    Tales Of The Ales

    With thanks to Pubey for starting 'The Beer Thread' ... this is a variant on this particular theme. Some of you may have hopped onto the 'On The Road Again' thread from time-to-time (in the 'Away Travel' forum). I would ideally have liked other good SZ folk to have contributed there and have...

    Poor quality Christmas Lights

    Right that's IT!!! After buying 3 sets of Xmas lights for outside last year and taking them all back to Tesco as they didn't even survive being put up (that's quite a HIGH quality Made in China product, not!!!) I thought this year I would both be prepared by buying a set now while there are...

    Question How far would you go to save the club?

    In light of the current plight of the club I was wondering which if the following you would be prepared to do to save the Blues if it came down to it. This was meant to be multiplechoice but I muffed it up so vote for the one thats most applicable to you.
  10. Question Idea for SZ

    This has been done on a few football forums so I thought I'd suggest it here. It is like a prediction league but with a twist. You start with some money (calm down its NOT real money) and you can bet on the games with this money. Each week odds will come up (Home win, draw and Away win) and you...

    Just suppose...

    Tilly believed Heath and White were going to stay. When they joined, Col U had a different manager. They've done well for us and have now been recalled, leaving us just one weekend prior to the window closing. Left back is the real problem position and Tilly is in talks with an out of favour...

    Trouble in Toon

    Believe it or not, a lot of Newcastle United fans were philosophical about their relegation at the end of last season. They recognised that you cannot run a football club as appallingly as Freddie Shepherd and Mike Ashley had without inviting serious consequences into your frontroom for dinner...
