    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...

    Lifetime Bans!

    Barry Ferguson and Alan McGregor have both been told they will never play for Scotland again following an 8 hour drinking binge in between matches last week. Some may say its a little harsh but they're a pair of idiots and deserve what they get. AS a Scotsman, I don't think its a huge loss but...

    London Protestor Dies

    Sympahty, honestly, it's terrible isn't it. However, if the Protestor wasn't there, they probably wouldn't have died...

    Breaking News Charlie MacDonald in 442 'Top 50 League Players'

    At Number 48 to be precise. I wouldn't agree with it, but I could understand Hooper being in the Top 50 after what he's done this year (he isn't in, but is named as Scunthorpe's best player), but MacDonald's inclusion is absurd. No Shrimpers in the 50, Peter Clarke gets the nod as our best...

    Is Ashley The April Fool?

    When the watching world assumes that your latest managerial recruitment is an April Fool's prank, it doesn't exactly bode well for the future. Alan Shearer must have often dreamed about the reaction he would get if he ever slipped into the St James Park hotseat, but I bet he didn't expect...

    When does drinking alcohol become excessive?

    Is isn't just about me, but I thought I'd start a little dicussion about how much drink is too much? Persaonally I'm not sure. I will go out binge drinking as it is know (something like more than 4 units in one session?) at least once a weekend. I hardly go out in the week, maybe on a monday...

    Warnock

    Just read his autobiography. Not bad, worth a read. A few ex-Shrimpers - mentions Mooney, Stannard (gk coach at Palace). Oh and he really vents his spleen at Wally Downes, Gary Megson, Fergie, Benitez, 90% of refs, Arthur Cox (who he sold Craig Short for far too much money) Three decent...

    When Title Races Go Bad

    Two weeks ago, Manchester United were seven points ahead of Liverpool with a game in hand and the title race appeared to be over. Now, with United losing back-to-back league games, the gap has been slashed to just a single point. Can Liverpool maintain their momentum and romp home to an unlikely...

    Writing criticism/ advice wanted.

    BTQ once again requests some advice. Would anyone willing to spend a few minutes to read through a match report I have written, let me know either on here or via message. I put one up last year and a few were impressed and the others picked me up on where I could improve. That was a year ago...

    Just a thought...

    Just a thought, with Charlton doomed and Southampton and Norwich looking iffy what's to say that they're not going to come down and swoop on some of our players? Would never want to be a prophet of doom for next season but with these down there in the mix 09/10 season could be an almighty...

    Cowboys Cut T.O.

    Terrell Owens has been released by the Dallas Cowboys. Full story here: http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3953647 I wouldn't be surprised to see him land in Washington next.

  14. Breaking News Ron's blog 24/02/09

    Whilst the rest of us were watching the match, Ron was emailing us his latest thoughts: I want to begin this week by thanking all our supporters who were able to attend the match at Colchester this weekend. The 1800 or so who made the journey across Essex showed, once again, what passion is...

  15. wouldnt like to be in a wheelchair in the event of a fire

    one very strange thing I noticed today was that all the wheelchair users were high up around the ground which is fine and Ihad lifts to am sure that they had lifts to get you up to your position. But in the event of a fire your f...ked. why would you not have them on pitch level??? what a...

    FAO Mr Peter Clarke

    I know some people on here have good connections at the Club, and that some Club officials read this forum so I was hoping this will get passed onto Peter Clarke if at all possible. Clarke, First of all, I was the bloke in the white adidas jumper in East Reds that had a pop at you, and others...

    Season ticket renewal

    Anyone else considering not renewing next saeson ? For me this season has been a real chore (Chelsea apart) I allways used to eagerly look forward to the next game, sadly not any longer. Very few times this term have we played well. We just seemed to have huffed and puffed, scoring 17 goals...

  19. Is Sleeping with a friend acceptable?

    This past week has been our University "RAG Week"... Basically Raise And Give Week, where all the sports team organise events to raise money for charity, culminating in a Uni organised Bar Crawl and a big night out in one of the local clubs. I was out with a few of the lads from my house and...

    Does The Big C Make You A Big C?

    I'm just in from my daily walk. Despite the cold my face is burning up. Although the wander was a modest one, to Southchurch Park, the seafront and then back home, my body aches all over and I'm far too tired for a bloke of my age to be. You see, people, I have cancer - and I'm fare more...
