    Crisis? What crisis? Beset by injuries, Chelsea saved their best performance of the season so far for the day when the smart money was on Aston Villa to end that long unbeaten home run of theirs. Luiz Felipe Scolari's walking wounded preserved their record in a magnificent first half before...

    Cristiano Ronaldo's endorsement

    I interviewed Ron Harris, the legendary Chelsea defender, at Stamford Bridge once and it was a real eye-opener. As we sat, drinking coffee and chatting about Jose Mourinho, people walked past with their eyes on stalks. Fathers could be overheard telling their sons, "That's Ron Harris, that is...

    Manchester United v Barcelona part 3

    The stage is now set for what we can confidently call, without any fear of exaggeration, the most important English club football match in history.

    People you hated but now admire

    Responding to a post in another thread it dawned on me that I used to really hate Roy Keane, but now find him admirable. Others I used to dislike, but now like, albeit grudgingly in some cases are: Michael Portillo Shane Warne (along with Rolf Harris the only Australian I can bestow such an...

    Southend United - How far have we come? Part 2

    "This football club has lacked direction for a long time," Ron Martin told the Evening Echo's Bernie Friend in mid-September 2000. On the pitch Southend United were struggling at wrong end of the Third Division table, having notched up just one win from their opening seven games of the season...

    Ask Jonny

    On a whim, I have decided to set myself up as this board's Agony Uncle, as there does seem to be a fair bit of angst on here at the moment. Hopefully in the future I will have guest contributions from other such beacons of virtue as MtS, DtS and Slipperduke. I'm off for a two-hour pub...
  18. JCR

    Some may feel the topic description a tad harsh but personally, for all the tearing about he does, I feel his contribution to the team is a negative one. I am not suggesting that he does not have potential but I am saying that his current performance and style is rubbish. I am amazed that Tilly...

    Jobseekers

    I'm down the job centre tomorrow (oops make that today in about 8-1/2 hours ) for a JSA interview (three weeks after requesting it).
