    Drawing on the resources of SZ

    I've just quit my job. Hurrah and huzzah! From next season, I will be the EPL Correspondent for The Singapore New Paper, working from home with a laptop, Sky TV and a dog-eared copy of '1001 Tortured Similies' I've also been offered a contract to write a book called, at the moment anyway...

    Drinking Alcohol at Work

    This afternoon i was sitting in my office preparing a set of accounts,getting particularly bored and thinking how warm it was. I went over to my small husky fridge, got out a small bottle stella and proceeded to sit back & chill out. While refreshing my taste buds the new office junior came in...

    One to start the weekend (week 7)

    This week takes us back to 1999, and the first ever release on Ministry of Sounds offshoot label Data, indeed, this track is pretty much the Uk's first number 1 'Trance' record... This German chaps full name is André Tanneberger, so its no wonder he DJ's and producers under a shorter version of...

    From tonights Echo

    Freddy and Gower are unlikely to be fit for Saturday. Neither have trained this week at all and out of the two Gower is more likely to make it. Freddys back is still in spasm and is affecting his mobility. Tilly is also unusually critical of the fans, by saying "People just don't know what...
  5. Freddy tantrum

    There may be another thread on this somewhere but I can't be bothered to trawl, and couldn't bring myself to come on here til this afternoon. Did anyone else notice Freddy storming down the tunnel straight after the final whistle had gone on Saturday? Now I like the guy, don't get me wrong, but...

    What on earth do we want?

    It's a tall order now. We MUST win both games and hope Leeds and Hull both collect no more than 1 point each from their last 2 matches. Possible, but unlikely. But apart from a probable relegation, I fear that as fans we are going to make ourselves a laughing stock of the entire football...

    100 Pet Hates

    1) People that wear sunglasses in the middle of winter (and they're not skiing) 2) People who have their "personal" stereos up too loud on the train (biggest complaint is they haven't already gone deaf) 3) Women who forget to take the white sale labels off the bottom of their black stilletos 4)...

    Pubs to avoid near to White Hart Lane

    Been speaking to my mate at work who's a Spurs season and a bit of a boy if you know what i mean, he says avoid the Gilpin and The Phoenix.   These pubs usually house Tottenham's Top Boys and known trouble makers.  By all means, if you want trouble go to them   Most of the other pubs near WHL...
  11. The Beatles - Love

    Have to say, I was very sceptical about this when I first heard about it - The Beatles back catalogue being re-arranged for a new Cirque de Soleil show being staged in Las Vegas. Then I heard that George Martin and his son Giles were overseeing the project personally using the original master...

    FA Cup First Round

    Max Porter started for Bishop’s Stortford as they were beaten 5-3 at home to King’s Lynn. In the King’s Lynn side was Mark Warren, whilst scoring 2 of the goals was ex trialist, Michael Frew. A certain Drewe Broughton played the full 90 as Boston were thumped 4-0 at struggling Bournemouth...

  14. Is it down to discipline?

    Ok, so we all know we are now in a much tougher league. But are we really as bad as our results suggest? Do we genuinely believe that the teams we are playing now are generally all good enough to score at least 3 goals against us? Or is there something else fundamentally wrong? Tilly and Brush...

    Plus points

    After a longer than normal journey home today I had a bit of a dwell on the game. Trying to shy away from getting to worked up about what I perhaps feel about certain things today, as no doubt I'll get told I'm wrong, I looked for some positives. 1. I thought Paynter looked a different...

    Adam Tann

    And there was me thinking it couldn't get any worse for Borient down at Birdbrain Road - but it just has. Our defender Adam Tann has just been diagnosed with cancer. I want this season over a.s.a.p. Best wishes to Tanny. J_S

    Dolly Parton

    Went to 20-20 Cricket in Hove last night. As one of the Kent players was caught out the tannoy blurted out working 9-5 - To which one of my mates said " Would ya". My answer was No as she must be sixty now but all the other lads said they would. Am I alone in thinking she is just too...

    Good book recommendation

    Tottenham Massive by Trevor Tanner. Well worth a read. If anyone like Football Hooligan stories get this. It's quite funny, and gives the account of the author running one and if not the most feared firm in English football. they actually hate Chelsea more than the Gooners... Go get...

    Pre match atmosphere

    If we are going to create a pre match atmosphere before the Bristol game will someone turn that bl**dy tannoy off. It just blares out loud music right up until kick off. You can't even hear yourself think!
