    Mad Dog Allen

    Without doubt he was man of the match and worth the admission money alone. What a plonker. If he carries on like that on the touchline for much longer he'll end up having a coronary. Seriously, how can his players express themselves and play without fear when he's screaming, shouting, kicking...

    Champions League Reports

    Apologies, I've been rushed off my feet this week. Here's both games for you. Is it so inconceivable that Arsenal could end this strangest of seasons as Champions of Europe? Arsene Wenger described his side as 'super-outsiders' before the first leg of their clash with Villarreal, but even after...

    Next Season

    I got bored so i look at all the possible trips that we could face next year and how much each different outcome could be because it's always nice to be prepared. Might take a bit. Going Down: Charlton - 39.3miles Southampton 133miles Norwich - 98.9miles Barnsley - 209miles Blackpool - 271miles...

    Super-Outsiders? Not A Chance.

    Villarreal 1-1 Arsenal Senna, 10 Adebayor, 66 If it is true that whatever fails to kill you makes you stronger, then soon Arsenal will be invincible. After the painful grind of a season ruined by injuries and internal dispute, the Gunners are growing as a team, and as men. To come back from...

    Crazy Rooney Needed Telling

    Thank goodness that someone has finally said it. Fabio Capello's denunciation of Wayne Rooney as, "a crazy man," might be the best thing that has ever happened to him. A humiliating public dressing down for the lack of discipline that still prevents him from being a truly 'world class' player...

    New Al Murray sketch show

    I must admit I was prepared for this to be completely unwatchable, despite loving The Pub Landlord. However it's actually OK. Not cutting edge comedy and certainly not a classic but worth half hour of your time. What does everyone else think?
  8. Breaking News Ron's blog 24/02/09

    Whilst the rest of us were watching the match, Ron was emailing us his latest thoughts: I want to begin this week by thanking all our supporters who were able to attend the match at Colchester this weekend. The 1800 or so who made the journey across Essex showed, once again, what passion is...
  9. Zone Update Ron's Blog-17-02-09

    Chairman's Blog This week’s topic – Youth Development – is one of my favourites. This is probably in recognition that the Club’s advancement must be from organic growth. Over the last couple of weeks I have talked about player purchase and the increased structure that we have, and are...

    Scolari's Not To Blame

    Luis Felipe Scolari may have paid the price for Chelsea's bleak midwinter, but who was really to blame for the club's decline in form? The Brazilian boss may have made mistakes in his short reign at Stamford Bridge, but he was never given the tools he needed to rebuild an ageing squad. It was...

    The Foran issue - my take.

    Firstly, I don't know what he has done in the past and frankly I don't care. It's nothing to do with me. But whatever it is, we have to bear in mind that the people paying his wages for whatever reason are happy to not include him in the matchday plans. That was clear from day 1 of this...
  15. My Housemate's a Moron, Appropriate Banter Needed

    I'm living in a house down here in Eastbourne with 4 other lads, all students, and as you may expect, the banter tends to fly around. All legit banter, nothing too serious or personal, nothing physical either. One of my Housemates is a bit of a bargain hunter, addicted to those money saving...

    Tilly's Interview said it all.....

    ..... He wants to bring players in, and the chairman is not backing him. Tilly came as close as he could do tonight to saying that the chairman has not been forthcoming with the money to bring players in, and it was a desperate plea for him to lossen the purse strings. Another 3 injuries, and...
