    Riley Wrecks Chelsea

    What is it about Liverpool - Chelsea? For the second year running the game was decided by the mistakes of a referee. Last year it was Rob Styles who gave Chelsea a penalty so soft that it was bullied at kindergarten, this year it was Riley who sent Frank Lampard off for the kind of routine 50-50...

    Rafa's Not Keane On Robbie

    As a GBP20m striker, failing to make the starting line-up is disappointing. Being repeatedly substituted on the odd occasion that you do is even worse. But the nadir of Robbie Keane's short and unhappy time on Merseyside must surely be the indignity of being kicked off the bench in favour of...

    Chelsea fan's preview

    If everyone's stopped laughing now, thought you just might like to read this preview from CFC.net, SZ gets a credit - oh, and their forums are still all down! Contributed by Rowan Farnham-Long • 13th January, 2009 • 180 views Discuss 'THE END IS NIGH…SOUTHEND THAT IS' on...

    All I Want For Christmas...

    All I Want For Christmas Is.... Cristiano Ronaldo - A move to Real Madrid Santa Claus will get a distinct case of deja-vu when he opens young Cristiano's letter and sees his request scrawled out in red felt-tip pen. Didn't he send that last year? Anyone who thinks that Ronaldo wants to stay at...

    It's only going to get worse...

    ...well it MIGHT do since we have games coming up thick and fast, our team isn't functioning as a unit, we have no quality on the bench to shake things up and so many of our better quality loanees have returned to their clubs (even if in some cases this might not be for too long). We certainly...

    Scolari Rattled

    Luiz Felipe Scolari may not be delivering the goods on the pitch, but off it he remains as dramatic as ever. In a chaotic post-match press conference, he demanded an apology from referee Mike Dean for Arsenal's opening goal and appeared to hint at a conspiracy against his team. A consummate...

    Question Interactive Novel Writing

    Ok, bit of a weird one this. I have here the first 1,500 words of a story, battered out in an afternoon to no distinct end or conclusion. It's a first draft, it hasn't been polished or checked and, critically, it doesn't have a direction. I was thinking of a British version of Lost/Journey To...

    Rafa's Poisonous Glow

    There is a frog in Central America, the strawberry poison dart frog, that is born bright red as a warning to predators of the poison that lurks in its blood stream. It is not the only creature whose colour signifies danger. Certain snakes, insects and the oft-spotted Rafa Benitez all share the...

    Angels and Demons

    Little snippet of a trailer for this film http://angelsanddemons.msn.com/default.aspx?mid=en-GB&source=msnuk#/home/ I know a lot of people weren't too impressed with the Da Vinci Code, and to be fair, I thought the book was better than the film, but this one, which is by way of a prequel...

    Arsenal Lose, Four-All

    Arsene Wenger stared down his inquisitor, apparently caught between contempt and fury. A 4-4 draw at home to Tottenham, under any circumstances, is a poor result, but to be asked where he thought he, "lost the game," seemed to be pushing it a little. "We did not lose," he said slowly. "I must...

    Young Guns Hit Five

    There is a swagger about Arsenal in Europe this year. Since the inception of the Champions League, the Gunners have struggled to take their domestic form with them when they go to the airport, reaching the final just once and crashing out early every other year. In that same time Manchester...

    The Kids Are More Than Alright

    Arsene Wenger stared down his inquisitor and smiled. Just half an hour after his young Arsenal side had demolished Sheffield United by six goals, the old quote, "You can't win anything with kids," had been offered up to him. "These players," he said levellely, "do not play like kids." They...

    Goal line Technology??

    In the light of the the Watford v Reading game at the weekend are you for or against goal line Technology?? Surely anything that will lead to fair decisions, help the decision-makers, and stop doubts and controversy has to be a good thing? It works in other sports. Ok, that's not what football...

    Scolari Still Not Happy

    Under ordinary circumstances with an ordinary manager, a 4-0 victory in the Champions League might be considered worthy of celebration. However, it is rapidly becoming apparent that Luiz Felipe Scolari is very far from ordinary. "We did not play very well," he complained afterwards. "We made...

    Trio Walcott!

    Call off the search and return the helicopters back to base. The England team, missing since the summer of 2004, have been found alive and well in Zagreb. After what had seemed like an eternity of dour, artless whimpering, the three lions found their voice and roared back into life against...

    Tilson, brilliant one minute poor the next!

    He really is so inconsistent with his decision making. I think even people like Yorkshire Blue would deep down admit that it was a blatant couple of mistakes replacing Flahavan with Mildenhall and releasing Gary Hooper to run riot on League 1 then bringing in Furlong and Red Rum. Yet on the...

    Ron Martin - the statement

    Right, let's clear a few things up straight away - Contrary to popular belief, I haven't been avoiding the subject all day - quite the opposite, I’ve been itching to get on here and finally say my piece. Truth is, I too lost out on a lot of work this morning, and the meeting was over 2 1/2...

  20. SUFC - heading in the right direction

    Amidst all the current transfer uncertainty, I'm going to stick my neck out and say I think our club has got a clear idea of where its going. At the end of last season we had a first XI who were good but not quite good enough plus an assortment of fringe players who were either past their best...
