  1. ESB's Masters Preview

    The Masters at Augusta is one of the most eagerly anticipated sporting events, this year given more impetus by the not-so-surprising return of Tiger Woods. At the risk of overshadowing a landmark event in the golfing calendar, Woods has pledged to put his previous indiscretions behind him and...

  2. Chelsea Recieve Nul Points, Again

    Apparently, Carlo Ancelotti’s mother never warned him that if he pulled a funny face and the wind blew, it would stay that way. Ancelotti pulled the same expression of futile, emotionless pondering for 94 miserable minutes as Chelsea, yet again, faultered in Europe. Much had been made of...

    A Lesson to you all

    When I was 18 (younger and even more stupid then now) I use to drink on pier hill at Charlies Bar (Motels) mainly because I use to work at the Palace Hotel when I left school and I use to drink with some of the worst people in Southend, Druggys, ponce's and thieves the lot but during that time...

  4. Ref Watch .... Tranmere

    Man in charge of our vital match on Saturday is Steve Cook from Godalming in Surrey. Although this is his third season, at 24 he remains one of the youngest officials on the list. He has officiated at Roots Hall three times before, most recently the curtain raiser against Huddersfield when he...

    Who goes? YOU decide

    As I've posted in another thread, if either Tilson or Martin had to got TODAY, who would you prefer - considering all the implications that would go with their leaving would mean, I dont just mean they vanished off the face of the earth and everything would be rosey. TILSON: Legend at the club...

    Question Do you ever wonder if Ron Martin is just "using" Tilly ?

    So once again Tilly has had to sell his best player and trawl the bargain basement to find a replacement. Tilly is to be commended for his loyalty -only time will tell if he has pulled another rabbit out of the hat or snapped up another Revell, Betsy or Foran. But just say that Uncle Ron...

  8. Costly Clauses Mount Up For Pompey

    It must be difficult supporting Portsmouth. It wasn’t so long ago you were walking Wembley Way triumphantly. Of course, it wasn’t so long ago that Portsmouth main goal was surviving in the Premier League… Now, you’re flinging England’s number 1 around like a QPR caretaker manager because...

  9. 50 games which defined a decade - Part 1 (2000-2004)

    As we've had our last game of the decade, I had planned to do something about the top twenty matches of the ten years just gone but I found it very difficult to leave some matches out, plus in truth it's some of the defeats which have stuck with me the most. And rather than doing a countdown I...

  10. Football Managers Are For Three Years, Not Just Until Christmas

    It'll be a lean Christmas in the Hughes household this year. Well, not exactly, but Hughes will be without a job as of this evening. Rumours of his dismissal spread like wildfire before and during the game, Roberto Mancini's odds coming in as low as 1/6 and the board made the ominous...

    I Hate West Ham

    I hate reporting from Upton Park. I've had enough bad jobs in my life to know that I shouldn't whinge about this one, but I really can't stand the place. I'm no shrinking violet, I've done an away trip to Millwall, but that lot down Green Street are horrible. On Saturday, I heard one of them...

    Christmas joke - almost.

    Three men died on Christmas Eve and were met by Saint Peter at the pearly gates. 'In honour of this holy season' Saint Peter said, ‘You must each possess something that symbolizes Christmas to get into heaven.' The first man fumbled through his pockets and pulled out a lighter. He flicked it...

    Who from SUFC is switching on your Xmas lights?

    Like most places this weekend sees the big 'switch-on' for what is Hockley village's Christmas Light Spectacular! Only this year is different because we have not one but two SUFC player's taking charge of the deed (normally it is just Su from Essex or should that now be Heart FM but Hockley...

    Have I had some good fortune.

    OK, here's the scenario. I recently got caught for speeding on a Motorway in England, caught by the blue radar's on bridge's and then pulled over by the traffic cops. The police station posted the fine to me but it has the wrong number plate on it? What do I do? This is surely invalid...

I've spun that wheel so many times, and seen people lose so much money, that I really didnt think it could be done The fact that he didn't manage to...
