    OD - Week 4

    This week we line up against the same team that Nick played in his FC game. Unfortunately the match was over in just over a day and they played pretty much a reserve team so no additional fitness issues for them however a couple of their main players seem to be suffering anyway. Will play a...

  4. Just got back...

    Well not really, about midday but I was SERIOUSLY unwell :hilarious: A few things; 1) Firstly I apologise for not popping into The Spread to meet up with a few of you: I didn't get down to The Hall until 12.30 and after I had to tie up with my 15yr old Nephew to watch the England match. Next...

    Useless Kitchen appliances

    To cut a long story short last thursday after debating what to have for our tea, I decided that we would have 'proper chips' rather than oven chips. The Missus agreed to this but pointed out that it was possible we didnt have a deep fat frier but if we had one it would be in the useless kitchen...

    Spencer Prior

    Spinner is appearing as a co-commentator and pundit on a show called Total Football on Fox Sports (the equivalent of Sky) in Australia. According to my sources he mentioned on there that he'd like to play for an Aussie club. However considering their A-League plays through the Oz summer I...

  14. Battrick - Match 11 - Pre-match nerves for Mr B??

    Not his BT game of course.... Good luck for tomorrow mate, hope it all goes well Wazzes Wanderers v BATTY SHRIMPERS We can tell you that BATTY SHRIMPERS won the toss and elected to field. The pitch is looking a bit on the dry side. A fair bit of help for the spinners I think on this...

  15. An open letter to Southend United

    Dear SUFC, I am posting this open letter because whenever I have emailed the club over the years I have never received a reply. I am a season card holder with my young son in the West Stand and was appalled at the lack of segregation on offer at today's match with West Ham, and...

    BT Pops

    Saj popped a week early, his training is now complete. Suthers will continue. A couple of skill trade pops as well, though I doubt I'll make too much on them due to low stamina. Now hitting stamina again, 5 nets cleared to get everyone up a level by the end of the season. Adeem Sajjad - 21...

    1st week of the reverse fixtures, I bowled my oppo out for 181 to scrape a 13 run victory on the 1st day of the season. I was GFI that day, as I wanted to give myself the best possible chance of a winning start, but today I'm PAN. I've set the track to Dusty, as he only plays one, not...

    BT half-term reports

    Pettefershire CCC - Div VI.145 so, having predicted a lower mid-table finish, I'm rather happy to find myself sitting 2nd halfway through my first season- Whitewash (the team above me) are clearly a class above everyone else in the league, but I've beat the 3rd and 4th place teams quite...
