    Trouble in Toon

    Believe it or not, a lot of Newcastle United fans were philosophical about their relegation at the end of last season. They recognised that you cannot run a football club as appallingly as Freddie Shepherd and Mike Ashley had without inviting serious consequences into your frontroom for dinner...

    Senor Jekyll outwits Senor Hyde

    If the World Cup is anything like this, we're all in for a treat. You could always sense that the destiny of the Confederations Cup would be determined by the identity of the Brazil team that turned up. If it was the Brazil who lethargically struggled past South Africa, then the USA would strike...
  3. "Southend Defeat Key To Ronaldo Leaving"

    When asked if it was last month's defeat to Barcelona in the Champions League Final that was the main reason he wanted to leave Manchester United,Christiano Ronaldo allegedly replied :- "To be honest,I've been wanting away for more than two years now and the tipping point was being knocked out...

    SZ Novella - Chapter Six

    Chapter Six - South Of The ShrimperZone? At This Time Of Night? Ricey edged away from Stokes, carefully keeping his eyes shielded from the Red Tube. As tempting as it was to allow himself to wallow in the intense glow of some very, very naughty thoughts, he knew from...well...erm, first hand...

    Rugby - Help Required

    Ah, Uxbridge is going to love this. I've recently signed a four-book deal with the publishers of Football Fables to produce wry, but informative, guides to the four major sports. It's not quite as glamourous as it sounds. At 30,000 words, the books are rough-guides rather than ground-breaking...

    Long Way To Go

    There's a long way to go yet. After an almost flawless first year in charge, Fabio Capello was brought crashing down to earth in Seville by a breath-taking Spanish side who taught him a hard lesson in what it takes to win international honours. England kept pace with the European Champions for...

    Pub Wisdom (Football)

    This week, I'm looking to compile a list of great pub wisdom, but in a strictly football context. I'm on the hunt for the greatest things you can say in a slightly raised voice while watching the game in public. The points that experience has taught you to make before someone else gets there to...

    Chelsea Dominant As Villa Crumble

    Crisis? What crisis? Beset by injuries, Chelsea saved their best performance of the season so far for the day when the smart money was on Aston Villa to end that long unbeaten home run of theirs. Luiz Felipe Scolari's walking wounded preserved their record in a magnificent first half before...

    Call for unity

    Come on people we all want Southend to do well. We don't won't hate campaigns against players and certainly no boo boys!. Only positive thoughts and no negativity please. Lets hope Peterborough have a reality check today and get taught a football lesson on the pitch. Nothing less than 3 points...

    Sir Alex Ferguson's relationship with Cristiano Ronaldo.

    Likening your guidance, as an employer, to the counsel of a father is a tactic that very few football managers could get away with, but what might sound melodramatic and over-familiar in some cases is perfectly suitable for Sir Alex Ferguson's relationship with Cristiano Ronaldo. "If you are...

    Up and coming posh game

    I am coming down with a few posh fans to watch the opening game of the season. A few weeks ago, I was confident we would get a few new faces in(particulrly Mulgrew!!!!!) but with only around 2 weeks until the big day I am starting to think that we are going to get taught a lesson, especially...

    Tuesday Jokes

    A lady goes to her priest one day and tells him, 'Father, I have a problem. I have two female parrots, But they only know how to say one thing.' 'What do they say?' the priest inquired. They say, 'Hi, we're hookers! Do you want to have some fun?' That's obscene!' the priest exclaimed...

  16. This is sky sports news!

    Right did anyone see the interview with "sir" trevor brooking. How is this man the head of our youth development. Skills coachs : for what exactly? They don't have these in any other country do they? Just as the dutch coach said, it is a stupid idea (not in those words obviously) When kids are...

    Moving on.

    Playing like that, we won't get any joy in the playoffs but our playoff victory three seasons ago has surely taught us that the form you take in to the playoffs isn't as import as getting there and a massive step is exactly what we took today. In fact, in my estimations, the last two games were...

    Metal Monday Pt.16

    One of the first heavy metal acts I listened way back 16 years ago. They have been extremely influential to me playing guitar, their music taught me a hell of a lot. Unfortunately they have turned for worse and I've lost all interest in what used to be my favourite band but I will always be...

    Swing The Axe, Fabio!

    With a rare swathe of midweek Premier League fixtures, the next few days represent the last chance for English footballers to worm their way into Fabio Capello’s affections. The Italian manager names his first England squad on Saturday after spending a month travelling up and down the country in...
