  1. How Do You Solve A Problem Like KP?

    All summer it's been obvious something hasn't been right with Kevin Pietersen. In so much pain he couldn't walk down the stairs throughout the Twenty20 World Cup and pumped so full of cortisone he'd be oblivious to a gunshot wound during the first two tests, the news that Pietersen requires...

    Hadleigh Olympic events - whinging old gits not consulted.

    Grey army outrage over Hadleigh Olympic events. Is it me or is Hadleigh rapidly overtaking Florida as the retirement venue of choice?
  3. King Flintoff Ends Aussie Reign

    Australia's 75 year reign at Lords came tumbling down with a whimper, as King Flintoff gave England victory on the back of his first five wicket haul at the ground. Nothing could suppress the nerves at the Home of Cricket this morning, a terrific stand of 185 between Michael Clarke and Brad...

    Isn't it a little disappointing?

    I know there's still six weeks or so until the start of the season, but isn't it a little disappointing that there is only one thread on the front page of the Chit-Chat forum relating to a possible new player (Lee Sawyer)? At this stage of the off-season shouldn't we have a few possibilities and...

    The Duckworth Lewis Method

    A new 'band' featuring the genius of Neil Hannon from The Divine Comedy, check out the lyrics on Jiggery Pokery, pure genius - 'Twas the first test of the Ashes series 1993. Australia had only managed 289 and we.... felt all was going to plan that first innings at Old Trafford, then Merv Hughes...
  6. Unfair Dismissal

    Is this unfair dismissal? A couple of years ago I was sacked from Southend Hospital for working outside my capabilities. Since then I have worked as a carer in the community with various companies and residential homes. As nursing is a professsional body (NMC) you do not need to be in the...

    Webb Rescues Brazil

    Brazil 4-3 Egypt Kaka 5, 90 Zidan 8, 58 Fabiano 12 Shawkey 57 Juan 37 Now this is much more like it. After an insipid first day offered up only an uncomfortable mismatch and a desperately dull bore-draw, day two of the Confederations Cup finally delivered some excitement. Brazil were stifled...

    Karen Brady, I quote...

    "I'm a successful businesswoman and nobody's ever called me a bitch" No Karen, but then 7,500 people have all, in synchronicity, called you a whore. Pretty much once a year, every year since 1994.

    Newcastle's Loss at Spurs Today

    By their 1-0 loss at Spurs today, I think that the writing really has to be on the wall for Newcastle's relegation now. What a shambolic season they have had and now the realisation they are probably not going to stay up is almost upon them as the Shearer (last throw of the dice to find Geordie...

    Where did it all go wrong?

    Nobody could disagree that Southend's 2008-09 season went wrong over the Christmas season when the Blues only won 4 games out of 19 from November to January. However after that bad spell the Blues form improved and there was a serious possibility that with a bit of luck and some good form that...

    Scousers leave it late.

    Benayoun scores in the second minute of added time. Craig Burley must be the worst summariser I have ever had the misfortune to hear. Such gems as "I don't know why this game is 0-0" I do nobody has scored you ****.

    Brave Arsenal Squeeze Through

    Roma 1-0 Arsenal (6-7 on pens) (Juan, 9) We've always known that Arsenal's kids are talented. Now we know that they're brave as well. After an energy-sapping 120 minutes in the Stadio Olimpico, 111 of them played without their single goal safety net, they picked themselves up off the floor and...

    Diouf In Stab Threat To Anti-Knife Campaigner Ferdinand

    According to The Sun ..... EL-HADJI DIOUF threatened to stab Anton Ferdinand in a vicious fight. The bust-up took place at a post-match meal after Sunderland’s 1-0 midweek win against Fulham. A senior player said: “It was worse than anything I have ever seen and when they were pulled...

    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...

    Tilly on BBC Essex this morning

    Surprised that nobody has mentioned this yet, but Tilly on BBC Essex this morning saying that the loan market hasn't been ideal this year, and that the top 6 is possibly too far to reach this season. A season of consolidation in league one. Reading between the lines this was Tilly saying that...
  18. 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...
