  2. Smart businessman, or outright scoundrel?

    Over the course of the weekend I was tasked with finding a friend of mine a ticket for V Festival as she'd been ripped off on eBay and was in a bit of a panic about missing out. As it happens, I know someone from Uni who's a bit of a dab hand with these occasions. As something of a prologue...

    Melbourne Storm stripped of 2 titles

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/rugby_league/8636565.stm I know there aren't too many League fans on this forum but believe me - this story is absolutely HUGE over here.

    Wembley's Awful Pitch

    90,000 seats, 2618 toilets, 26 lifts, 98 kitchens and 34 bars. Was it too much to ask for Wembley to provide just one decent playing surface? Saturday’s FA Cup semi-final was like watching naughty ten year olds playing football indoors on an untacked carpet. Every change of direction brought a...

    Shameless Plug

    As some of you know I spent most of last year, the bits inbetween freaking out about my wedding and writing for two different newspapers, clattering out four new sports books. My temples are considerably greyer as a result, but these books are now out in shops. Many of you answered my pleas...

    Southend RFC

    In the new ground (if and when and all that tripe) would you welcome Southend Rugby club to play there too? I think it would help them more then us but it could raise their profile, it would be nice for the town to have a decent football and rugby team, I am not sure how many people go and see...

    6 nations

    Got to say, I'm quite looking forward to this. Pretty big blow for England will Flutey out, I'm worried about how flimsy a three-quarters line that looks with Flood and Tait in the middle. Both are very talented attacking players, but they give the impression that a gust of wind could knock...

    Australian Football Blog

    I started doing one of these when I first moved over, however living life in Australia became more time consuming I didn't have so much time to write about it. However I want to start doing it on a regular basis. SO if anyone's interested in reading it then please feel free to offer any...

    Super League XV

    Yes, after switching to a summer sport, Super League XV starts this bright, breezy and gloriously hot January weekend. Leeds Rhinos take on Celtic Crusaders at that hotbed of rugby, Wrexham, tomorrow night. The main match is over at the Stoop, though, on Saturday afternoon. Harlequins, the...

    Col Ewe: credit where credit's due

    I have to admit that following Welsh rugby international Gareth Thomas "came out" I've been waiting for the football equivalent. To this end it's about time we gave credit to our Essex foes that they are the first to increase the diversity of the professional footballer: So well done Col Ewe...

    Bill McLaren Dies

    A real loss to rugby. The one man who done more to make the game of rugby so watchable in millions of living rooms throughout the decades, Bill McLaren, died aged 86 today. I've never known someone so knowledgeable about their sport and he conveyed it so well to viewers. I was also so taken...

  15. Bobby Moore & Vic Jobson

    Random find from the Observer about our one time manager and England legend Bobby Moore. Apologies if this has been posted before but it's interesting IMO. History will always consider Moore a managerial failure, and his record at Southend was unimpressive: relegated to the Fourth Division in...

    New Zealand vs Bahrain

    Second leg of the World Cup qualifying play-off in just under 2 hours. 0-0 in the first leg so all to play for, apparently Wellington (my wife's home town) has gone football crazy. For a country where Rugby is basically a rleigion that takes some doing. Will be watching it on TV tonight and...

    England Tour of South Africa

    Following in the foot-steps of the Lions who lost in the rugby this summer, and preceding the England football team's world cup bid next summer, the focus of the third of the big three sports is also South Africa. England arrived the other day and are playing their first warm-up game today. At...

    Question Calais RUFC (It's a football club, not Rugby Union....)

    Bonjour :) Has anyone been to see Calais Racing play before? Me and my sister saw the ground yesterday and it looked really good for an amateur team. If anyone has been or knows a little bit about them, how much does it cost to get in and what time do they usually kick off on a Saturday, 4pm...

    Question Tracksuit bottoms when exercising

    I play football every Wednesday night with a few of my mates and basically a load of random blokes that just want to play football. The standard is fairly high which I like as there is nothing worse than playing with players that cant trap a ball. Anyway last night one of the blokes turned up...

    The Internet Is Rubbish

    If this is the future then build me a time machine because I preferred it in the past. If I ever have to watch another game of football on my laptop, then there's going to be trouble. Nothing violent obviously, I'm far too weedy for a public rampage, but I tell you what, there'll be some fairly...
