    Claude Makelele

    When Roman Abramovich first pumped Chelsea full of roubles in 2003, it sparked a frenzied shopping spree that would have put Coleen Rooney to shame. Hundreds of millions of pounds were splashed out on an array of talent, but I very much doubt if any of it was put to better use than the £16.8m...

    Manchester United v Chelsea Euro final

    They went into the last day of the league separated only by goal difference and when it came to the final of the biggest cup competition in the world, the margin between Manchester United and Chelsea was somehow even thinner. After 120 minutes of gruelling football that ebbed and flowed between...

    Bless The Old

    Toward the end of Sunday service, the Minister asked, 'How many of you have forgiven your enemies?' 80% held up their hands. The Minister then repeated his question. All responded this time, except one small elderly lady. 'Mrs. Neely?'; 'Are you not willing to forgive your enemies?' I don't...
  4. Would someone please explain...

    why we pay our BBC licence fee? Despite repeated attempts by Zoners to correct their inaccuracies, they're still at it! http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_div_2/7393765.stm At least they don't think Heffernan head-butted our star centre-half from the 1980s any more.

    David James

    It is a testament to David James' resilience that he has worked so hard to overcome his injury in time for today's FA Cup Final, but the lure of the big game is only part of his motivation. James, for all of his heroics this season, is more aware than most that when it comes to the FA Cup Final...

    Preview on Sky Sports News

    I saw a preview to tonight's game on Sky Sports News this morning at 6.50am, I assume it will be repeated during the day. They managed to pack everything into the two or three minutes - shots of Roots Hall market, players training, interview with fans and with Tilly, mention of the new stadium...

    This Summer's Transfer Targets

    This Summer's Transfer Targets Christoph Metzelder You only had to watch the last 20 minutes of Arsenal's defeat at Stamford Bridge to appreciate how much the Gunners need a big man at the back next season, and it's not going to be Philippe Senderos. Christophe Metzelder was once considered...

    Liverpool Not Out Yet

    Liverpool fans must be feeling numb by now. There's only so much bad news you can take before you end up rocking backwards and forwards in the corner of the room, dribbling on your shoes and the weekend defeat to Barnsley was the final straw for most long-suffering Reds. Never has there been...
  9. I'd just like to say thanks.........

    ....to the neanderthals sat in the back row of U block in the West Stand on Friday night, you really made it a great evening. Your constant foul mouthed "support" of our players and manager really gladdened the heart, and your repeated exhortations to our players to 'go through him" and "break...

    Vote Mourinho!

    In the wake of the inevitable sacking of Steve McClaren, the English Football Association has promised an urgent review of the national game. They might want to start by looking at the cack-handed, bungling manner in which they last tried to hire a manager and promising to avoid a repeat...

    Anyone who is currently serving and has served in the past should be able to identify with many of these certain 'traits'; sadly I do! You know you've been Defence institutionalised (made military) when... You use target indication to point out hot chicks. You use the term 'chicks' You...

    FC - Week 2

    Here we go again.... Another toughie for me, my opponent has one uber-batsman of 100k+ and a host of 5 figure players. Fortunately they played out a long haul draw in their last FC outing and also fielded a full strength team in the cup so only one of their top 8 players is on sublime fitness...
  14. Luis Garcia

    The following is a letter that Garcia wrote to Liverpool FC to put on thier site. A very nice gesture IMHO. Dear Reds, First of all I'd like to apologise for not having been back in touch sooner, but I needed to take some time to take on board all the recent changes and then to put down...

    Apparently i was just on anglia news just a short while ago doing an interview before the Arnhem game. Anybody see it? Will it be repeated?

    Breaking News..............

    In breaking news it has today been revealed that the puppet Sweep has been admitted to a Psychiatric Hospital. It seems that he has finally cracked, after proceeding through life where everything he has ever uttered has been repeated back to him as a question. In other breaking news the...

    Oops, looks like Mervyn has had to write to Gordon to explain why inflation this month is at 3.1%... clicky (pdf) Two thoughts: 1. Interest rates will be up again next month - watch out all those on anything other than fixed rate mortgages. 2. This paragraph leapt out: Why did CPI inflation...

    Musical Kryptonite

    Some soft **** in the office has just inflicted The Carpenters - Greatest Hits on us all by whacking it on the office stereo. I now have the headphones on and Metallica's 'One' turned up extraordinarily loud. I feel better, but I'm still in shock. The Carpenters are my musical kryptonite...

    Southend United - How far have we come? Part 1

    Cast your mind back almost ten years; could you honestly see us reaching this pivotal moment in the history of Southend United? Back in 1998 the football club was skint; it couldn't pay its players, it couldn't pay its creditors, it couldn't pay the Inland Revenue; the future was so bleak that...
