    SZ Novella - Chapter Five

    Chapter Five - Red Sky At Night, Stokes' Delight Ricey sprinted down the back-alley, feet slipping and sliding on the wet concrete as he went. The sound of a gunshot echoed off the walls and he instinctively ducked, almost falling to the ground. Reaching the end of the passageway, he turned...

    Brave Arsenal Squeeze Through

    Roma 1-0 Arsenal (6-7 on pens) (Juan, 9) We've always known that Arsenal's kids are talented. Now we know that they're brave as well. After an energy-sapping 120 minutes in the Stadio Olimpico, 111 of them played without their single goal safety net, they picked themselves up off the floor and...

    Interview with an Exile: Part 9 - Pubey

    This week, Jon (Pubey), from Sheffield takes part in the exile interview. Below is Jon with Stevie Hammell and Mr Alan McCormack: 1) How long have you been an exile? A) I moved to Sheffield in November 2007, and was exiled up in Leicester from 2003-2006 2) Why did you leave Essex? A) I...

    Ashley Should Hide Now

    Kevin Keegan was not simply the manager of Newcastle United. In the eyes of the supporters he was a hero, an icon, a leader and an inspiration. His sacking will not be treated as another turn of the managerial merry-go-round, it will be felt like the killing of a monarch. You have to visit...

    Workers Compensation

    I so hope this is true!! This is a bricklayer's accident report, which was printed in the newsletter of the Australian equivalent of the Workers' Compensation Board... Dear Sir, I am writing in response to your request for additional information in Block 3 of the accident report form. I...

    Ankle sprains

    Basically sprained it about four weeks back and was wondering if it should still be a bit stiff. At the time, i felt as though I may have sprained it in two places both on the side of the ankle and the top of the foot. The lateral movement seems to be fine apart from the very occasinonal...

    Test match review

    Ok, so a stunning win England albeit not an especially stunning performance but I have a few questions for the SZ cricket knowledge-base: 1.a. Why does every media agency seem to be giving all the plaudits to Strauss when Monty took 6 of a possible nine wickets in the 2nd NZ innings ripping...

    Was the writing on the wall?

    Being at this distance and not seeing the side regularly (last match home to Leeds), I am probably not best equipped to analyse the end of our season. However, I just have this sneaky feeling that the writing was on the wall in the matches against Tranmere and Port Vale and no one saw it (or...

    Chelsea

    You would think that, as the single most important match of their history looms up on the horizon, Chelsea might try to put a lid on the gossip and focus on the football, but nothing is ever that simple at Stamford Bridge. Faced with a choice of either (a) clarifying Avram Grant’s future or (b)...

    The Title Race.

    If you had any plans for this Saturday evening, I'd start cancelling them now because this title race is going all the way to the wire. Manchester United's struggles against Brad Friedel Rovers, sorry, Blackburn Rovers brought back memories of their 1995 visit to Upton Park when Ludek Miklosko's...

    Celtic v Rangers

    I'm told by my Scottish friends that when it comes to excitement, you'll have to go a long way to beat an Old Firm derby between Glasgow Rangers and Glasgow Celtic. I've always been a little dubious of that claim. After all, I've been to Tottenham against Arsenal. Could it really be anymore...

    'You'll Never Walk Alone'

    The parties went on long into the night. For the third time in four seasons, Liverpool were through to the final four of Europe's most prestigious competition. Rafa Benitez had asked and the Anfield faithful had provided. The old stadium was rocked on its foundations by the noisy supporters and...

    Semi-match report

    I thought I may as well put my thoughts on the game up as I've barely been on since the game. As I mentioned before this match, the form of the home team compared with that of the away team and the relative league standings pointed only one way: Away win. Sure enough, the form book wasn't...

    Forthcoming games

    It's always fun when you're involved at either end of the table and you get significicant days even when you're not playing and this will be happening tomorrow night. Carlisle can help consolidate our playoff position by beating Forest and keeping one more team between us and the dreaded dashed...

    CL Betting tonight

    After pickign up a nice chunk of value on Liverpool winning and getting a bit lucky with the sending off, I'm keen to have a punt on the game tonight*. I think Man Utd look too short at that price and you feel that they would happily take a draw back to Old Trafford. Overs 2.5 goals at 2.6 is...

    Bournemouth game

    In spite of me vaguely defending our form in another thread, I've just noticed that Bournemouth are marginally ahead of us in the form guide having picked up 12 point compared to our 11 in the last 8. More notably, we've both scored 14 and they're only conceded one more goal than us in their...
  17. World Cup in Brazil......scary thought!!!!!

    Fifa, football's world governing body has awarded the 2014 tournament to Brazil.....a brave move, considering that Brazil's justice ministry has recorded 150 murders per day in Brazil, and the state of Brazil's aviation industry is less than reliable. Currently it only takes a brief...

    Anyone leaving?

    Lots of talk, rumour and counter-rumour, about who may or may not end up at Roots Hall, where from, and for how much. However, I have yet to see any posts indicating movement the other way, either permanently or on loan. There must be a few who may need to start looking up League Two road maps...

    sufcintheprem ratings

    Seeing as its been a while since I did these and, for a change, I'm not doing the slightly arduous 2 hour journey home, I thought I might put up my thoughts on today's game. All in all, we weren't really that bad overall. Oldham succeeded where many other clubs have failed in the past and...
  20. Leeds and the FA

    A couple of thoughts occurred to me reading this. Firstly: Leeds they never learn do they? They seem to be trying to recapture their image of the 70s under Revie; no one likes us, we don't care. My main thought though is I remember when Freddie was sent off a couple of seasons back against...
