    Rioting in London over the last few night

    Surprisingly, I can't see any discussion on the rioting that's gone on in Tottenham, Enfield and now south of the river over the last few nights.

    Last's night Echo! West Ham fan car

    Page 2, West Ham "fan" car is vandalised. Anti West Ham slogans and "SUFC" were sprayed on the car, the plate has a West Ham badge but the owner is a Sheffield United fan and hasn't changed the plate after buying the car second hand 10 years ago (??). The police are appealing for witnesses.

    Re: Prospects - Time to make a stand

    Re: Prospects - Time to make a stand So what with the Echo article the other week, it appears Prospects are again playing hard ball. You can in a way see their point, failed completions etc, but as a local business and not a private site for personal gain. Surely it is in their interest to go...

    The Pub

    Not this on-line pub but "the" English pub. RIP? I guess most of you guys visit the hostelry occasionally. For how long is that going to be possible other than via faceless characterless town centre mega-pubs? There was a programme on the radio last night about locals taking over their own...

    Question Self Sufficiency

    As you will see, I am a newbie to forum posting. In the glorious past I have been happy just keeping up on games, results and news as it happened, but the only good thing ,from my point of view, about the last year is that I have felt the desire to bond with fellow fans (as well as vent my...

    An Obituary

    Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as: - Knowing when...

  18. Thrills, Spills and Unpaid Bills - The League One Review Part One

    So, another season bites the dust and it’s all over bar the fighting at the Wembley mud bath. As ever, ten months of football has served up more twists, turns and travesties than a Mail on Sunday honey trap and hopefully this should spread some light on the season just gone. Norwich Starting...
