    Nerves Jangle As Race Intensifies

    And that is why you can't write novels about football. It doesn't matter how expertly you construct your prose, nor how gripping your final chapter, the human mind is simply incapable of making the implausible plausible on as regular a basis as reality. Who would dare to write a story about a...

    History Will Reward Liverpool

    This week, a friend of mine bound for pastures new bestowed upon me her collection of old football magazines. I can't begin to explain how exciting this is to someone like me. You see, my friend's magazine collection is taller than her and it stretches back through the years to historic...

    Can You Help?

    Last Wednesday evening, the landlady of The Spread Eagle was attacked and hospitalised after she tried to break up a row in the pub. She was knocked to the ground and kicked and beaten by people unknown which could just about finish it off for her in running the pub. One thing that is certain...

    The BAN List

    I think it would be right and proper to have a running ban list to inform us and stop us from asking who is banned and why. 1. The Big Shrimp - Unknown to me why maybe somebody could tell us the length of time 2. Bucket and Spade - Banned for trying to avoid the swear filter - 1 week ban

    Pre-Match Thread Ricey's Report: Huddersfield Town (H) 13/12/08

    6 Points None The Richer. Saturday's game against Huddersfield town is a definate 6 pointer for the Shrimpers. They are directly below us and if Huddersfield win they go above us, this is something we don't want to happen and why this game is of great improtance to us. I think a major issue...

    The Facebook status thread

    I dunno about you guys, but I used to love Facebook. Well, for about 3 weeks. What it does well, it does great: silly stories, remembering birthdays, organising events, seeing photos taken by people you'd like to see more often, etc. However, when left in the hands of an imbecile Facebook is a...

    A Bit of Fun We Have Signed Christophe!!!

    Was speaking to Francis Laurent and he has told me that he is over the moon about signing on for a longer period and then I asked about Christophe and he said 'he signed to'. The fee is unknown I did ask him but no doubt we will hear the official story soon. Just thought I would let everyone...

    I may have dropped a bollock

    Letter To Ashley

    After trawling through Mike Ashley's emotional 1664 word press release, Slipperduke has a few questions for him.... "I paid £134 million out of my own pocket for the club. I then poured another £110 million into the club not to pay off the debt but just to reduce it. The club is still in...

    Robinho. Plays For City. Weird.

    Robinho plays for Manchester City. Robinho. Plays for Manchester City. Go on, say it out loud. It doesn't sound right, does it? Nevertheless, thanks to piles of recently acquired Arab oil money, one of the best footballers in the world will soon be wearing the same sky blue shirt that so...

    Ldnfatso in rail rage horror

    So how bad is it really?

    For the first time in many seasons, fbm is worried. It definitely now feels as though we have been relegated rather than just not going up, and our total inability to stride past these non league teams in cruise control has me worrying what may happen if we lose heavily at Wycombe on Saturday...

    evening echo/graffiti teen story

    now we all know that the evening echo can often be labelled as a pretty shocking publication at times. in the past, this has led me to think about stopping my daily delivery. if it wasn't for news on the mighty blues (i say that very loosely!), i would have cancelled it years ago. but then...

    Chelsea

    You would think that, as the single most important match of their history looms up on the horizon, Chelsea might try to put a lid on the gossip and focus on the football, but nothing is ever that simple at Stamford Bridge. Faced with a choice of either (a) clarifying Avram Grant’s future or (b)...
