  1. Ref watch .... Galpharm

    After the somewhat eratic performance from Paul Melin who amply demonstrated why he had fallen from favour, Saturday's official is one of the most experienced on the Football League. Mike Pike from Barrow-in-Furness is man in charge at Huddersfield. In his eleventh and probably close to final...

    Spurs Superior To Baffling Blues

    We all chuckled when Jonathan Woodgate claimed that he joined Tottenham in order to have a chance of winning trophies but, appropriately enough, it was the former Middlesbrough centre-back who delivered the long-suffering club their first silverware in nine years at Wembley Stadium. “Scoring...
  3. Players revolt?

    I heard something at the game last night from a usually reliable source that there has been some sort of players uprising! Apparently, it is all to do with Paul Brush who has been somewhat heavy handed over recent weeks. Tilly has calmed things down but I believe that the payers decided to...

All 8 people i work with were in attendance including a contractor that had been working with us for about 2 months. Anyway we start queuing for food and a...

We did various activities whilst out there but of of my favs which sadly only a few of the stag party got to see due to a big night the night before was I went to Amsterdam Arena to see Ajax vs NAC Breda. I have in...

    FM 2008 isn't very good, is it?

    I've put in a few hours over the weekend with the patched version and I'm still not convinced. As Rochdale, I played 4-3-3, scoring four or five goals every game. Now, obviously I'm good, but I'm not sure that I'm good. Every game seems to end 5-2 or 3-7. It's Hockey Manager 2008. Also, that...

    For those of you worried Leon may head back to Shef Weds....

    From Vital Football.. Calls to bring Leon Clarke back from his loan spell at Southend United have fallen on deaf ears with Owls boss Brian Laws ruling out a return for the frontman. The former Wolves man has been in tip-top form for the Shrimpers by bagging seven goals in eight games since...

    20 years on - The Great Storm of 1987

    Well, 20 years ago today we woke up to find most of the trees of the south-east of England had blown away. I personally slept through the whole thing & was surprised to find a rather upset mother (she's a bit of a tree-hugger) when I got up to go to school as usual. Despite my school being...

    Chocolate on the London Underground

    What's happened to all the Cadbury's machines on the London Underground? Nothing better than having a Boost for dinner after a session in town, but now there's no chocolate to be seen on London Underground platforms. Does anyone know what happened? Have Cadbury's fallen out with TfL? Or have...

    France ot Germany?

    Got the train in to work today with a French girl that I know well. Anyway she was saying how great France is. Now since I went to the World Cup last year I have fallen in love with Germany in all shapes and forms. I just cant get enough of the place. She said Germany is a cack place to visit...

    Good player available...

    If JCR goes, then have a good replacement - Matty Piper. Currently being offered a trial at Mansfield which I found amazing - he has played in the Prem with Sunderland and Leicester and is still young (mid/late 20's). Very quick - wonder why he's fallen from grace?
  14. A Minute Silence For Sir Bernard

    Perhaps we could have a minutes silence for Sir Bernard, before the first home game of the season, as a tribute to one of our fallen heros. Bernard RIP

    Lets try to look forward - even if we do go down :)

    Well, I was expecting more today. It had been a great day - met Matt the Shrimp at 8:30am in Lewisham for a fry up breakfast at Maggie's in Lewisham (can heartily recommend it, if anyone is in the area). We pored over the Grand National runners and riders - my early tip of Kelami (based on a...

    Home Advantage?

    We are of course at home on Saturday, but does this count as home advantage? Sadly the answer seems to be not if we fall behind. We have only THREE points from home games in which we have fallen behind. That is a disgraceful statistic, considering that we have been losing in over half our home...

    The Maths

    The difference is astonishing. If you consider 50 as the magic number here's a quick comparison: 8/12/06: P21 W2 D6 L13 F16 A38 GD-22 Pts12 38 points required from 25 games so W11 D5 L9 or W10 D8 L7 30/1/07: P30 W6 D9 L15 F26 A47 GD-21 Pts27 23 points required from 16 games so W6 D5 L5 or W5...

    Southend United - How far have we come? Part 5

    “Southend United Football Club needs new energy and direction. With careful financial planning and professional management there is no doubt in our minds that the club is geared for greater things.” So read a statement released by Martin Dawn plc in November 1998 just after they had secured a...

    Southend United - How far have we come? Part 4

    “It was only four years ago that this club was losing £2.3m a season,” Ron Martin enthused as he published the accounts for the financial year ending July 2002 which showed that Southend United has lost “just” £707,665, the fourth year in succession that the club had reduced its losses. It was a...

    Move for Constantine?

    The Port Vale Official Site reports that the swap deal which would have taken Leon C to Barnsley has fallen through. What do you think the possibilities of a swap of Constantine for Paynter are like? Both sides would get back a player that has done well for them in the past so potential win...
