    Champions League Reports

    Apologies, I've been rushed off my feet this week. Here's both games for you. Is it so inconceivable that Arsenal could end this strangest of seasons as Champions of Europe? Arsene Wenger described his side as 'super-outsiders' before the first leg of their clash with Villarreal, but even after...

    The Apprentice - week 1

    Whoever the 16th person was who "bottled it" before the tv stage, he enjoyed more air time than the majority of those on the men's team - Howard excepted. Tonight was all about the meltdown in the girls' team. Stepping up to the plate in week 1, Mona (surely the a and n are the wrong way round?)...

    Who Didn't Make It Into Work Today?

    I didn't. I got to the nursery to drop my son off only for it to be closed. The nursery is at the top of a hill, and my car nearly didn't make it. Thankfully my wife works nearby so I popped in and took her 4x4 home. I can usually work from home, but it seems too many people are trying to do...
  4. 1 million in negative equity

    this morning the bank of england has warned that 1 million homes could fall into negative equity and also predict that values could decrease by a further 15%. my view is simple, the more snatch backs which go to auction will result in property prices falling further than 15%,i reckon it will...
  5. money meltdown !!!!

    what can anyone say? the so called leaders of the world have allowed people to spend spend spend without the brakes being applied,we all will have to foot the bill one way or another. george bush wanted the sub prime market with loony labour only too happy to join in with the...
  6. platini and the credit crunch

    platini has now stated new rules may be put in place to curb clubs from losing their identity,look at arsenal managed by a frenchman with most of the squad overseas players. personally it should be a max of 5 overseas players per matchday squad thus allowing homegrown talent to shine. a...
  7. sub prime market !!!

    the yanks allowed banks ect to borrow large sums of cash to poor payers and surprise surprise the bad payers defaulted leaving a trillion pound mortgage debt . greedy bankers from all corners of the world gleefully ploughed cash into this mad system ,lending to all and sundrie with no...

    Shambles at St James

    Kevin Keegan has gone, Mike Ashley is going and the Toon Army can no longer be relied upon to fund the senseless destruction of their football team. Newcastle United are in meltdown, slumped near the bottom of the Premier League and now, thanks to this lacklustre defeat at the hands of...
  9. Economic effect on building of new ground

    In these uncertain financial times how hard is it getting to be to borrow the money for our new ground. A big sponsership deal must be harder to get in the future with no rbs. Seat for life?? hard to get a mortgage for a house let alone an unbuilt football ground. Starting to worry about...

    Fear The Andorrans!

    The time for talking is over. Platitudes have no place on the pitch, especially when the going gets as tough as it will on Saturday night. Fabio Capello's England will be right up against it when they travel to Spain to face the butchers, bakers and candlestick-makers of Andorra's national...

    Freddy - "I could have returned to Blues"

    I know he's strictly speaking an ex-Shrimper but Freddy Eastwood was apparently close to coming back to us according to the Echo today I don't think this is anything we didn't already know and distinctly remember the Zone going into meltdown :D

    Michael Ballack and Andreiy Shevchenko

    After a distinctly underwhelming first season in English football, Michael Ballack and Andreiy Shevchenko were derided as hugely expensive flops, but yesterday, they gave Chelsea a real chance of winning their third title in four years. If they do, it will be the most extraordinary and...

    Frank Rijkaard

    It's a sign of the times that two teams placed third in their domestic leagues can be led by managers under intense media pressure, but Barcelona's visit to Gelsenkirchen, home of Schalke 04, saw two halves of football that went a long way to explaining why. Frank Rijkaard has come in for...
  14. What a difference a day makes...

    24 Hours ago Hooper had departed, the Eastwood rumour was quashed and it appeared that we were in meltdown. No striking options bar a new boy with no clear sign on the horizon. At this moment, we've seen what Barnard is capable of, have beaten arguably the 2nd best side in this league (Behind...
  15. How Good Do You Feel ?

    Forty years of visiting Roots Hall (on and off) and the greatest night ever - and in centenary year. Not much voice left today but can't wipe the smile off my happy face. However cynical you may sometimes get about football the Southend United players showed something absolutely special...

    Leeds away....

    Apologies if there is another thread on this but.... Just got my ticket and the shop said with some assurance that our allocation of 1700 was virtually sold out. She had about 30 to 40 in her hand and she said that's it. If true that's astounding. 1700 to make a 500+ mile round trip is...

    Slow News Day

    Balls Oooooooh, a story about now it's March we start playing with white footballs again and an analysis of our record with the fluoro yellow one, I cannot contain my excitement. Lucky the FLP websites are down for maintenance from 6pm tonight otherwise I think ours would go into meltdown...

    Plea to SZ Admin

    Please can you bar any further threads on this topic for a while please, it is now boring in the extreme. I am also advised that the phone lines at the Samaritans are on meltdown. Thanks

    On this critical day

    ...for all the clubs in crisis. Particularly poor old Newton Heath. Surely I am not the only SUFC supporters whose heart bled when they heard of the take over of this fine old munificent club that could even lead to its meltdown. My heart bleeds for them and their supporters. The pubs and clubs...
