    Orient Report

    Having now cancellled the Echo thought I would have a peak at their website and thought their report on Friday's game interesting. "Blues enjoy 30-0 win" and so it went on... "Lee Barnard claimed the match ball after scoring all 30 goals in the Blues' convincing win over local rivals Leyton...

    It's A Yeung Man's Game

    Carson Yeung's imminent takeover of Birmingham City is a watershed moment for English football. For the first time in history, half of the Premier League is in the hands of overseas investors. Ten clubs, ten multi-millionaire owners, but does Yeung really have a chance of success in the...
  3. Who will come in for Tilson this summer ?

    Plenty of bigger clubs within commuting distance that will either be relegated or have had a poor season by their standards and be looking for a new manager. I predict; Norwich - will really go for it this time, they wanted him a couple of years ago. Charlton - in severe financial trouble so...

    blustery day - big pitch, decent stadium 12 thousand smiling northerners and a really annoying announcer shouting and screaming in the way too loud pa... they were trying really hard with give away season tickets and deck chairs on the pitch and each players soponsor announced - and going on...

    Prove You're Not A Cheat

    As Cristiano Ronaldo lay on the frozen turf at St James Park watching a chorus line of tiny birds circling his head, I wonder if he had time to ponder the irony of his situation. After years spent convincing referees that he had been fouled when he hadn't, he now finds himself being cynically...

    Question Valentine Day's Tickets ~ Potential massacre!!!

    I just love the innovative ideas the guys at SUFC come up with for increasing the crowds and raising extra cash for the club...... The latest is the 'VALENTINE'S DAY SPECIAL'. How it works is any season card holder can purchase an additional ticket for their loved one at half-price! WOW what...

    Media Catch On To Redknapp's Failings - At Last

    It's taken about 10 years but finally someone working in the media has articulated the same opinion I have held about professional cockney loudmouth Harry Redknapp. From today's Mirror. I watched an old fella suffer badly the other night. My 71-year-old father-in-law has followed Burnley...

    Score It, O'Hara!

    Someone really needs to find out what Harry Redknapp is saying at half-time, because if we can patent and market it, we'll make a fortune. After an abject first half at White Hart Lane, Tottenham burst into life in the second, scoring four goals in twenty minutes, helped in no small way by the...

    SZ's Southend United Hall of Fame - Chris Powell

    Fighting Talk on Radio 5 Live has a segment called Defending the Indefensible where pundits or comedians (note Mark Lawrensen the two are separate) are given an outrageous statement that they have to somehow justify for 30 seconds of airtime. Now I've always fancied my chances of playing devil's...

    Robson-Kanu on Blues World

    Doesn't sound too convincing looks like he wants to go back to Reading and fight for his place. So maybe not one to get on a permenant. Depends what Reading say to him when he gets back I suppose.

    Back In Business

    The roar, when the whistle finally came, was loud enough to shake the stadium to its foundations. A late Rafael strike and six minutes of injury time almost proved too much for the Arsenal fans who were in anguish at the prospect of another late capitulation, clutching their heads in their...

    Why The Laughter Has To Stop

    It's very rare that you can brutally assess and pass judgement on a football club, as this column did with Tottenham Hotspur two weeks ago, and still be able to come back one match later with plenty of new material. Tottenham, though, are a glorious curiosity for the neutral, but an excuse to...

    The Kids Are More Than Alright

    Arsene Wenger stared down his inquisitor and smiled. Just half an hour after his young Arsenal side had demolished Sheffield United by six goals, the old quote, "You can't win anything with kids," had been offered up to him. "These players," he said levellely, "do not play like kids." They...

    United's Community Shield victory

    As Dimitar Berbatov's last act for Tottenham Hotspur was to trudge around the pitch with all the speed and urgency of a man who has just left an all-you-can-eat steakhouse with half of the stockroom in his belly, I think we can safely assume that he won't be with the club for very much longer...

    Official Match Thread Wycombe Away

    What do people think the score will be today ? Be nice to get a pretty convincing win under our belts with the first league game just a week away. I'll say 3-1 Bailey, Barnard & Scannell to score, providing that Barney and Scannell play.

    Luiz Felipe Scolari

    If Luiz Felipe Scolari has learned anything in his first month in English football, it's that Sir Alex Ferguson doesn't waste any time in welcoming new rivals to the Premier League. The Manchester United manager's snipe about Chelsea players and their advanced ages came whizzing in under radar...

    A bullet with Avram Grant's name on it.

    He took them to within a slip of the European Cup and a Steve Bennett of the league, but when a bullet with Avram Grant's name on it came whistling in from the Chelsea boardroom it came as a surprise to absolutely no-one. This good, proud man had always been the wrong choice as Jose Mourinho's...

    WIndies v the Convicts

    As uninspiring as England v NZ (again) is, West Indies v Australia produced some enthralling play to show that it is England who are short of inspiration, not the format or the sport. Two years ago this would have been a gigantic mismatch, but the WIndies are a team finally on an upward curve...

    Arsenal v Reading

    Arsenal returned to winning ways at a freezing cold Emirates Stadium with a convincing 2-0 victory over a Reading side who are nose-diving at the worst possible time. Only a combination of fine goalkeeping, desperate clearances and Arsenal's own profligacy prevented this from becoming a...

    Southend "Borough FC"

    No we haven't changed our name, Its my joke on the number of blues connections at Stevenage Borough FC..So with this in mind I took the opportunity of some comps from my mate whos nephew, Isaiah Rankine, has just signed for them, for the game with Forest Green FC on Weds last...Thought it would...
