    Summer Madness

    Was football just waiting for me to go on holiday before it got interesting? I left for the sun-bleached Spanish countryside on the morning after the Confederations Cup Final and, no sooner had my budget airliner wobbled onto Alicante's dusty runway than the transfer market exploded. Every trip...

    4 June 1989, Tiananmen Square, China

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/player/nol/newsid_6570000/newsid_6571700/6571755.stm?bw=bb&mp=wm&news=1&nol_storyid=6571755&bbcws=1 Nobody knows precisely how many people died or were injured, because even now the Chinese government refuses to allow open dialogue about the events, let alone anything...

    Football Manager research - Phase 1 ratings

    For those FM fans interested, here are the ratings I have sent off for Phase 1 of the research process for FM 2010. CA = Current Ability (out of 200); e.g. Cristiano Ronaldo has a CA of 191. PA = Potential Ability (out of 200); in younger players, negatives used, where -10 = amazing potential...

    Gerrard Is The Write Stuff

    Steven Gerrard is the Football Writer's Player of the Year. That's better. You see, if you want something done properly, ask a journalist. Admittedly, that saying only holds water if what you want is to have someone drink all the beer in your fridge, or spell something incorrectly, but for once...

    Not So Fab, Lukasz

    Arsenal 1-2 Chelsea Walcott, 18 Malouda, 33 Drogba, 84 The vultures arrived at Wembley expecting to pick the flesh from Petr Cech's reputation, but it was birthday boy Lukasz Fabianski who offered up his own carcass, blundering in the late stages and costing his side a place in the FA Cup...

    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...

    Windows Updates

    Is anybody else suffering from Windows Updates issues on XP? The past couple of weeks each time I've switched off the laptop it has defaulted to the Turn Off & Install Updates option but nothing ever seems to happen. I've had a check and it seems as if there are 3 updates that refuse to...

    University Fees

    Sounds like the Uni's want the fees raised to £5000 from £3000 according to this mornings news. On 5Live they discussed the difference between England and Scotland, surely I didnt hear this properly. Scottish uni's are free if you have lived in the country for more than 3 years, OR if you are...

    Chelsea Need To Look In The Mirror

    Mike Riley may have cost them the game, but it is Chelsea's under-performing superstars who have cost themselves the title. Even before the ludicrous dismissal of Frank Lampard, the Blues had barely threatened Liverpool's goal and some of their players need to ask themselves some serious...

    Freedman - an answer to our creative midfield problem?

    I've still not properly witnessed a fully fit Dougie playing, but the couple of times I have seen him he looks like he can deliver a quality pass and find some space. Given that he is going to struggle getting up to speed as he gets older and that we have strikersleft who'd prefer the ball...

    Change of formation

    Why don't we try a 4-3-3 (i know all our strikers are sicknotes): ------------------------Joyce-------------------- Francis-------New CB-------Barrett------New LB ---------------Moussa--------JFC---------------- -----------------------Macca---------------------...
  14. screwed up by the loan system ... .... .... ..

    i remember the demand on this board for Tilson to get some decent players in and to use the loan system (which I hate) to our advanatge..... and hes done well in attracting some quality young players .... who then have to learn how to play in real games against experienced pros with a lot at...

    Defending and Midfielding!!

    This isn't really a new point, but as it's topical based on today, thought I'd bring it up again - if nothing else, it gets me nearer to 1,000 posts on here :) Yorkshire Blue and myself (actually, probably most people) have long been saying the problem we have yet to properly resolve with our...

    Our Official website is embarrassing

    More terrible grammar Quote from the OS "And that will see ex-Charlton defender Osei Sankofa introduced into the back four for the first time in League One this season. He confirmed: "Osei will be getting an opportunity this Saturday and properly for the next three games."
  20. Encouraging

    Fantastic result on Friday and what really encourages me is that I don't believe this side is anywhere near top gear yet. Once everyone has properly gelled we should be able to give it a real go this season. Was strongly considering going to Yeovil next weekend but I'm now off to Barcelona with...
