    Mugabe

    Other than Oil - can someone please explain the difference between Saddam Hussein, Osama Bin Laden and Robert Mugabe and why we only seem to be pursuing military options in two of the three cases (Iraq rather than the original obviously) Incidentally I was at an event last night and got...

    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...

    Leeds United

    The dream that they lived under Peter Ridsdale has long since faded into a memory but, for the supporters of Leeds United, it's taking a lot longer to wake up from the nightmare that followed. Defeat at Wembley to a spirited and creative Doncaster Rovers means that it's another season in the...

    League one play-off's

    It would have been impossible for the ticket office staff to recognise them when they arrived. Clad in red and white scarves and speaking in broad Yorkshire accents, the Leeds United supporters who had failed to secure Wembley tickets in their half of the stadium surreptiously crept down the...

    The Silly Season

    When I lived in England, IIRC the silly season was in August. Have to say that it's started early on here. Personally.....I LOVE IT!!!.....every item of transfer news and every rumour, from the plausible to the totally implausible ......I lap it up with more enthusiasm than our cat does with...

    Bless The Old

    Toward the end of Sunday service, the Minister asked, 'How many of you have forgiven your enemies?' 80% held up their hands. The Minister then repeated his question. All responded this time, except one small elderly lady. 'Mrs. Neely?'; 'Are you not willing to forgive your enemies?' I don't...

    Best to wait until the dust settles

    I decided against posting last night when I got back, for 2 reasons really, 1 I was ridiculously tired, and 2. it's not always a good idea to post on here when emotions are runing high after a game such as that..... However, afrer a nights sleep (well a few hours) my opinion hasn;t changed...

    Hull City

    Hull City, a gritty northern side who were in the bottom division of English football just four years ago, are now 90 minutes away from the bright lights of the Premier League. Manager Phil Brown only took over in January 2007 when the Humberside team were paddling in the relegation zone, but...
  10. Ref Watch .... Donny away

    Our referee for Friday night needs no introduction to Match of the Day viewers or other Premiership football watchers. Mark Halsey from Bolton is the man in charge. He has been a member of the Select Group of referees since its inception in 2001, he is a FIFA referee and refereed this year's...

    Gretna to close on May 17th ??

    They lived the dream, going from L3 to the SPL in 3 seasons, but at what cost ?? Reports suggest that they will close on May 17th unless a buyer can be found

    A thread for all you old fella's, ex cashies and trainer fiends out there to discuss casual threads from back in the days. What did you like and what just looked weird I'll kick off C17 baggy jeans - Classics Adidas Gazelle's, in club colours, a classic that has stood the test of time...
  13. whatever happened to part 3

    the lack of response to the whereabouts to the levy brothers, makes me wonder how many of the others still follow the shrimpers. this time we looking at scruffy previously mentioned and mr kidney transplant first off scruffy, he worked at peachys in basildon, and used to do unspeakable things...
  14. Is this the Golden era of Southend United?

    In all the years I've been watching Southend its the best of times. Crowds are higher than they have been for over 30 years, we are playing good football. have a great manager who is Southend through and through and a new Stadium on its way. We are are even starting to have a few Cup runs and...
  15. The NHL Thread.....

    Following on from ESB's NBA thread which has sparked off a lively debate, are there any other NHL fans out there? I have Canadian ancestry and lived there for 5 years so I had no choice but to love the game, and I am delighted to see the Montreal Canadiens topping the Eastern Conference with...

    Huddersfield Fans view on the game....

    Basically, it pains me to say it but it's true. Huddersfield Town Football Club are an absolute ****ing joke. From top to bottom, the awards we won the other week are just papering over the cracks. First of all, regarding the match - we weren't very good. Southend deserved to win, they played...

    Have you seen enough action in life?

    A mate of mine is getting married. Anyway went out for a beer a few weeks ago and one of his main reasons for being unsure was that he had smashed enough women in his time. His numbers stand at 5 which is pretty dismal considering he is 30 odd and not a bad looking bloke (Not that I think that...

    Securing The Future, Letting Go Of The Past

    It’s been an emotional day. Well, it’s been an emotional day for you guys anyway. I spent the morning frantically trying to make Chelsea’s routine victory over Olympiakos sound interesting and I didn’t even know that the new stadium had been approved until Cricko phoned me up and told me. For me...
  20. Lennox Lewis and Greg Rusedski

    It really annoys me when the achievements of Lewis and Rusedski are belittled by English sports fans becuase 'they're Canadian really'. I lived in Canada for some years, my son was born there, and has joint citizenship. If he grows up to excel in a sport, and chooses to represent England, I...
