    Hattrick update

    So folks, as the season draws to an end - next week being the last week of the regular season - how have our campaigns shaped up? I'm on my way back up to Level IV, although I'm worried that I'm not going to be able to maintain my gates following promotion (shurrley shum mishtake...?!) - I've...

    Dealing with getting old

    In recent months, I've come to realise that I have absolutely no idea what I want out of life. Around me, several of my very best friends are doing the unthinkable and crafting lives and careers out for themselves, some even going so far as moving to the other side of the world to avoid having...

    One to Start the Weekend (week 9)

    As Dave's on holiday I've been made caretaker manager of his "One to Start the Weekend" slot. First thing I thought when browsing YouTube for some classic tunage was "how on earth does he pick just one song each week?", so as the cat's away I'm going to spoil you with "Three to Start the...

    PFA Awards

    Ronaldo gets both the Young Player and Players Player of the year award. Fully deserved IMO. At present, he's the most exciting player on the planet. I know the World Cup thing leaves a bitter taste, but him getting Rooney sent off didn't cost us a place in the Semi Finals. We were largely crap...

    So who goes, who stays?

    I've watched this tounament aghast that all the promise we thought we had after winning the Ashes has apparently vansished before our very eyes. Flintoff looks like a number 9/10 batsman, Vaughan offers nothing beyond his captaincy (which seemed avaerage at best at times) and we had the now to...

  8. Tilson might know what he is doing...

    "Mechanistic" v "Psychological" I have read the threads debating both Tilson's wisdom over signings, and the perceived demise of Shrimperzone with interest. Here is a thought. Tilson, Brush and Martin know exactly what they are doing, and are working to a plan which balances success on...

  9. Freddy Eastwood. The numbers.

    Common consensus is that Freddy hasn't been great this season. I think thats harsh for all the various reasons that have been gone into many, many times now (no service, better defenders who double-mark him, no Goater alongside him) but if you strip away all that and just look at the numbers...

  10. Suffolk Shrimper In Dorset

    The answer to all this doom and gloom

    Is to sign one or more of the following in the Jan transfer window: 1. Teddy Sherringham (still not g'teed of regular play at WHU) 2. Chris Powell (finding life a bit hard now in the Premiership) 3. Stan (free agent, complete gamble, but what have we to lose now?) They would all be great...

    Most annoying British Nation

    For me the British Isles and the Union Jack is a bit of a joke as basically it seems to me that all the other participants seem to hate us. Nothing seems to bring the other British nations together more than their hatred of good old England. My question today is who are the most annoying of...

    I only ask as one of my mates is a Brighton fan and tells me that Mark McGhee is soon to get the boot as the fans are calling for his head.. Purely as an idle comment and no rumours to be started off this as its just two mates in a car talking but he said "We should go for Paul Brush". ( Cue...

    What do you miss?

    Was on the phone to my old man last night and we were talking about this new division. Basically we are both enjoying going to new state of the art stadiums, big crowds and big name players but part of me does miss the bottom division. So I am here to start a list of things that were good about...

    Would you enter my fantasy Championship comp?

    Right, we're going to put this on ice just for a few days and have a think about how to do it. For pickledseal's (I think!) information, it was only going to be for the Championship. Doing the league's below would be far too much effort and the Premiership market is saturated...

    Cricket Update

    Just noted that... * In what is probably a dead rubber in the C&G, given the way that Sussex has dominated the Southern division, we beat Kent comfortably in the competition on Sunday. * England were hammered again by Sri Lanka in London - first at Lords, now at the Oval. Not good. * Andy...

    Bring Back the A team

    Needless to say Mr T stole the show but Steven J Cannel (the producer of the A team) was pretty cool and I was impressed that he had Mr T's gold necklaces in his mansion! However, the presenter was one of the biggest tw@ts I have ever seen in my life and his A team knowledge was sketchy...

  19. Walsall's #25

    Was it only me who saw him intentionally aim an elbow at Maher's nose today? I think its about time officials brought context into decisions, for instance Local derby's are treated with a relative caution, so why not players who are carrying injuries? Aiming an elbow at a broken nose is...

    Cracking edition of FourFourTwo this month... largely because there is a big article on the Essex derby.  Jamie Forsyth is to be commended on some particularly choice quotes about our bucolic rivals from the north of the county: <span style='color:blue'>"Col******r is a footballing backwater,"...
