    Strike

    Muslim suicide bombers in Britain are set to begin a three-day strike on Monday in a dispute over the number of virgins they are entitled to in the afterlife. Emergency talks with Al Qaeda have so far failed to produce an agreement The unrest began last Tuesday when Al Qaeda announced that the...
  2. Coleman Cast Into the Championship Graveyard.

    Another season in the Premier League graveyard grinds to a halt and Chris Coleman departs Coventry, charged with the heinous crime of failing to take them aboard the Barclays gravy train. Who’d be a manager in the Championship, eh? Such is the stature of the second tier of English football in...

    English Football Not ****ed. Yet.

    For the first time since 2003, the Champions League will enter the semi-final stage without English involvement. Lyon, bane of Liverpool, will play Manchester United’s conquerors, Bayern Munich, while Barcelona will bound on from their mauling of Arsenal by taking on Inter Milan, the club who...

    The simple joys (that probably only make sense when you're 50)

    It seems that the older I get, the keener I am to preserve what's still good about life in this battered island. An example ... went into a pub in Penzance earlier this evening to check out whether it would be a good place to see some World Cup action in approximately 11 weeks' time. I'd been...

    Set Pieces

    Is it just me and my Dad who thinks that we never look like scoring from set pieces, yet the oppo always do? Or is it just a trick of the pessimistic mind? I've never seen this discussed on the Zone, and keen to know some thoughts?

    School Fundraiser

    Looking for some ingenious ideas here.... As part of our Lent fundraising, we've taken the parable of the talents (Matthew 25:14-30; Luke 19:12-28) and given every form group £5. They have just one month to bring it back 'with interest' before Easter. I'm keen for my form to do well, and...

    A worthy donation

    Hi all, I know that a couple of you know Iain. Iain was told that he may never be able to walk again following his accident and is now in training for this year's marathon. A remarkable achievement for a keen sportsman (ex Essex 2nd XI - cricket) who has had his dreams shattered by this...
  8. Arsene Wenger: The Gift and The Curse.

    Such is this success of the Arsenal Ethos under Arsene Wenger that those who question him are instantly vilified by the Gunner’s faithful and, believe me, they have a point. No other Premier League manager can boast an unbeaten season, or even claim to have attributed so much to the progression...
  9. So no Perkins.

    Stockport have signed a number of players including David Perkins (who we allegedly were keen on) and the legend who is Jabo Ibehre (good luck there). Oh, and Jemal Johnson (who used to be a bit tasty).

    Breaking News Scott Spencer to sign

    We had him on trial before Christmas and he scored 2 in a reserve game. We're apparently keen to sign him and we've now offered him a permanent deal so it should be wrapped up very soon. Tilly may well look at bringing someone else in at the back now that Morrison is returning to Swindon...
  12. Betsy returns

    http://www.bucksfreepress.co.uk/sport/localsport/4829018.Betsy_returns_to_Southend/ I'm rather worried about the statement - Southend seem keen to keep hold of him. :stunned:
  13. All At Sea fanzine

    Hello all, I'm quite bored at work so thought I would try and canvass a bit of opinion on All At Sea. Many of you on here will read it, but equally, many of you will not, and I want to know why not? We notice that our readers are mainly 25+ and are keen for younger Shrimpers to read it. I...

    City Must Be Patient

    There's no doubt about the identity of this weekend's biggest fixture, is there? It is, as we have said many times already this campaign, 'a big weekend for Rafa Benitez'. Mind you, it's an even bigger one for Mark Hughes. After splashing more money than Victoria Beckham and Coleen Rooney...

  18. What Becomes of the Broke and Shafted

    Someone great once said that Football isn't a matter of life or death, it's much more than that. Which would explain the pain felt by those when their football club is ripped away from them. As a Southend United supporter, I've had the good grace of never witnessing non-league football and...

    Who Should Replace Rafa?

    It's 6pm on Sunday evening in Merseyside. The last supporter trudges out of the Anfield turnstiles, his head hung low. Red scarves are left strewn amongst the litter in the aisles of the Kop. Somewhere outside you can hear the gleeful chorus of 'Glory, Glory Man United'. Liverpool have been...
