    Michael Timlin's Teammates

    From last week's Football League Paper, Michael Timlin spoke about his teammates: Best mate? Anthony Wordsworth. I have a couple, but Woody has been my roommate for a number of years. We've been quite close for a while, but we have a good core group of people who really get on at the club...
  2. Pre-Match Thread Doncaster Rovers v Southend United

    Rovers fan in peace. You will win this coming Saturday. We can neither defend nor score. Our midfield lives in no mans land and adrift both the defence and attack. Our new striker May runs around like a headless chicken and Marquis who was our top scorer last season, cannot score for love or...

    The money in football

    Is it me or has football gone mad. Rank average prem players going for 20 million +. Championship players going for 15 million. It's complete madness. I don't think it will be long before league 1 clubs start regularly start paying 1 million + for players. Something has to give. It's a sad...

    Web site down - 2 suspects identified

    The loss of the Shrimperzone site has been put down to 2 main suspects. Either a group of disgruntled Blackburn Rovers computer hackers or North Korean special agents looking to gain revenge for the United Kingdom's support of increased sanctions. My money's on The Glorious Leader ...
  5. Jermaine McGlashon - Signed boots

    Dear all, we are Cardiff City fans and my son has won a pair of Nike Mercurial Vapor boots signed by Jermaine McGlashon. He was very excited to win them but sadly they are too small for him. They are great boots so we wondered rather than them sitting in his bedroom whether any Shrimpers fan...

    Ron's Deep, Deep Pockets

    Apologies if this has been discussed among the many transfer threads around at the moment but of the back of the turner & kightly announcement and the possible "wow" signing still to come I'm asking myself, have we ever had a wage bigger wage bill? I don't know what these ex-prem guys are on...

    Billericay Town

    What are you making of Billericay Town and their owner - he seems like an interesting bloke. Putting a lot of money into the squad and making changes to matchday, not sure how much dough he has, but seems intent to take them up a few levels. If they did get into the FL - then at least its an...

    The club are asking about sponsorship next season. Provided we can raise the money ( £492 ) we will be sponsoring Ben Coker again.
  10. Oh dear, and I thought they were a club who matched his ambition ;

    Experienced striker Noel Hunt, signed on a one year deal after leaving Southend last summer, which came after spells at the likes of Reading, Leeds and Ipswich, isn't in Pompey's future plans. The noises coming out of Fratton Park, before Paul Cook left for Wigan, were positive surrounding...

    Aaron Lennon

    My sincere best wishes to Aaron Lennon, who last night was taken into hospital, re Mental Health issues. Many people will think or comment, why ? He has money, cars, a wonderful life style many of us would want, but just because he has these finer things of life, does not mean he is happy...
  12. Question Ron Martin

    Is Ron Martin as bad as some people make out? Personally as a chairmen goes I think he does a great job. Has always backed a manager when needed, and always given managers time when on a bad run. Keeps the club running efficiently and invests his own money (yes it may be for his personal gain...

  16. Southwark Council

    44 staff earn more than £100,000 ! Council workers at the top end are raking in our money,yes it's our money. What do they do for 2 grand a week...probably as little as possible. We are told hard pressed councils cannot fund whatever...too busy with their own snouts in the trough. How many...

    What happens to corporate profits?

    If I have money in a bank, it's protected up to £85,000. What protection do big companies have when they make £billions in profit?
  19. Famine...here we go again !

    The media now bombarding us with the "crisis" in many parts of the world with the term "children" in the forefront. Hmmmm all those charities and of course the hand outs by many countries all adds up to massive mountains of money BUT charities are pleading for another 5 billion dollars to halt...
