    RIP-Bert Weedon.

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-17781762 Another great musician has passed away today.Anybody who's ever seriously played a guitar(not me sadly) probably owes a debt to the Bert Weedon Play in a day songbook.

    The Dirty Dutch

    Seeing Bert van Marwijk criticism of Howard Webbs performance this morning makes me laugh. In the circumstances Webb was quite restrained in only sending 1 player off. The Dutch clearly set out with a kick anything that moves mentality. De Jongs karate kick on Alonso was bordering on violent...

    Nicknames for Important People....

    Been in Ireland all week and just got back earlier today, but when reading the papers over there the Taoiseach of Ireland has been given a very unflattering nickname of Biffo, which stands for: Big Ignorant Fat ****er from Offaly - as he's screwed so much stuff up over there since he took over...

    Chester Cup 5th May

    Many horses running in this, a few will get pulled because of ground conditions. I was told a few weeks ago to back Bernie the Bolt. It has gone in from 10/1 to 8/1 with Will Hill. I personally only have a tenner to win. But this is from a friend who is friends with the owner of the horse...

  11. Pellegrini In A State Of Pjanic

    When Manuel Pellegrini took the reins at Real Madrid, blank cheque book in hand, I doubt very much he expected his only shot at silverware at this stage of the season would lie solely in a sprint to the finish with Barcelona... Courtesy of Miralem Pjanic, that is exactly the situation. Lyon...

  13. First Class Footballer, Second Rate Sportsman

    Alone in the 18 yard box, dejected with a painful expression on his face. He's missed the penalty, yet the Santiago Bernabeu is rocking. Yes, Cristiano Ronaldo is back to his usual, petulant self and even the Madrid faithful are growing ever-so-slightly tired of it all. If ever a moment defined...

    Bear attack at Berne Zoo

    Just seen this in the paper, why the **** have they shot the poor ****ing bear because some ****wit has climbed into its cage. They should have left the bear to it IMO. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1229998/The-horrifying-moment-bear-mauls-man-climbed-zoo-enclosure.html

    In honour of the Gillingham manager.....

    ....can we come up with a Southend Slow XI Obviously Stimson at left-back and probably captain, pushing out Che Wilson (FACT: Che could run quicker backwards than forwards) and recent loanee, George Friend. Centre-halves - we've had a few who could be outsprinted by a crippled, asthmatic ant...
  18. bookings

    According to the official site Bernard, McCormack and Francis are all on 4 yellows. IF they got booked in the next match, and with our injuries, we really would not be able to put out a team. Long time since I have felt this concerned. We HAVE to get some players in - don't we?

    Had Bernie on his batting net for a week and got a conc pop. I have a feeling his batting might take a while, esp after he was that close to prof conc, so may well list him! Bernard Slabbert - 17 yo, BT Rating=5,205 RH Batsman, RFM Bowler. He is a steady player with superb leadership skills...
