  4. Thrills, Spills and Unpaid Bills - The League One Review Part Two

    Ok, here's the second part to my review of the League One season. Apologies for the delay, have been busy this past week. Brighton Quite how Brighton finished as high as 13th should pay great testament to the work of Gus Poyet since his arrival. Having narrowly avoided the drop last time out...
  5. Arsene Wenger: The Gift and The Curse.

    Such is this success of the Arsenal Ethos under Arsene Wenger that those who question him are instantly vilified by the Gunner’s faithful and, believe me, they have a point. No other Premier League manager can boast an unbeaten season, or even claim to have attributed so much to the progression...

    Pre-Match Thread Southend-Orient: a sensible dicussion

    Right, let's have a proper chinwag about Friday. A couple of disappointing (but all too predictable) starts to the season for our two teams. Defensive frailty and a lack of natural width seem to pervade both sides, and each of us will be looking for Friday to kickstart our seasons. From an...

  11. Ref Watch .... Crewe

    The referee for Tuesday night's re-arranged game against Crewe is Graham Scott, not from the Antarctic but from Abingdon in Oxfordshire. A "first year" referee who seems to be doing okay ... or was 'til he had the misfortune to have to officiate both Colchester and Orient in the same match...

  13. Ref Watch ........ Crewe

    After the excitement of the week-end and a quite decent, even good, performance from Stuart Attwell (it was an easy game to referee though and it doesn't make his rapid promotions right!), back to the mundane matter of Saturday's officials. Man in charge is Graham Scott from Abingdon. He is in...

    Sean Thornton

    Cheating **** could have cost us promotion
  19. Jonny_Stokes

    Good news for you

    Adam Chambers is suspended, and Sean Thornton will probably be unfit for the game next week. So he won't be able to rip you to shreds/get your players sent off this time.
