    Colchester to ground share Roots Hall ? Fiction or Friction ?

    Incredible story - do we want these inbred's contaminating our place ? Colchester to play at Ipswich or Southend Colchester United will need to play most of their home matches at either Ipswich Town's Portman Road or Southend United's Roots Hall grounds for most of this season. The...
  2. And then there was one....

    With the departure of Gary Hooper, only Peter Clarke remains from the starting XI who beat Manchester United just 21 months ago (although Simon Francis came on as sub that night). That's an incredible turnover of players, particularly considering Tilly's lack of contacts in the game.
  3. RANT CORNER: Paying out pounds for things that arent your fault!

    Itchy bum?

    Just driving back from Asda, after purchasing a french stick, I had a incredible itchy bum. There was no warning whatsoever, just an overiding feeling to yank my shorts down and scratch for england but I could not pullover just anywhere as I was in traffic. The severity of the itch nearly forced...

    Ronaldinho

    It still remember it vividly. I was at a friend's house on a Saturday night in 2005 and we were having a glass of wine before hitting the town. Being of Spanish descent, she had the Real Madrid - Barcelona game on the television. We had no plans to watch the whole match, we were supposed to...

    Clocks of Heaven (Very Bad)

    A man died and went to heaven. As he stood in front of St. Peter at the Pearly Gates, he saw a huge wall of clocks behind him. He asked, "What are all those clocks?" St. Peter answered, "Those are Lie-Clocks. Everyone on earth has a Lie-Clock. Every time you lie, the hands on your clock will...

    Glasgow Rangers reach the final of the UEFA Cup

    Glasgow Rangers reached the final of the UEFA Cup by defending doggedly against superior opposition and then snatching chances on the break, but last night at The City of Manchester Stadium, those tactics finally blew up in Walter Smith's face. For 72 minutes, Zenit St Petersburg bounced off the...
  8. What to watch this weekend

  9. Ref watch ..... Luton

    On Saturday Rob Lewis, from Shrewsbury, makes his first visit to Roots Hall as a referee. Last season was his first full year on the League list and he was awarded a number of Championship matches including our 3-0 defeat at Derby. For some reason, presumably injury as per our previous ref, he...

    Cheltenham Thoughts

    Although it was encouraging to see Alan Wright play for them, thereby making our centre-backs and goalkeeper look enormous, it couldn't hide the fact that our defensive frailties again cost us two points tonight. Cheltenham were inept going forward and the only time we ever looked in trouble was...

    Slipperduke's Glamorous Assignment

    Liverpool’s senior side may not be performing as well as we all suspect they could, but Reds supporters can rest easy in the knowledge that the next generation are doing just fine. Liverpool’s reserve side dished out an emphatic 2-0 beating to Manchester United’s second string on Wednesday...

    Gallas Is A Girl

    Arsenal’s season has been thrown into jeopardy by the loss of Eduardo to a horrific injury, but that may be only the start of their problems. The loss of William Gallas to a disturbing and hysterical breakdown may be even more costly. Eduardo, as good as he was, was just a player. Gallas is...

    Dr Ramos' Football Surgery

    For Tottenham Hotspur, the last four months have been like one of those celebrity makeover programmes on the television. Tottenham trudged into Dr Ramos’ Football Surgery back in October looking overweight, haggard and drawn. Now, after weeks of detailed appraisal and then a flurry of cutting...
  14. Lessons we can learn from other teams

    On saturday i thought i should check out Sheffield United as they are only a few mins away... tickets were a tenner and my mate who is a big QPR fan was coming up for it too. I really enjoyed the match, and it made me a bit sad we weren't still up there mixing it with those kinds of clubs...

  16. Tilson Out !!

    Glad to see a decent manager at the Hall - nothing like a close up on BOOT-it Boothroyd to show us how football should be played - BOOT-it and win the throw in and then scrap for the corner - class tactics from the man who shook the Prem-****e. And seriously when is Tilson going to learn how...

    Bennett to keep on top of diving!

    Incredible comments from Robo-Ref on the BBC site ahead of the FA Cup final: Bennett said: "There are some very clever players who instigate contact and make it difficult for the referee. "Sometimes there's contact but an exaggerated reaction to try to deceive the referee. It's nigh-on...
