    Adebayor - No Loss

    Generally, when a club agrees to sell their top goalscorer, you can expect a certain reaction from the supporters. It tends to range from anywhere between frenzied phonecalls to the local radio station and furious protests against the chairman in the carpark. Occasionally, in really serious...

    Long Way To Go

    There's a long way to go yet. After an almost flawless first year in charge, Fabio Capello was brought crashing down to earth in Seville by a breath-taking Spanish side who taught him a hard lesson in what it takes to win international honours. England kept pace with the European Champions for...

    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...

    Barton Gets Toon Out Of Jail

    You can say whatever you like about his moral compass, and I've certainly used several pages of this newspaper to do that in the past, but you cannot question Joey Barton's courage. On his first full game since being released from prison, the occasional Newcastle midfielder smashed home an early...

  8. the hall !!

    ok fair enough its a dump,but i simply love the gaff. the pitch is top notch,the quirky ladder to the gantry,the back row seats in the upper,the floodlights which have seen so much over the years,the dodgy food, ect ect. crept onto the pitch on several occasions and "scored" several blinding...

    Subbing Sawyer off?? Bad decision!!

    What was all that about? Our best player on the pitch IMO, and Tilly goes and subs him off, bad move. The guy covered every blade of grass, and was a constant threat. We must sign him up for good. And why have the floodlights on from half time? Was there poor visability in the ground? It...

    I don't know if anybody else has posted this from Phil Jupitus' column in today's The Game section of the Times:- "Recently I met Brian Dear, a West Ham great who, in April 1965 scored 5 times in a 6-1 trouncing of West Bromwich Albion, a record for the quickest 5 goals that still stands today...

    Great Leighs racecourse

    Anyone else been to a meeting yet ? I went yesterday as I eventually want to do all of the 60 racecourses, I'm nearly two thirds through now. It is really quite unusual, the floodlights are shaped like champagne flutes and there are plenty of them in what seems like quite a rural area. The...

    http://www.cu-fc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/Gallery/0,,10424~1316320,00.html seriously how poor is this club? I don't understand why they are moving ground. They had poor floodlights at layer road, and they are talking them with them!

    The play-offs

    The Premier League may be coming to an end, but the divisions beneath it are just gearing up for their most exciting games. The play-offs start tonight and I'm all of a tremble because my beloved Southend are involved, preparing to battle away for a place in the Championship and a chance to...

    The Gunners

    Just occasionally, maybe once a year at most, there comes a football match so beautiful, so intense, so frantic and so scoop-your-jaw-up-off-the-floor exciting, that it's all you can do not to fall to the ground and openly weep in thanks that you were able to watch it. This was an epic struggle...

    West Stand Lights?

    Why do they leave the lights on in the west stand? They were off for the first half of the Cheltenham game but left on during the 2nd half. Now they don't turn the main lights off at all. It kills the atmosphere of a match under floodlights. Please don't tell me it's health & safety as the...

    Northampton Floodlights

    Did anyone else think the floodlights today were an embarrassment? They reminded me of the ones at Canvey. When the ball goes too high you could hardly see it. Infact the ground as a whole has a non-league feel to it. The only good thing is that it's infinitely better than their old ground!

    Friday night vs. Saturday afternoon

    I personally felt that last night underlined once again that evening matches under floodlights generate by far the better atmospheres. The Norwich, Manure and QPR games have all been electric this season - I'm sure that the performances have had more than a little to do with it but there's still...
