    Was That Really England?

    As the hangovers ebb away and the clean-up begins, a nation struggles to reconcile their fuzzy memories of the game with what they believe they know about their team. Was that really England crashing home four goals against Croatia? Were those white shirts actually passing the ball around the...
  2. Breaking News Rev's Daily Diary

    From the Blues Insider e-mail REVELLING IN IT Welcome to this weeks column of ‘Revelling In It’. Whilst I could talk about Saturday’s performance in detail again, sometimes words aren’t enough and it becomes time to let our feet do the talking, of which we are confident of doing so against...

    Does Bilic Hold The Key for Capello?

    "Wake up! Wake up. You did not lose a game tonight because you had one up front... We are simply a better team." - Slaven Bilic, 21st November 2007 Almost one year on from the debacle at Wembley, from the wally and his brolly and the humiliation of a very public failure, have England woken up...

    Piri,Piri and sardines!

    Me and the Mrs had a week away ( without the sprogs) in sunny "Portugal which as anyone who has pubesant children time on your own is as rare as hens teeth. Anyway we was enjoying out time together, barbecues, alfresco dining and in the words of Austin powers " I found my mojo". I decided to...

    Phrases you don't hear every week

    Other than Napster's "it's my round" an old boy on the train talking about the time - "five and twenty to eleven" quaintness. Any others.

    Twenty20s

    Apparently these have started. Essex to look to have got off to a good start against Statski's Surrey **** caps. 76-1 in the 7th over chasing 126-9.

    Manchester United v Chelsea Euro final

    They went into the last day of the league separated only by goal difference and when it came to the final of the biggest cup competition in the world, the margin between Manchester United and Chelsea was somehow even thinner. After 120 minutes of gruelling football that ebbed and flowed between...

    Proverbs

    A Primary school teacher had twenty-six students in her class. She presented each child in her classroom the 1st half of a well-known proverb and asked them to come up with the remainder of the proverb. It's hard to believe these were actually done by Year 5 students. Their insight may surprise...

    Morals

    Just received this email, hope this thread doesn't get locked quick smart. A teacher gave her class of 11 year olds an assignment to get their parents to tell them a story with a moral at the end. The next day the kids came back and one by one told their stories. Karl said, 'My father's a...

    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...

    My last nights meal was a farce !!!

    Wednesday nights I play football down at a college in Portslade which is 7.30-8.30 - Really enjoyable and helps to keep me fit. Mrs DtS and I have a sort of unwritten agreement that I call her as I am leaving the pitch and she starts my evening meal. Recent efforts have included Chicken...

    Arsenal v Liverpool

    Arsene Wenger was left baffled by his team's failure to beat Liverpool in an intruiging contest at The Emirates, but refused to agree that their opponent's away goal made them favourites to progress to the last four. Arsenal certainly had the better of the game, particularly in the second half...

    The Keegan factor

    I suppose it started when I used to look at them in magazines. I'd furtively hide under the covers, terrified that someone would catch me, but not so scared that I'd stop. That was bad enough, but then I'd wait for everyone to go to sleep so I could watch them on the obscure satellite channels...

    Javier Mascherano

    Javier Mascherano could not have contributed more to Manchester United’s victory without latching onto a Paul Scholes through-ball and rocketing it past Pepe Reina. So far this season, the Argentine midfielder has been the perfect example of a modern, defensive midfielder, but this weekend he...

    Hi all. I play for my local football team- Hadleigh Athletic, and have been writing match reports after the games. Ive always had a liking for writing, especially football reports. Just wondered if anyone would mind reading one of my reports and telling me if they think its any good. Its a bit...
  19. So angry.....

    Sorry to bring it up again chaps but have been too angry to come on the Zone since yesterday's game - now I need to get this off my chest as some sort of "therapy." Have to say I am also a referee like "Lord Football" and therefore try to avoid slating officials but he was literally the worst...

    Keegan Factor

    I’m writing this match preview moments after watching Kevin Keegan’s first press conference as Newcastle United manager since 1997. When he walked into the room, I’ll be honest with you, I felt a little bit tired and maybe a bit stressed about the deadline that was closing in on me. But after...
