    Rafa's Tactics Secure Win

    The journey back from London to Liverpool is a long one and, if any of the American contingent from Anfield bothered to make it, you rather hope that someone sat next to them on the bus and told them exactly why they were returning with three points. This victory wasn't due to their only notable...

    Gerrard & Co Give Scolari The Blues

    Apologies for the lateness of this, chaps. Should have been up straight after full-time. They may have come back from the dead against Manchester United in September and they might have turned the game around against Arsenal in Easter, but of all the teams to end their 86 game unbeaten home...

    Goal line Technology??

    In the light of the the Watford v Reading game at the weekend are you for or against goal line Technology?? Surely anything that will lead to fair decisions, help the decision-makers, and stop doubts and controversy has to be a good thing? It works in other sports. Ok, that's not what football...

    Squeezy Condiment bottles

    Does anyone have the same problem? Great invention for getting all most every drop of tomato sauce out he bottle, great for putting pay to the clogged up lid. The purest might say that they prefer the old style bottles that they can bash on the bottom. I personally prefer the old style glass...

    Fancy a swim?

    If you like doing laps in the swimming pool, you might want to stock up on the energy drinks before diving in to this one. It is more than 1,000 yards long, covers 20 acres, had a 115ft deep end and holds 66 million gallons of water. Yesterday the Guinness Book of Records named the vast pool...

    Further light on the Bailey McCormack saga

    Ok so we let in yet another soft goal in a game which will end our automatic promotion hopes; and from my seat it looked like Bailey lost his man in what was his poorest performance I have seen from him. McCormack having the mouth he did he told him what he thought. Bailey wasn't happy...

    Northampton - from an ex-exiled shrimper!

    Evening all, I don't post on any messageboards anymore but browse from time to time and use to post on here a bit. Anyway, I've been away travelling for a year or so, Swansea was first game since being back, and today my second. To maybe give a bit of perspective I thought I'd leave my thoughts...
  9. A review from Neverland

    Well it all began last night at about 10pm with the suggestion of making the trip along the M25 and M4 to Swindon. Clearance was received from our driver's girlfriend and waking up after 6 hours sleep (watched the test match) to the tune of "we are going to Swindon", the excitment set in and...
  10. BARNETBLUE

    Just Got Back..( To Barnet mind!)

    I thought the wheels may well come of our great run today, as I expected Swindon would give us a tougher game than they did. Stand outs for me where Mulgrew, Francis and the centre midfield. The team worked well as a unit; my only possible crtiticism being our front pairings which were OK but...

    TV's Top 25 put-downs

    TV's top 25 put-downs published Lord Blackadder spent most of his life devising witty 'put-downs' Insults by Captain Mainwaring and Lord Blackadder have been named among the top 25 put-downs in TV history, as chosen by the Radio Times magazine. "Stupid Boy!" uttered by Dad's Army's Captain...

    Alot of you need to grow up

    Right I have read some of your comments on here about Matt Harrold and your a ****ing joke. From the timing of your posts its clear you didnt go today so how do you know he played crap. He didnt play crap. The rest of the team did. Only Hunt and Harrold put any real effort in. I went today and...

    Forest scouting report v. Tranmere

    I thought I’d post on here because, for reasons that I don’t need to bore you with, I went to see Forest v. Tranmere and so I thought that I’d report back, albeit not being the most ‘football minded’ as some of you (to quote MK Shrimper). That might mean that my...
  14. Super Bas Savage

    What a brilliant performance from the big man when he came on for the last 20 mins or so.Your defence were running scared from him and for that reason you were severly punished.I've read most of your posts on the game and you are quite right that you controlled the game.But what some of you less...
  15. My thoughts from Leeds.

    Overall, I don't think the squad performed too badly. We dominated the play at times and, despite the free kick, Leeds barely threatened us until Flo came on and we adjusted the back four to cope with him. The midfield is more than capable at this level with suitable depth, Bailey proved this...

    Former Luton Chairman Admits Bungs

    The former Luton Town chairman Bill Tomlins has admitted making illegal payments to middle men whilst his manager Mike Newall was claiming that corruption was rife in football. In a long article in today's Daily Mail written by Bob Graham, Tomlins says he made '13 separate illegal payments to...

    Preston v Southend - match report

    Sorry, it's a bit late but this is the first chance I've had to do the official SZ match report for yesterday. It is often said in football that the true test of character of a team is how they bounce back from a demoralising defeat and if a vast majority of supporters were highly critical...
  18. Steve Bennett

    I'm fully expecting plenty of stick for this post but why so much abuse towards Steve Bennett today. Up until the Maher incident there was no problems with the game. He had controlled it well with an early and fully justified yellow card for McCormack. Why on earth do people think that...

    Stoke it up - a match report

    Well what can I say We beat an average/poor Stoke side that we were expected to beat, by a single goal, a penalty at that But there were so many good points Hammell looks a star in the making, a great crosser of the ball, good defender and takes corners. Daryl made some excellent saves...
