    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...

    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...
  3. The Jobson Years

    Hi everyone I've been reading this forum with interest. I'm now ready to make my debut. Firstly, a big thank you to everyone associated with running Shrimperzone. One thing that strikes me is that most people's views on here are so black and white. So, I'm going to present a balanced view on...

    Transfer Windows Are Rubbish

    I went shopping today. I bought 150 steaks, 200 eggs, enough cornflakes to swim in and enough milk to drown in. I bought half a vineyard of red wine, a circle of cheese as big as a tractor wheel and a box of ice-cream large enough to sink a ship. I also picked up 40 paperback books and a new...

    Leon Clarke's ours if we want him!

    I know it's after just one appearance but Tilly and Ron have done something unbelievable, they've negotiated a fee to BUY Leon after his loan deal with Sheffield Wednesday and if he's the missing piece of the jigsaw, then he's ours. How refreshing that we have developed our business dealings...

    On Reflection - Happy Or Not?

    So Bradders, JCR and Paynter go through the exit door on permanent deals for a combined fee of maybe around the 250k mark.. In comes Leon Clarke and Eric Odhiambo on loan deals.. Are you happy with the clubs dealings in the window?
  7. The Bank letter :)

    Following on from Sam's letter to the bank .....:p Dear Sir: I am writing to thank you for bouncing the cheque with which I endeavoured to pay my plumber last month. By my calculations, some three nanoseconds must have elapsed between his presenting the check, and the arrival in my account...

    Teams taking punts on transfers...

    After seeing Windass come up trumps for Hull today, was about the final straw. A month or two back, there was quite an exchange on SZ when a couple of us dared to question Tilson and his transfer policy. In the end, it was an argument I wouldnt (or couldnt with the majority against me) win...

    Scriven interview

    From the Trust newsletter, I quote the juiciest bits “We were in League Two when I started here, and we have won two promotions in my time at the club. I’m really the tactical mastermind behind Steve Tilson and Paul Brush!” “The club have progressed at first team level, and in turn, we have...

    PC World

    Everyone. As you know I used to run a website and now don't, this is because;- (copied from various forums for the purpose of obtaining information) I bought a Fujistsu Scaleo P computer September 05' from PC World. It began to create problems from day one. Graphics freezing. Rebooting...
  11. Transfer deadline tomorrow

    A few more dealings going round the league today, sure to be busy tomorrow. I am sure Tilly has a few calls out, pure speculation by me but with Aston Villa signing Petrov today and promises of more to come by Martin O'Neil could Tilly use a bit of England U-21 knowledge and try and get...
  12. Director of Commercial Services appointed

    The OS reported yesterday that Pat Coyne had been appointed director of commercial services with effect from 5th June. I wondered if this impacted Brian Wheeler's position, who seems like a good guy in my limited dealings with him despite being a Hamster. Any one know? I did ask one of...

    Simon Jordan

    This guys a legend. Taken from the Observer: Forget Bruce, trouble starts with true blue Sullivan David Sullivan doesn't like his players. 'They're on £20-30,000 a week and they're not earning it; it makes you resentful,' he says, 'I've reached the stage where I don't like footballers.' Fair...

    Keeper

    In all the "excitement" of the transfer window and as I have not been around for a bit I assume we still only have one fit keeper on our books. I notice Mr Phillips of the West Ham Echo said Tilly had a busy day of dealings!!! Surely our luck will run out soon and Flahavan...
  17. JCR

    Anyone know what is happening with this? IMO no dealings will take place until the investigation is complete and I reckon this will not be until the transfer window shuts. Its all very up in the air. Pity JCR.

    relatively funny joke

    guy is driving around Tennessee and he sees a sign in front of a house: "Talking Dog For Sale." He rings the bell and the owner tells him the dog is in the backyard. The guy goes into the backyard and sees a Labrador retriever sitting there. "You talk?" he asks...
  19. Managers making their transfer targets public

    Just a few thoughts on all of the latest 'Players refusing to sign their new contract' news. I think we should wait and see what Flavs, Dudfield, Che, Nicky and Jay do re their contracts, before we get too worked up about whether they will or won't sign. It would be somewhat ironic if a player...

    Toon pArT 2

    I was going to include this on the Tune thread but I see the Gestapo have locked it... anyway. A new book entitled Football songs or something, one of those small coffe table books, like 100 worst towns et al. Southends entries are the we've got the longest pier and oh I do like to be beside...
