  1. Remarkable occurence

    Just wondered if anyone can think of anything to compare with last night’s line-ups ? For Southend United,our 2 strikers had previously played 25 mins in total. Also for us,the 2 central defenders marking them had played a total of 236 games.

  2. People moaning

    What really ****es me off is people complaining about the the present situation in the UK / world today. When you ask them who you voted for in the Gen Election, they reply they did not vote. I know it's hard to find a party for some of us but if you don't vote (people died for this right)...

    The Wrexham match this Saturday

    The Zone thrives on personalities and the alternative viewpoint, Ian_the_Girth is marking the Prediction League with his own personality and his own bizarre predictions. This Saturday he has predicated that the Wrexham v Maidstone match will be postponed and backed it with his wildcard (he must...

  4. Zonal marking ...

    Zonal marking backfires so often I really can't see why anyone entertains the idea. With zonal marking, rather than stick to a player, you guard a certain zone. The six-yard box, when defending a corner, comprises of three or four zones in which defenders will position themselves. If the ball...

    Tonight, I have finally given up on the gaffer.

    Ok here goes, it will be based purely on emotion and how I feel right now - I often try and wait '24 hours' for the dust to settle and allow myself to calm down but tonight I am ashamed to see me team conceed 5 goals at home to Dagenham and Redbridge who effectively are a non league club. We...

    Why can't we defend set pieces?

    We've now conceeded four goals this season -two each in our last two away matches-all from set pieces and not one goal from open play. So why can't we defend from set plays? According to PB on the OS:- “It’s very disappointing because we’ve given them all the instructions...

    Why my day at wembley was magical

    Ok here goes, in reply to the quite frankly OTT reaction to losing a cup final we had done amazingly well to get to let alone win the thing and some seemingly deflated people who had ridiculous expectations of the day. Awoken at 7:30 by my Dad banging on the front door singing wembleeeee...

  8. Dickinson's Role

    CP said something on the radio yesterday, he said that Dickinson is one of our most inconsistent players, on his day he can be brilliant, but on the other days he won't win anything all game, there is no middle ground with him. I agree with this 100%, I also think the people defending him when...

    Question If you scored at Roots Hall......

    how would you celebrate? I had a dream last night that I scored at Roots Hall. We had Wycombe and Kevin Betsy was marking me. The ball came over and went over everyone. James Walker who seemed to have joined us back on loan played in a poor cross and I outjumped a packed Wycombe defence to...

    Damn You, Bullard!

    Rest assured, Jimmy Bullard's goalscoring celebrations will be the water-cooler topic of conversation this morning. Bright, funny and naughty. It was physical comedy at its best. But did the tousled cockney give a moment's thought to the floodgates that his finger-pointing may have poked open? I...

    Wenger's Bar

    I'm afraid I won't be writing a column this week, or indeed ever again. Yep, I'm hanging up my presspass and shutting my laptop for the final time. I'm off to France, you see. Arsene Wenger's assertion that he learned everything he needed to know about football in a pub gave me food for thought...
