Others i recall were Newport and Rushden where we were 2-0 behind and won 4-2, Sheffield United and Wigan where we turned a 0-2 scoreline into a 3-2 win and an LDV-type game versus Cambridge where we...

    City Must Be Patient

    There's no doubt about the identity of this weekend's biggest fixture, is there? It is, as we have said many times already this campaign, 'a big weekend for Rafa Benitez'. Mind you, it's an even bigger one for Mark Hughes. After splashing more money than Victoria Beckham and Coleen Rooney...

  7. Ref Watch ... Franchise Friday

    The man in charge is Darren Deadman who comes from Chatteris, Cambridgeshire, and is a civil servant in Peterborough. In his fifth season as a League referee he is just one feisty match away from 500 yellow cards. He is on 494 - will he go for it tomorrow night ? His red card count is above...

    Fed up with the excuses?

    Is anyone else out there fed up with the excuses which keep coming in from the management and the players after each defeat? I understand that we didn't have a full strength side in the Cup against Gillingham but that was largely due to off the pitch circumstances which have prevented us from...

    Well my pedigree chums. I have had a very nostalgic day indeed. I have been thinking about the club the memories its given me both good and bad and the sheer timescale effort and sacrifice that comes with it. It all started for me with southend needing a win at home to luton town with...

  11. Ref Watch Hull

    Tonight's referee is Neil Swarbrick from Preston. An experienced official who has made good progress over his four years on the National List and he is one of a few League referees who would be trusted to referee a match involving a Premiership club. Don't expect any favours as in this situation...

    Ta-raa Ronaldo!

    Beep beep! Come on Ronaldo, I'll drive you to the airport myself. It's long past time you left. I've had enough of the diving, the whining, the cheating, the feigning, the petulant tantrums and the rolling around on the ground and, you know what? I doubt I'm the only one. On behalf of my fellow...

    Worst date ever?

    Come on then ladies and gentlemen. We have all had some pretty terrible dates - so give us your horror stories. Mine dates back to 2006 time. I was doing a mortgage for a SZ poster who I wont name for fear of dating the data protection act or something similar. We met up at London Bridge where...

    Players the fans would like for next year

    I know all depends on who we can offload and what funds Ron makes available but in a world where we had a sensible amount of funds who would you like Tilly to be looking at for next year. I'll kick it off with a bit of dreaming: Dervite and Sawyer on year long loans - possible but unlikely. Leon...

    Just a thought...

    Just a thought, with Charlton doomed and Southampton and Norwich looking iffy what's to say that they're not going to come down and swoop on some of our players? Would never want to be a prophet of doom for next season but with these down there in the mix 09/10 season could be an almighty...

  20. Ref Watch ... Brighton away

    Rob Styles' excellent performance is going to be a hard act to follow. Especially as the man in charge is Darren Deadman who comes from Chatteris, Cambridgeshire, and is a civil servant in Peterborough. In his fourth season as a League referee he is already way past the 400 yellow card mark and...
