    Grays Chairman Woodward In Slight Over-Reaction Shocker (Again)

    Good to read from the Non League Paper website that our Grays Athletic chairman friend Mr. Woodward being his usual quiet self last night ... Woodward To Quit Grays by Stuart Hammonds Wednesday, March 18, 2009 GRAYS ATHLETIC chairman Mick Woodward has told The Non-League Paper he is quitting...

    Another reason to be upbeat

    As well as this afternoon's fantastic win at Peterborough for the first-team, Ricky Duncan's Under-18 side recorded a 2-0 win over Wycombe Wanderers to maintain their challenge for the Youth Alliance League South East Conference title. Craig Calver and Kyle Asante scored second half goals as...

    Rusty Shackleford's X-Files: SUFC Special

    I thought I would depart from the normal RSXF theme of carl, steveo and I arguing with all the Godless lefties and discuss something which really doesn’t belong in the Pub section – my view on the current state of Southend United, both on and off the field. Steve Tilson has presided over one...

    The Fall of Roman's Empire?

    The rumours that Roman Abramovich is attempting to sell Chelsea may have been quickly denied by the club, but when you stack up the numbers, it's all too plausible. Stamford Bridge has been a black hole for the Russian oligarch's cash and, in a year when he's lost so much money elsewhere, it...

    Is Ronaldo Growing Up?

    So that's the World Player of the Year, the Balon D'or, the PFA Player of the Year, the Football Writers Footballer of the Year, the European Golden Shoe and something called the FIFPro Award. It seems that the only thing Cristiano Ronaldo hasn't won in the last twelve months is the US election...

    Interview with an Exile - Part 11: The tables have turned!

    Hi folks, This will be the final Interview with an Exile for Series 1, and I thought I would give some of the people I have cheekily edited on here over the past few months the opportunity to get their own back. So in the series finale, I am answering the questions! Would like to thank...

    Liverpool's Slippery Title Chase

    There's a distinct Joey Barton vibe about Liverpool this week. We look at them with a grudging respect, we acknowledge the good start, but we all share a growing sense of uneasiness, as if it's only a matter of time before they fall flat on their face, or in Barton's case, re-arrange someone's...

    Arsenal Lose, Four-All

    Arsene Wenger stared down his inquisitor, apparently caught between contempt and fury. A 4-4 draw at home to Tottenham, under any circumstances, is a poor result, but to be asked where he thought he, "lost the game," seemed to be pushing it a little. "We did not lose," he said slowly. "I must...

    Your First ****.....

    You may have been eleven, twelve, thirteen, maybe even a late starter at fourteen; but at some point all us boys spilt our load for the first time (and don’t say “nah, not me, never touch it"). Anyway, you may have been thinking about the girl next door, your mates mum or some celeb. For most of...

    Another good one to come to WHCS for

    If you dont fancy the charity game but would still like a trip to the WHCS to suss it out before our league meeting there try looking at this, could be a good game to watch. From the Colchester o/s U's Set For England Encounter Posted on: Wed 01 Oct 2008 England U19s will round off the year...

    Interview with Anton Otulakowski

    Born and bred in Yorkshire, Anton, a former international schoolboy gymnast, caught the eye of Barnsley while playing for Ossett Town and joined them in 1975 for his first pro team. Whilst at Barnsley, Anton was also holding down a full time job as a surveyor with the then Gas Board and he...

    Stalemate at Stamford Bridge

    Apologies, it was such a rush to get this out in time that I forgot to SZ it! See if you can spot the ****-ups.... So near and yet so far. Manchester United came within ten minutes of ending Chelsea's extraordinary 85 game unbeaten run at Stamford Bridge, pegged back by that most unlikely of...

    Arsenal's Lucky Escape

    So it's true, there are no easy games in the Champions League. What was supposed to be a routine three pointer in Eastern Europe almost turned into a disaster for Arsenal as this year's Dynamo Kiev turned out to be far superior to the sorry outfit that stumbled to six defeats from six in this...

    Southend v Fulham Friendly 1964

    The day before our friendly with Fulham, and it reminds me of a similar friendly some 44 years ago, when we played them in a Testimonial for Peter Watson in April 1964. The most memoriable thing about this game was the score a 6-5 win, not often you see eleven goals in a match. and as a twelve...

    Hull City

    Hull City, a gritty northern side who were in the bottom division of English football just four years ago, are now 90 minutes away from the bright lights of the Premier League. Manager Phil Brown only took over in January 2007 when the Humberside team were paddling in the relegation zone, but...

    Derby v Arsenal

    There was a point in the proceedings at Pride Park when this odd football match crossed an invisible line between disaster and farce. An Arsenal cross looped into the home penalty area, but drifted a little too far and looked to be heading out of play. Derby's wardrobe-shaped Darren Moore...

    Metal Monday Pt.23

    I never thought this would last until its 23rd week but here I am again with another favourite of mine. I've steered clear of thrash metal for the last couple of months but I feel it's time to return to that fold. Testament: So good they even managed to get in to an episode of The Simpsons...
