    Italy Stunned By Fiery Pharaohs

    Egypt 1-0 Italy Homos 40 It was the Brazilian legend Pele who once said that an African side would win the World Cup before the year 2000. Sadly, like most of Pele's predictions, it was about as accurate as a John Terry penalty. But if that vast continent can't yet produce a side capable of...

    Grays Chairman Woodward In Slight Over-Reaction Shocker (Again)

    Good to read from the Non League Paper website that our Grays Athletic chairman friend Mr. Woodward being his usual quiet self last night ... Woodward To Quit Grays by Stuart Hammonds Wednesday, March 18, 2009 GRAYS ATHLETIC chairman Mick Woodward has told The Non-League Paper he is quitting...

    This Article Took 3 Hours Of My Life...

    ....90 minutes to watch it, 90 minutes to write it. I'll never get that time back. Never. West Ham 0-0 West Bromwich Albion So West Bromwich Albion are just a pretty team are they? Tell that to Rob Green, the West Ham goalkeeper who felt the full wrath of the struggler's newly found nasty...

    What have you done with your vinyl?

    Now this forum has officially become a Nick Hornby novel, it's got me reminiscing about all my old vinyl. There were some real classics in there: Transvision Vamp - Pop Art LP (signed pre-release version) Zodiac Mindwarp - Prime Mover (blood red vinyl 12") Loads of picture discs - Madonna...

    The Fall of Roman's Empire?

    The rumours that Roman Abramovich is attempting to sell Chelsea may have been quickly denied by the club, but when you stack up the numbers, it's all too plausible. Stamford Bridge has been a black hole for the Russian oligarch's cash and, in a year when he's lost so much money elsewhere, it...

    Score It, O'Hara!

    Someone really needs to find out what Harry Redknapp is saying at half-time, because if we can patent and market it, we'll make a fortune. After an abject first half at White Hart Lane, Tottenham burst into life in the second, scoring four goals in twenty minutes, helped in no small way by the...

    Fortune of War

    Can you help settle a family argument? When did the Fortune of War roundabout on the A127 stop being a roundabout? I say early 80's, but a Basildon web site says 1995.
  8. Tribute to Steve Tilson II

    Would love to ask Mr Coral or Ladbrokes what price they would give between Tilly, Alex Ferguson or Wegner being first manager out. Or out of the top 7 longest serving, I would be willing to make a sizeable wager [if the odds were favourable] that ST will not be first to go. Since our polls...

    Dire Chelsea Give Scolari Headache

    They say that fortune favours the brave, but apparently the deal isn't exclusive. On a miserable night in Southern France, the fates took a shine to a substandard, disappointing Chelsea side who should have seen their Champions League hopes laid to waste, but somehow survived to snatch a vital...

    Gunners Fire Blanks

    How Arsenal could have done with a win here. With two disastrous results behind them and a foreboding clash with Manchester United waiting on Saturday, this was a perfect opportunity to boost morale, on and off the pitch, but it wasn't to be. Fenerbahce, much improved from their humiliating...

    More Bloody Spurs Muck

    Gary Megson must have been furious when he woke up on Sunday morning and saw the backpages. The Bolton Wanderers manager had all week to look forward to a trip to White Hart Lane and then they go and boot out the floundering manager less than 24 hours before kick-off. The swift arrival of Harry...

    Spurs Self-Destruct Again

    Another day, another miserable result for Tottenham Hotspur. The pressure will continue to build on the beleaguered Juande Ramos, but with performances this self-destructive and stupid, is it really any wonder? Spurs were the architects of their own downfall on a cold, windy night in Northern...

    Kinnear Kickstarts Shola Show

    Could it be that Mike Ashley has actually made a sensible decision? The man whose baffling policies have crippled Newcastle United in little over a year doesn't get much right, but in the recruitment of Joe Kinnear, of all people, he might allow himself a smile. The forgotten man of English...

    Why The Laughter Has To Stop

    It's very rare that you can brutally assess and pass judgement on a football club, as this column did with Tottenham Hotspur two weeks ago, and still be able to come back one match later with plenty of new material. Tottenham, though, are a glorious curiosity for the neutral, but an excuse to...
  15. platini and the credit crunch

    platini has now stated new rules may be put in place to curb clubs from losing their identity,look at arsenal managed by a frenchman with most of the squad overseas players. personally it should be a max of 5 overseas players per matchday squad thus allowing homegrown talent to shine. a...

    Platini Has Sold Us Out

    The arrival of Michel Platini as the head of UEFA was supposed to herald a new dawn for European football. It was the ascent of a footballing legend, a lover of the game, into a position of great power. What a shame that he's turned out to be just like the faceless bureaucrats he replaced...
  17. Zone Update Today's meeting with Ron

    Personally I never saw the need for a meeting,if you know Ron as well as I do he has nothing to hide.His first statement to J was "You can ask me anything about SUFC and I will answer it honestly and with proof". In fact he had a desk full of paperwork to justify his comments and offered many...

    Benitez Must Improve

    It's two wins from two for Liverpool in the Premier League and European qualification has been secured, but has success ever been this abject? If the sign of a champion is the ability to win when you play badly, then Liverpool should have the title wrapped up by Christmas, because I don't think...
