  1. Sextuplets

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/northern_ireland/8063956.stm Interesting listening to the Doctor involved in the case on the radio tonight. He was very careful to say that the babies "Hadn't been concieved by IVF." This has now been reported in some places as a 'Natural conception', eg the...

    SZ Shop-Some issues

    First of all I'd like to apologise for posting this thread here but after a close look at the various forums on the site I couldn't see an obviously more appropriate place for it. The week after the Leicester home game back in April, I ordered an item from the SZ Shop as a gift for a friend in...

    Job Done

    Manchester United 0-0 Arsenal Sir Alex Ferguson stepped lightly across the slick Old Trafford turf, turning slowly and taking in the view as if it was his first ever visit to the stadium. With eyes full of awe and a broad grin splashed across his face, he let out a long, sigh of satisfaction...

    Fergie Must Quit

    I have a dream. I have a dream of Rome, May 27. I see Rio Ferdinand lifting the Champions League trophy, I see Wayne Rooney throwing his shirt into the crowd, but most of all, I see Sir Alex Ferguson leaning into a camera crew and, above the roar of the crowd, giving them the scoop of their...

    New Pitch -really necessary ?

    I am I a bit mad in thinking there wasnt an awful lot wrong with our pitch at the end of the season, just seemed to have the normal wear and tear around the goalmouths. They did this last year and I remember big chunks of the pitch coming up in the first few games as the grass hadnt bedded in or...

    Leaving It Late

    Newcastle 3-1 Middlesbrough Taylor, 9 Beye (og), 3 Martins 71 Lovenkrands, 86 They don't make it easy on themselves up on Tyneside. Watching this spirited and determined victory over Middlesbrough, the objective observer could be forgiven for wondering why they hadn't tried such an approach...

    SZ's Southend United Hall of Fame - Paul Clark Pt II

    Paul Clark was probably better remembered for his second spell at the club, so maybe it would be more apt to be elected on his second ballot. His first ballot saw him receive the second highest number of votes so far (only Stan has had more than the Viking's 88). Now I'm sure a factor in this...

    My end of season review.

    I was asked to write a review for college about a subject that inspired me, I didn't necessarily have to talk about how it inspired me but I just had to compile a 2000 word essay. So I chose to do a season review. Well here we are at the end of another season, although in the end we can feel...

    Champions League Reports

    Apologies, I've been rushed off my feet this week. Here's both games for you. Is it so inconceivable that Arsenal could end this strangest of seasons as Champions of Europe? Arsene Wenger described his side as 'super-outsiders' before the first leg of their clash with Villarreal, but even after...

    Question Your experiences of taking the other half to the football...

    I was talking to my boss today who failed to convince his wife to come with him and watch the Chelsea vs Liverpool CL match last night, as she thought it'd be a 'dull game'. But it reminded me of my own experiences when trying to convince the better half of what makes going to the football so...

    No More 4-4-2!

    Fabio Capello has much to ponder. Though certain sections of the UK press appear to have an unhealthy obsession with an ageing bit-part midfielder and his quest for caps, the real question mark hangs over the structure of the England team. Capello has said that he will be taking this evening's...

    Scannell thinks goal will get him more games

    Not if you aren't noticed for the 68 minutes before you score I'm afraid Damien. For me if he hadn't scored there would have been no arguement about dropping him. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/s/southend_utd/7958706.stm

    SZ Novella - Chapter Five

    Chapter Five - Red Sky At Night, Stokes' Delight Ricey sprinted down the back-alley, feet slipping and sliding on the wet concrete as he went. The sound of a gunshot echoed off the walls and he instinctively ducked, almost falling to the ground. Reaching the end of the passageway, he turned...

    Liverpool Must Prove Themselves

    It is time. Time to discover whether or not Liverpool have what it takes to be champions. Not champions of Europe, that staggered and seeded competition, winnable with just the right balance of Alamo-style defending and quick goals on the break. Champions of England. A far harder accolade to...

    Prove You're Not A Cheat

    As Cristiano Ronaldo lay on the frozen turf at St James Park watching a chorus line of tiny birds circling his head, I wonder if he had time to ponder the irony of his situation. After years spent convincing referees that he had been fouled when he hadn't, he now finds himself being cynically...

    7 Interesting facts from the Peterborough programme yesterday

    In no particular order 1. Roots Hall is the most dismal place to watch football in the division - just 30 goals in 15 matches. Apparently, Victoria Park in Hartlepool is the place to be with 65 in 17 matches. 2. Simon Francis has got in the most crosses in the whole division with 111.. I...

    Let The Spending Continue!

    If there is to be a dramatic collapse in the finances of the Premier League clubs, it may not happen for a few more years yet. The much-heralded drop-off in those all-important TV revenues have failed to materialise, which is welcome news for those clubs over-burdened with debt. The Times...

    Liver-fools

    The return of Robbie Keane to White Hart Lane may have brought an end to his miserable six months on Merseyside, but it leaves Liverpool fans with one pertinent question; just what on earth is going on behind the scenes at their football club? On the pitch, in their most important season for...

    My Take

    on matters at the club are as follows: RM is and always will be a developer. Developers are in business for the sole reason of making serious money on land opportunities - hence this is the only reason he purchased the club. Is this a bad thing? well not necessarily. I for one believe we...
