  1. Ref Watch ..... The Paint Thing

    The referee for tomorrow night's early kick off at the rather nicely appointed stadium of the rather nastily created MK Dons, is Oliver Langford from Darlaston, near Walsall in the West Midlands. In just his second season as a Football League referee, he has only refereed Southend once before...

    Teaching Assistant cuts

    Absolute joke - without TAs in the classrooms these days schools would fall apart. I spent the whole of Thursday dealing with behavioural issues which no teacher would have had time to deal with. They can't have it both ways, they either want inclusivity or they don't - and if they want cut...

    Post-Match Thread and Ratings The reserve game today

    After making the near 60 mile round trip, down the wet and windy, extremely hazardous A127, I thought I might as well post my thoughts on the game. I thought it came across quite strongly which of the two teams had half a team of first teamers out there, although unfortunately for us it was...

    2009 season

    Another exciting season of NFL is just around the corner. Who are people's picks this year? I was listening to a podcast last night featuring a chap who has done mathematical analysis on all the teams (admittedly with a focus on fantasy football) and he had the Chargers down as strongly as the...

    Breaking News Youngster Ngoo on trial at Man Ure!

    Scored for them too! Pay up you dirty Mancs... Report Could be the next one to bypass the 1st team and head for better things... 16 years old and 6' 4", we could do with him in defence, even though he's a striker! Well done to Duncan and Co. for producing players, that are being...

    Return Of The Old Guard

    How very retro. There was a time when any game between Arsenal and Manchester United was epoch-shaking. They were the two giants of the domestic game, battling out their own private war while the likes of Chelsea, Liverpool and, this'll make you laugh, Newcastle could only look on from the...

    A Recovery Nightmare

    It all started normally. Flat battery in South Woodham Ferrers, clutch gone on an VW Camper in Westcliff another flat battery at Southend Hospital. All run of the mill stuff. Then I got a call for an Ford Scorpio in Pitsea with a wheel bearing gone and needing recovery to Great Yarmouth. That'll...

    EPL Has Nothing To Fear From Below

    If you think it's tense at the top of the Premier League, you should see The Championship at this stage of the season. With a collection of runners and riders who all seem incapable of stringing consecutive wins together, it's the division that no-one wants to win. Wolverhampton Wanderers have...

    New look SZ..

    With regard to all the posts sitting above the last one and having to click on them to read instead of scrolling... I hate it. Looks like every other footy forum and much prefered the old system where all posts were nicely on display and easy on the eye. I hate it so much, i am considering...

    Question Alex Revell

    Does anybody know (or has heard) how Alex Revell is doing following his operation? Hopefully the op was a success and he is progressing nicely. Can't wait to see him back in action again next season all being well.

    Boring Boro Fall To Chelsea

    The Chelsea rehabilitation continues, but the road to recovery is never easy. This, the fourth consecutive win since their violation at the hands of Manchester United, takes them to second place in the table, but they were certainly made to work for it by a Middlesbrough side who were...

    Circles

    For the love of god please can we stop all of this constant circular tirade of hate! 1) Ron ain't gonna sit by and watch his investment go down, unless he's getting some sort of sexual kick out of spunking money up the wall I think if Tilly goes to him and says I like this spritely young lad...

    Question Transfer Window: Where to strengthen?

    After yesterdays game, what positions do you realistically want signings for? Looking at the squad, I don't rate Joyce, but he can stay back-up and I'll hope Mildy keeps fit. Sankofa has finally given Francis something to think about, and it could be a while before Simon gets back into the...

    Call Sam!

    It must be hard being Sam Allardyce. Whenever I imagine him, I see him in a big country house in the north of England, in a well-furnished front room where the only noise is the metronomic ticking of a towering grandfather clock in the corner. He sits alone in his armchair, surrounded by...

    Over Zealous Parking Attendant

    Had a day off today to do some Xmas shopping. Packed Mrs LF in to the car and drove the very short distance to town. Parked up nicely, put her blue badges up and tottered off to buy a few bits. Came back an hour later and there was a one of those nice yellow presents that Parking Attendant's...

    Happy Birthday Fabio!

    Happy Birthday Fabio! It's now exactly a year since Mladen Petric rifled in Croatia's third goal at a rain-soaked Wembley, mercifully bringing an end to the Steve McClaren era. A year since Fabio Capello wondered if he might be able to do a better job. The Italian manager told reporters last...

    Gunners Fire Blanks

    How Arsenal could have done with a win here. With two disastrous results behind them and a foreboding clash with Manchester United waiting on Saturday, this was a perfect opportunity to boost morale, on and off the pitch, but it wasn't to be. Fenerbahce, much improved from their humiliating...
  19. Carlisle

    Someone mentioned at start of season that one of the teams who make the play-offs often goes down the following season. Carlisle are currently shaping up nicely for this with only 1 point from 7 games since they beat us on 6th September when they were 2nd in the table. Apparently their defence...

    Question How long can we stretch our unbeaten run?

    Well Mr Kettle put paid to my 5 on the bounce prediction -(at least he saved me from wishing I'd put my money where my mouse was) and Harding's absence leaves an already suspect defence with another hole . But Doooooooooogie could be back and we have another team short on confidence as...
