    Hooper................is it just me

    Is it just me or does anyone else agree that i can't see what all the fuss is about Hooper, i have seen him play about 10 times now and i have not seen enough to say that we should be chasing after his signature. Granted he has a good touch and has vision, but he goes missing for 80 minutes of...

    Fastest Conquest

    Thought about this the other day, what's the quickest you've managed to administer a snaking to someone after first meeting them? Obviously anything involving a monetary exchange is excluded..... For me it was coincidentally my very first time. Western France, 1991 on holiday with my Dad, his...

    India v Bermuda

    WICKET! Uthappa 3 c Leverock b Jones 2nd over: India 7-1 (Ganguly 0 Sehwag 4) The big man! What a catch! Dwayne 'the rock' Leverock has clung on to an amazing catch at slip, falling away to his left like a huge jelly sliding off a plate he stretched out a hand and plucked the ball from the air...

    Predictions for Stoke

    Without blowing my own trumpet I have lately predicted a 0-1 win over Cardiff and that we would get at least a point against Birmingham. I am going to say we will win 0-2 against Stoke. I also predicted before Christmas that we would turn it round the second half of the season and stay up. I...

    Ipswich pre-match predictions thread

    There seems to be a gust of renewed optimism blowing through the board this week. A decent result at Burnley, positive vibes from Ron at the AGM, a fit bird showing off the stadium plans.. life's good again! So, my predictions for this weekend: 1) Full house at the Hall - approx...

  9. Now for the Title

    Okay we have all celebrated promotion in the last few days but now its time to look ahead to Saturday which will be one of the most important games in our history. We have to win on Saturday, the thought of Col******r winning the title is to horrible to even think about. I remember 1991 when we...
  10. Just Got Back

    after a action packed weekend away in nottingham i have finally arrived back in essex and after missing the game saturday (did i drown my sorrows saturday night!!!) i have popped on here to see what evryone made of the game and from i what i gather it was a nervous performance from...
  11. Just got to Preston after the blackburn v

    Well to start with the Blackpool game. The stadium is completely different to when we last went up there. David webbs comeback and we drew 2-2 scoring in the last minute. What's there at the moment looks quite smart. We were in a temporary stand a la gillingham, but along one side of the...
  12. Todays win......

    We go 1 up through a pen and they have their captain sent off. Should maybe score a couple more goals and push on for a comfortable win? NOT SOUTHEND Made very hard work of what should have been an easyish 3 points. Sat back and played the ball rather worryingly around at the back. Only a...
  13. Swansea Preview

    If you are counting in months then it was just over a bakers ago that the Swans were beaten 4-2 at Roots Hall in what was a League Two encounter and it's been all uphill for both sides since then as they look towards a second successive promotion each. And as 1500 Jacks prepare to take the...

    All info from yesterday !

    After getting up yesterday morning i was counting down the time until i would get to roots hall, i couldn't wait for kick off ! I reached the stadium and was slightly suprised that a vast amount of Col U fans had already flocked into the stadium at an early stage, this added to the atmosphere...

    FOA: a weatherman!

    Whilst I was outside having a quick cigarette i noticed something. Every time I light a cigarette i have to face east to prevent the wind blowing out the blame of my lighter. So the question is... does the wind always blow from the west becasue when I watch the weather reports it appears the...

    Grimsby match & thoughts....

    What a nightmare... we got our tickets pretty late and ended up with a choice of first or last row. I chose last and things were looking good as the hard rain lashed down before kick-off... But we quickly realised that we couldnt see the opposite end of the pitch without ducking down - but...

    Grimsby

    Just arrived home and just feel empty to be honest, a very strange feeling. It was just not our day we had enough opportunities to win this game but we really did not get any breaks of the ball.  Gray had a great chance after Freddy slotted him in, Petts fired just over in the 1st half, we hit...
  18. Help

    OK I've just got a million in the kitty having sold off 3 of my trainees. Basically I'm looking for advice as to where my squad should be strengthened. My 1st XI is made up of: 1 solid keeper 3 excellent defenders 2 solid wingers 1 excellent IM 2 formidable IMs 1 solid striker 1...

    The Longest Day

    Hello all, First comment about the game. Groundhog Day. Played ok for 90 minutes - players blowing out of their backsides in extra time. The first goal scored was always going to be the clincher. Super Cheese - what was he doing? However, the purpose of this topic is to describe the train...
  20. Brits 2005

    Totally blowing my cover and proving that I don't really have any indie-kid cool, but I quite enjoyed the Brits last night. Some good performances. Scissor Sisters were amazing, what a totally camp and over the top perfomance - totally entertaining. I also enjoyed Joss Stone, The Streets, Franz...
