    Why Bother?

    Why are England playing Holland tonight? Does anyone actually know? International friendlies are pointless and pre-season friendlies are tedious, so why are we combining the two to create one giant 90 minute period of mind-altering boredom? Who stands to gain from this unique conjunction of the...

    SZ Big Brother - Week 7 Eviction Night!

    The last vote from Old Blue Lady might not have helped her popularity as it pulled the safe looking duo of ldnfatso and The Flying Scotsman into the eviction places as they finished level on 99 points. Vange Shrimper was here this time last week battling it out against JoshC but now faces...

    BAC Philosophie

    Spare a thought for my daughter, Clara, who is spending the whole morning, battling with one of the three questions listed below, in her Baccalauréat philosophy paper. Philosophy is considered so important that the mark given is multiplied 8X! Blow that completely and you've virtually blown...

    Return Of The Old Guard

    How very retro. There was a time when any game between Arsenal and Manchester United was epoch-shaking. They were the two giants of the domestic game, battling out their own private war while the likes of Chelsea, Liverpool and, this'll make you laugh, Newcastle could only look on from the...

    Ex-Shrimpers League Goalscorers Table: # Week 30

    Here is the latest fortnightly roundup from the Ex-Shrimpers. Glad to see I am still of some use as my scouts found a few missed by others. Work is crazy at the moment so struggling to get them on the web. 17 March Hal Robson-Kanu scored of course against Southend in the big 3-0 win On the...

    Fancy a flutter only 3 quid

    After the relative success/failure of the ITV Celebrity sweepstake, I wondered if anyone is up for another. We are currently 13th in the table. If Tilly does well in the window we could go up. If we lose a few games we could be battling relegation so its almost impossible to predict where we...

    Torquay defender has Leukaemia

    Torquay centre back Chris Todd is battling Leukaemia it has been announced. He's just 27. No doubt our support goes out to him. All the best, Chris. http://www.torquayunited.com/page/News/0,,10445~1459185,00.html

    The Blue Voice - Some Facts

    Right, first of all many thanks for all the bitchy comments, to say I'm a little ****ed off right now is an understatement. All these negative statements regarding TBV I take as a personal insult, so If anyone else wants a pop please do so via PM. Now for the facts. The Blue Voice is not an...

    Champions League Qualifying Round 3

    I see that Liverpool are battling against Leige in Extra Time, and also that the Goons have beaten McClown's Twente 4-0 (6-0 on aggregate). This is good, 1, because maybe if Liverpool go out now we won't get any of "That night in Wherever-it-was", and 2, because we get to laugh at the Scousers...

    Hooper wanted by 3 clubs

    "And Cheltenham Town, Stockport and Scunthorpe United are now battling to secure his services." All this has apparently pushed his price up £100k. Excellent news - see Echo It looks as though Hereford will be unsuccessful as they can't afford to match the other offers.

  16. The Clubs Future?

    After some unexpected news this week from the club, I've started to wonder what will happen with the club within the next few seasons. Will we challenge for promotion with yet another small squad? What type of players will we sign within the next few months young/experienced? Fortunately for...

    Euro 2008 part 2

    Even without England's involvement and, in fact, maybe even because of their absence, the European Championships are a mouth-watering prospect. Three weeks of Cristiano Ronaldo, Fernando Torres, Klass-Jan Huntelaaar and Franck Ribery at the top of their professional game, battling for supremacy...

    Test match review

    Ok, so a stunning win England albeit not an especially stunning performance but I have a few questions for the SZ cricket knowledge-base: 1.a. Why does every media agency seem to be giving all the plaudits to Strauss when Monty took 6 of a possible nine wickets in the 2nd NZ innings ripping...

    Bristol City v Hull City

    There can’t be many people who, when the Championship season began, thought that today’s SG$120m Play-Off Final would be contested between newly promoted Bristol City and almost relegated Hull City. In fact, if you’d have asked an expert, or even if you’d just have asked me, you’d have been told...

    League one play-off's

    It would have been impossible for the ticket office staff to recognise them when they arrived. Clad in red and white scarves and speaking in broad Yorkshire accents, the Leeds United supporters who had failed to secure Wembley tickets in their half of the stadium surreptiously crept down the...
