    Danny Thomas

    As reported a number of weeks ago now, Tilly is interested in Danny Thomas. As the echo, rightly claimed for the first time, the other night.

    Real Madrid & Lampard

    The News of the World has claimed that Real Madrid have had a £20m (plus Michael Owen and Santiago Solari) bid for Chelsea's Frank Lampard turned down. If I were Frank, I'd stick where I was as I'd have more chance of winning trophies!! WS

    IAN HOLLOWAY'S AMAZING END OF SEASON PRESS CONFERENCE On celebrating: I rung Kenny Jackett straight away to congratulate him on getting Swansea promoted and he said "I'm waiting to get my goalie out of jail". You can't even celebrate these days, can you? On football...
  7. Fighting

    Haven't seen a mention of this so i thought I would voice my disgust: Whilst walking back to our car on Sat after the game my friend and i having lost touch with the rest of our group including my 53 year old father were attacked by seven or eight Grimsby "lads".  We were walking back and a...
  8. Friday

    Joke 1: Once upon a time in a nice little forest, there lived an orphaned bunny and an orphaned snake. By a surprising coincidence, both were blind from birth. One day, the bunny was hopping through the forest, and the snake was slithering through the forest, when the bunny tripped over the...
  9. My Views on everything since Oxford

    Well having read everyones posts (all 29 pages of them) and having had time to diggest a few things I thought, well I felt I needed to write as I have so many opinions on posts from posters on hear, I think what it does show is so many personalities in people on these boards, and I don't...

    Worst SUFC Div 3 Team Seasons (97-05)

    This subject came up between myself and Proud Shrimper aka Slackman a couple of months ago. The conversation about bad footballers came up as funnily enough a team called Chester who claimed to be a football side were playing us. Who would you list as your worst all time div 3 XI That be from...
  14. Nearly Two Points Dropped

    Failure to convert chances nearly cost us in this play-off challenging game, with the Shrimpers having about 5 real-good opportunities with which to take the lead. Early on it could be seen that Darlo were going to play hoof ball all game, but instead away for the podgy Wingehard as opposed to...

    the fbm view and ratings

    Tilly said it wouldn't be pretty. Bentley said it would be ugly. Neither were lying. Chester have to be the most cynical side I have ever seen at the Hall.  I would hate to have to watch that rubbish every week and they started time-wasting in the first few minutes.  Every time they got the...

    Notts County thoughts

    Just got back from a weekend away and I also went to the County game. Terrible first half from both sides and County looked shocking to be honest. Not many chances, but amazingly Barrett nodded home again! Second half we pretty much controlled except a 5-10 min spell and towards the end we...

    West Ham kicked off and set a fantastic pace.  In the first minute Harewood was set loose in the box and bought a fine save from Bartman.  It was about 3 minutes before we touched the ball and to be fair the movement from the opposition pulled us all over the pitch.  We were however to have a...

    More C2C madness

    I got on the 17:15 from Fenchurch Street last night only for it to be cancelled at 17:16 due to the lack of any guard to run the train. Upon leaving the train I looked on the departure board for details of the next train to Benfleet, which it was claimed departed platform 2 at 17:30, first stop...
