    Brave Arsenal Squeeze Through

    Roma 1-0 Arsenal (6-7 on pens) (Juan, 9) We've always known that Arsenal's kids are talented. Now we know that they're brave as well. After an energy-sapping 120 minutes in the Stadio Olimpico, 111 of them played without their single goal safety net, they picked themselves up off the floor and...

  3. Zone Update Oh David!

    A new email from David. Its long so I have only posted main bits; - for a high number of games this season I have had a colleague listen to the commentary feed and advises me if there are any problems. So far this season, he hasn't reported any to me. - I understand that when the away...

  5. Ref Watch ... Peterborough

    After last night's match was played in such a good spirit that Keith Hill was able to appear merely "poor" instead of his usual "appalling", we move on to a tricky looking match at Peterborough with the man in charge being Andy Haines from Tyne and Wear. A second year referee, he has done...

    One of those great days in football... the sun shining, our first visit to a new ground, a full away allocation, plenty of needle and lots of reasons to laugh at your neighbours who couldn't even fill their tiny stadium on a day like today when Southend were in town having failed to win away for...

  9. Is this acceptable club behaviour? Didn't think so...

    With our exams and assignments over, me, my housemates and a select few other lads decided a proper session was in order... So we hopped on the train over to Brighton to escape Eastbourne. Top night all round, Beers over the football and on to a few bars whilst ITV made a hash of it before...

    Ron Martin and Garry Adamson

    Just going to buck the trend of late about club bashing, and post a thread about the extremely excellent service I received from both Ron and Garry this week. I raised a query with Ron earlier this week over an altercation with a member of the ticket office staff, and a seating problem - I...

    Joe Cole

    Did anyone really think he deserved the abuse he got when he went down injured? It was clear he was in a lot of pain, and was not putting it on. Moreover, he accepted Grant's apology whilst being very injured. There was no attempt to make out that Grant had caused the injury either. Can some...

    Wilkins Worried By Wobbles

    After a hard night at Roots Hall, Luis Felipe Scolari was in no mood to face the media. Perhaps he was locked in the dressing room with a blackboard, some chalk and a squad still struggling to understand the concept of zonal marking. Whatever the reason, it was Ray Wilkins who squeezed into the...

    Scolari Safe... For Now Luiz Felipe Scolari may not be in the mood to be pleasant to any of his players after a week of backbiting and under-achievement, but if he has any sense, he'll give Petr Cech a very firm pat on the back. The word 'crisis' may be overused in football, but had it not been...

  15. Ref Watch .... Chelsea

    As we take on Chelsea competitively for the 3rd time in the club's history, referee Stuart Attwell from Warwickshire referees us for the 3rd time. (The other two were one win, one defeat ... I'd take the draw to complete the set!) A somewhat notorious official, Mr Attwell was promoted to SG...

  16. An Apology

    Dear all, Yesterday I became aware that a stupid comment I made a while ago had really offended Numphgirl (Senga) and since then caused her to leave the board. At the time I saw this as usual childish banter and nothing more. No one mentioned anything to me so I was completely oblivious...

    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...

    Dire Chelsea Give Scolari Headache

    They say that fortune favours the brave, but apparently the deal isn't exclusive. On a miserable night in Southern France, the fates took a shine to a substandard, disappointing Chelsea side who should have seen their Champions League hopes laid to waste, but somehow survived to snatch a vital...

    The Never Everton Story

    And so ends a miserable weekend for the more prosperous end of the Premier League. Wigan's narrow victory over a lacklustre Everton at the JJB Stadium meant that, along with every member of the big four failing to score, every team in the top ten failed to win. The victory drags Steve Bruce's...

    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...
