    Phil Brown - Master of the understatement

    In PB's weekly column in the Echo today he is quite rightly saying that today's football boot offers no protection to the foot at all which is why so many players get foot injuries. He is considering designing his own boot and it's something he has mentioned to the Chairman 'because he knows...

    Breaking News Under 21's manager Dave Robertson quits to go to Sligo Rovers

    667285032160002048 May have been offered a better job elsewhere or just decided he wants a crack at being a club manager after his taste at Peterborough? Or a falling out after Brown criticised their performance in the Essex Senior Cup? Who knows but this under 21s team is having a very rough...

  3. This weekends Fixtures.

    This weekends fixture list looks very interesting... i think it's what Jeff Stelling would call an "Accumulator Buster" Coventry (2nd) v Gillingham (1st) & Bury (6th) V Burton (4th) & Walsall (3rd) V Sheff Utd (8th) & Scunthorpe (12th) V Bradford (7th) The league is still quite closely knit...

  4. Little things you do to annoy your better half

    My son has a toothbrush with a suction cup on the bottom so you can stick it standing up on the side/cupboard. However I like to stick it on the wall, door or the mirror just to annoy her. I also like to throw things at her (not in a nasty way) and shout 'catch it!'. To get her own back, she...

    The EFL

    So The Football League is being re-branded as the English Football League (EFL). Don't like it myself; sounds a bit too much like the EDL. And The Football League had worked ok as a name for quite a while I thought.... 664827510484529156

  6. Just a heartfelt and massive thank you

    I'm a Hull City fan living close to Scunthorpe, an ex steelworker of getting on for 40 years; I just got back from my local where my Scunny supporting friends have told me that the travelling fans of Southend had a whipround on their coaches for the steelworkers fighting fund. As a football fan...

  8. Best tribute act

    I've seen a few in my time from an awful Jam one - they couldn't play the fiddly guitar solos that Weller bangs out - to a quite amazing one (Rumours of Fleetwood Mac, and if you closed your eyes it was like being in the room with Stevie Nicks, Lindsey Buckingham & Co)...not to mention the...

  9. Pig in a Bandage

    At B & L today both Pig and White doing running and stretching exercises with fitness staff. Pig had his right thigh heavily strapped and seemed to be taking it quite carefully. White seemed much more mobile.

    It seems that due to circumstances outwith my control, and without any prior consultation, I have been made a Grandfather. Hmmm.... Oh well, on the plus side she is quite cute, and we have another Scottish Shrimper to add to the Exiles. On the down side, she looks like Kim. No, not my daughter...

    Best place to buy fireworks of dubious legality

    I have been invited to a BYO firework display which is quite clearly going to turn into a p1ssing contest between the adult males. Can anyone recommend an establishment that sells fireworks of almost unimaginable power at surprising low prices? None of this Standard/Black Cat crap that...

    The World is Flat

    Watched The Martian today and loved it, read the book which was a bit meh but the film far more entertaining. That led me to have a look at NASA's facebook page and all fascinating stuff about what they are doing to get to Mars. What I also found was bewildering though. There are a lot of...

    Local gems - Nathan Ferguson and Dumebi Dumaka

    Nathan Ferguson of Grays Athletic has been attracting a lot of attention lately by a lot of football league clubs. He is a midfielder who's performances are not going unnoticed. But what surprises me is that why aren't we being linked with him? Since Grays are a local side and now we have an u21...

    Privilege - and what it really means

    Have been having a bit of a row on FB with one of hubby's ex colleagues who used to be a good laugh but has become pretty much of a political activist, pre-election for the Greens, but subsequently for Labour, and in particular for Corbyn, plus organising rallies for "#Black lives matter". She...

    PES 16 vs FIFA 16

    Back in the day Fifa was awful and Pro Evo the better game. Pro Evo then seemed to get bogged down and Fifa came on leaps and bounds to take the crown. The games were better and the polished presentation was miles better and Ive had Fifa every year for some time. However Ive not yet played FIFA...

    Slick marketing?

    I have just received my SUFC Commercial Brochure 2015-16. The glossy, well presented brochure is interesting and very professional BUT why is it 2 months late? Another "almost but not quite right" effort from The Blues. Some of the game day packages are very tempting.
