    Semi-match report

    I thought I may as well put my thoughts on the game up as I've barely been on since the game. As I mentioned before this match, the form of the home team compared with that of the away team and the relative league standings pointed only one way: Away win. Sure enough, the form book wasn't...

    Bournemouth game

    In spite of me vaguely defending our form in another thread, I've just noticed that Bournemouth are marginally ahead of us in the form guide having picked up 12 point compared to our 11 in the last 8. More notably, we've both scored 14 and they're only conceded one more goal than us in their...

  7. Too Easy

    Does anyone else share the view that the Club and Manager get off pretty lightly when they mess up. For example the pricing of tickets last night - the very low attendance would confirm that they got it wrong but it annoys me that there is no-one in the local media who will asks the right...

    Moaning Fans

    So some of us think us Blues fans are a bunch of whingers ?! Well overall I can understand the disappointment many feel at the poor standard of football this year after the excitement of the CCC and the promotion years before . Last Saturday was a sharp reminder of the ' good old days ' -indeed...

    Forest scouting report v. Tranmere

    I thought I’d post on here because, for reasons that I don’t need to bore you with, I went to see Forest v. Tranmere and so I thought that I’d report back, albeit not being the most ‘football minded’ as some of you (to quote MK Shrimper). That might mean that my...

    Mark Gower

    Today i had the misfortune of being at the end of a Mark Gower 4 letter rant! Mark has not been in the best of form this season (some might say he's been s**t) compared to previous seasons anyway. In fact today i heard that he may have caught something from JCR:hilarious: .Today in the 2nd half...

    Stupid Kiwi

    If you think the pain of the All Blacks' shock exit from the rugby World Cup will leave a permanent impression, spare a thought for student Kris Allen - a tattoo heralding the World Cup "winning" 2007 All Blacks is etched on his thigh. It would be a brave - or foolhardy - man to get a tattoo to...
  16. Is League One better or worse than you expected ?

    it now seems to me that the CCC was a different planet - watching us get caught by skilful fast breaking teams week after who could always finish - and now the best we've seen is the horrible O Thornton compared with the likes of Upson, Bale, Noble etc last year. for me it is worse than i...

    better team 2005/6 or 2007/8

    Thought I'd have a gander at the team that played in the fourth league 1 game of 2005/6 and compared it to the 11 that played yesterday: Southend v Huddersfield (20-8-2005) Flahavan Jupp (Hunt 10) Edwards Barrett Wilson Pettefer Guttridge (Bentley 75 ) Maher Gower (Goater 81 ) Eastwood Gray...
  18. Tilson Out !!

    Glad to see a decent manager at the Hall - nothing like a close up on BOOT-it Boothroyd to show us how football should be played - BOOT-it and win the throw in and then scrap for the corner - class tactics from the man who shook the Prem-****e. And seriously when is Tilson going to learn how...

    Thoughts from the East Stand.

    Right - Not going to talk about the game as there are a million threads on that however there are some other points I would like too touch on. Had a few drinks in the spread before the game as I have come to enjoy. Served by the ever friendly McNasty. Its fast becoming a Shrimperzone haven in...

    Rebranding of lower leagues

    Does anyoue agree with me that the names of the lower leagues (League One/Two) lack a bit of 'puzazz' compared to the sexy 'The Premiership' and 'TheChampionship'? My suggestions would be: League One = 'The Excellentship' League Two = 'The Goodship' (Lollipop?) any other suggestions?
