    When times were worse

    Ok, things aren't going brilliantly at the moment, but lets remember where we came from. I've been tidying some boxes this week, and stumbled across a copy of the Swansea Evening Post, dated Saturday December 13th 2003 (apologies, but this is obviously written from the perspective of a Swans...

    Two-headed baby born in Bangladesh

    A baby has been born with two heads causing crowds of 150,000 to surround a hospital. Police were called in to control the throngs in Bangladesh amid fears of a stampede that could crush the boy, named Kiron, and his 22-year-old mother...

    Life In The A-League

    Before I headed off to Oz I said I'd write a regular blog about what it's like supporting a team on the other side of the world. Here is my first effort by way of an introduction to the Queensland Roar - Queensland Roar vs Adelaide United – 24th August 2008 Come On! Imagine this scenario...
  4. Revell

    Thought i just pass over my views on this player.I've haven't seen player who is so determined or commited down at Brighton for quite some time.He will run and run all day making a big nuisance of himself which you can't fault. Now the downside to his game.He isn't a prolific scorer,probably get...

    Sir Bobby Robson

    a real shame but it seems to have been on the cards for a while. From the Sun website. ----------- BOBBY ROBSON has won countless battles during a career which has earned him a permanent place in the nation’s hearts. But his latest fight, sadly, will be his last. English football’s favourite...

    Farnborough vs Southend United XI

    A Southend United XI went down by a single Mark Gamble goal to nil to Farnborough at Cherrywood Road this evening. Gamble headed home 18 minutes from time for the BGB Southern League Premier Division club, with Alex Revell coming closest for the Shrimpers when his second minute free-kick...

    Insurance Claim Form Quotes

    These are brillant! True extracts from UK Insurance Claim forms; These were collected by Norwich Union for their annual Christmas magazine. "I started to slow down but the traffic was more stationary than I thought." ----- "I pulled into a lay-by with smoke coming from under the bonnet. I...

    Piri,Piri and sardines!

    Me and the Mrs had a week away ( without the sprogs) in sunny "Portugal which as anyone who has pubesant children time on your own is as rare as hens teeth. Anyway we was enjoying out time together, barbecues, alfresco dining and in the words of Austin powers " I found my mojo". I decided to...

    The fbm view - Canvey

    I'm not going to do a report as such, but will offer just a few comments about tonights performance... if you can call it that having drawn 0-0 against a poor Canvey outfit. This time last year a side containing such stalwart strikers as Billy Paynter and Matt Harrold thrashed Canvey 6-1. We...

    Had this e-mailed to me today...

    thought i'd share it. Headed 'the guy's rules' 1. Men are NOT mind readers. 1. Learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down. 1. Sunday sports. It's like the full moon or...

    Diary of a Shrimper in Devon

    Saturday (Early) The alarm went off bang on 5 and hit the wall at 1 second past, my reflexes are still pretty quick even at this god awful hour. Get up and stand on clock. Scream and kick clock. Scream louder as I remember I have nothing on my feet. Clock looks all smug as I limp to the...

    Counterfeit Ipod

    Was wondering if anyone out there has any contacts or advice for me. My daughter wanted a pink Ipod for her birthday and stupidly I managed to get one from someone seemingly reputable on ebay. As it goes it looks as if their account might have been hacked so not entirely my fault! Now prior to...

    England v United States

    And so the recovery continues. Fabio Capello's patient, paternal treatment of the blundering failures who shamed the nation last year is, little by little, beginning to pay off. He hasn't asked them to play in strange formations, he hasn't made sweeping changes, he hasn't even announced a...

    Lee Trundle is overweight

    Lee Trundle is overweight, he has a double chin and if he entered the 100m sprint against a tortoise, an elderly shirehorse and a small brick, no-one could guarantee him a place on the podium. He has also just put Bristol City one game away from a place in the Premier League with a strike that...

    A Kick Off Tactic

    Watching friday nights game again and noticed straight away Doncaster punted the ball right into the corner putting the pressure straight on us. Maybe one we should try? Or just pass the ball around getting a feel of the ball. I reckon we should do it in the second leg due to the occasion...
  16. Ref Watch .... Port Vale

    Probably just as well we had an experienced level headed referee at Tranmere, some of the keen-to-get-on upstarts would probably have carded Macca and Bailey. Anyway for the final round of normal matches, Leeds get their customary Select Group referee and we have Andy Woolmer from Northampton...
  17. Just got back

    To my girlfriend's house in Liverpool. First brief impressions: crap game, unimaginative attempts at playing football with intermittent quick forays forward with no real end result (from both sides). The major news has to be Bailey's headbutt on Macca. Exactly what happened and what blows...

    Celtic v Rangers

    I'm told by my Scottish friends that when it comes to excitement, you'll have to go a long way to beat an Old Firm derby between Glasgow Rangers and Glasgow Celtic. I've always been a little dubious of that claim. After all, I've been to Tottenham against Arsenal. Could it really be anymore...
  19. Should I stay or should i go????

    After the abusive e-mails i have had from the odd couple of posters (you know who you are) saying i should quite ShrimperZone, it got me thinking, if i am not welcome then should I go. Please please do not see this as a blow smoke up my ar*se thread or batter me to death thread. I know that i...
