  1. South Bank Clock

    Did anyone else notice that the clock on the south bank stopped at 3.50pm during Saturday's game? Hope that it's not synonymous with our season

    Redknapp's "Mish Mash" Players

    Michael Dawson summed it up best in the post-match interview. Most players, having secured a place at Wembley would bound onto the screen with a broad grin, congratulate, "the lads," and then scamper off for a late night on the bubbles. Not this time. Instead Dawson hung his head in shame. How...

    You Lucky *******s

    Only Tottenham could make such a simple task so ludicrously difficult. Only Tottenham could take an unloseable game and almost throw it away. Harry Redknapp has booked his place at Wembley for a second season running, but he won't kid himself that his team deserves it. Two late goals from Roman...

    He Doesn't Want To Go!

    Have you ever been stood at a bar patiently waiting to be served a drink, only to see everyone else around you get theirs first? Or in a meeting, continually making points that no-one acknowledges? If so, you know what it is to be Kaka this week. The poor boy must be convinced that he's become...

    Wilkins Worried By Wobbles

    After a hard night at Roots Hall, Luis Felipe Scolari was in no mood to face the media. Perhaps he was locked in the dressing room with a blackboard, some chalk and a squad still struggling to understand the concept of zonal marking. Whatever the reason, it was Ray Wilkins who squeezed into the...

  7. Laptop Repair

    I have a moderate ability when it comes to upgrading and repairing pc's, but I am stumped by this one. My Acer (which I have already explained is Spawn of the Devil) is now refusing to boot. When started the fan runs for a few seconds and dies, and then the light around the power switch and...

    Shrimpers Sing Their Way To Success

    It was all for nothing. I've worked long and hard over the last 18 months to build some kind of credibility with the UK press pack and on Saturday afternoon I ruined it all by going absolutely mental at Stamford Bridge. It's not the done thing to celebrate a goal in the press box, but wild...

    Chelsea, the Irish, and Richie Foran, Richie Richie Foran

    Just back in the land of leprechauns a couple of hours after a great trip. Travelled over in Billy no mates style again for my 5th match of the season, and it was a teeny tiny bit better than the Huddersfield one last time :D Started off Saturday morning leaving Limerick at 4:30 am, for a...

    Harry's Nostalgia - York (Dec 92)

    Please forgive this old git a bit of self indulgence, but as this is my 10,000th post, and before I get back to working for a living, I decided I would do another away day article. For the purpose of this article I have chosen an away trip to York in December 1972. As ever my memory played...

    My Roar blog - part 2

    At the start of the A-League season I posted a blog about my experiences as a newly emigrated ‘Pom’ supporting the Queensland Roar. General commitments relating to settling into the country (getting a new job, buying a car, finding somewhere to live) has meant I haven’t made it a regular thing...

    Nervous Gunners Slip Through

    Cesc Fabregas is the youngest Arsenal captain since Tony Adams and, appropriately enough, the new era began much like the old one. The Gunners were tentative and unsure of themselves, but recovered their composure to sneak a victory. One nil to the Arsenal? Meet the new boss, same as the old...

    Pre-Match Thread Ricey's Report. Oldham Athletic 22/11/08

    Return Of The Kev! Saturday the 22nd of November brings Oldham Athletic to Roots Hall and the first and most noticeable point of their visit is the 2 match touchline ban that has been handed to the Latics manager John Sheridan for improper conduct. The unfortunate news for us Shrimpers is that...

    Terry's Touch Of Class

    If there were any question marks still lingering over John Terry's suitability to captain England, they were blown away in Berlin with a moment of grace and humility that is all too rare in a game poisoned by money and egos. Terry could have explained away Germany's comical equaliser by blaming...

    A Good Weekend In Telford!

    Despite our shocking, dire performance at Telford, I had a wonderful weekend in Telford, Ironbridge & Shrewsbury! The best part for me was when my G/F Jane & I visited Ironbridge to admire the area & most of all their famous Bridge. Having spent a few hours exploring the area, having had cream...

    The Song Remains The Same

    There is a feeling among the journalists who cover Arsenal regularly that, in the event of a calamitous keyboard malfunction, they could probably file their latest match report using a hastily-assembled hybrid of old ones. A quick rummage through 'My Documents', they claim, would deliver all the...
