    Top 50 film endings

    Thoughts? 50. The Blair Witch Project (1999) - The movie isn't particularly scary... at least until the last two minutes, which take the tension level from 10 to 100 at an exponential pace. The final seconds -- wherein a member of the cast is spotted, back turned and facing a corner, as an...

    Promometer

    When will it be achieved ? In a moment of rare confidence I reckon 43 games will be enough to see us up. Let's see how confident you are.

    Steel 'Baller Bands'

    If anyone is interested, I have 10 Adidas steel 'Baller Bands. These are the next generation of the rubber wristband that went nuts last year. These are really stylish in silver and have coloured Adidas logo's embossed on them. They are all also individually numbered. They are dead rare over...

    Steve Tilson

    Everyone and To Whom It May Concern, Obviously everyone's on a high from our performances and perhaps this is not the best objective time to suggest this. Characters in football are notoriously mercenary and its very rare to get the local lad who remains loyal, even when kicked out before a...

    Woo and indeed, hoo!

    Having been selected to represent the BDF in the IFC, an Inter-Fed tournament contested between 5 federations I was a bit concerned when I came up against a very useful looking PM trainer away in Germany. As expected he beat me in midfield but in a rare victory for the defence trainer my...
  6. Unless Tilson makes use of the Loan System...

    ...This goes down, in my books, as a rare but huge error on Tilly's part. Although the focus has been on the last week, we've had all summer to sign MUCH needed cover Upfront and who have we got? An ageing Striker who's here for a Season and is not fully fit. Eastwood's ban and Gray's injury...

  8. Scunthorpe last night

    Finally arriving in last night/early morning, the effort by the team cannot be faulted, however it did show me that how much we hustle and bustle throughout the game, we did not truely test the keeper, and that was the difference between the two sides. In the first half especially the first 15...

    Robin Cook

    One that wasn&#39;t prepared to cave in on political principles. A rare, dying and admirable breed. Shame his personal affairs weren&#39;t conducted with the same integrity. 59 is no age. May he RIP.
  10. Thoughts on today

    Well to be honest I really wasn't expecting too much today so the result wasn't a surprise.   Well where to start?  I saw this as a game of two halves.  I thought we were shocking in the first half and the only two players to go in at half time deserving any credit where, in my opinion, Mark...

    the fbm view and ratings

    Tilly said it wouldn't be pretty. Bentley said it would be ugly. Neither were lying. Chester have to be the most cynical side I have ever seen at the Hall.  I would hate to have to watch that rubbish every week and they started time-wasting in the first few minutes.  Every time they got the...

    The fbm view and ratings

    As I usually try and write my view for people who weren't there, I'm going to change it a bit tonight as I guess most will have seen it.  Anyway, we have the rare option of picking it to pieces and dissecting it via video or SKY plus or whatever, so I figured I would just relay my view of the...

    The fbm view and ratings

    Saturday August 24 1996 was one of my most depressing days as a Blues supporter since 1969. We were unceremoniously thumped 5-0 at Oxford's Manor Ground in what was one of the most uncommitted and pathetic displays I have ever seen from a Southend team. Fences were still up and I think the...
  17. More Constantine bashing....

    Should have stayed put son quotes taken from their forum. &quot;What a load of crap he is turning out to be. At the moment he is one of the worst strikers in Posh&#39;s history &#33;&#33;&#33;&#33; What an absoulte useless 45mins from him vs Luton. He must have fell on his arse 20 times...

    The fbm view and ratings

    Just got back after a superb night out. Missed the first 15 minutes (that's another story) but gather from those around me that it was fairly even.  Colchester seemed a little more on top but Blues were knocking the ball about well.  Then, Wayne Gray laid the ball off well, Gower cut in from...
  19. Only one Roots Hall

    If we are to have a new stadium, why?. Roots Hall is our ancestral home. As the South stand has already been done, the remaining three stands could be demolished and rebuilt in phases over the next few years. Ultimately we could end up with a modern stadium to be proud of. Cost? Well the FF site...

    Reasons to be cheerful...

    Although we have got off to a slow start, I think we will now start to impose ourselves on the division. I know, I know, we have said this before, but I think there are 2 main reasons why this year just might be a bit different. 1) For years we have not created any problems at all from...
