    inconsistency

    29 bloody years, 29 bloody years ive supported our beloved team and in every year of those 29 we have been so inconsistent. What i mean is we always seem to raise our game in either games that we are not expected to do well in or the BIG games. This season for example, we have taken 4 points...

    "One Team in Essex" the proof

    I'm glad that Colchester had the experience of a half decent crowd, for a long, long, time. Indeed the 8,651 attendance must be the biggest gate since before all those children, to our right yesterday, were born.

    Huddersfield splashing the cash

    Huddersfield have just signed Lionel Ainsworth and Anthony Pilkington for undisclosed fees, but will probably total over £1m. Pilkington was rumoured to be on his way to Preston for £600,000 or so and Ainsworth was also attracting Championship interest. They must have really flung the cash at...
