    The fbm view - Canvey

    I'm not going to do a report as such, but will offer just a few comments about tonights performance... if you can call it that having drawn 0-0 against a poor Canvey outfit. This time last year a side containing such stalwart strikers as Billy Paynter and Matt Harrold thrashed Canvey 6-1. We...

    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...

    Glasgow Rangers reach the final of the UEFA Cup

    Glasgow Rangers reached the final of the UEFA Cup by defending doggedly against superior opposition and then snatching chances on the break, but last night at The City of Manchester Stadium, those tactics finally blew up in Walter Smith's face. For 72 minutes, Zenit St Petersburg bounced off the...

    STILL ALL TO PLAY FOR IN SEASIDE STALEMATE Southend will have an uphill task if they are to make Wembley in the play offs this year as an impressive Doncaster outfit held the divisions form team to a goalless draw at Roots Hall this evening. The stadium had a fantatsic atmosphere this...

    Play-Off Omens?

    With us ending up in sixth place, I thought I'd look back through the history books to see how well teams had done in the play-offs from that position. And not too well, I'm afraid to say. In the 21 years of the play-offs up to last season, the team finishing bottom of the play-off group in our...

    Apprentice week 6

    Is about to start! Designing greeting cards for new "occasions" and Kevin and Michael apparently PMs - should be good. Kevin favourite for me to go tonight although really hoping one of the nasty girls go instead.

    Manchester United v Barcelona part 3

    The stage is now set for what we can confidently call, without any fear of exaggeration, the most important English club football match in history. Manchester United's hard-fought progression to the European Cup Final means that, whatever happens tonight, it will be an all-Premier League affair...

  9. Women are Crazy

    Yesterday was Varsity day, where Brighton Uni take on Sussex Uni at sports followed by a monumental **** up that night. Having watched us beat Sussex, me and a few lads watched the football before going out to hit a few bars and then on to a club. A little addition to this story is what...

    Manchester United v Barcelona part 2

    When he looks back on this game, Cristiano Ronaldo’s only consolation will be that at least John Arne Riise’s mistake was worse. Not many gifts get handed out at the Camp Nou, but Gabriel Milito’s decision to wave his hands in front of a second minute corner like a man trying to shake off the...

    Chelsea into the final.

    When Petr Cech acrobatically tipped Steven Gerrard's late shot over the bar, he prevented Chelsea from having to win their second leg 3-0 in order to progress to the Final. When John Arne Riise stooped to head past Pepe Reina, he left the London side needing just a goalless draw to book their...

    Liverpool v Chelsea Champions League

    Tonight, for the third time in four years, Liverpool meet Chelsea in the semi-finals of the Champions League. Football’s most festering rivalry is back and the dirty war has already begun in earnest. There’s something very strange about the relationship between these two teams. They are...

    Arsenal v Liverpool

    Arsene Wenger was left baffled by his team's failure to beat Liverpool in an intruiging contest at The Emirates, but refused to agree that their opponent's away goal made them favourites to progress to the last four. Arsenal certainly had the better of the game, particularly in the second half...

    The Grand Slam

    The tension that has been slowly building all week is now approaching critical mass. The clock is ticking down to Grand Slam Sunday and the mind games have begun in earnest. This is what football is all about and I love it. Mind you, I don’t support one of the big four, so I can settle back and...

  17. The Blue Voice Relocation

    The Blue Voice in my opinion should relocate to the South upper by the corner of the west/south. There are a group of fans there who are loud and on big occasions along with the family stand make a lot of noise. Add to this the blue voice with drums and flags waving i think this location would...

    Sorry Spurs

    Juande Ramos said earlier this week that the clash with PSV Eindhoven would be a barometer of his team’s progress since he took the helm, but if that’s the case then there’s a grim storm on the horizon. Most people put Tottenham’s abysmal showing at St Andrews last weekend down to a hangover...

  20. Ref Watch ..... Friday

    They obviously felt they couldn't give us 5 "first year" refs in a row and have done the next best thing by appointing Russell Booth from Nottingham for only his second game of the season having been out for ages, injured. His other game was cardless, so I guess he's the only League referee not...
