Shrimps or Shrimpers

[Uncle Leo]

Surely a corporate hospitality dream - what with all the prawn sandwiches.

I read another reference to 'prawn sandwich brigade' in The Times today and it got me thinking: was Roy Keane the actual inventor of that phrase or did he nick it from somewhere else?

Either way, it's quite impressive when you think how it has entered the football lexicon and is now, only a few years after getting coined, a term everyone understands.

Maybe we could get that Victoria Coren off of 'Balderdash and Piffle' on the case. Hubba hubba.

I think for them to consider it they'd need more than just your shellfish agenda...

I think Mr Keane deserves the praise for the phrase, as well as the other praise that should be heaped upon his shoulders - and to think I used to hate him. Which is a topic for a new thread in the boozer.

Wish the club would drop this - The Blues thing.....It far to Chelsea and Birmingham like for my liking......

And - worse of all - Colchester! Some things are good to change but this isn't one of them. That "Blue Army" chant doesn't help but "Shrimper Army" just doesn't have the same ring to it!

I don't actually, "Shrimper Army" has a nice ring to it and it would be unique to us!

Come on boys and girls, who's up for replacing "Blue Army" with "Shrimper Army"?

Trouble is sung to the "tune!:eek: " of Blue Army, there is a danger that "Shrimper Army" will sound like "Shrimperama", which will make it sound like a current affairs programme for crustaceans.

So? Still unique! We could give it a try.
