    The Great Technology Debate

    Its not just transfer rumours which get out of control in the ‘silly’ season but also always appearing from the shadows again is the subject of TV referees or a 3rd eye if you prefer. A referee sitting high in the sky surrounded by as many tvs as your local Dixons and making the call on a...

    Promotion And The Championship

    If we were not to get promoted with the next 3 seasons would you be angry and disappointed? Do you think we could survive with the lack of financial clot we seem to have compared to some of the ‘big boys’ of the Championship? With the new stadium now finally already to go do you think waiting...

    David James

    It is a testament to David James' resilience that he has worked so hard to overcome his injury in time for today's FA Cup Final, but the lure of the big game is only part of his motivation. James, for all of his heroics this season, is more aware than most that when it comes to the FA Cup Final...

    Chelsea v Liverpool

    Frank Lampard has never been the most popular of footballers, certainly not with fans of other clubs, but you'd have to have a heart of stone not to stand up and applaud his astonishing composure after a emotional night at Stamford Bridge. Seconds after seeing a goal they were already busy...

    The Title Race.

    If you had any plans for this Saturday evening, I'd start cancelling them now because this title race is going all the way to the wire. Manchester United's struggles against Brad Friedel Rovers, sorry, Blackburn Rovers brought back memories of their 1995 visit to Upton Park when Ludek Miklosko's...

    Semi-match report

    I thought I may as well put my thoughts on the game up as I've barely been on since the game. As I mentioned before this match, the form of the home team compared with that of the away team and the relative league standings pointed only one way: Away win. Sure enough, the form book wasn't...
  7. Is this Tilson's best season as a manager?

    A strange topic you may ask considering we won League One and the play offs under his reign but we were helped by having a certain Freddy Eastwood. Having a striker like that could have turned any number of average teams into promotion candidates. This season there has been no Eastwood and he...

    Sun Benitez

    Liverpool finally joined up with their compatriots in the last eight of the Champions League on Wednesday morning and sent out an ominous message to the rest of Europe in the process. Inter Milan will complain bitterly about another harsh red card, but the truth is that they have been absolutely...

    Cheltenham Thoughts

    Although it was encouraging to see Alan Wright play for them, thereby making our centre-backs and goalkeeper look enormous, it couldn't hide the fact that our defensive frailties again cost us two points tonight. Cheltenham were inept going forward and the only time we ever looked in trouble was...

    The fbm report - Millwall

    Folks, As I'm not quite sure what time I'll get back tonight in order to post this on the front page, it is not fair to deny fbm his readership - or to deny you his pearls of wisdom - so here is the fbm report for the Millwall game, which will hopefully go up on the front page tonight. * * * *...

    My Match Ratings

    I don't usually do this after games but i thought i would show how i rated the players' performances last night... Flahavan- 6- In all fairness he had nothing to do, there two shots on target resulted in two goals. Made a couple of good punched clearances and a couple of good catches...

    I am so angry with Tilson on three counts of very poor judgement!

    Letting goal machine Hooper out, unforgivable! Replacing Hammel with a bloke that can't defend, Mulgrew, unforgivable! Bringing in a target man that can't jump, not mobile and a poor first touch, Revell, unforgivable! 3 Blatant managerial mistakes that will spoil our season in a crap league...

    Sympathy For The Devil

    Perhaps we’ve all been a bit too hard on Peter Scudamore this week. Entire legions of the press corps have mercilessly opened fire on the EPL’s Chief Executive in the past five days after he announced that the 20 top flight teams would be slipping on the thigh-high boots and whoring themselves...

    Tonight..

    One of the best peformances so far this season.. If i dare say, since Man utd at home. Anybody else think tonight was pretty similar in some ways? Right, first of all the ratings - Darryl - I love you darrly, but you made 2 mistakes tonight that could have cost us the game, dropping the ball...

    Keep Maher out campaign..

    Thanks to John for locking the other thread for poor spelling mistakes in the title.. so here is a new one. I cannot see why Maher should be recalled, so this is the Keep maher out, and keep Bailey and Macca in campaign.. a great midfield pairing in the middle! All we need now is a decent winger!

    Today's Officials

    Some of you how know me will know I've reffed at Senior League Level, so when I am off my seat yelling at the officials, there is a problem. And I think this needs a thread of it's own. Sitting in the Lower South, you don't see everything. Offsides are impossible to call and incidents at the...

    The fbm report - Bristol Rovers

    Neither myself or Matt have had the chance to upload this yet, so I'm putting it on the forum for the moment. BLUES CLUELESS AS ROVERS RETURN WITH POINTS Southend produced one of the worst displays in recent times as they slumped to yet another home defeat – this time to a lowly and very...

    Let's get creative people..

    Ok,i'm looking at today's game thinking why are we not getting chances? When you look across the midfield,we have in fact 3 out of 4 players who have a natural instinct to play a deep defensive role.So that's not good then,there is an imbalance to our play. When our back 4 regain possession...

    Collis - Faultless although didn't have to do much. Good kicking to boot as well today - 7 Hammell - Defended reasonably, passed well but poor crossing - 6 Barrett - At fault for the goal, another couple of mistakes also - 6 P. Clarke - Defended strongly, good blocks and decent distribution...
