    GB Relay Team To Win Gold - Eventually!

    The Great Britain Men's 4 x 400m Relay team are to be awarded gold medals 13 years after they ran the race. Roger Black, Jamie Baulch, Iwan Thomas and Mark Richardson were given silver medals at the 1997 World Championships, but when Antonio Pettigrew admitted taking drugs, the US team were...

    This is interesting?

    At first I though it was one of Rev's new recipes for Tilly and then I thought it was another rant against the pizza place that won't sell up.(which of course it is) However the most interesting thing is the sentence about funds available as soon as the new stadium is under way...
  3. Pay Up Pompey, Pompey Pay up

    It never rains, it pours... Except in Portsmouth, where the football club seems to permanently be in the grips of a category 5 hurricane. The south coast club are gripped in a relegation battle they seem destined to lose and the mystery surrounding their owner seems to deepen by the day. The...

    2010 Celebrity Dead Pool

    Ok, here it is. Same rules as 2009. Each entrant picks 5 Celebrities or Famous People(All Alive now). If they are a bit obscure then a wiki link to prove who you mean is needed. They must be real people ie: not TV characters. Deadline (pardon the pun) is 1/1/10 after which i'll get the thread...

    Hockley gang war?

    Hockley gangs in turf war I used to play football at Clements Hall and my blood ran cold on the rare occasions I put the ball over the fence because I would have to run the gauntlet of youths burning around on 50cc step through mopeds or blasting loud music from Vauxhall Novas. Now it appears...
  6. Question Does My Housemate Have a Vagina?

    This morning, I started to question my housemates manliness for the first time... Got up this morning with no work so thought I'd make myself a quick bacon sarnie while listening to Sky Sports News before getting to the gym. I left the kitchen door open so I could hear about Dean Ashton finally...

    Nominations please

    Time for another battle. The rules of engagement for this one are: 1)Participants must be or have been a recognised sportswoman at a reasonably high level. For example, Audrey Tatou is not eligible, even if she may once have run in the 100m for her school. If your nomination is someone not...

    Post-Match Thread and Ratings Tranmere Rovers 2-0 Southend United

    No-one bothered? Thought I'd start it as I'm likely first one up this morning - after just an hour and a half's sleep and getting in at 2.40! Huge disappointment, the team that played Friday was just completely absent for the first half, and some of them for the second too. It was like...

    Memory Lane Episode No 7 Season 1931-32

    Here's Episode No. 7 of Season 1931-32 as was printed in the Southend v Bristol Rovers programme, I hope I haven't overdosed you all. Extracts from "The Forgotten Years of the Kursaal" by Peter William Baker No. 7 THE BIGGEST ATTRACTION IN THE THIRD DIVISION Record gates at Clapton Orient...

    Sunday evenings......whatever happened to the quizzes?

    Anyone else missing them? :unsure: Personally I'd really like to bring them back, maybe not on a weekly basis but certainly a couple of times a month. I think Glasgow Rich and I ran the last one and consensus at that time was it's all a bit of fun and that so what about it? Worth...
  11. England's Second String Made to Swelter.

    A second string England team fell to a single moment of brilliance in Doha, in an otherwise completely forgettable international friendly. As has become a familiar case for the meaningless friendlies outside of qualification matters, the England side consisted of Wayne Rooney, Gareth Barry...

    Grimsby rant

    :D Absolutely brilliant.
  13. The Scot Who Cried Wolf

    Sir Alex Ferguson, even more than he likes red wine, likes to moan about referee's. He does it so often now that many just ignore him, like the old relative at christmas who's hell bent on retelling his childhood. Well, Ferguson might actually have a point with his ranting this evening... It's...
  14. * ORM *

    Rambling musings when you wake up slightly hungover with not enough sleep.

    Damn, it doesn't matter what time I go to bed (2.30am) and how much I've had to drink the night before (plenty). I still wake up at 6.30 even on a Sunday and well before the alarm clock which is set for 8.30 to wake up a girl I was out with last night as she is going sailing all day today and...
  15. Ferking Premier$hite fans

    Just a quick rant: I put a message and a link to the Shrimpers Trust on the NWR intranet and got messages of support and pledges of attending games from York City, Bournemouth and Rotherham fans, while the Man Utd and Liverpool "fans" just gave abuse and said it's "time to die". ******s.
  16. Benitez must Battle from the Brink

    Every season after a run of mediocre performances or defeats, some over excited journalist will question one of the big four's title crudentials and, quite rightly, they'll be chastised for doing so. This season, however, Liverpool's season really could be over by this time next weekend. A...

    Just like watching Dream Team...

    ...Well thats how I feel with Southend United the past couple of years, each week is like a far fetched episode of the old Sky One football series Dream Team. Although at times, the fictional storylines of Harchester Utd actually seem more realistic than that our our club. I am not one to rant...

    Question The Force - Channel 4

    Anyone watch it last night. Basically it was an insight into how Hampshire police solved a murder. For an hour and a half I was gripped. It was amazing seeing some of the police techniques for the first time and the way they painstakingly ran through 900 hours of CCTV to catch footage of the...

    Tubby Alan Wiley

    There's no room for sentiment in football. Alan Wiley should remind himself of that this morning when he hauls himself out of bed and trudges to the mirror. He'll suck in his gut and puff out his chest, he'll flex his arms and stiffen his chin, he'll even do that thing where you try and lift...
