    Ribery Set To Shine

    With Euro 2008 now less than 100 days away and UEFA showing no signs of inexplicably kicking anyone out of the tournament to make room for England, it’s time for acceptance. Naturally, this acceptance will come easier to you than it will to me, which is why I decided to get the heads-up on a few...

    Feed back please.

    Hi all. I play for my local football team- Hadleigh Athletic, and have been writing match reports after the games. Ive always had a liking for writing, especially football reports. Just wondered if anyone would mind reading one of my reports and telling me if they think its any good. Its a bit...
  3. Fave US/Canadian Sports Teams

    From the Superbowl thread I can see a lot of interest in the NFL amongst Zoners, wondered if this spread to other US sports. Having spent 5 years in Canada and the US, I am a big fan of all four major US sports, and I follow these teams: NHL: Montreal Canadiens. (Seen them live twice)...

    Gilbert -

    Why hasn't he been used? I know he's got supposed attitude problems, but this is a right back who tore up the championship at points last year, and still manages to have a contract with Arsenal, who are notorious for releasing young talent. To drop someone after five games or whatever it was...

    Set pieces

    something we have been terrible at this season. if i remember rightly we've only scored from one this season? when teams come to roots hall its clear a lot of them come with a game plan to shut our midfield down and they look for the counter account. when teams get a corner or free-kick we look...

    sufcintheprem ratings

    Seeing as its been a while since I did these and, for a change, I'm not doing the slightly arduous 2 hour journey home, I thought I might put up my thoughts on today's game. All in all, we weren't really that bad overall. Oldham succeeded where many other clubs have failed in the past and...

    When Girls dont put out.

    When girls don't put out!! This was written by a guy ... it's pretty damn smart. Girls -- Please have a sense of humor! I never quite figured out why the sexual urge of men and women differ so much. And I never have figured out the whole Venus and Mars thing. I have never figured out why men...

    Assault??

    As I mentioned on a thread yesterday me and a few mates have started in a 6aside league in Laindon, anyway yesterday we had a match against a physical team who were probably all in their 30s or late 20s. In trying to get the ball before the keeper one of our players clipped the goalies leg. The...

    Who would win in a fight?

    First he angered Matt Harrold by impyling he was ****, then he incurred the wrath of the whole primate world by implying Franky "The Gorilla" Banks didnt deserve a second testimonial - But now he has really gone and done it.... Ldn Fatso's (aka Steve the Slagger) one man mission to annoy the...
  10. The Way it is in the West Stand.

    usual half hearted, disorganised warm up - everything looking a bit slack and careless e.g. Darryls kicking and distribution but its League One and the opposition can't really play. Loads of good old hoofs and a bit of head tennis - Matt Harrold looked fit, trying to put himself about and...

Sadly I have become aware that maybe running a mile in under 6 minutes is never going to happen, Playing five a...

    What was the game like tonight

    Didnt go tonight but the saw the crowd was 7606. Not bad at all from the Southend public and can only enhance the chance for England boys up to under 19 level playing at the hall. What was the game like? Whenever i have seen womens football it seems a bit less physical and like a non league...

    For those who don't know...

    Here is a list of the teams that were in this league the last time we got promoted here in 1991. Whilst obviously teams can have good or bad seasons, a point I made in another thread about financial clout and size of team (in terms of support, not physical stature) is emphasised massively when...

    FAO Mods : Violent smilies.

    Why does Shrimperzone allow acts of graphic violence such as :thump: , :guns: or :flamer: yet prevent me from calling someone a ****, a ****** or using **** either as an expletive or as vulgar slang to describe the physical act of love?
