    Slipperduke Review of 2009

    Welcome, my very dear friends, to a very special presentation. It's that time of year again, you see. A chance to sift through the wreckage of twelve months of English football, to reward the noble and to eviscerate the terrible. Bigger than the Ballon D'or, more prestigious than the PFA, these...

    Working For a ***** Company

    As some of you will know, I work for a Rescue & Recovery Company which is not your average 9-5 sort of job. Most though not all who do this job expect long hours, all weather conditions and sometimes, the very real risk of serious injury or even death. It's the nature of the job (considered in...

    X-Files Special: The Teflon Ron

    Reading through many of the posts regarding our current financial woes, one thought has struck me over and over again: How the hell does Ron Martin do it? Mr Martin has been proven to be a liar. That’s a fact that cannot be disputed. I was thinking of prefacing that with an ‘IMHO’, but I...

    Trouble in Toon

    Believe it or not, a lot of Newcastle United fans were philosophical about their relegation at the end of last season. They recognised that you cannot run a football club as appallingly as Freddie Shepherd and Mike Ashley had without inviting serious consequences into your frontroom for dinner...

    Summer Madness

    Was football just waiting for me to go on holiday before it got interesting? I left for the sun-bleached Spanish countryside on the morning after the Confederations Cup Final and, no sooner had my budget airliner wobbled onto Alicante's dusty runway than the transfer market exploded. Every trip...

    Ron's Blog 3/7/09

    Chairman's Blog I promised to let you have my thoughts upon my “likes and dislikes of the football industry”. I can sum this up in one four letter word beginning with f… yes you’ve got it FANS! My immediate thought is that the most likeable part of football is winning. However on reflection...
  9. Calm Down!

    Did southend fans used to suffer these regular collective outbreaks of negative hysteria in pre-internet days? Have we suddenly all developed the memory span of a goldfish or do we just like a good old moan much better than a bit of patience and perspective. In the 2 years I've been on SZ...

    Rafa Should Sign Owen

    Today, more than ever, we need to understand the importance of recycling. We live in a world of diminishing resources, held together by the discredited remains of unbridled capitalism. Only through use and re-use of our assets, can we live greener, happier lives. All the more reason, therefore...

    Ancelotti Needs Time

    Roman Abramovich has made his decision. Now let's see if he'll stick with it. The appointment of Carlo Ancelotti as his fifth manager in under two years may have been met with a mixed response from the fans, but the identity of the man is less important than the duration of his tenure. Chelsea...

    Toon Need Three Years

    Here on Tyneside, the hangovers are just beginning to clear. Sunday night may have been spent at the bar, defiantly pledging allegiance to the cause, but Monday morning saw the fuzzy-headed realisation that there will be no more trips to Liverpool or Arsenal for a while. Instead of Premier...

    Adebayor Needs Arsenal

    Do you think Emmanuel Adebayor realises that he may have brought all this upon himself? It always amazes me when footballers stand in front of the cameras and tell the world that their manager must start spending money on better players. They never seem to comprehend, even for a moment, that...

    History Will Reward Liverpool

    This week, a friend of mine bound for pastures new bestowed upon me her collection of old football magazines. I can't begin to explain how exciting this is to someone like me. You see, my friend's magazine collection is taller than her and it stretches back through the years to historic...

    Tommy Black

    Barnet have run out of patience with the fat lazy git already! He's been released after another poor display yesterday it's been announced on their website. He started 5 games for Barnet in his month there and was substituted in all but 1 of them. So this season he's managed to get bombed...
  17. so how do you feel about Barney and Dougies contribution to the season ?

    must say I have lost patience - would rather see a youth start that have to watch either one of these two limp around and go home early

    How Patient Is Ron..

    This has been on my mind and many of yours im sure...how patient is ron when it comes to poor results and wielding the axe on managers. Its clear to see tilly has bought great amount of sucsess to this club, and ron has cashed in on this and rightly so. And im sure he has built a good...

    EPL Half-Term Reports Pt II

    Bolton - Not one of our most popular pupils, this one. Prone to fits of violence and if there's a ruckus in the playground, you'll invariably find him at the centre of it. That said, he has settled into his work better this term and is beginning to achieve some reasonable grades. A bit more...

    I played the new Pro Evo on the PS3 last night...

    Not very good, is it? As a die hard Pro Evo fan, it seemed fundamentally the same as the version of the game I bought on the PS2 4 years ago. But with slightly delayed controls. And a lack of speed. And a ref who sent you off for a slight "X" tackle. And with the ability to do short passes...
