowd...

    Would you move to Blackpool for double your money.

    I was watching the play off finals between Blackpool and Yeovil on Sunday with the lads down our local while battling with the worst roast I have ever had the misfortune to eat. The lads and I did a mission to Blackpool about 10 years ago to celebrate my mates 18th and I have got to say I have...

    Could this be the non-league goal getter?

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/c/coventry_city/6704577.stm Would make sense as Tilson did say we would be battling it out with a few clubs.

    Home Advantage?

    We are of course at home on Saturday, but does this count as home advantage? Sadly the answer seems to be not if we fall behind. We have only THREE points from home games in which we have fallen behind. That is a disgraceful statistic, considering that we have been losing in over half our home...
