    Tour de France

    Anyone else go see them whizz by today. I went down to Maidstone. Wish i hadn't have bothered though. Was crowded and couldn't see the riders properly. Much better watching it on the telly. Was good being there though and soaking up the atmosphere. Didn't they try to get the tour to start...

    Memory Cards

    A quick question about memory cards. I had an issue with my camera last year where the USB cable wouldn't connect properly so I bought a universal card reader. This serves me well but the guy at Jessops said the other day that my memory card has a load of corrupted files on it. I've had a look...

    Meg from The White Stripes

    I saw this magazine cover at lunchtime and it got me thinking back to a regular drinking conversation. Is Meg from The White Stripes worth one or is she a bit of a biffer? Personally I think she can look OK and there's just something about her that says you know you wouldn't be able to walk...

    Wembley Food - An Explanation

    From tonight's London Evening Standard: Wembley chiefs are backing their chefs to win over the public in the row about food pricing at the new stadium. Many fans were stunned at being charged £4.50 for a pie, £3.90 for a hotdog and £8 for a burger meal as test events ahead of this months FA Cup...
  6. The jontosh2001 DEFENCE analysis!

    DEFENCE The good (or bad) thing about football and being a football fan is that statistics tend not to lie. Often you hear people saying that the stats "don't tell the full story", or "we are better than our position in the league shows", but this is often only justified in the very short...

    Worth checking out?

    Jon Main, of Tonbridge - his agent, Mikkel Beck, formerly of Middlesborough, is touting him to Championship sides, and he has been on trial with Wolves and Norwich. He is on 30-odd goals for the season with about 7 games left. This, from my local rag... The future of Tonbridge Angels hot-shot...

    A very funny story!

    This is tale I heard from a few years back from a work colleague who used to be an Ambulance driver in kent, it still makes me laugh to this day. I will set the seen as he told me! He was called out to an emergency where a Kneighbour had heard cries of help coming from the garages next door to...

    Five go mad in Sunderland. Or have a few beers anyway...

    Here's a review of Saturday in Sunderland, courtesy of Statski.... I think when the fixtures came out at the start of the season the away day trip to Sunderland ranked high upon peoples away games to do. One hell of a way to go for 90 minutes of football but seeing The Shrimpers playing in a...

    Southend United - How far have we come? Part 4

    “It was only four years ago that this club was losing £2.3m a season,” Ron Martin enthused as he published the accounts for the financial year ending July 2002 which showed that Southend United has lost “just” £707,665, the fourth year in succession that the club had reduced its losses. It was a...
  11. Message to Mark Gower

    If you are going to take a player out and get sent off do it properly, he is not meant to be able to bounce straight back up , he should be looking for his broken leg somewhere behind the Barside. If you don't know how to do it, go see a man in Upminster called Dave Martin, I think he runs...
  12. Maher

    Whatever Duguid did (or didn't do) Maher put himself in that position by squaring up to Duguid off the ball.Totally unproffesional At least the other lad sent off went for taking him out properly.Which is what Maher should have done. And re cheating the McCormack dive to for a penalty in...
  13. Sad Truth Is............

    ..............IMHO apart from Eastwood and Sodje, none of the current squad are of Championship quality. God help us when the transfer window opens again, as I think that if Eastwood's agent is doing his job properly Freddy will be on his way rather than let his earning potential drop from...

    S*it Story....

    If this was me, I think I'd be quite proud. Alas, it's taken from another messageboard: No personal experience of this since about the age of three...sorrryyy but I did see this story online.... Funniest damn thing that has ever happened to me. A couple of weeks ago we decided to...
  15. Is it down to discipline?

    Ok, so we all know we are now in a much tougher league. But are we really as bad as our results suggest? Do we genuinely believe that the teams we are playing now are generally all good enough to score at least 3 goals against us? Or is there something else fundamentally wrong? Tilly and Brush...

    Inventions

    I really wish I had discovered Bath Robe's earlier in life. For years I messed about using a couple of towels that kept falling down, never drying me properly and generally were a waste of time. Then I went on a work trip about 3 years ago and discovered the sheer joy of a bath robe. Since...

    When Big Ron manager went Iffy

    The programme was on Sky Two and was a behind the scenes view of Swindon Town when managed by Iffy Onuora. Ron Atkinson was installed there by the Swindon chairman to be a football advisor! BIG MISTAKE! Well talk about an interfering busy-body that is Big Ron! He's even more an...
  19. Positives and Negatives

    On the whole I don't think people need go overboard with negativity. We played an extremely competent side who in truth are the only team to have outplayed us so far and when you're adjusting to life in a new division (and in particular the Championship where the step-up is huge) that doesn't...

    No FC Games this week....

    Boo! First Class Games Postponed It's with great disappointment that we have to resort to this but unfortunately Allan has felt compelled to cancel today's FC Games. Although many games were proceeding correctly, others failed to start and Allan has been unable to find the cause...
