    Question Last Minute Goals ... Most Important ??

    We seem to have developed this knack of last minute goals, which proves to me the spirit and desire in the camp is still spot on, contrary to what some people will have us believe. All these goals have meant something (obviously) but what has been your favourite, and what do you feel has been...

  2. Disappointing stewarding at Roots Hall last night

    A small matter, but one I thought I should bring to the attention of SZ. I was right at the front in the East Stand, near the corner flag that splits us from the south. When Chelsea scored their second, one man jumped up from his seat and yelled "YES!". This Chelsea fan was clearly on his own...

    Wilkins Worried By Wobbles

    After a hard night at Roots Hall, Luis Felipe Scolari was in no mood to face the media. Perhaps he was locked in the dressing room with a blackboard, some chalk and a squad still struggling to understand the concept of zonal marking. Whatever the reason, it was Ray Wilkins who squeezed into the...

    Question Body Language and Confidence

    Having uploaded some of my photos on FB and then also shared on here, a friend of mind has made some interesting comments on the below photo: First of all, she noticed the chap nearest the bottom of the photo on the pitch with a hockey stick ;) Wrong day, wrong game... But secondly she said...

    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...

    Our little trip to Chelsea

    I awoke at 4am in need of a wee and stumbled out of bed. One empty bladder later I attempted to get back to the land of nod, no chance. So I surfaced, got dressed and tip toed into the kitchen for a cuppa. Got bored with the telly so tormented the cat for a while by making out I was going to let...

    Look at it this way

    Before i start i should say that those in the Chat Room will have seen me state that it was close to ask Tilly to leave but i take it back. Just think of were we would be without Tilly and Brushy. If they hadn't been appointed as manager and assistant manager then i'd be pretty sure that we...

    BW Hartlepool Highlights

    On the match thread I got my first laugh of the evening when the commentator on BW stated that we needed at least four points from Northampton and MKD's. My second, rather belated, (incredulous) laugh, came from watching us concede our first goal on Friday night. To lose possession in your...

    The Never Everton Story

    And so ends a miserable weekend for the more prosperous end of the Premier League. Wigan's narrow victory over a lacklustre Everton at the JJB Stadium meant that, along with every member of the big four failing to score, every team in the top ten failed to win. The victory drags Steve Bruce's...

    Question Interactive Novel Writing

    Ok, bit of a weird one this. I have here the first 1,500 words of a story, battered out in an afternoon to no distinct end or conclusion. It's a first draft, it hasn't been polished or checked and, critically, it doesn't have a direction. I was thinking of a British version of Lost/Journey To...

    Why Aren't They Keen On Keane?

    Rumours travel fast in the North-East of England. Nobody is entirely sure what happened or where it started, but Wearside was abuzz last Friday with the 'news' that Roy Keane had walked out on Sunderland. Everyone knew about it, apparently. Some said that he'd not turned up for training. Others...

    One to watch.

    Whilst a tad bored the other day I had a browse through the movies available on BT Vision and came across Cashback. A Brit flik I hadn't previously heard of but thought I'd give a go, and I'm so glad I did. It's funny as hell in parts, exceptionally well acted, has a unique storyline and copious...

    With the big game tomorrow lets look back at some of our previous matches with the scum. There has been some great gamse against them recently and also some not so good games but still my greatest memories come from the games in the 80's when we played them 2 or 3 times a season and it was pure...

    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...

    Bit of a dilemma
