    Our little trip to Chelsea

    I awoke at 4am in need of a wee and stumbled out of bed. One empty bladder later I attempted to get back to the land of nod, no chance. So I surfaced, got dressed and tip toed into the kitchen for a cuppa. Got bored with the telly so tormented the cat for a while by making out I was going to let...

    Scolari Knows The Price Of Failure

    Luiz Felipe Scolari is all too aware of the ramifications of failure at Chelsea. High expectations and high expenditure means a low tolerance for poor results. "Now we need to beat Cluj," he said after drawing with Bordeaux on Wednesday night. "But if I thought my players did not have the...

    Assisted Suicide

    This has been well covered in the press recently, mainly due to the case of the 23 year old who was paralysed playing rugby. His view was that he was worthless or not complete, he actually attempted to kill himself without success, until finally his parents took him to Switzerland where he was...

    Orange, stick to mobile phones.....

    and leave the attempted social engineering to the BBC. That advert which involves the unlikely combination of Busta Rhymes and volunteer work is the most pathetic attempt to portray Britain's 'multi-cultural' youth as a cool but caring body of misunderstood young saints. The girls in that ad...

    Sir Alex Ferguson's relationship with Cristiano Ronaldo.

    Likening your guidance, as an employer, to the counsel of a father is a tactic that very few football managers could get away with, but what might sound melodramatic and over-familiar in some cases is perfectly suitable for Sir Alex Ferguson's relationship with Cristiano Ronaldo. "If you are...

    Sir Alex Ferguson

    It's not often that a manager can switch to good, old-fashioned 4-4-2 and be thought of as a tactical genius, but when Sir Alex Ferguson deployed his troops in a formation that many believed he had turned his back on forever, it was another demonstration of why he's still at the top of his game...

    Pub Quiz Pt. God knows

    As Staind said "It's been a while", but I thought I might as well bring it back, hopefully with no arguments with the answers this time round. Usual rules apply, usual people are banned. :p 1. What did Pandora release when she opened her box or jar? 2. What is Barack Obama's middle name? 3...

    Glasgow Rangers reach the final of the UEFA Cup

    Glasgow Rangers reached the final of the UEFA Cup by defending doggedly against superior opposition and then snatching chances on the break, but last night at The City of Manchester Stadium, those tactics finally blew up in Walter Smith's face. For 72 minutes, Zenit St Petersburg bounced off the...
  11. Ow well.....talk about thread diversion!!

    I attempted to post a genuine news story about a tragic event that happened in China and it was closed....I understand why, but feel that it should be re-posted for people to make serious comments about. I think that any single story or thread appears to be fair game at the moment, no natter if...

    Massive development in the computer world

    For 40 years scientists have attempted to make the theory become reality, and now one has 'stumbled' upon it. What 'it' is, is a little chip that can remember where it left off. I'm not really up with all the computer hardware chat so I'm not too sure how it does it, but basically the features...

    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...

    Liverpool

    Liverpool won the battle for fourth place more comfortably than their 1-0 scoreline suggested with a confident, accomplished victory that will send them to London on a high. The fact that this mighty club was fighting for such a lowly league position is a searing indictement on this season's...

    Quaresma

    While England’s footballers sulk in their sun-loungers, the rest of the continent will be contesting the 2008 European Championships. Iain Macintosh, who still won’t allow the word ‘McClaren’ to be uttered in his home, runs the rule over some of the potential stars of the summer. This week, it’s...

    After the innocent fan was shot today, there've been clashes between fan groups and police all day. AC Milan game was abandoned after 10 minutes when fans attempted to invade the pitch and a police station in Rome is being attacked by hooligans. And UEFA would have you believe we're the problem...
