    Memory Lane: Postponements

    Reading about the debacle of Tuesday's postponement and the uncertainty surrounding the Swindon game has reminded me of the awful feeling of arriving in a strange town after a long journey to be confronted with the grim news that the game you'd anticipated seeing is... off. I remember driving...

    Standing at the cross-roads - read this Ron Martin!

    I think the club is currently at a cross roads. We can either spend money and try and buy our way out of possible trouble with expensive short term solutions, or we can struggle on with what we've got, topped up by loan signings and the occasional more expensive signing when the right player...

    The Foran issue - my take.

    Firstly, I don't know what he has done in the past and frankly I don't care. It's nothing to do with me. But whatever it is, we have to bear in mind that the people paying his wages for whatever reason are happy to not include him in the matchday plans. That was clear from day 1 of this...

    Hamstel Road - "The Greatest Road Ever Built"

    My laddo and I were wandering out of the Kingfisher chip shop near the White Horse the other night and took a stroll down Hamstel Road to get home. He became quite animated when he noted that included by the roadside was a couple of Chinese take-aways, a kebab shop, a corner shop, an...

    Why no Sawyer news!!

    I really thought that the moment we were finished with the Chelsea cup game, some positive news about Sawyer would come from the club. Frustrating as he would be good news - whatever the terms or length of stay!!

    The BAN List

    I think it would be right and proper to have a running ban list to inform us and stop us from asking who is banned and why. 1. The Big Shrimp - Unknown to me why maybe somebody could tell us the length of time 2. Bucket and Spade - Banned for trying to avoid the swear filter - 1 week ban

    Brighton's New Stadium

    Brighton's New Stadium starts on 17th Dec Dream will become a reality when work starts on Falmer Some dates are imprinted in the minds of Albion fans. May 21, 1983, and April 26, 1997, are two obvious examples. Now December 17, 2008, can be added to the list. A quarter of a century after...

    Why Americans Should Never Travel

    Taken from another site: I had someone ask for an aisle seats so that his or her hair wouldn't get messed up by being near the window. A client called in inquiring about a package to Hawaii. After going over all the cost info, she asked, "Would it be cheaper to fly to California and then take...

    Stockport bargain fares £16

    STOCKPORT AWAY SATURDAY 17th January 2009 This has also been posted on the Away Travel forum but as this is possible the most ideal rail trip of the season thought worth posting here as well. I know it's 12 weeks away, but I've explained at length the fare structure, and as allways, if you...

    Mildenhall MOM? - Absolutely - here's why.

    So we have had debates on whether Mildenhall was a good keeper or not, better than Flahavan or not and now whether he was MOM against Hereford or not. Well, I can sort of see both sides here. Often you hear someone talk about a "Man of the Match" performance and this is where a player...

    The big question facing Portsmouth

    With an FA Cup and back-to-back top ten finishes in the Premier League supported by a raft of promising summer signings, the big question facing Portsmouth this season is whether or not they have what it takes to break into the private party at the top of the table. Are they good enough yet to...

    A genuine question for the doom and gloom brigade - why do you do it?

    I'm not addressing this question to those who have a few specific concerns about the current goings on (or lack thereof) at the club. This is to the people who were moaning while we played our seventh ever season of second tier football. The ones who followed us to the Millenium Stadium for our...

    Today's Echo

    all about Darryl. Only been offered a one-year deal and not sure if he'll sign. He knew we were signing another keeper to replace Collis, so not worried about that, just the length of the deal and so on.

    Why complain

    I dont understand some of our fans, it seems that unless we are hammering teams 5-0 every week, they sit and wallow in depression and moan about everything from Ron Martin to the length of the grass at Roots Hall. Last night, we showed that we can accept defeat gracefully. We werent ready to...

Here is the last trailer for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull before it hits the screens in...
