    Cheltenham 2018

    With under 2 weeks to go I thought I'd start up this years Cheltenham thread up. Who look like the bankers this year? Buveur D'air, Apples Jade, Altior, SAMCRO? Where is the value to be found? I don't think the standard is as high as previous years overall, so there is going to be value bets...
  2. Does Jon Venables deserve execution?

    Following on from a very brief discussion in a seperate thread a few months ago, it's been confirmed today that Jon Venables is to once again stand trial for possessing indecent images of children. I'd like to gauge people's thoughts on whether Corporal Punishment would be justified here...

    Peterborough away, help convince me.

    I have a problem and I think some others may have the same issue too. I'm undecided on whether to go to Peterborough or not. I can think of many cons of going and sadly not enough pro's. So I call on fellow shrimpers to advise me of the pro's of going to said match, please help me.
  4. Congratulations Colchester United.

    It would be churlish not to acknowledge Colchester United being awarded The Football League Family Club of the Year. An award to be proud of. Of course it should have read Small family club of the year but lets not begrudge them their one and only success this season. I suppose it must have been...

    Labour Party Conference 2014

    Group A - Brazil, Croatia, Mexico and Cameroon

    Group A, the group of the host nation, and possibly even the favourites. It seems that the draw has been kind to Brazil, and they will be expected to qualify from the group easily. The battle for second place and qualification to the next round will be close, with all three of the other teams...
  8. Gary Rowett on BBC Radio

    Not sure if anybody else had heard the Burton Manager this evening on the BBC website being interviewed after the match but it sounded to me that he was trying to convince himself (as well as everybody else) that it all ultimately went to plan today and that playing SUFC (vs. Fleetwood and York)...

    Only You

    Building on the feel-good factor of the last few games, how about trying to get a SUFC 'anthem' going? In the TBV sub-forum, I suggessted this song from Yazoo, and it was met with a positive response, so I thought we could put it to the vote :unsure: Yazoo, were a band from the 80's, formed of...

    Question Is Shrimper Zone addictive?

    So many times and for various reasons I have decided that I would not come on here anymore only to come back for more. Its it bit like my seaso really, every season I convince myself that I will not renew... but I always do! So is SZ addictive?
  12. Question Exeter away tickets

    Hi all. I have managed to convince a few mates to come see us play Exeter away and was wondering if people were more likely to be sitting or standing as don't much fancy being separated from the majority of people. How many do you think we will take? That's all, thanks and have a good day

    Vale struggling for players

    Just seen this on a vale forum, looks like they are struggling. And for probably the first time this season we have practically a full strength squad available and also competition for places etc. I actually feel like we have a geniune chance of a good run coming up. Valiants short of numbers...
  15. Vodafone

    Found this on another forum, had me in stitches! Dear All I thought I would share my ongoing, and unresolved, problems with Vodafone in case anyone had never used their crummy tax-avoiding service before. In summary, I have spoken to a total of 14 (forteen) different customer services...

    Vote of no confidence for Gove

    This would be an interesting move.... <link> I loved this quote: I do thing that general contentment amongst teachers, as with many public sector workers, must be at record low in recent times. Now before we get into "public sector workers don't know how good they've got it" debate - and...
