    Blackburn Rovers Fan Dies After Half Time Assault

    Dreadful news this morning of the poor Blackburn Rovers fan who's died after an incident involving a 'fellow supporter'. Although details are sketchy it appears a bin was thrown randomly and just happened to hit him during the half time interval. It also seems to be that his wife and brothers...

    Wenger Really Isn't A Paedo

    Sir Alex Ferguson has not exactly covered himself in glory in front of the press this season, but his spirited defence of Arsene Wenger's honour is to be applauded. The Manchester United boss has called on his own supporters to refrain from their sickening chants about Arsene Wenger when they...
  3. Robinho: The £32.5m Advert

    When Manchester City pipped Chelsea to the signing of Robinho 18 months ago, it was dubbed as the transfer that would make the whole world take notice. It has, we’ve now noticed just how petulant a footballer can possibly be. The Brazilian forward come winger come child has had what can only be...
  4. 50 games which defined a decade - Part 1 (2000-2004)

    As we've had our last game of the decade, I had planned to do something about the top twenty matches of the ten years just gone but I found it very difficult to leave some matches out, plus in truth it's some of the defeats which have stuck with me the most. And rather than doing a countdown I...
  5. FC Match 8

    Baggys Slackers v BATTY SHRIMPERS We're away to the side in 5th who we lead by 21 points (we're 3rd). Had to rest a few, as PFL isn't what we would like. Good toss to win, seeing as we haven't got a lot of batting, and what batting we had has just got out.... We can tell you that BATTY...

    Pops - 7/11

    The fact we've won every game other than the one we've thrown in OD this season with this guy bowling 10 overs unfit every week hopefully shows what we'll be able to do when he gets up to speed. 5 weeks till he hits superb stamina and can drop to 4 nets...... Brian Graham - 18 yo, BT...

    The Internet Is Rubbish

    If this is the future then build me a time machine because I preferred it in the past. If I ever have to watch another game of football on my laptop, then there's going to be trouble. Nothing violent obviously, I'm far too weedy for a public rampage, but I tell you what, there'll be some fairly...

    Tubby Alan Wiley

    There's no room for sentiment in football. Alan Wiley should remind himself of that this morning when he hauls himself out of bed and trudges to the mirror. He'll suck in his gut and puff out his chest, he'll flex his arms and stiffen his chin, he'll even do that thing where you try and lift...

    Post-Match Thread and Ratings Southend United 0-1 Oldham

    Abysmal. Absolutely abysmal. That's the only way I can sum that up today. Tilly needs to show some balls sometimes, he really does. We're playing an average, mid table side at home and we set up with such a negative midfield. It's almost like we're playing Chelsea or something. The substitutions...

    OD - Week 11

    Why Bother?

    Why are England playing Holland tonight? Does anyone actually know? International friendlies are pointless and pre-season friendlies are tedious, so why are we combining the two to create one giant 90 minute period of mind-altering boredom? Who stands to gain from this unique conjunction of the...

    favourite Oasis Track

    Went to wembly saturday night to watch these boys and in the boozer beforehand we was chatting about our fav tune , out of ten of us pals we each had a different favourite track . Now i'm guessing thats the sign of a decent band if so many of your songs are good enough to be a favourite ...
  14. FC - Match 3

    BATTY SHRIMPERS v Stumpys We can tell you that Stumpys won the toss and elected to field. The pitch is looking quite cracked! A field day for the seam bowlers I would reckon on this sunny day. Bit short today, as Schoeman, Middleton, Begg and Pollock are all Energetic or worse, so don't...

    OD - Week 3

    Two defeats so far for me. This week however everyone is back to sublime so we've allowed ourselves a GFI, our cup game isn't too hard and I'm not worried if we go out anyway. We play Layercake away, they've won their first two and are very strong including two 200k+ players. AFC Wimbledon...
  16. June 6th 1944 D-DAY

    I know it's tomorrow but thought I'd start the tributes now. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPU4p7UQOtU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDEeO57PpLE I for one would like to thank everyone of those troops who risked life and limb, with many not making it, to keep this country free. R.I.P. to...

    Scum v Scum

    Am watching the Millwall Leeds 2nd league. Usually when watching a game as a neutral I tend to want one team to one, but with this one I'm stuck. My hatred of dirty Leeds is matched by few other teams (Man U included), I absolutely can't stand the club or their fans. However, whilst Millwall...

    A Recovery Nightmare

    It all started normally. Flat battery in South Woodham Ferrers, clutch gone on an VW Camper in Westcliff another flat battery at Southend Hospital. All run of the mill stuff. Then I got a call for an Ford Scorpio in Pitsea with a wheel bearing gone and needing recovery to Great Yarmouth. That'll...

    Officials and Stewards.

    The result last night didn’t bother me too much because we created enough chances and on another night we could of won 4-1. If there are any zoners who referee at some level, I would like to hear your views on this. But what is really beginning to get to me is the standard of officiating in...
