    European Championship Odds

    I saw in the Metro (I think it was - I was reading the paper of the guy next to me) that Ladbrokes are advertising odds of 9-2 for England to win all their group matches, and also 9-2 for England to reach the final. I'm not a betting man, but those odds don't seem all that generous to me. Given...

    Question Eurovision

    What a load of rubbish that was last night. An instantly forgettable winner, however political a subject it may have been. The inclusion of Australia was farcical. An excellent production by the Swedish, as reasonable a song from us as we've had for many a year and a real change to the voting...

  4. Suffolk Shrimper In Dorset

    1,000 to 1

    Went in to the local bookies (Ladbrokes) on Wednesday and asked for odds on Southend winning the Premiership title by the end of the 2025/26 season. Not surprisingly they didn't have the odds to hand and told me to come back on Saturday. So in I go this afternoon all expectant of odds of...

  5. David Gest

    David Gest sadly passed away today in London Hotel. I really liked him as a celebrity that didn't take himself or other celebrities seriously. He was really funny in the jungle, and Big Brother. Yes he was a bit weird, and had that crazy marriage to Liza Minnelli. In the jungle he would have all...

    John White has a blog!

    Apologies if this is already common knowledge, but it came as news to me. I only stumbled upon it because I was checking out the Zone's latest sponsor and it's at the bottom of the page Who's Woody - is that Wordsworth? Bolger obviously didn't get on with the squad as he alone doesn't seem...

    Johan Cruyff RIP

    Has died aged 68. Didn't know he was ill, wasnt he a heavy smoker? A great footballer in his day I've read so much about how great he was.

    Davis Cup 2016

    Off to a good start this weekend. Well done the team. I couldn't watch the last two sets of the match yesterday because I took my son to his tennis lesson, and then had one myself straight after, but from what I could see (the match was on in the club house) Murray looked out of it in the fourth...

    Not a clever move!!

    Blackpool had to apologise to Bradford City after yesterday's match over their pre-match choice of music. Billy Joel's 'We didn't start the fire' was perhaps a little insensitive in the circustances!

    Messi and Suarez's "Cryuff" penalty: Disrespectful or genius?

    It's caused a lot of debate. Is it disrespectful to the opposition (the score was 3-1 at the time) or creative genius that should be applauded? Of course, nothing against it in the rules. Some have said why didn't Suarez just take it himself, although press today claim that it was supposed to...

  12. O'Sullivan turns down £10,000

    ...for making a maximum break at the Welsh Open Snooker thingy. Apparently it was too cheap. And they say footballers don't live in the real world. £10K is more than most people dream of. If you didn't want it Ronnie, give it to charity (you know, maybe the ones that deal with mental...

  13. Issac Layne

    Was at the Alloa vs. Rangers game on the weekend with hospitality. Speaking to the Alloa board who are convinced they have a great prospect on their hands. Must admit, he didn't shine but how can you if the ball is always pumped up in the air with no support!

    Post-Match Thread and Ratings Scunthorpe United 1- 0 Southend United

    Can't offer up to much at the moment. From the sounds of things we didn't deserve too much out of this game, but maybe if we had nicked the penalty, but not to be. Obviously a very biased ref today.

    Michael Caine's political maxim.

    There was an article in the Times this morning in which Michael Caine said that he didn't trust anyone who was left of Tony Blair or right of David Cameron. Sounds like a sensible political judgement to me.

    Things You've Broken at Home and Got Away With

    Years ago, when I was still at school I had an 18th birthday party in my parents' house. My parents were very sensible and booked into a hotel for the night. That was partly to do with noise, and partly to do with the fact that about 20-30 people stayed over because they had travelled long...

  19. Things you have inadvertently broken at work

    I just opened the main door to the office and the handle came off in my hand :smile: Fortunately it's a double door so I could still get in. Before Christmas, I pressed Ground Floor on the lift, doors closed, lift didn't move, doors opened and displayed an Lift Buggered message - which took...
