  1. Tilson Consulting -

    As many of you know I represent (Sir, tbc) Steve Tilson in his consultantcy role. You may know that recently Steve got the call from one of the larger northern clubs to come and see if he could supply some of the Tilson magic before their season peters out. In particular the manager up there...

    Fergie Must Quit

    I have a dream. I have a dream of Rome, May 27. I see Rio Ferdinand lifting the Champions League trophy, I see Wayne Rooney throwing his shirt into the crowd, but most of all, I see Sir Alex Ferguson leaning into a camera crew and, above the roar of the crowd, giving them the scoop of their...

    End of Season Awards Dinner

    Well, all thanks to Tinkerbell, what a great night we had at the Cliffs last night. She'd got a whole table and managed to get Steve Mildenhall and his missus with us as well - what a top, top bloke. Thoroughly enjoyable evening, think we all behaved ourselves and didn't disgrace ourselves at...

    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...

    Update on Cinderella

    I hope you like this, and it's not too ancient a one! Cinderella is now 95 years old. After a fulfilling life with the now dead prince, she happily sits upon her rocking chair, watching the world go by from her front porch, with a cat named Bob for companionship. One sunny afternoon...

    How to start a fight

    My wife sat down on the couch next to me as I was flipping channels. She asked, 'What's on TV?' I said, 'Dust.' And then the fight started... ------------------------------------------------------------------------- My wife was hinting about what she wanted for our upcoming...
  7. Pre-Match Thread Hartlepool away - predictions

    I'm going for a 1-1 draw in a dour game played in cold conditions with a strong S.W. wind blowing (weather forecast tonight) with barney scoring our goal in front of a 3,700 crowd (80 blues fans in attendance)

    Clifftown road & the advance of technology

    When one wants to have a moan at modern technology and BW in particular, (I missed 20mins at the start of the match on Saturday and still can't manage to here Feds interview today), reading the article about our Cup match against Worksop in 1922 makes you understand how fortunate we are today. I...

    Chelsea Fall To Resurgent Roma

    This wasn't in the script. Chelsea were supposed to go to Italy, ease their way past a struggling Roma side and secure their place in the knock-out stages with two games to spare. The side that had suffered five consecutive defeats and were hovering above Serie A's relegation zone were supposed...

    Shepherd's Bush Shrimper's Scunny Report

    Apologies for the delay with this one. Makes less depressing reading than reports of our humping in Bristol though.... It’s fair to say that the North Lincolnshire and East Yorkshire region is not a happy hunting ground for us Shrimpers. We very rarely seem to pick up points at the lovely...

  12. cockles is a dad

    For those of you who know him my chubby friend ''cockles is back'' has finally become a father, thus blowing all those rumours about his sexuality to bits.

    Wind and penalties!

    Supposing yesterday the wind was strong enough to keep blowing the ball off the spot (or indeed any other set piece). What options are open to the referee? Is another player allowed to hold the ball still?

    The fbm report - Forest

    A few gremlins with my PC at home means I won't be able to put last night's report on the front page. So here it is: BATTLING BLUES DENIED BY FOREST FIRE Southend put on their best performance for some time against Nottingham Forest at Roots Hall on Tuesday night, but it was not enough to...

    Sympathy For The Devil

    Perhaps we’ve all been a bit too hard on Peter Scudamore this week. Entire legions of the press corps have mercilessly opened fire on the EPL’s Chief Executive in the past five days after he announced that the 20 top flight teams would be slipping on the thigh-high boots and whoring themselves...
  16. RIP Sir Edmund Hillary

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/7182376.stm absolute legend and his achievement, over 50 years ago is staggering and mind blowing... probably the last of the great explorers of our world. RIP

    First test v Sri Lanka at Kandy

    I hear Agnew reckons there will be a fair bit in it for Harmison or Anderson, based on the nets. Having been out to the middle this lunchtime I'm not so sure. Whilst the square is nice and green and the nets had a green tinge, the pitch they are going to use doesn't. I haven't been able to do...

    Amazing facts, nobody believes

    Following on from the handshakes thread, I once heard that you know everyone in the world through 5 people. Not hard to imagine looking at the thread. 'Know' of course means 'seen' or had some kind of contact with. It's one of theose mind blowing things that nobody believes. Here is another...
  20. Suffolk Shrimper In Dorset

    A New Dawn

    I wake early. The early morning mist of a Summer’s day is readily burnt by the glowing yellow sun rising over south Suffolk’s gently rolling fields. Next doors much despised cockerel, 300 yards away and out of rifle range, announces the event with gusto. I amble downstairs and let out Shrimper...
