    So it's not 'Climate Change' to be blamed for our cold winters....

    Seeing as we're talking about weather and atmospheric occurrences at the moment, I then spotted this on the BBC website..... The UK and continental Europe could be gripped by more frequent cold winters in the future as a result of low solar activity, say researchers. They identified a link...
  2. Pellegrini In A State Of Pjanic

    When Manuel Pellegrini took the reins at Real Madrid, blank cheque book in hand, I doubt very much he expected his only shot at silverware at this stage of the season would lie solely in a sprint to the finish with Barcelona... Courtesy of Miralem Pjanic, that is exactly the situation. Lyon...

    Lee Barnard comenst on the Echo OS

    Thought I would get in there first with Lee now being an ex-shrimper!!! Got this from the echos website LEE Barnard insists his move to Southampton was made for football reasons not financial. The striker has now completed a £175,000 switch to the Saints in a move which also sees Matt...

    New football show on BBC

    Last night saw the launch of the Late Kick Off show on BBC South East, features all the local clubs in the league and more of an insight than the usual Prem teams gumph. BBC for the London area has 13 teams that covers the whole of London, Brighton, Gillingham, Daggers, Wycombe and Watford. It...
  5. Adebayor Stamps His Authority, But Not His Quality

    Adebayor just doesn't get it, does he? He's a fine player when he wants to be, but his disgusting attitude will always stand between him and Manchester City Mediocrity. The Togolese centre forward started this season in sparkling form and is more than talented enough to be considered one of the...
  6. Companies Act 2006-Directors Responsibilities

    As more and more information seeps out about the Blues parlous financial condition, the thought had crossed my mind that some consideration should be given to the role of the SUFC Board in matters reaching the state they have. Until very recently, I was Chairman of a small transport company in...

    Toulouse jolly.......match nul!

    TOULOUSE v LILLE The Stadium 13th MAY 2009 Bid farewell to The Ranger and Boo Boo, came down the Cagire and off, en route for Toulouse, with enough goodies to keep me going for the day. Had arranged to meet my SZ colleague outside Mac Do, on the Place du Capitole, in the centre of...

    EPL Has Nothing To Fear From Below

    If you think it's tense at the top of the Premier League, you should see The Championship at this stage of the season. With a collection of runners and riders who all seem incapable of stringing consecutive wins together, it's the division that no-one wants to win. Wolverhampton Wanderers have...

    Wembley: A Nation(al Stadium) divided?

    As a stadium, I still feel entirely undecided about Wembley. It's most impressive outside, lit up at night - a glowing beacon calling sports fans to its central hub. And it's a very slick operation, delivering colossal volumes of food and drink at breakneck speed, being very sensibly laid out...

    SZ Novella - Chapter Five

    Chapter Five - Red Sky At Night, Stokes' Delight Ricey sprinted down the back-alley, feet slipping and sliding on the wet concrete as he went. The sound of a gunshot echoed off the walls and he instinctively ducked, almost falling to the ground. Reaching the end of the passageway, he turned...

    Semi-Final 1: (What's the Story) Morning Glory vs Nevermind

    Worthy of the final itself, but one must fall before reaching that level Carl and Aberdeen Shrimper .. over to you
  12. Manager of the Month for February

    6 games ago, a growing number of our fans were clamouring for a change of manager. They said Tilly and Brush were either "past it", "lost the plot" or had only ever got lucky with one or two players such as Eastwood. Once again, just as a similar thing happened last season (although last year...
  13. After 25 league games last season...

    ....we had 34 points and reached the play-offs. After 25 league games so far this season we have 31 points. I'm not saying we will reach the play-offs this season (but then I didn't think we would this time last year) but it does show that maybe our current position is not quite the pit of...

    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...

    Brighton's New Stadium

    Brighton's New Stadium starts on 17th Dec Dream will become a reality when work starts on Falmer Some dates are imprinted in the minds of Albion fans. May 21, 1983, and April 26, 1997, are two obvious examples. Now December 17, 2008, can be added to the list. A quarter of a century after...

    Arsenal Lose, Four-All

    Arsene Wenger stared down his inquisitor, apparently caught between contempt and fury. A 4-4 draw at home to Tottenham, under any circumstances, is a poor result, but to be asked where he thought he, "lost the game," seemed to be pushing it a little. "We did not lose," he said slowly. "I must...

    Young Guns Hit Five

    There is a swagger about Arsenal in Europe this year. Since the inception of the Champions League, the Gunners have struggled to take their domestic form with them when they go to the airport, reaching the final just once and crashing out early every other year. In that same time Manchester...

    Kinnear Kickstarts Shola Show

    Could it be that Mike Ashley has actually made a sensible decision? The man whose baffling policies have crippled Newcastle United in little over a year doesn't get much right, but in the recruitment of Joe Kinnear, of all people, he might allow himself a smile. The forgotten man of English...

    Funny Moment Saturday

    We had a real Life Of Brian moment at Walsall with "What have the Romans ever Done for Us?" Apart from education, aquaducts, wine etc etc. When the fifth goal went in you had a number of fans stand up, stamp their feet, storm out, making gestures towards the bench and muttering stuff about...
