    Post-Match Thread and Ratings Col Ewe 0-1 Southend United

    One of those great days in football... the sun shining, our first visit to a new ground, a full away allocation, plenty of needle and lots of reasons to laugh at your neighbours who couldn't even fill their tiny stadium on a day like today when Southend were in town having failed to win away for...

    Liver-fools

    The return of Robbie Keane to White Hart Lane may have brought an end to his miserable six months on Merseyside, but it leaves Liverpool fans with one pertinent question; just what on earth is going on behind the scenes at their football club? On the pitch, in their most important season for...

    The Foran issue - my take.

    Firstly, I don't know what he has done in the past and frankly I don't care. It's nothing to do with me. But whatever it is, we have to bear in mind that the people paying his wages for whatever reason are happy to not include him in the matchday plans. That was clear from day 1 of this...
  4. Robinho Walks Out On City

    News breaking at the moment saying that, after hearing about City pulling out of the Kaka deal, Robinho has done a bunk from their tenerife training camp. They've made frantic calls to try and locate him but, as yet, they can't. Rumoured to have flown back to Brazil. And the whole city...

    Joe Cole

    Did anyone really think he deserved the abuse he got when he went down injured? It was clear he was in a lot of pain, and was not putting it on. Moreover, he accepted Grant's apology whilst being very injured. There was no attempt to make out that Grant had caused the injury either. Can some...

    Corny Christmas Pick-Up Lines

    OK, it's Christmas Party time (well, for those of you who work at any rate), what's the cheesiest line you've ever heard? Mone (and I'll stress I've never used this): "How's about pulling a cracker?" "By the looks of you darling I think I already have."

    Random YP

    i was bored at work so thought id make my umpteenth attempt at pulling a decent bowler... i ended up with this.... Anton Cadette (2319600) RH Batsman, RM Bowler, respectable batting form, respectable bowling form, lively fitness. A steady player with abysmal leadership skills and...
  8. Penalties are ignored

    every week we see defenders grappling with forwards inside the box,the rules clearly state something along the lines of any pulling or holding inside the box will result in a penalty kick. i was sitting in west W and had a clear view of box "fouls" which were all ignored. both teams were...

    Was spotted pulling in to the Roots Hall Car park yesturday to watch the game...... about as much update as you can give for him as he rarely gets off the Oldham bench

    Ramos Must Take The Blame

    Tottenham Hotspur may have taken their place in the draw for the second round of the UEFA Cup, but not even the most ardent of their fans will have been convinced by this lacklustre, disjointed performance. Despite taking the lead in the second half and, in doing so, wiping out the danger of the...

    Fright Night For Scolari

    Hi all, apologies for the lack of these recently. Not been too well, so just been filing and then retiring back to my sick-sofa. Back now though with more ill thought-out, poorly constructed critiques of the rich and famous. And so without Freddy Adu.... If Manchester United's victory in...

    A ShrimperZone eleven...

    Our starting line-up... Like I say, we're trying to bring new people in, but it's tough out there and we don't have a huge amount of money. I think the team we have below for this season includes some of THE best partnerships but, well, you know, we're still keen to bring in another 5 or 6 to...
  13. Distribution from defense!

    Last night was probably one of the most embaressing passing displays from a centre back pairing in a long time. It also reminded me of the slump we had last season where we played awlful football and never loooked like winning resulting to the long ball every game. Every time clarke and barrett...

    Midweek Funnies

    There are two Mexicans who have been lost in the desert for weeks, and they're at death's door. As they stumble on, hoping for salvation in the form of an oasis or something similar, they suddenly spy, through the heat haze, a tree, off in the distance. As they get closer, they can see that...
  15. What's your pulling technique?

    I'm off to Malia in Greece next tuesday and was chatting to afew of my mates about our pulling technique's the other day. Personaly, I just stand around, give afew girls the eye and a cheeky little smile with a smouldering look and they go weak at the knees, always works for me! My mate try's...

    Laptop charger...

    A few months ago whilst on my laptop I needed the loo. As I got out of bed my foot caught the laptop charger cord...pulling the piece that inserts into the laptop and bending it. A first I thought this could be triviual. But as time went on my laptop would only charge if the cord was in at a...
  17. Squad

    I no there are other threads on this but after todays game just wanted to seek other peoples opinions on how many players do we really need. So far we have GK: Mildenhall, Joyce LB: Herd RB:Francis CB: Barrett, Clarke. Sankofa apparently can play across the back four...but i dont feel to...

    Cristiano Ronaldo's endorsement

    I interviewed Ron Harris, the legendary Chelsea defender, at Stamford Bridge once and it was a real eye-opener. As we sat, drinking coffee and chatting about Jose Mourinho, people walked past with their eyes on stalks. Fathers could be overheard telling their sons, "That's Ron Harris, that is...

    Is Ron saving his pennies to bring back Freddy ?

    Can't help wondering if all this 'lack of activity' in the transfer market points to us pulling off one or two big deals . Tilly evidently and correctly has been told to cut out the dead wood and trim the wage bill to a minimum .Progress has been made . Bringing Fred back would guarantee...
  20. Unlucky Lads

    Don't want to say too much for fear of gloating. We were good again last night and it wasn't the fault of your team that you lost. They never gave in either and you have to give credit for that. Great support too and helped create a superb friendly atmosphere between both fans. Saw a car...
