  1. Next season's challengers

    I've just seen that Fleetwood have signed Steven Gillespie from Col Ewe. They also got Jon Parkin on a free from Cardiff the other day so are starting to consider them a real threat this year. Obviously with Rotherham also throwing money around like it's going out of fashion you'd expect them to...

    PL Weekly Points Points for Round 36

    On the face of it "paper" would suggest comfortable wins for 5 of our closer challengers, with our game at Shrews the potential deal breaker. The fact only Swinetown managed a win (a fairly late one at that) leaves one with very much a "could've been so much better but could've been so much...

    PL Weekly Points Round 48

    Harry tried to trick us a little adding 5 supposed home bankers to the usual "pin in the page" SUFC prediction, most suspected one of those would fail though only Wickford thought it would be Gillingham, however he came a cropper elsewhere so it pretty much came down to correct scores and...

  4. The Mark of a ChampiYong

    Ok, Ok, I know this is late... But I was on my travels while this happened. While your reading this, there's no doubt in my mind that Tiger Woods is on a golf course somewhere, meticulously tinkering away with his swing and clubs, trying to identify just what went wrong at Hazeltine. After...

  5. Brighton splash the cash

    Brighton have snapped up Stockport's highly rated left back for 150k along with Craig Davies from Oldham for around 150k. This window has already seen the Seagulls sign Seb Carole,Chris Birchall,Jason Jarrett and Calvin Andrew on loan from Palace. These new addtions will see the Seagulls pull...

    The League One Table

    The League One table appears to be splitting into seven distinct groups at the moment. These are: 1. Likely champions - Leicester City 10 points ahead of the rest 2. Promotion chasers - MK Dons and our next opponents Scunthorpe 3. Three likely play-off contenders 4. The play-off chasing...

    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...

    Happy Birthday Fabio!

    Happy Birthday Fabio! It's now exactly a year since Mladen Petric rifled in Croatia's third goal at a rain-soaked Wembley, mercifully bringing an end to the Steve McClaren era. A year since Fabio Capello wondered if he might be able to do a better job. The Italian manager told reporters last...

    Money Won't Buy Al-Fahim Success

    It may be billed as 'the clash of the cash', but if anyone at Manchester City thinks that their sky-rocketing bank balance automatically gives them parity on the pitch with Chelsea, then tonight's game is going to be a really nasty wake-up call. When you sweep away the tabloid headlines and the...

    The Championship

    After the scenes of celebration that greeted their dramatic play-off victory last May, even the most cynical of Derby County's fans couldn't have imagined the humiliation that was to come. Ironically, if they'd lost that Wembley final, Billy Davies would still be in charge, picking up the...

    December is a busy time of year over here in England. There's Christmas shopping to be done, Christmas decorations to be arranged, Christmas trees to be purchased. In short, there's a whole lot of Christmas going on. Most of us spend these early weeks of the month constructing an enormous...

    Respective Run-ins

    What with Saturday's late goal & Sodje's injury, my sunny promotion optimism isn't as strong today, so I thought I'd have a look at both Brentford's & Huddersfield's run-ins as really they are our main 2 challengers (Col U have definitely blown the title as far as...
