  1. Yorkshire Blue

    England ODI side

    Predicting the England test team has become all a little too easy these days, but the ODI line-up is more interesting. Not sure when the line-up for the ODIs is due to be named, but I'm going to stick my neck out and predict the following: 1. Cook* 2. Kieswetter + 3. Trott 4. Bell 5. Morgan 6...
  2. Yorkshire Blue

    West Indies v Pakistan

    Really interesting series this as they should be two evenly matched (ie flawed) sides, but both are teams who look as if they finally may be ready to start making some progress now the WIndies have dropped that waster Gayle and Pakistan have purged most of the match-fixers. I think Pakistan may...

    Voltage Cherry - HIT OR MISS?

    Despite not having had the best of starts in terms of the result - wondered what people think having now seen this shirt at first hand? Have you changed your mind and cant wait to order or is it still just too pink? Personally, I thought it looked good and will be even better with black...

    Masterchef 2011

    Now, I was a bit skeptical when they changed the format of it this year to be very similar to the Aussie version (which is pants, IMO), but I have to say, as the final hurdle comes close, that i've really enjoyed it. Maybe the best one with Torode and Wallace on it. So, who do you think is...

    RIP John Sullivan

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-13176198 The man responsible for, IMO the Greatest British TV show ever, Only Fools and Horses, has died aged 64. Rest In Peace.

  6. Playoffs

    So, the NBA playoffs get started this weekend. What are peoples thoughts? I personally can't wait and, although slightly biased, I think the tie to watch in the first round is New York vs Boston. Definately think that matchup has the best chance of a top 4 team going out in round 1, but the...

    Ronnie Moore sacked!

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/r/rotherham_utd/9432120.stm 6th in the table but 5 games without a win, ridiculous IMO!

  8. PS For Manager of the Month?

    With 4 wins,2 draws and crucially no defeats,amassing 14 glorious points out of a possible 18,surely Paul Sturrock will be League 2 Manager of the Month for February.An award IMO very well deserved.

    The failure to curb banks if a failure of Government itself

    http://gu.com/p/2n3eb Martin Kettle quite rightly (IMO)takes both the Coalition and the previous Labour Government to task for not doing more to regulate the banks.

  10. Charlie Adam submits transfer request

    Really surprised by this, perhaps he's worried he won't get a 'big' move at the end of the season, but this will really impact on Blackpools form I reckon. That's pretty poor by Adam IMO...

    Question Anthony Grant

    Where was anthony grant today. It didn't say that he was injured on the OS. And he wasn't even on the bench despite being our best player IMO. Has he been sold ?

    Is fiscal reponsibility the new political correctness on SZ?

    Once upon a time, most posters on SZ were fairly evenly split, between the pro or anti Ron brigades. The pro camp held sway for quite some time, however their position became pretty much untenable(IMO)with the unfolding of events in 2010 (if not before then). I have, however, recently...

  13. Pre-Match Thread Cheltenham Town v Southend United

    Thought i would start this off as couldn't see it anywhere else, although i doubt many will be making the trip. team sheet fairies tell me Coughlan and Prosser have been dropped. Barker back to centre back along with Mohsni and Herd to left back. About time he gave the lad a chance IMO.

    First month thoughts

    so we head into september with cautious optimism on the playing front. How has the first month been for you? where are our strengths and our weak points? for me we have the making of a well shaped/organised team full of grit and determination. IMO to be 'up there' we still need something a bit...

    Sheena and Morris

    How are our rejects settling in? I've had it on good authority that Morris was only released because we're too skint to give him a testimonial. So neck-and-neck to see who goes out of business first, as well as enjoying a point-for-point battle in our respective divisions. Joy. J_S

  18. all our ex players that think they're great

    i do wish them luck at their new clubs, that great that none of them were willing to pay for them, but imo they are not gonna be missed, they were/seamed to be deadwood, they just wasn't upfor it.

    Capello v Beckham

    It seems the press have their knives out for Capello over his apparent treatment of Beckham. While I am not a fan of Capello, but there's huge double standards here. I don't remember a similar furore when McClaren dropped Beckham after Germany 2006, in fact most of the press seemed to think that...

Even before the changes to background colours etc the site has a very professional feel to it and IMO is a lot more user friendly. Well...
