    BUPA London 10k 2009 - sponsorship!

    Hello all I know it's that time of year when lots are bugging for sponsorship for certain things - mainly marathons and 10k runs. I am one of those annoying people! I am going to be running the BUPA London 10k again this year as I enjoyed it so much last year. This time I am running for the...
  5. Question Is it acceptable to break up a new relationship?

    People of SZ, here's something to muller over on a Miserable Monday afternoon... Having broken up with my ex in October, I've been single for around 3 months and have enjoyed the freedom... However living in a house with 5 other lads, all of which birded up, it gets a bit irritating when I find...

    Inverness Caledonian Thistle have parted company with manager Craig Brewster after a run of seven consecutive league defeats. The Highland club sit bottom of the Scottish Premier League table, one point adrift of 11th-placed Falkirk. Brewster was in his second spell at the club, having...
  7. Atmosphere at Roots Hall

    Every fan who went to the game last night definitely enjoyed the game and will wish it all over again. So why cant fans make the effort for every single game - home and away. Why cant we have every block in the stand chating and cheering on the team whether its Chelsea we are playing or whether...

    The Strife of Riley

    You have to take your consolations where you can in life. On an evening when he was bellowed at by Southampton's manager Jan Poortvliet and widely abused by over 30,000 home fans, Mike Riley should draw solace from the fact that he lives in Leeds, some 205 miles away from the St Mary's Stadium...

    Our little trip to Chelsea

    I awoke at 4am in need of a wee and stumbled out of bed. One empty bladder later I attempted to get back to the land of nod, no chance. So I surfaced, got dressed and tip toed into the kitchen for a cuppa. Got bored with the telly so tormented the cat for a while by making out I was going to let...

    Statski77 (Matt) is currently over here on holiday visiting his family who live in Brisbane now and last night we met up for the Queensland Roar game. We had a few beers pre-match in Caxton Street and into the ground where he took a few photo's which I'm sure will be posted on here when he...

    Walker bashing

    Some Southend fans are an utter disgrace, you could tell they almost enjoyed Walker missing today. They just love a scapegoat. People like that are just as scummy as any West Ham fan. Idiots.

    Jennifer Aniston and F.R.I.E.N.D.S

    Not only am I strangley protective over Aniston, I am also protective over the show which made her and the other 5 characters - FREINDS. Reference was made in the Jolie and Aniston thread to Friends being rubbish etc. I don't believe this is the view of many. I LOVE this show and I watch re...

    My Roar blog - part 2

    At the start of the A-League season I posted a blog about my experiences as a newly emigrated ‘Pom’ supporting the Queensland Roar. General commitments relating to settling into the country (getting a new job, buying a car, finding somewhere to live) has meant I haven’t made it a regular thing...

    Pre-Match Thread Ricey's Report: Luton Town, FA CUP 29/11/08

    Minus 30 But Not Out. Who would have thought it? 2 seasons ago both the Mighty Shrimpers and The Hatters were playing against some of the best sides in English Football. Now Luton are on the verge of relegation from the football league less than 3 years after they were playing football in the...

    Nervous Gunners Slip Through

    Cesc Fabregas is the youngest Arsenal captain since Tony Adams and, appropriately enough, the new era began much like the old one. The Gunners were tentative and unsure of themselves, but recovered their composure to sneak a victory. One nil to the Arsenal? Meet the new boss, same as the old...

    Defending and Midfielding!!

    This isn't really a new point, but as it's topical based on today, thought I'd bring it up again - if nothing else, it gets me nearer to 1,000 posts on here :) Yorkshire Blue and myself (actually, probably most people) have long been saying the problem we have yet to properly resolve with our...

    They Haunted the Os:

    Return Of The Kev! Saturday the 22nd of November brings Oldham Athletic to Roots Hall and the first and most noticeable point of their visit is the 2 match touchline ban that has been handed to the Latics manager John Sheridan for improper conduct. The unfortunate news for us Shrimpers is that...
