    If you can spare a few moments.....

    Could you please complete the following surveys for hubby's nephew: It would really be helpful if anyone could complete my questionnaire for EPQ, it doesn't matter if you don't like football because any responses will be helpful. The questionnaire has been split into two parts so please click...

    Argentinian/South American football

    Enjoyed seeing three games in our fortnight's visit to Buenos Aires over Easter. River Plate v Rafaela,Bocca V San Lorenzo and San Lorenzo v Gremio (Copa de Libertadores). Had no idea SL were a BA team (apparently the Pope's team no less).Great atmosphere there too- easily comparable with that...

    Buenos Aires

    Going to Buenos Aires in April with the missus for a fortnight to see our 20 year old daughter, who's there for a year studying. Anyone who's been there recently got any travel tips? We've already got accomodation and flights sorted.

    Anyone good at writing Business Proposals *cough-begging letter-cough*??

    I know the likelyhood of anyof these taking over is very remote, but....

    Foul Mouthed Wenger. Sort Of.

    Journalists and football managers have a fractured relationship. After all, it's difficult to cultivate friendships with a group of people who will praise you one week and actively seek your dismissal the next. I know that I'd be less inclined to enjoy Carlo Ancelotti's company if I opened up...

    Swallowed up-The Observer

    Previous Blog home Debt mountains tower over clubs but football's rulers turn a blind eyeThe Game That Ate Itself. That was the title of Observer Sport's 2004 campaign about English football. So where are we now? Debt is football's issue of the moment, propelled into prominence by the...
  8. Hiddink to Man City?

    According to the Beeb, Gus Hiddink has been contacted by Man City's billionaires. Is this the end of Mark Hughes?
  9. Question If You Were Uncle Ron?........

    What would be doing now? Phoning a few multi-millionaires, Lord Sugar or Mr.Sullivan perhaps. Getting his fellow directors to chip in a bob or two? Or standing outside Tesco's with a charity bucket?.......
  10. "Number One Country To Live"

    Just looking at the list of countries which were voted best to live in for quality of life. This was done on the basis or life expectency, Literacy and school enrolement per capita etc and Norway came on top. For me at my age quality of life means other things such as standard of women...

    England Not That Good

    Never let it be said that England's footballers are selfish divas, unwilling to lift a finger to help others. In Amsterdam, in front of 50,000 witnesses, these much-maligned millionaires generously donated two goals to their Dutch opponents, an act of charity that they'd prefer went entirely...

    Chelsea Need To Look In The Mirror

    Mike Riley may have cost them the game, but it is Chelsea's under-performing superstars who have cost themselves the title. Even before the ludicrous dismissal of Frank Lampard, the Blues had barely threatened Liverpool's goal and some of their players need to ask themselves some serious...

    High Praise From Essex Rival

    It's not often that Southend United are praised in a local rival's publication but this is what will be appearing in one club's upcoming programme: - "hats off to Southend United, the pride of Essex this week, who stunned the football world with a superb 1-1 draw at...

    Question Online Questionaires

    Been reading up on it for a while and thought id ask about it on here. Anyone had any experience with it? Looks a good idea but i don't really know much on it. Can anyone suggest some sites to go on? Cheers.

    Fear The Andorrans!

    The time for talking is over. Platitudes have no place on the pitch, especially when the going gets as tough as it will on Saturday night. Fabio Capello's England will be right up against it when they travel to Spain to face the butchers, bakers and candlestick-makers of Andorra's national...

    Soccer AM Update for the Girls

    I received an e-mail this morning from the senior producer of Soccer AM after i chased him up on the lack of response. This is a copy of his reply. Hi Dave Apologies for no replies, the office was empty for most of the summer as we all had our annual leave, and then the last fortnight...

    Sepp Blatter

    You can say what you like about Sepp Blatter, and most people do, but he certainly doesn't lack the courage of his convictions. His proposal that football clubs should limit themselves to just five foreign players by 2012 is going to upset some very powerful people. Not that Blatter cares, of...

    Swing The Axe, Fabio!

    With a rare swathe of midweek Premier League fixtures, the next few days represent the last chance for English footballers to worm their way into Fabio Capello’s affections. The Italian manager names his first England squad on Saturday after spending a month travelling up and down the country in...

    A Christmas Tale

    They don't do it in Germany, they've long since given it up in Spain and the French would be astonished if you suggested that they should give it a try. The Christmas football fixture list is a curiously British and Irish disease. With almost every other civilised nation doing the sensible...
  20. A Shrimper Abroad – Doing the Argentine Primera División for charity

    As you may have seen in Saturday’s match programme, yesterday’s Southend Echo and, rather bizarrely, today’s The Sun (a tiny mention on page 27) I’m setting off on an away trip with a difference in a couple of week’s time. I am flying out to Buenos Aires to watch a match in each football...
