    In praise of ugly football

    You know what, I'd hate it if every team at the World Cup played Brazilian style football. The joy of a a tournament is the different styles and approaches to the game. Uruguay last night were a case in point, they are a part of the fabric of the sport. Also the performance that New Zealand put...

  2. South Africa v Mexico

    Right then, here we go, the start of the 2010 World Cup! I really hope South Africa can get something from this game. The whole nation is behind them and this game against Mexico, imo, is the best chance for them to get something in this group. Line Ups: South Africa: 16 Khune 02 Gaxa...

    The Greatest Show on Earth

    The ITV adverstising for the forthcoming World Cup is saying it's the greatest show on earth. As the World Cup only features 32 Nations I say not and IMO as a sporting spectacle it's the Olympics. So a simple poll World Cup, the Olympics or Tilly palying a round of golf at Belfairs?
  4. The General

    Good evening folks!

    Me and Em move in Monday and any advice is much appreciated. Especially any tips which we may not have thought of. I've spoken to all the main people today (gas, water, council, phone) and let them know whats going on! Trying to decide on phone/broadband packages and Sky is looking best IMO...

    Milner?! **** off!

    For the second year in a row, the PFA have managed to take a really simple concept and get it really wrong. Last year’s decision to make Ryan Giggs ‘Player of the Year’ instead of Steven Gerrard made as much sense as giving ‘Star Wars’ an Oscar instead of ‘The Hurt Locker’. Just because it was...

    Anzac Day

    Anzac Day was yesterday, a national day of reflection for the Australian and New Zealand troops killed in action over the years. The veterans march to dawn services, but so do schools and scout groups etc. Seeing young kids with their Grandparents or maybe even parents medals pinned to their...

    Down Down Deeper and Down

    Ok we are down..is this a new beginning or a total mismanagement of our football club..IMO we have been sent down the river for a pocket full of gold. I cannot remember when in my 40 odd years of supporting SUFC when I have felt so low....we have such a great fan base as this site shows..and we...

    Last night

    Got invited by my local professional football club to the pub last night. A small group of us from different groups of supporters. We were given beer, food and asked our 'honest' opinion. The club didn't get much right last season, finishing second bottom of the league and crowds are down. They...

    England Squad for T20 World Cup

    The England squad is confirmed here, it's good to see Ravi Bopara come back. However there's a couple of baffling selections IMO, that of Sideshow, who after coming home early from Bangladesh with an injury, I thought he would be put out to grass. And also that of Michael Yardy. With Trott...

    Johnstone's Paint Trophy

    Southampton thrashed Carlisle United 4-1 this afternoon. Was a good match in truth with ex shrimper Dan Harding IMO should have been awarded man of the match. As much as Southampton were good, Carlisle United were very poor gifting Southampton 3 of there 4 goals by major mistakes in defence...

    Phil Gridelet

    Now head of "Elite Soccer Academy", based in Middlesex. Two testimonials come from ex-Shrimpers. http://www.elitesocceracademy.eu/index.php

  13. light hearted potential good news-don't get excited!

    With Southampton losing last night the chances of them hitting the play offs is now (IMO) very remote ---16 points off sixth place, 11 games to go. So hopefully from their perspective our match will be meaningless , and Barnnard will spend all match deliberately missing sitters which results...

    EGM - Extraordinary General Meeting

    The post by Tinks may have got missed and buried in the battery of posts on the Brush dismissed thread. Therefore rather than demonstrating I think the time has come for shareholders at least to call an Extraordinary General Meeting of the club. IMO it's now high time that we were treated to...

    Have finally been placed into Administration today after a long (and boring) few months. As much as i dont like to see football clubs go down like this but do Portsmouth deserve it? When i club has so many owners in a short period of time and with promises being thrown around which the club just...

    Players who have been 'forced out' of the club who we wouldn't mind having right now

    I'll start with 'ONE KEVIN MAHER' - seems like ages ago we were discussing the first game at the new stadium being his testimonial - wonder what's happened to that. Oh and maybe BILLLLEEEEEE Paynter ?
