    Shakira v Lanny Barby

    Potential "red triangle" alert... Today's QF sees SS5's diva up against the specialist talents of Rusty's Lanny Barby.

    Emmanuelle Chriqui v Lanny Barby

    Final day of the 1st round. Tie 1 sees 2 of SZ's more learned and respected posters battle it out. Canvey's Canadian actress Emmanuelle Chriqui v Rusty's "Specialist" actress Lanny Barby. For those who don't know, be warned, Rusty's choice is the only nominee of the whole contest that I wasn't...

    Lucy Becker v Bridgit the Midget

    Day 2 of Round 1 (posted slightly early as mentioned yesterday) Martin Carruthers choice of glamour model Lucy Becker is up against Grays Blue Jnr's "interesting" choice of the world's smallest "specialist film" actress...

    How long will Boothroyd stay at Col Ewe for?

    Col Ewe have today announced the appointment of hoofball specialist Aidy Boothroyd as manager, but how long do we footballing connoisseurs of Essex (and our jealous admirers from other clubs who frequent SZ) think this marriage will last between the hugely ambitious Boothroyd and a tin-pot club?

    I'd Have Booed Beckham

    I've been a little bit sniffy about football in America in the past. With their 'marquee' players and unbridled enthusiasm for the spectacular, there's always been a doubt in my mind as to whether they really 'get' what football is all about. That is until now. I'm sure I can't be the only...
  6. Rons Blog 07.04.09

    Firstly let me apologise for last week’s “void”. It was my intention to answer the questions raised over a period of two to three weeks and at the end of that period to review whether supporters generally thought it was a good idea to continue with a blog – be it weekly, fortnightly or not at...

    No More 4-4-2!

    Fabio Capello has much to ponder. Though certain sections of the UK press appear to have an unhealthy obsession with an ageing bit-part midfielder and his quest for caps, the real question mark hangs over the structure of the England team. Capello has said that he will be taking this evening's...
  8. Chairman's Blog - 24th March

    Chairman's Blog As promised the Club’s media department has sifted through all the emails received to date and amalgamated these into the most frequently asked questions including some unusual ones. I am told that some of the emails have been paraphrased but I am sure they include the gist. I...

    Kevin Maher

    Has suddenly become a freekick specialist! He has set up quite a few goals for them this season from set pieces and is viewed by their fans as a bit of a freekick expert! Bit different to some of his corners for us but will never forgot his freekicks v QPR. He set up both their goals on saturday...

    More Bloody Spurs Muck

    Gary Megson must have been furious when he woke up on Sunday morning and saw the backpages. The Bolton Wanderers manager had all week to look forward to a trip to White Hart Lane and then they go and boot out the floundering manager less than 24 hours before kick-off. The swift arrival of Harry...

    Geoff Horsfield

    Horsfield reveals cancer battle The 34-year-old has been forced to retire as a result and will undergo surgery next week. He told the Daily Mirror: "I was diagnosed last Friday and I'm going in for surgery next Thursday. "The surgeon has told me that this is the end of my professional...

    England U19s

    Seem worryingly similar to the full team. Some decent looking players but none of the bowlers have had enough control to exert any pressure. NZ are going to win this at something of a canter. Apart from the wickets, I can't think of another time when they have been threatening. Apparently...

    4th test

    Does anyone care? Probably should do. Although I'm hardly the biggest cricket statistician, I seem to be struggling to think of the last time we played five specialist bowlers (ignoring a few big innings from Freddie/Broad). It is also, of course, Pietersen's first test as captain. Didn't...

    Advice needed

    I've got a bit of a weird team - my best player is my batsman (quality/strong), but my next best batsman is only prof/prof, who is also prof/prof in bowling. Both these are on nets as well. After that, only respectables (two of which are on bats nets) My best bowler is strong/strong on two...

    Chick Flicks it's OK for guys to like

    All the recent chat about the SitC movie has made me think what "chick flicks*" are acceptable to us males. Over the years, I've seen a fair few of them (that's what having a Cineworld £10 a month cinema pass did for you) and there are definitely certain ones that men can enjoy. Off the top of...

    Free Setanta this weekend

    If you're a Virgin Media customer you will get free Setanta Sports for the Bank Holiday weekend apparently. Wonder if Setanta is free for those of us with Sky?

    OD Final Week 14

    Not a great deal to play for really - away to bottom team so in theory this should be a stroll and I can look forward to a relegation play off. Have promoted my not out specialist to opener and opted to bat first in an attempt to overhaul #1 divisional bat slot. May well backfire but worth a...
  18. Car Service advice....

    ... It's time to get my wife's car serviced (Toyota Yaris). Called the main dealer (Lookers) and was quoted £277 + £50 MOT :eek: Did a quick search on the web and found a 'Westfield Motors' in rayleigh - they market themselves as an alternative Toyota Specialist. Anybody used them ...

    England in Sri Lanka

    First warm-up game today in Colombo. England have actually beaten their hosts to Sri Lanka, which is promising. They've also managed to beat me out there, as my flight isn't until Saturday. Sri Lanka were last night falling to a 2-0 defeat in convict land. Needing a world record 507 to win on...
