    Shakhtar Uk-reign Supreme

    Shakhtar Donetsk 2-1 Werder Bremen (aet) Adriano, 25 Naldo, 35 Jadson, 97 We've been told for some time that a new footballing power is rising in the east and Shakhtar Dontesk's capture of the UEFA Cup is compelling evidence indeed . The Ukrainian giants, funded by a wealth of gas revenue and...

    SZ's Southend United Hall of Fame - Alan Moody

    Next up for nomination is Alan Moody. The last two nominees, David Crown and Ricky Otto look unlikely to make it into the Hall of Fame (at least on the first ballot), probably because their glittering Southend career's were deemed too short. That is unlikely to keep Alan Moody out. In fact it...

    Furious Phil Unleashes Hell

    Arsenal 2-1 Hull City (Van Persie, 74) (Barmby, 12) (Gallas, 84) Phil Brown's phone will be red hot by now. In one exhilarating ten minute press conference, the furious Hull City manager unleashed a string of attacks aimed at everyone he deemed responsible for his team's exit. He accused Cesc...

    Brave Arsenal Squeeze Through

    Roma 1-0 Arsenal (6-7 on pens) (Juan, 9) We've always known that Arsenal's kids are talented. Now we know that they're brave as well. After an energy-sapping 120 minutes in the Stadio Olimpico, 111 of them played without their single goal safety net, they picked themselves up off the floor and...

    Chelsea, the Irish, and Richie Foran, Richie Richie Foran

    Just back in the land of leprechauns a couple of hours after a great trip. Travelled over in Billy no mates style again for my 5th match of the season, and it was a teeny tiny bit better than the Huddersfield one last time :D Started off Saturday morning leaving Limerick at 4:30 am, for a...

    Interview with an Exile - Part 11: The tables have turned!

    Hi folks, This will be the final Interview with an Exile for Series 1, and I thought I would give some of the people I have cheekily edited on here over the past few months the opportunity to get their own back. So in the series finale, I am answering the questions! Would like to thank...

    Nelson: "Order the signal, Hardy!" Hardy: "Aye, aye sir." Nelson: "Hold on, that's not what I dictated to Flags. What's the meaning of this?" Hardy: "Sorry sir?" Nelson (reading aloud): "'England expects every person to do his or her duty, regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation...

    Battle of the Sitcoms - Second Round Review

    Blackadder continues to blaze a trail in this competition with another thumping victory, elsewhere the battles were much closer with only Father Ted and Only Fools and Horses breaking the 70% barrier, that said we didn't have any real nail biters this time around, with The Vicar of Dibleys 6...

    English players so expensive

    Apologies if I'm being slow and everyone's already aware of this but surely the reason English players are so expensive is that the only clubs that they aspire to be at are Champions League clubs but the only place they are willing to play is in England which happens to be flushed with cash...

    Luiz Felipe Scolari

    Every managerial appointment at every football club in the world carries a certain amount of risk, but the decision to bring in Luiz Felipe Scolari as the new manager of Chelsea is like pouring petrol over a smouldering barbeque. On the face of it, it's a great way to get the fire burning again...

    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...

    Chelsea v Everton

    Chelsea hauled themselves to within two points of Manchester United with a 1-0 victory over Everton that I would be tempted to call dour, if it hadn't have preceded the least informative press conference since Rafa Benitez told us nineteen times that he was concentrating on coaching the team...

    Liptak, Walker, Barnard and Hooper

    Had the good fortune to run into Tilly and Brush at last night's Daggers game. Great blokes the pair of them, and they were more than happy to have a chat. I don't think anything they said was told to me in confidence, so I'm happy to share... On Gary Hooper... T&B were at Dagenham to see him...

    Which part of Roots Hall did you first sit /stand in...

    ...when you first began watching the Blues ?? One of my neighbours is bringing his six year old boy to his first ever live football match on Saturday, and it made me think back to my first ever visit to the Hall ( in 1966 ) v Lincoln City if I remember rightly . I stood with a friend on the...

    Has Fred played his last game for us ?

    Not much on here about Fredi's injury - anyone know how serious it is ? - will he play through the pain barrier if necessary at Plymouth ? We sure missed his presence yesterday

    When Acts of Kindness

    Last night I got to London Bridge for my usual 17.52pm back towards Brigthton. As I put my ticket through the barrier and looked up to Platform 9 it turned out to be a total bun fight due to the cancellation of the previous two Brighton bound trains. I took a picture on my mobile phone as...

    Hangovers!

    Is it me or since I hit the big 40, my ability to drink copious amounts of alchahol like its going out of fashion as resinded into a debarcle! When in my late teens and early twenties, I could quite happily go out any night of the week and get totally sh!tfaced, go to bed and get up for...
