    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...

  2. Ref Watch .. Swindon Away

    Seems like we got the sort of penalty normally only reserved for home teams on Saturday, although, from the TV angle, you couldn't possibly say the decision was wrong. I think Tuesday's rearraged match at Swindon will by far the hardest of our three away matches in 8 days at bottom of the...

    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...

    FC - Week 1

    Back to the real stuff and it's a tough opener for us, probably our main rivals for promotion. They brag two 6 figure former internationals and a whole pack of 60k+ players. We're full strength and will need our bowlers on top form. With only 6 teams in the league you can't afford too many slip...

    Question Ian Harte?

    Is available and if he was willing to join St Mirren, then surely we could afford his wages - at least till the end of the season? Said in an interview today he is willing to 'play First Division football' - but to be honest, I guess he means Leeds (again), Leicester etc? Still... worth a sniff?

  6. Ref Watch .. Swindon Away .... Covers Permitting

    One slight silver lining to the black cloud that was Tuesday's fiasco, was that we didn't have to endure 90 mins of Keith Hill. Hope they re-arrange it for a day when he is not available. Saturday's match at Swindon will be officiated by Karl Evans from Manchester. He is in his second season...

  7. Credit Crunch story, tenuous Blues Link

    Spotted on the Web.... OWN GOAL - "I love my Saturday football fix but am unable to afford Southend's 25 quid, so I've started to walk down to my local non-league team. A few weeks ago, I was standing about 10 yards to the side goal, on a slope, as the away team came towards me. The...

    Standing at the cross-roads - read this Ron Martin!

    I think the club is currently at a cross roads. We can either spend money and try and buy our way out of possible trouble with expensive short term solutions, or we can struggle on with what we've got, topped up by loan signings and the occasional more expensive signing when the right player...

    Rafa's Not Keane On Robbie

    As a GBP20m striker, failing to make the starting line-up is disappointing. Being repeatedly substituted on the odd occasion that you do is even worse. But the nadir of Robbie Keane's short and unhappy time on Merseyside must surely be the indignity of being kicked off the bench in favour of...

    Portugal and Spain reveal joint 2018 World Cup bid

    A joint bid was issued by Spain and Portugal in the race for 2018 World Cup host. Although Portugal had allegedly been more excited about the venture than Spain, Spanish FA President Angel Maria Villar Llona has since indicated that he supports a joint endeavour. The bid is also being backed by...

  11. Parkinson Named Charlton Manager

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/c/charlton_athletic/7806330.stm Seems a bit odd with him not winning any of the 8 games he was caretaker boss. But probaly all they could afford was him.

    Brilliant Streaming Music Player

    If you love music but cant afford to buy all the recent or classic CD's then there is a program which runs on your computer like itunes, but it has practically any song you would want to listen to, from early 1900's (for Cricko) to recent stuff (new take that album OBL?). Program is called...

  15. UK Independence

    VAT was more than doubled from 8 to 17.5% to fund our joining the EU. In these harsh financial times does anyone feel that we simply cannot afford the luxury of retaining EU membership. Does anyone know the total cost to the country and per person ? It is £1000 for every adult p.a. £80 per...

    Lee Barnard in January

    It came to me tonight that would it not be in the best interests of this club to offload Barney in January if the opportunity arises? I like Barney, I think he is a decent poacher at this level, and when he is fit and on form, he will score goals, given the service. Trouble is, he is almost on...

    Gallas Must Go

    There is a saying in England that it is better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool than to open it and remove all doubt. Apparently no-one told William Gallas. The Arsenal captain, in an interview that will do for his career what Little Bighorn did to General Custer's, accused his...

    Telford is our season

    Our season could end Tuesday. We're already out of the League Cup so won't be beating Man U in that again. We're not going to Wembley in the LDV so that only leaves the league and the FA Cup. Whilst our league position is OK, the current team (including all the loanees) just isn't good enough...
