    Players that have returned

    Reading the Kev Maher thread on Ex Shrimpers made me think about players who have left and returned. Success or failure ? From a while ago a couple of successes Frankie Banks Roy McDonough I recall Bill Garner coming back around the time of the Tony Currie non appearance but I don't think he...

    Gerrard Is The Write Stuff

    Steven Gerrard is the Football Writer's Player of the Year. That's better. You see, if you want something done properly, ask a journalist. Admittedly, that saying only holds water if what you want is to have someone drink all the beer in your fridge, or spell something incorrectly, but for once...

    It's His Own Fault

    I love Carlos Tevez. If you're anything like me, still immature enough to allow your mind to wander with fantasises of being a professional footballer, you'll know why. Tevez plays in exactly the same way that we would, were we ever given the chance. He is whole-hearted, brave and dedicated. He...

  4. Sawyer, Hunt and Harrold

    Went to see Darlington v Wycombe last night with 3 ex-Shrimpers involved on the pitch. Sawyer and Hunt started and Harrold was on the bench. At first Sawyer looked like a boy amongst men - almost literally given the height of many of the other players involved. But he got more and more involved...

    Tyne Is Running Out

    Newcastle United are going down. Whatever you read in the press, whatever club sources say on the website, they are circling the drain ready to be sucked down into the Championship. There is no hope on Tyneside anymore. Their supporters, more than anyone else at the club, realise that this is...

    Post-Match Thread and Ratings Swindon 3-0 Southend United

    A game which started so promisingly for us turned into a nightmare. In front of just over 6000, with a fair few southend fans, a bright start was cut short when ex southend loanee kanu calmly placed the ball beyond mildy, returning from injury, after a swift counter attack with their number 11...

    Coming Home

    I'm not about to have SZ make major life decisions for me and my family, however I am interested in what people's opinions are. I seriously want to come home from Australia to live back in England. I know it's only been 6 months or so since I left but the homesickness is just too much and I...

    Thorpe Bay Crash

    I know some of the people involved and it is a tragedy. The driver was at fault if you want to blame someone but this is a tragedy and I am hoping that we can use this thread to give SUPPORTIVE messages to all involved, especially the two on life support machines. Please keep posts respectful...

    c*l ewe forums match thread

    It's a great read http://forum.cu-fcchat.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=3984 They think we exaggerate our support Some of their fans suffer from depression They weren't happy with the first half performance It's all Lamberts fault And there's only 48 posts!

    Charlie Mulgrew

    My laddo and I had the pleasure of watching Heart of Midlothian v Aberdeen last weekend. I can safely say it was the best game we've seen all season. Crunching tackles, superb goals, and both teams going for it. Terrific stuff from beginning to end. The first half an hour was all Aberdeen...

    Square pegs in round holes

    I, like everyone else was gutted we lost one nil at home to Crewe. They came for a nil nil, but exceeded their expectations and got a 1-0 victory with their only shot on goal, a free kick The first half we were awful. The second half was better, and i was pleased by the substitution of Laurent...

  13. Ref Watch .... Crewe

    The referee for Tuesday night's re-arranged game against Crewe is Graham Scott, not from the Antarctic but from Abingdon in Oxfordshire. A "first year" referee who seems to be doing okay ... or was 'til he had the misfortune to have to officiate both Colchester and Orient in the same match...

    Proof that some footballers are thick as **** !!

    Scolari's Not To Blame

    Luis Felipe Scolari may have paid the price for Chelsea's bleak midwinter, but who was really to blame for the club's decline in form? The Brazilian boss may have made mistakes in his short reign at Stamford Bridge, but he was never given the tools he needed to rebuild an ageing squad. It was...

    Chelsea Need To Look In The Mirror

    Mike Riley may have cost them the game, but it is Chelsea's under-performing superstars who have cost themselves the title. Even before the ludicrous dismissal of Frank Lampard, the Blues had barely threatened Liverpool's goal and some of their players need to ask themselves some serious...

    Football Manager 2008

    Em is having problems ( and, for once, its not my fault! ) She was with SUFC and had gone thru a season and a half and last night turned her laptop off and then turned it back on 2 hours later and for some reason the file is still there, by the game itself is not. She's tried reloading the game...

  18. It's not Tilly and Brush's fault we couldn't get Sawyer and HRK

    It's not like me to have a whinge at fellow SZers but people keep posting the same old rubbish on here about these two signings even though it's already been mentioned. Both Sawyer (will massively help Cov btw) and HRK signed on short term loan deals for Cov and Swin respectively - clearly by...

  19. All the Chelsea Positives

    OK, a bit disappointing we lost after such a brave couple of performances, but what do we expect playing one of the richest clubs in the world? Let's list all of the positives on this thread, because I think there are so many. To start us off: 1 Tilly & Brush have proved that they can play...

    Rafa's Ridiculous Rant

    Eagle-eyed readers will know that I had Liverpool to beat Stoke 3-0 in my weekend predictions, a bold but fair shout given the collapse in form from Tony Pulis' side. What you won't know is that just three hours after filing that article, I was sat on my sofa watching Rafa Benitez's press...
