Just heard on the radio news that Sepp Blatter is being quoted as stating that the corruption claims regarding the awarding of a World Cup finals to Qatar includes various racist slurs. Is this a desperate attempt to create another smoke screen around FIFA's incompetence / corrupt regime on the...

Ok it hasn't turned out how the Club, fans or Oscar would have wished but the guy has done very well to get us to 6th place and the play offs. Yesterday was disappointing but looking at the bigger picture Oscar did not enjoy the same budget as Poyet, it is not his fault that we are committed to...

Just read an amusing report in todays The Times about the 'South Norwood Tourist Board' (I think thats what you call an 'oxymoron') challenging the Cumbria tourist Board's right to describe its area as 'The Lake District' because the suburb of Croydon claims to have more lakes. 'South Norwood...

I see that Charles Green threatening to take Rangers out of Scottish Footie in response to proposals to restructure their leagues. I Can understand them wanting to play in a 'bigger' league but surely they don't have any alternative options. It's just a hollow threat plus a bit of mischief...

Reflecting on last night's game I wonder what team Gus will put out on Saturday? I'm hoping it will be something like the team that played most of the 2nd half, but with Calderon if fit? Kuszchak Bridge Greer El Abd Calderon Lopez Bridcutt Hammond Barnes KLL CMS I really hope we take the game...

Amusing to read of the bust up between Barry Fry and Fergie Jnr at Peterborough, currently they are slagging each other off in the media but could be really entertaining if they ever go toe to toe. Posh could sell tickets for that.:catfight: Fry claiming that Posh lost important players and new...

Blimey, I know that Rhodes tore up League 1 similar to CMS the season before, but..... I thought we pushed the boat out last year for CMS at £2.5m, but £8m for Rhodes? How are Championship clubs without parachute money supposed to compete with that?

Hopefully the Club is aware and acting on this matter but I note with some concern reports posted by a Barnsley fan on NSC and on the Football Ground Guide website stating that while in the away fans area they were spat on from above, implying this came from the East Stand Upper. It is claimed...

Interesting to hear the phone in on 5Live this morning. Several Scots talking down the feel good factor, claiming it was an 'English' Olympics. Many more Scots shouting them down saying how London 2012 has strengthened their feeling for the 'Union'. OK, the games were largely based in London...

Now we are in the midst of the the post Euros debrief I am curious to wonder how Harry Redknapp would have got on if he'd got the England job? Basically the same squad of players at his disposal as Hodgson - but would Harry have given them a bit more spark? I think most punters have given...

I don't have much love for Millwall but am sad to read that one of footballs characters big Barry Kitchener has passed away. 600+ games for the Lions. Club captain for some time too. Prompts memories of a few encounters against the Albion back in the '70s, a very hard defender with a chest...

Just read a report that Bullard and Chopra have been suspended by ITFC for turning up late for training after a drinking session allegedly started in London and continued over a 48 hour period in Newcastle with players from other clubs including Nolberto Solano who then failed to turn up for a...

Ashley Barnes is a great player when he looks up for it but yet again last night he really tried my patience. His contribution was marginal and at times the game passed him by. Challenges that needed to be made, loose balls to be chased and decent shooting chances that he all wasted or ignored...

So much for the so called entente cordiale. According to BBC news those Froggies are slagging us off again 'cos a key international credit agency has (so far) accepted our deficit reduction plan but warned the French they may get downgraded.....in retaliation the French want us downgraded first...

I will be in Amsterdam in a couple of weeks time and see that Ajax will be at home to Real Madrid in the Champions League, so fancy going along. Have looked online and so far the cost of tickets is ridiculous varying from 175to 350 euros. These are through agencies who appear to add a...

I see he is about to be released on curfew and some parts of the media are suggesting he will regain his place at Cambridge Uni. With this being so soon after Remembrance Sunday IMHO he should be made to clean the Cenotaph with his toothbrush and do some proper community work for Help the...

Keys & Gray are not my favourite pundits but at least Keys just gave a decent review on The Amex 'rocking' last night and was complimentary about the footie. Surprise surprise Andy Gray could barely acknowledge Keys comments about us - he was only interested in WHU and making points about the...

Deja Vu! I see there is a webcam available on the Rotherham FC website for the build of their new stadium at http://www.the millers.co.uk. Good luck to them. It is great to have the Amex but this reminds me of the nostalgic feelings for our old webcam, yet it was only 3-4 months ago! Maybe we...

I see the Govt has now agreed to publish the background papers for the Hillsborough tragedy. Strong feelings still abound that blame was shifted from the Authorities to the crowds. The Scousers won't get their loved ones back - but maybe get some sense of justice if they are vindicated? I...

Just caught a glimpse of this headline in the sports pages of todays edition of The Times. My mind was boggled for a second or two - what is this all about.... - maybe a secret plan to give Glenn Murray a good whip lashing tonight - an insight into Gus's motivational techniques for the...
