    Capital Punishment

    Bring it back or not? Use it in extreme cases? Keep it abolished? In the wake of the 'Baby P' murderers being granted a new life when they leave prison, with all the trimmings i might add, would Capital punishment be more fitting for these scumbags? What's your take on it all?

    Rafa At Boiling Point

    I love this time of the year. It's always mid-July when you first start to feel those tingles of anticipation.. It only ever takes something small to set you off on a glorious meander around the inside of your head, fantasising about the new campaign. The realisation that the first pre-season...

    Chairmen’s Conference Portugal June 2009 – Two Important Issues

    As part of the Club’s policy of supporter communication I thought it may be helpful to advise of a couple of changes affecting football finances which were discussed last week between the whole of the Football League Clubs. Four times a year Football League Clubs meet to discuss matters...

    Dear Andorra

    Now, on the off chance that someone from Andorra is holidaying in Singapore and is reading this article, let me make it clear that I have nothing against your country. I've never met an Andorran, which is hardly surprising as I believe there are only about 30 of you in existence, but I'm sure...

    Classic Crimewatch/Crimewatch Gold

    Did anyone else find the montage of 'classic' Crimewatch cases at the end of last nights program a bit odd? Surely they could have devoted the time to open cases instead? Does anyone else think they were gauging pulic opinion on a new Classic Crimewatch / Crimewatch Gold series where they will...

    Let The Spending Continue!

    If there is to be a dramatic collapse in the finances of the Premier League clubs, it may not happen for a few more years yet. The much-heralded drop-off in those all-important TV revenues have failed to materialise, which is welcome news for those clubs over-burdened with debt. The Times...

    UFO's Part II

    Given the owners of this glorious site have withdrawn my right of reply in relation to the debate about UFO's, I feel I should add the following. Unidentified flying object (commonly abbreviated UFO) is a popular term for any seemingly aerial phenomenon that is not readily identified. Research...

    It's only going to get worse...

    ...well it MIGHT do since we have games coming up thick and fast, our team isn't functioning as a unit, we have no quality on the bench to shake things up and so many of our better quality loanees have returned to their clubs (even if in some cases this might not be for too long). We certainly...

    Scolari Knows The Price Of Failure

    Luiz Felipe Scolari is all too aware of the ramifications of failure at Chelsea. High expectations and high expenditure means a low tolerance for poor results. "Now we need to beat Cluj," he said after drawing with Bordeaux on Wednesday night. "But if I thought my players did not have the...

    Question Interactive Novel Writing

    Ok, bit of a weird one this. I have here the first 1,500 words of a story, battered out in an afternoon to no distinct end or conclusion. It's a first draft, it hasn't been polished or checked and, critically, it doesn't have a direction. I was thinking of a British version of Lost/Journey To...

    Best / Most wanted Power Tools.

    I was reading the Screwfix catalogue last night looking for Xmas presents and found myself wishing I had more power tools. The best power tool I own is a De Walt cordless drill which I simply could not do without. I often find myself nodding towards builder types with De Walt cases and massive...

    The 'Stan

    First of all, I'm writing this from my perspective of the last six months, I'm no hero, but plenty of my collegues are. Hopefully no one will think I'm writing this is order to show off, or to earn rep. Indeed, please don't rep me for this at all. I realise I'm probably not the only serviceman...

    Why are we so bad?

    Why is this Country so bad and how can we fix it? Having just returned from holiday, once again, I find it exasperating that we are rubbish at so much stuff. We used 5 airports, Heathrow terminal 5 was ok, JFK, La Guardia and Tampa were all excellent. Arrived back at Gatwick. Plane stops, sit...
