  1. Hello from a Newb.....

    Evening all, Thought it only polite to say hello especially as I've been picking up all kinds of Wembley-tips from th forum! Realise that we 'Day-Tripper-Glory-Hunters' aren't the most popular people among some of the more ardent fans here (though heaven knows why?!?) but hoping to get tickets...

    Question Mohsni Bilel

    Just a quick one really. Now I remember, in the not to distant past that there was a discussion regarding the famous Bilel. This discussion surrounded around his involvement in the team after his well documented leave of absence from the team, and then his subsequent sending off against...

    Prodrive Factory Tour

    Now this is only going to appeal to petrol heads and car lovers really but hey ho, never mind. A couple of weeks ago a load of other speed junkies and myself got together and took ourselves off on a tour of the Prodrive Motorsport factory in Banbury. At £27.00 a pop it's not cheap but if like...

    A Question for Neil F

    since you always provide spectacular financial analysis... I was walking down the highstreet on saturday, and saw that Sports Direct had moved into the lot vacated by JJB when it went bust in October, just months after Sports Direct had had the opportunity to save JJB, but decided not to...

    Out of the Play Off Positions

    Hopefully only temporarily, but Northampton's defeat of Burton moves us down one place to eighth. A draw would have suited us better, especially as Burton have played one game more than us. However, on balance a day off should give our players a chance to recover and re-energise both physically...
  6. The Secret Footballer

    Just listening for 5 Live, with an interview by the above and he's contradicted himself so many times - at one point he mentions playing abroad and the trouble of fitting in with the culture, and the next he says he's never played abroad. I haven't read the column nor the book, but on the basis...

    Bill Garner

    Good to see Bill there today - forgot how well he actually did for Chelsea (as they were known then before the ruble takeover). Thought it a bit naff how the PA guy dragged Bill around all four stands holding his mike limply out, especially as 95% in the three home sides never appeared to have...

    Johnny Herd versus Chelsea

    What a legend, who needs Harding when we have Herd? He didn't once look out of place, run up and down the wing like Ashley Cole and he gave us a few opportunity's especially with his long throws which Chelsea hated. Awesome my little man, top stuff!

    UK set for Siberian January...

    As I mentioned last week, we could be on the verge of a major spell of winter weather. Mostly dry and cold for the next week or so, but after that we could be in for some serious snow, especially Mon/Tues next week. Then again, the media have gone into ramp mode, so that will probably mean...

    Shrimpers United in Brisbane

    Statski77 (Matt) is currently over here on holiday visiting his family who live in Brisbane now and last night we met up for the Queensland Roar game. We had a few beers pre-match in Caxton Street and into the ground where he took a few photo's which I'm sure will be posted on here when he...

    Time is up for Revell...

    ....surely? I see Revs as a poor man's Lee Bradbury,straight from the school of can't shoot/won't shoot.It's so frustrating. Now we've got Barnard back then let's get Walker in to play alongside.Those two formed quite a formidable partnership at the back end of last season. When the team is...

    EPL Half-Term Reports Pt1

    As the halfway point of the Premier League season approaches, we sent Iain Macintosh to compile reports cards for all the movers and the shakers. Who's the most improved student? Who deserves a merit award? Who's so bad that they're in danger of being moved to remedial class? Find out here...

    Question A shrimper christmas carol

    A SHRIMPER CHRISTMAS CAROL It was in the offices of Southend united after the Huddersfield match, Paul Brush-Cratchett and his son Tiny Tilly approached Uncle Ronald to ask about time off at Christmas. “Humbug” retorted Ronald I want you two and the team in training all over Christmas. Uncle...

    Interview with an Exile: Part 6 - A Century United

    This week, Tom (A Century United) from all the way up the top of Scotland answers the questions. Below is a picture of him amongst the starting 11 for the League 2 Playoff Final. The woman in white sitting on the number 1 forgot her boots that day, thus why Duncan Jupp got the nod. 1) How...

  18. Chelsea Tickets and Allocation Thread

    8,000 will be our allocation. Behind the goal, shed end. For the carling cup game against Burnley they charged £20 for adults and £10 for kids and was sold out. Cant see it being on tv, Chelsea hot favourites especially being at home. The four matches i predict for tele are: Preston v...
  19. Old Problem, New Approach..drugs

    I saw this in one our local papers, and I just wanted to see what your thaughts are, especially if you are one of the recreational drug takers mentioned. 'Columbias vice-president, Fancisco Santos Calderon, appealed last week to recreational cocaine users in the UK to ponder the impact on...

    Scolari Knows The Price Of Failure

    Luiz Felipe Scolari is all too aware of the ramifications of failure at Chelsea. High expectations and high expenditure means a low tolerance for poor results. "Now we need to beat Cluj," he said after drawing with Bordeaux on Wednesday night. "But if I thought my players did not have the...
