    The Never Everton Story

    And so ends a miserable weekend for the more prosperous end of the Premier League. Wigan's narrow victory over a lacklustre Everton at the JJB Stadium meant that, along with every member of the big four failing to score, every team in the top ten failed to win. The victory drags Steve Bruce's...

    Pre-Match Thread Ricey's Report. Cheltenham Town 25/11/08

    A Night at the Races. This Tuesday the 25th of November the Mighty Shrimpers have a nice away trip to Whaddon Road which is the home of Cheltenham Town Football Club. Our last trip to Whaddon Road was a night game on a cold friday night in February where we witnessed a 1-1 draw. A crowd of...

    BT cut another 10'000 Jobs this morning

    Very scary time at the moment not least in the job market. Telecoms group BT says it expects to have cut 10,000 jobs by the end of the financial year. The cuts will mainly affect agency and contract staff and offshore workers. And forget about whether General Motors will be able to retain...

    Gerrard & Co Give Scolari The Blues

    Apologies for the lateness of this, chaps. Should have been up straight after full-time. They may have come back from the dead against Manchester United in September and they might have turned the game around against Arsenal in Easter, but of all the teams to end their 86 game unbeaten home...

    If Mr Salmond gets his own way

    Alex Salmond says we should go our separate ways, with Scotland taking the oil. But would Scotland be any better off? According to Tyler's fag packet, a fiscally independent Scotland looks like this (2006-07 figures- for derivation see footnote): Domestic (non-North Sea) taxes: £40bn plus...

    Letter To Ashley

    After trawling through Mike Ashley's emotional 1664 word press release, Slipperduke has a few questions for him.... "I paid £134 million out of my own pocket for the club. I then poured another £110 million into the club not to pay off the debt but just to reduce it. The club is still in...

    The new signing. Whats the delay ??

    Well i have just read through 9 or so pages on who we are going to sign. I have to laugh at the more serious suggestions of who we are gonna sign. It would seem that certain people are living in cloud cookoo land. My point is why say we are gonna sign someone and then leave it a week or so...

    Luke Guttridge

    I've only just remembered this but did anyone else see Luke Guttridge at Dagenham the other night? As me and my brother were leaving the bar, he walks past us and orders a drink for him and his pal. We resisted the urge to go up to him and nut the little **** :hilarious: . He could barely see...

    Facebook Spambot

    For any of you that have Facebook on here and are a friend of mine, you will probably have seen the message that was left on your wall from my account in the early hours of yesterday morning. Regarding "legal bud" This was NOT sent by me, and after dong some digging on the net I found this...

    Euro 2008

    If you're a betting man you'll know that, during an international tournament, there are a few simple rules that will help protect your investment. Firstly, never back England, a nation of drunks who always choke under pressure. Secondly, always expect the home nation to outperform expectations...

    League one play-off's

    It would have been impossible for the ticket office staff to recognise them when they arrived. Clad in red and white scarves and speaking in broad Yorkshire accents, the Leeds United supporters who had failed to secure Wembley tickets in their half of the stadium surreptiously crept down the...

    The Pain

    At 23 I should still be somewhere near the prime of my life. Still have all my hair, wrinkles do not concern me and a beer gut has not quite formed into its glory yet (although 7 months of travelling is helping it along its way). Friends, colleagues and people I just generally know older than me...
  16. Come on you Shrimpers!!!

    Leeds fan in peace (we're not all b@stards). I really hope you do well tonight lads, we are the two teams with the best form entering the play-offs and that in itself would make for a brilliant finale to the season. I'm sure you are as nervous as we were, but take a step back, remember your...

    UK economy - doomed

    Rising food prices sent the UK's annual inflation rate surging to 3% last month in the sharpest increase in the cost of living in almost six years, the government said today. Data from the Office for National Statistics revealed that the government's preferred measure of inflation - the...

    Play-Off Omens?

    With us ending up in sixth place, I thought I'd look back through the history books to see how well teams had done in the play-offs from that position. And not too well, I'm afraid to say. In the 21 years of the play-offs up to last season, the team finishing bottom of the play-off group in our...

    Billy Paynter appreciation thread

    My heart sank as i heard on the radio more than once that a chance had fallen to Billy from X amount of yards out,only to be mightily relieved as he blasted high\wide today. After the JCR debacle of going out of the cup to a real fluky goal from someone who started the season with us i must...

    Avram Grant Part 2

    The lone figure on the touchline hunched his shoulders and pulled his long coat closer in the bitterly cold wind. Around him, 40,000 angry supporters howled at him in derision. "You don't know what you're doing!" they roared. "You don't know what you're doing!" The figure remained still, unmoved...
