    Fergie Must Quit

    I have a dream. I have a dream of Rome, May 27. I see Rio Ferdinand lifting the Champions League trophy, I see Wayne Rooney throwing his shirt into the crowd, but most of all, I see Sir Alex Ferguson leaning into a camera crew and, above the roar of the crowd, giving them the scoop of their...

    Liverpool Get Their Soul Back

    Never mind about the title, relish the fact that Liverpool have got their soul back. Competitions can come and go, but the spiritual identity of a football club is a rather more permanent prize. On Tuesday night at Anfield, Liverpool probably lost their grip on the title race, dropping two...

    Not So Fab, Lukasz

    Arsenal 1-2 Chelsea Walcott, 18 Malouda, 33 Drogba, 84 The vultures arrived at Wembley expecting to pick the flesh from Petr Cech's reputation, but it was birthday boy Lukasz Fabianski who offered up his own carcass, blundering in the late stages and costing his side a place in the FA Cup...

    Is Ashley The April Fool?

    When the watching world assumes that your latest managerial recruitment is an April Fool's prank, it doesn't exactly bode well for the future. Alan Shearer must have often dreamed about the reaction he would get if he ever slipped into the St James Park hotseat, but I bet he didn't expect...

    Brazil Are Crap

    Ecuador 1-1 Brazil Noboa, 89 Baptista, 73 One of the eternal joys of watching South American football is the sight of those famous yellow shirts buzzing around the pitch, flicking the ball to one another as if 30 yard first time passes were the easiest thing in the world. They play as...
  6. Ref Watch ... Friday night

    Friday night's game sees the appointment of, in my opinion, a very decent referee in Mick Russell, from St Albans. His season has been very much stop-start with at least two breaks for injuries but he has done a couple of games since his latest comeback. A very steady official, this will be...

    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...

    Ha-Ha this is amazing. so i hear (from the powers that be) a few select posters (though i suspect its just the one) have complained about rep comments that i have left recently. rep, what a fantasic invention. a dot on a computer screen, who knew it would shake people up so much? with the...

    Transfer Deadline Day, bit by bit.

    Transfer deadline day is one of the most exciting of the season and, with the window slamming shut right on our deadline, you're not going to miss a thing. We told Iain Macintosh to set his alarm clock early, power up his Blackberry, stay tuned to the news and scour the internet for rumours...

    How Has Obama Changed Your Life?

    It is a new dawn. A new hope. The cool, clear sunlight of justice is breaking through the clouds of oppression to shine upon our darkened lives. I feel the hand of history upon my shoulder. Obama is here and He is changing our lives. Just today, on my way to the cheap household goods store on...

    Pre-Match Thread Ricey's Report. Cheltenham Town 25/11/08

    A Night at the Races. This Tuesday the 25th of November the Mighty Shrimpers have a nice away trip to Whaddon Road which is the home of Cheltenham Town Football Club. Our last trip to Whaddon Road was a night game on a cold friday night in February where we witnessed a 1-1 draw. A crowd of...

    Players Annual Christmas do.

  13. Ref Watch ..... Colchester

    This Saturday sees a second attempt in 3 weeks by Mick Russell, from St Albans, to get to Roots Hall. He was originally appointed for the Stockport game and pulled out through injury to be replaced by Trevor Kettle. He is (usually) a very decent referee. A very steady official, this will be...

    Stop using the flippin' sprinklers!!!

    By all means water the pitch on the morning of a game, but it doesn't need watering just before it kicks off! Haven't the powers that be realised yet that half the team seems to struggle to keep their balance when the pitch is too wet, and that the shaded part remains like that throughout the...
  15. Ref Watch ..... Stockport County

    After the excesses of Keith Hill last weekend, this Saturday brings an altogether different type of official to the Hall. Man in charge is the (usually) very decent referee Mick Russell from St Albans. He is a very steady official and this will be his 5th Southend match and his third at Roots...

    Platini Has Sold Us Out

    The arrival of Michel Platini as the head of UEFA was supposed to herald a new dawn for European football. It was the ascent of a footballing legend, a lover of the game, into a position of great power. What a shame that he's turned out to be just like the faceless bureaucrats he replaced...

    Piri,Piri and sardines!

    Me and the Mrs had a week away ( without the sprogs) in sunny "Portugal which as anyone who has pubesant children time on your own is as rare as hens teeth. Anyway we was enjoying out time together, barbecues, alfresco dining and in the words of Austin powers " I found my mojo". I decided to...

    Is it easier to pull a women if you have a beard?

    One of the SZFC lads recently has grown a beard and at the same time has seen his fortune with women take a turn for the better. Friday nights achievement of 2 pulls in 5 mins was more proof that the beard has magical powers. Perhaps women prefer the more rugged look. Anyone else had similar...

    Ronaldinho

    It still remember it vividly. I was at a friend's house on a Saturday night in 2005 and we were having a glass of wine before hitting the town. Being of Spanish descent, she had the Real Madrid - Barcelona game on the television. We had no plans to watch the whole match, we were supposed to...

    England v United States

    And so the recovery continues. Fabio Capello's patient, paternal treatment of the blundering failures who shamed the nation last year is, little by little, beginning to pay off. He hasn't asked them to play in strange formations, he hasn't made sweeping changes, he hasn't even announced a...
