    Slovenia

    Slovenia Manager: Matjaz Kek Captain: Robert Koren FIFA Ranking: 23 Group C Background: Slovenia's only previous World Cup campaign, in 2002, turned into shambles after their opening game saw them defeated by Spain 3-1, resulting in star player, Zlatko Zahovic, and then manager, Srecko...
  2. Isn't it about time Scudamore just left?

    Because he's continually making an arse of himself. Doing the usual run through Saturday's columns, this piece caught my eye if not for the incendiary headline: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/premier_league/article7119988.ece Choice pull-put quotes include: It might not...

    Brushy

    Just spotted brushy jogging in hornchurch. Was seriously tempted to stop and ask him what he actually said on that fateful Monday morning when he got the boot. Personally, that has been one of the key reasons for our slump. Tilly has been cutting such a lonely figure on the touchline since...
  4. Real Outclassed in El Clasico to Forget

    Lionel Messi and Pedro Rodriguez sealed a dominant win for Barcelona in El Clasico, seemingly deciding the La Liga title race as Real were left out thought, out fought and out classed. This will, by no means, go down in history as an El Clasico to remember. Barcelona entered the contest coming...
  5. ESB's Masters Preview

    The Masters at Augusta is one of the most eagerly anticipated sporting events, this year given more impetus by the not-so-surprising return of Tiger Woods. At the risk of overshadowing a landmark event in the golfing calendar, Woods has pledged to put his previous indiscretions behind him and...
  6. I hope we go down

    Just as any other Blues supporter, the thought of staying up still lingers, but if my reading of the situation is anywhere near right then I feel it will be for the best if we go down. Lg 2 is not as strong and with the current financial upheavals we could probably better afford a possibly...
  7. Xavi Takes Centre Stage in Football Spectacle

    When two teams of the highest calibre collide, it wouldn’t be beyond the realms of possibility that they negate each other and the feature becomes something of an anti-climax. Not when Arsene Wenger and Pep Guardiola are around. No. This was special. Barcelona flew out of the traps as if to...

    What will keep us up....

    Continued confidence. Next...
  9. Ref Watch ..... Walsall

    Today sees our third "must win" home game in quick succession. Each one we don't win, the next one is even more of a must win and I think tonight really is last chance saloon. Anyway we go from one of the smallest referees to one of the biggest. Hopefully the difference in performance will be...

    Who goes? YOU decide

    As I've posted in another thread, if either Tilson or Martin had to got TODAY, who would you prefer - considering all the implications that would go with their leaving would mean, I dont just mean they vanished off the face of the earth and everything would be rosey. TILSON: Legend at the club...

    Matt, James, Ken, Graeme, John and the Moderators would like to wish all the Members of ShrimperZone a Very Happy New Year. May 2010 bring you all that you wish for. The Owners would also like to thank all of the Mods for the great and sometimes unseen work they all do throughout the year...

  13. 50 games which defined a decade - Part 1 (2000-2004)

    As we've had our last game of the decade, I had planned to do something about the top twenty matches of the ten years just gone but I found it very difficult to leave some matches out, plus in truth it's some of the defeats which have stuck with me the most. And rather than doing a countdown I...
  14. Ron Manager

    Question Football related injuries?

    On Boxing Day over here I went to see Brisbane away at Gold Coast. In line with many away days watching Southend it was a cracking day out (however I've never drunk beer overlooking a beach like Surfers Paradise whilst watching the Mighty Shrimpers) spoiled only by the football (we got beat...

    Films that mapped your youth.

    I have got Quadrophenia on the box at the moment which never siezes to entertain me but it got me thinking. When it came out the mod revival was in full swing and as an stroppy short haired, button down Ben Sherman, Staypressed strids and Hush Puppies wearing trend setter, 'Quad' was my bible...
  16. Money Can't Buy You Class

    Money can you buy a lot of things. It can buy you a fast car, a nice house and a beautiful wife. It can buy you the worlds greatest player and, in Manchester City's case, it can buy you an incompetent defence. What money can't buy you, Manuel Pellegrini learnt tonight, is class. El Classico...

    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...

    Tweet That, Darren

    Have you ever Twittered? I have to confess that, like European federalism, gardening and 'Jedward', I always thought it was something for other people to worry about. Twitter, I found out this week, is a chance to spurt 140 characters of whatever you're doing at the world, or at least those...
  19. You've got to hand it to him

    I've never met the man, so haven't seen his skills first hand, but you've got to hand it to him. Ron Martin must have incredibly slick PR skills. He seems to be like teflon. Whenever there is something bad to face, either someone else is put forward to take the flak or he somehow wins people...

    We would like to thank all of you have have joined the Trust over the last couple of days. As you will appreciate we are rather busy behind the scenes which means there may maybe a slight delay in processing your Memberships, however it is hoped that we will be able to send out email...
