    Are we the biggest moaners ??

    I have to admit I love a moan. It some how seems more interesting to moan about a player or manager than it is to say they are ok. Example is last nights game which was a fantastic result and the first time we have won there in 10 years, apparently. Yet every thread is littered with the Smith...

    Question How long before fans turn on Sturrock ? And how long before RM turns on him too ?

    I'm sure that most on here recognise that PS is doing a difficult job in difficult circumstances. But 7 defeats against very lacklustre opposition is still 7 defeats. Hopefully we'll set things right next week otherwise with costs running over budget I can see a big bust up coming with our...

  11. Safe Standing- Government seeking advice on laws to review

    A message from the Football Supporters Federation. The new coalition government has pledged to scrap unnecessary and “nannying” laws. We believe that the ban on standing at football grounds in the top two divisions is just this. In England and Wales, you can stand in rugby grounds, at Speedway...

    Just Another Afternoon At The Match

    Today was a rare opportunity for me. With local non-league football and my lad's training wiped out by waterlogged conditions, resulting in the radio show I would have been doing to cover it all also biting the dust, popping along to the Hall became an unexpectedly pleasant compensation...

    Winding up work Colleagues after a win

    Do you have a dig at work colleagues after we have beaten them. I sent a guy at work the following email today (my 1st full day back since the game) and cc'd in most of the Blues fans that work at my place as well as the workmates of my Ooze supporting mates. Bob Mills, Julian Lloyd...

    Tubby Alan Wiley

    There's no room for sentiment in football. Alan Wiley should remind himself of that this morning when he hauls himself out of bed and trudges to the mirror. He'll suck in his gut and puff out his chest, he'll flex his arms and stiffen his chin, he'll even do that thing where you try and lift...
