  1. SUFC Forever

    Johnny French

    A Nottingham Forest supporting friend of mine (who is also a collector of sports memorabilia, autographs etc.) recently sent me a handwritten letter of former Forest and SUFC player Johnny French. Think it must have been written many years ago (it is un-dated) and is in response to questions...

    Even I Can't Back The Gunners

    As anyone who recalls my contributions to 'The Bet Shop Boys' will know, I'm not much of a gambler. Instead of always betting on the likeliest outcome, I have a reckless and self-destructive habit of only making predictions that might make me seem really clever. Sometimes, like the time I backed...
  4. Newcastle Suffer the Greatest Loss

    Newcastle United have no manager, an owner that doesn't want them, a vastly inflated wage bill and a squad on the verge of mutiny, yet that was all put into perspective this morning with the news that Sir Bobby Robson passed away. He was 76. A true icon of the game, his playing success was...

    Pre-Match Thread Canvey Island

    It's not very often that I find myself in the position being a Southend fan but I do love the once a year "cup final" that Southend find themselves in against Canvey Island FC, I adore their 12 fans still riding the crest of the FA Trophy win at Villa Park 8 years ago firmly believing that they...

    Ron's Blog 3/7/09

    Chairman's Blog I promised to let you have my thoughts upon my “likes and dislikes of the football industry”. I can sum this up in one four letter word beginning with f… yes you’ve got it FANS! My immediate thought is that the most likeable part of football is winning. However on reflection...

    For those of you that have Setanta

    For those of you that subscribe to Setanta I read in one of the papers this morning that they may be forced to call in the administrators this week. Apparantly, they are struggling to pay their annual £200 million rights bill for FA Cup, England and Premiership games furthermore, it seems they...

    Ancelotti Needs Time

    Roman Abramovich has made his decision. Now let's see if he'll stick with it. The appointment of Carlo Ancelotti as his fifth manager in under two years may have been met with a mixed response from the fans, but the identity of the man is less important than the duration of his tenure. Chelsea...

    My new favourite beer

    http://stoneandwood.com.au/blog/draught-ale/ Not bothered about all the geeky brewing stuff (I'll leave that to the CAMRA members), just suffice to say it tastes absolutely lovely and got me completely b*******ed drunk watching the FA Cup Final last night.
