  1. 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...

    The Brits

    Surprised not to have seen any references to it anywhere or was everyone watching football elsewhere? FWIW, my opinion was that a certain lady tried to hijack the whole proceedings and turn it from a family affair into a one woman show and failed miserably. And what was with her face? She...

  3. the truth about millwall

    Sadly I was lounging round the pool in Florida, when the game took place(someone has to) but for various reasons, I spend a lot of my working week in south london, literally 3 minutes from the new den, so it amused me no end to see all the posts on here, of people worried about wearing shirts...

    Scudamore Puts The Squeeze On

    Do you think that the people who run football will ever get to the point where they have enough money? Can you imagine them, sat atop a glistening mountain of gold coins, clad in rare velvets, adorned with crowns, drinking 19th century red wine and thinking that perhaps they‘ve gone far enough...

  5. So angry.....

    Sorry to bring it up again chaps but have been too angry to come on the Zone since yesterday's game - now I need to get this off my chest as some sort of "therapy." Have to say I am also a referee like "Lord Football" and therefore try to avoid slating officials but he was literally the worst...

  6. Ref watch - another beginner

    This time the rookie coming to do our match on Saturday is Steve Cook officiating in his second ever League One match, having also done half a dozen League Two matches. Got his first red card at this level out of his system in the Cup last weekend. Burst on to the League scene with a truly...

    We're Proud Of You - Go On England

    So here we are, the final twist of the most amazing rollercoaster ride that has been the 2007 Rugby World Cup. England - your England, my England, everybody's England - have been knocked from pillar to post, criticised, attacked, pilloried, derided, laughed at written off from all quarters...

  8. Did Sir Steve have a bad game ?

    I thought so. Leon Clarke is not a target man (although he diidn't shirk giving it a go) so the dreadful semi-hoof ed "out ball" from Richards (cos they don't trust him to knock it 10 yards to the fullback) was going nowhere and Eric was not ready for a gruesomely knowledgeable Tranmere...

    Just got back

    Very disappointing result, deserved to win let alone lose. Pretty much evens during 1st half and looked a scr@ppy 1st goal from Hunt. Took 5 seconds for us to realise it had gone in!! Wednesdays 1st goal looked offside, but dreadful defending, and 2nd goal was total freak OG. 2nd half we...

    Southend United - How far have we come? Part 1

    Cast your mind back almost ten years; could you honestly see us reaching this pivotal moment in the history of Southend United? Back in 1998 the football club was skint; it couldn't pay its players, it couldn't pay its creditors, it couldn't pay the Inland Revenue; the future was so bleak that...

    The fbm view and ratings

    NOT QUITE ALL WHITE AS BLUES GRAB POINT Southend earned a deserved point against play-off chasers Plymouth at the Hall today, but wore their all white away kit to do it! Presumably the visitors had not brought down their away strip and so it was felt that the easiest solution would be for us...

    League Cup Parallel?

    2 seasons ago, we had West Ham away in the cup after a dreadful start, which for us was a big game. We played superbly and, although lost, some argue (and I agree with them) that that game turned around our season as it gave the team confidence and belief. Tuesday we have Man Utd in the League...

    Just cheered myself up by watching...

    Seeing as the 2005/06 isn't out yet, I stuck on part of the Lg2 play-off season whilst cooking the family meal (Millenium Man that I am!). Started in this current month of October, with a dreadful away defeat 4-0 at Darlo. Followed up by Boston 2-1 at home (remember Tes the cat after Daryl...

    Nice to see..

    Nothing like a ****poor series of results, culminating in a dreadful home performance to get the message board in uproar. Blimey this league's going to be harder than either the fans or our manager thought - we're actually going to be in a bit of relegation trouble this season. Our...

  16. Positives and Negatives

    On the whole I don't think people need go overboard with negativity. We played an extremely competent side who in truth are the only team to have outplayed us so far and when you're adjusting to life in a new division (and in particular the Championship where the step-up is huge) that doesn't...

  17. Matt Harrold

    True to my word I feel it is extremely necessary to post on here that I was WRONG about Harrold. So much so infact that I am questioning whether or not he actually is the same bloke who looked so dreadful in the games I lined in over at Harlow Town in 2002. I see Dave Kitson's not in the Reading...

  18. Don't go back there

    Missed Saturday's entertainment to visit Trent Bridge for the 20/20. Equally as disappointing and, as I went by coach, had to hang around 'til after the Final to come home (although that was a cracking game). I decided to break up the monotony of the day by popping next door to Meadow...

    Third Test, England v. Sri Lanka

    Sri Lanka have won the toss and elected to bat. Big news is that Sajjid Mahmood has been dropped and replaced by Gloucestershire's Jon Lewis. Surprising call, there. Lewis has been in good form, though - and you get plenty of movement throught the air and off the seam up in Nottingham...

    Tea

    I hate tea. Can't stand it. I hate all the paraphernalia surrounding tea, the rituals, the ooh! let's stop and have a cup of tea bits about it. It's dreadful stuff. Tea should be banned unless you are over 60, and then phased out following the death of all those that will...
