  1. Danny O'Shea off Down Under

    Danny O'Shea has sold Bar Vic and gone to live in Perth where he bought a Coffee shop a few years back. He has been looking for this move for a few years but couldnt shift the Pub. He's a top bloke and always kept an interest in SUFC, alongside the work he did for the Gooners. I always enjoyed...

    NICE TO SEE A COMMITTED PERFORMANCE (committed in one way at least)

    I have to say given what has gone on and in such a short space of time last nights performance by the boys that want to pull on a blue shirt has to be applauded. Every player put a shift in and there were tackles and tireless runs all over the park it was a pleasure to see and a nice breath of...

    Kitchen gadgets

    Yoyr favourite...and why? Slow cooker for me - get the dinner ready before work, set it on a time-switch and Hey Presto! Dinner ready when I get home from a late shift.

    FM2010 (iPhone) Review

    When I was young I used to dream, not of a career in professional football, or of great riches or even of a date with Kim Wilde. Nay, those were the dreams of weaker folk. I dreamed of a portable 'Tracksuit Manager', that mid 1980s Spectrum classic. I dreamed of whiling away long car journeys to...

    English Football Not ****ed. Yet.

    For the first time since 2003, the Champions League will enter the semi-final stage without English involvement. Lyon, bane of Liverpool, will play Manchester United’s conquerors, Bayern Munich, while Barcelona will bound on from their mauling of Arsenal by taking on Inter Milan, the club who...

    Question Will you be in the North Bank?

    So with the news today, that the North Bank will be open to Southend fans once again, for the Yeovil & Stockport games. Will you be joining The Blue Voice and help to create a fantastic atmosphere, that could keep our lads in League One? Season Card holders will be able to transfer easily and...
  7. Back 4 for Walsall?

    the internet, as seen in 1995

    Visionaries see a future of telecommuting workers, interactive libraries and multimedia classrooms. They speak of electronic town meetings and virtual communities. Commerce and business will shift from offices and malls to networks and modems. And the freedom of digital networks will make...

    England Preview

    WHAT’S THE MAIN FOCUS FOR ENGLAND? Here in the UK, we’re all still stuck in the mire of what has inevitably been dubbed ‘BridgeGate’. You might think that weeks of press speculation, pages of gossip, one sacking, one resignation and one very publicly snubbed handshake would be enough to satiate...

    Big thanks to the Col U lads

    Amongst all of the negativity surrounding our particularly rancid performance (bar the last 20 mins or so), I would personally like to express my gratitude to both Pat Baldwin and Scott Vernon for their contributions today. Much has been made of Baldwin's supposed non-plussed appearance during...

    Who in our team is good enough??

    Who in our current team is actually good enough to play for the club? Just an honest question because i think we have a lot of dross who would struggle to find another league 1 club. Mildenhall: Good enough, and a decent keeper at this level. Barrett: Good enough, captain for a reason. He...

    Yet another rally call....

    Investment

    Now, everyone who knows me, knows i work for the world's favourite bank right now. The bonuses they pay, are second to none. So i am looking for an investment.. something on the side, for the future. However, not in the financial sector, not until the government changes to the blue side, as...

    Sullivan Can Save Hammers

    The arrival of David Gold and David Sullivan at Upton Park is the best news that West Ham United fans could have asked for this year. Their team may be locked into a relegation battle, their money long since squandered on shoddy goods, but finally they have people in the boardroom who know what...

    Stick With Rafa

    (For a different paper this time, hence the shorter word count) Is the FA Cup important again? It's the only explanation for the sudden turnaround at Anfield. Like a battered wife, the Liverpool fans have taken one beating too many and they're rising up, teeth bared, against Rafa Benitez...

    City's Glaring Vie-error

    When Kenny Dalglish ruled the roost at Anfield, Liverpool were the dominant force in English football. He maintained their superiority during his tenure with a very simple transfer philosophy, and it's something that Manchester City would do well to emulate. 'Always be sure to sign better...
  18. Keyboard gone foreign on me

    Slipper of the Yard

    Wonderful article here by one of my favourite journalists/commentators, Mark Steyn: “He was always affable and very much a gentle giant,” said Bruce Reynolds. “He was one of the old school,” agreed one of Mr Reynolds’ colleagues. Gentlemen publishers? Art dealers? Yes, Mr Reynolds has a...

    Sven Will It Go Wrong?

    In 2001, in the wake of the dotcom crash, I lost my job. For 18 months, I had been the deputy shift leader of a surly band of financial journalists, charged with staying up all night and reviewing the first editions of the newspapers for a raft of corporate clients. It wasn't much, but it was a...
