    The 'Stan

    First of all, I'm writing this from my perspective of the last six months, I'm no hero, but plenty of my collegues are. Hopefully no one will think I'm writing this is order to show off, or to earn rep. Indeed, please don't rep me for this at all. I realise I'm probably not the only serviceman...

    My Life as a Shrimper PREVIEW PART THREE

    MY LIFE AS A SHRIMPER PREVIEW PART THREE This is the third short review of the newly published Book “My life as a Shrimper” The story of my personal journey supporting Southend United. We had been relegated after six years in the second tier but if we thought life would be easy we were...

    More Bloody Spurs Muck

    Gary Megson must have been furious when he woke up on Sunday morning and saw the backpages. The Bolton Wanderers manager had all week to look forward to a trip to White Hart Lane and then they go and boot out the floundering manager less than 24 hours before kick-off. The swift arrival of Harry...

    Question Loan Army... but how long for?

    Just a quick question for someone who has their finger on the pulse a bit more than I do... I'm just wondering how long we have each of our loan army for? I'm getting very worried that our bubble will burst fairly soon when they start to return to their clubs.... Federici - loan expires after...

    The Gurkha Justice Campaign

    The Gurkha Justice Campaign Gurkhas are fighting for Justice. They want the same terms and conditions as their UK and Commonwealth counterparts. Britain has had no greater friends than the Gurkhas. They have served all across the world in the defence of our Country for nearly 200 years. Over...

    Help For Heroes

    Thought I would post this up as I feel it is in aid of a really good cause, even if it appears on the Col Ewe site. Colchester United announced that they will be holding the "Game of History" Celebrity v Army football match on Sunday November 2 The people behind the celebrity Soccer Six...

    Shambles at St James

    Kevin Keegan has gone, Mike Ashley is going and the Toon Army can no longer be relied upon to fund the senseless destruction of their football team. Newcastle United are in meltdown, slumped near the bottom of the Premier League and now, thanks to this lacklustre defeat at the hands of...

    Letter To Ashley

    After trawling through Mike Ashley's emotional 1664 word press release, Slipperduke has a few questions for him.... "I paid £134 million out of my own pocket for the club. I then poured another £110 million into the club not to pay off the debt but just to reduce it. The club is still in...
  10. Give the Army free tickets

    I think the club would get a lot of publicity if it gave out free tickets to our returning solders and I think it’s a good jester to those guys that have one hell of a job to do. We could have them come out at half time to walk round the pitch to a round applause. Good for the troop good for...

    The season starts here.

    This last 2 weeks have been, well, lets say testing, even for a long standing Blues fan of 40 years like myself. The last few days in particular has seen fan turn against fan... fans turn against club... fans turn against player and both Tilly and Barrett felt the need (and rightly so) to come...

    Ashley Should Hide Now

    Kevin Keegan was not simply the manager of Newcastle United. In the eyes of the supporters he was a hero, an icon, a leader and an inspiration. His sacking will not be treated as another turn of the managerial merry-go-round, it will be felt like the killing of a monarch. You have to visit...

    TV Shows that have been made into successful films

    I was talking to my mate about this the other night and just how many of them sucked ***. We started initially talking about comedy shows, but then veered off onto others. Can you think of many that have worked successfully? Or more importantly, the reason why they rarely ever do? We couldn't...

    Benitez Must Improve

    It's two wins from two for Liverpool in the Premier League and European qualification has been secured, but has success ever been this abject? If the sign of a champion is the ability to win when you play badly, then Liverpool should have the title wrapped up by Christmas, because I don't think...

    Battle of the Sitcoms - THE FINAL !!!!!!

    Ok ok, i know the second semi hasn't quite finished, but it'd take a cunning plan of Baldrick proportions for that result to change so i'm using poetic licence to kick this off now so i can get some work done :( Well, i think its been fun and extremely well fought, and after 30 matches and 2285...

    Life In The A-League

    Before I headed off to Oz I said I'd write a regular blog about what it's like supporting a team on the other side of the world. Here is my first effort by way of an introduction to the Queensland Roar - Queensland Roar vs Adelaide United – 24th August 2008 Come On! Imagine this scenario...
  17. Al Murray - Tickets

    Dont know if anyone finds him as funny as myself, But I have some FRONT ROW tickets to see him in central London, for the filming of Series 3 of "Al Murray The Pub Landlord" I have all I need so now offering them out to others, if they want them... 27/09/2008 07/10/2008 I have 4 tickets for...

    Battle of the Sitcoms - Second Round Review

    Blackadder continues to blaze a trail in this competition with another thumping victory, elsewhere the battles were much closer with only Father Ted and Only Fools and Horses breaking the 70% barrier, that said we didn't have any real nail biters this time around, with The Vicar of Dibleys 6...

    Battle of the Sitcoms - Round Two (Heat 6)

    Though this will probably play second fiddle to the other tie today, its still a biggie IMO Dads Army (shrimpled) vs Men Behaving Badly (Einstein)

    Battle of the Sitcoms - Second Round Draw

    The draw has taken place for the 2nd round of Battle Of The Sitcoms and it shaped up as follows ... Only Fools and Horses (Cricko) vs Frasier (stereoscene) The Good Life (Hutton) vs Blackadder (MK Shrimper) I'm Alan Partridge (seany t) vs Steptoe and Son (canveyshrimper) My Name Is Earl...
