    John Terry having fun in the Sun.

    I ventured onto facebook last night to notice that on the Home page along with everyones updated status' was a picture of John Terry and a young lady who is a friend of a friend. Curiousity engaged me and I took a look at the photo and it was harmless. JT and the girl standing next to each...

    A Bridge Too Far ?

    I didn't actually see the draw for the FA Cup Quarter-Finals being made and wonder if anyone made reference to the prospect of Wayne Bridge's return to 'the Bridge' to face his erstwhile best mate John Terry. Football is indeed 'a capricious misstress,' as Barrie Williams once said ... :)

    E-on Rayleigh Call Centre Closure Means 600 Jobs Losses

    Been announced that E-on is shutting the Rayleigh call centre down. As well as putting up with callers assuming all call centre staff are divs, and being ranted at down the phone, the workers have been 'rewarded' with management taking their livelihoods away. Nice. Oh, how lovely the FA Cup...

    Sullivan Can Save Hammers

    The arrival of David Gold and David Sullivan at Upton Park is the best news that West Ham United fans could have asked for this year. Their team may be locked into a relegation battle, their money long since squandered on shoddy goods, but finally they have people in the boardroom who know what...

    Stick With Rafa

    (For a different paper this time, hence the shorter word count) Is the FA Cup important again? It's the only explanation for the sudden turnaround at Anfield. Like a battered wife, the Liverpool fans have taken one beating too many and they're rising up, teeth bared, against Rafa Benitez...

    Save Rafa....

    Out of the title race, out of the Champions League, out of the League Cup and out of the FA Cup. Under normal circumstances, it's obvious that Rafa Benitez would be out of a job this morning but, unfortunately for Liverpool, these are far from normal circumstances. They are broke, weighed down...

    Just came on as a second half sub for Coventry against Portsmouth in the FA Cup. Should make good viewing.

    Blow Me, Duckface. I'm Sick of Hicks

    Is it nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune or to take arms against a sea of troubles and, by opposing, end them? A question posed 500 years ago by Hamlet in Denmark was emphatically answered this weekend by club director Tom Hicks Jnr in Liverpool. It seems...

    I don't think it has been mentioned on here but it has happened. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/p/preston/8442546.stm He won't have much money to spend so he might have to get some loans ..... its only 28 miles from Manchester to Preston and with Chelsea going up there for the...

    Leeds Live The Dream

    DID LEEDS GET LUCKY? Absolutely not. This was a fully deserved win by a team who paid for their victory in blood and in sweat and in tears. Leeds United may have spent the last two and a half years in the third flight of English football, but if this result is anything to go by, they're on...

  11. We're A Bigger Club Than Wigan...

    ... Sort of. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/fa_cup/8434060.stm They only managed a paltry attendance of 5,355 for their FA Cup tie against Hull. Another case of football clubs completely failing to identify with their demographic and show a complete lack of business sense... Surely...

  12. Pay Up Pompey, Pompey Pay up

    It never rains, it pours... Except in Portsmouth, where the football club seems to permanently be in the grips of a category 5 hurricane. The south coast club are gripped in a relegation battle they seem destined to lose and the mystery surrounding their owner seems to deepen by the day. The...

    1st April 2005: Southend United 2 – 0 Bristol Rovers (League Two) The second half of the decade began with our beloved Shrimpers surging up the league on the back of a series of virtuoso performances from new signing Freddy Eastwood. From the second week of January we went on a long unbeaten run...

  14. 50 games which defined a decade - Part 1 (2000-2004)

    As we've had our last game of the decade, I had planned to do something about the top twenty matches of the ten years just gone but I found it very difficult to leave some matches out, plus in truth it's some of the defeats which have stuck with me the most. And rather than doing a countdown I...

    Breaking News Millwall match postponed

    Our match at the Den on 2nd January has been postponed due to them having an FA Cup tie (remember what those are? :( ) to fulfil. No date has yet been announced for the rearranged fixture. On a personal note, this means that the only match I'll see during my time at home for Christmas could be...

    Picked this up off the net.....quite a good read for those who remember the legends of the early 90's... Andy Ansah’s wing wizardry for Southend United between 1990 and 1996 helped propel the club into the upper echelons of English football, as the Shrimpers bagged back-to-back promotions from...

    Question Playing In London

    When was the last time we won a game in London? The last time I can think of is Barnet away, but then that was the FA Cup anyway. So, last league game? I don't think I've seen us win a league game in London, and that's having seen about 15 of them. Is it just me or is our record in the capital...

    When was the last time Roots Hall did not host either an FA Cup or League Cup tie at Roots Hall ? A few clues: Coronation Street had not started, the farthing was still legal tender, South Africa was part of the Commonwealth, no-one had flown in space and the Berlin Wall hadn't even been...
