  1. Boxing Day Bash at the Spread

    Shall we or shall we not have a party in the Spread on Boxing day after the Colu *spit* home game. I know a lot of people will want to rush off home to their families and another round of Turkey sarnies and with monies tight this year maybe people just can't afford to stay around for a few...

    The state of play..

    My understanding is this. We had an outstanding tax bill of 2.1 million which was stalled numerous times because we seemingly couldnt afford it. We have from somewhere found the money, thus staving off the threat of points deduction administration. As per usual the Ron is god brigade have...

    Working For a ***** Company

    As some of you will know, I work for a Rescue & Recovery Company which is not your average 9-5 sort of job. Most though not all who do this job expect long hours, all weather conditions and sometimes, the very real risk of serious injury or even death. It's the nature of the job (considered in...

  6. An Open Letter to Liverpool RE: David N'Gog

    To whom it may concern, Hi. You don't know me, but I'm just your ordinary football fan. I'm writing this letter concerning your home match versus Birmingham City and, particularly, the actions of one David N'Gog. I was enticed, or should I use the footballing term "induced", by Ladbrokes...
  7. Pesky Lawyers Continue to Ruin Football

    Next time I get a speeding or a parking fine, I'm just going to ask for it to be suspended for when I can actually afford to flush £50 down the drain. Why not? It's worked for Chelsea... Rather predictably, the court of arbitration for sport has sided with the London club, suspending their...

    Will this turn out to be...

    ...another storm in a Shrimperzone tea cup? Here we are again... 2 days before the end of the club, we're going into administration, the clubs been mismanaged, what a load of bloody tripe that comes from the mouths of some (and not who you might think I mean)... Jesus we all love to react don't...
  9. Get a grip!!!!

    Folks - just an opinion at the moment - but until Weds only Ron knows whats going on.. If we really coulnd't afford 600k - do you honestly think we would have opted to keep the youth team going this season? Would we have splashed out on Meet The Blues day? We don't look like a club that's...

    Tilly on BBC Essex this morning

    I heard Tilly this morning saying that we will not be bringing anybody else in on loan as we don't have the money. Now I am not blaming him, but 6 weeks with only 1 fit centre back in the squad is shocking. As well as Grant did against Bristol Rovers, to play the next 7 or 8 games with him in...

    Memory Lane Episode No 1 Season 1931-32

    As I have posted previously I have an article printed in every official programme this season telling the story of Season 1931-32 in 23 episides. It has been pointed out to me that not everybody attendes every match and not everyone buys a programme, so I thought I would post them here again if...

    Gillett - The Worst A Club Can Get

    There was something entirely predictable about the news that George Gillett has already begun to apportion blame for Liverpool's poor start to the season. Speaking to supporters before September's crushing 6-1 victory over Hull, their fourth league win on the bounce, the American announced, "If...
  13. Lionel Messi's NOTW Interview

    On a Sunday I usually get a copy of the News of the Screws as well as the Observer purely for the actually impressive football coverage, and today the supplement has an "exclusive" interview with Lionel Messi. Good, I thought. During the interview, something came up that i've certainly not...
  14. Sol Campbell

    Just read on the BBC that Campbell has left Notts County and is unlikely to be allowed to join a premiership club and still is eying up a world cup spot but if he wasn't and we could afford his wages, would you take him?

    Seeking opinions.....

    from the great and the good on SZ. Ok, as you probably may have picked up, things this summer have been pretty crap all round. My daughter has been invited by her boyfriend's parents to go on holiday to Spain with them at half term. Both of them are 15, his parents have booked a 3 bed villa...

    No Chance For Youth At The Top

    One week on from The Great Chelsea Punishment and still the sense of shock reverberates through the global game. A steady stream of similar accusations have trickled in through the front door of FIFA HQ with some of English football's proudest names implicated in the scandal. Poaching, it is...

    Just suppose...

    Tilly believed Heath and White were going to stay. When they joined, Col U had a different manager. They've done well for us and have now been recalled, leaving us just one weekend prior to the window closing. Left back is the real problem position and Tilly is in talks with an out of favour...

    Remaining positive

    Even before I start writing this article I get a feeling it is hard to keep/get everyone feeling positive with the current situation of the squad/lack of signings. But we do need to remember, we do still have some good players, who can do a decent job. Okay. Steve Mildenhall- Massive...
