    Time For Chelsea To Grow Up

    WHAT’S GONE WRONG AT CHELSEA? For six years, Chelsea have been a relentless winning machine, but that arrogant sense of superiority has faded away. In its place is hesitancy, vulnerability and a worrying inability to dictate the flow of games. Chelsea are dropping points so frequently that...
  2. Shut Up Wenger...

    When Ryan Shawcross trudged off the field in tears, the last thing the lad needed was to be hounded by a sense of indignation from Arsene Wenger and a loud collage of journalists and Arsenal fans alike. So, imagine the disgust when the pitch forks and stakes came out... The challenge itself...

    Backlash against the Bankers

    I know we may have one or two on here, but just wondered what, if any campaigns people have signed up to... Firstly we have Billy Bragg's NoBonus4RBS - "If you pay tax in the UK, you are a major shareholder in several banks - Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS), Lloyds and Northern Rock - who were...

    Nothing To Love At Team England

    So farewell, John Terry. Stripped of the captaincy for stripping his mate's girlfriend, and several other people's girlfriends by the sounds of it, we shall not see his like again. It's all so thoroughly grubby and pointless and it's a massive blow for England's chances of summer glory. Terry...

    Cameron speech

    Live on the Grauniad site. Great quote just now: This idea that for every problem there's a government solution, for every issue an initiative, for every situation a tsar ... it ends with them making you register with the government to help out your child's football team, with police officers...

    Golf Query

    Right, handicaps. I know how they work, in that you have a number which you take off your final score to allow balanced play. I'm down with that. Is there anythig else to it? I keep reading things about takig strokes off particular holes according to their ranking, but that all sounds very...

    I am Trying To Learn To Play The Guitar.

    .....and my fingers f*****g hurt. Ok, so I thought in the post Mrs LF era, I'd do something different. So I've invested in an electric guitar (no gay acoustic **** for me, its not rock n roll enough). It's black and has knobs on it. I can play all the basic chords apart from F coz that's dead...

    Block W next season - Please join us!

    It has been confirmed, that Block W in the West Stand, will be the official Blue Voice section next season. As most of you know, this has been our adopted home since formation a little over a year ago now. Now, this isn't our preferred base, we all know where that is! But it is the best...

    Who is willing to volunteer their name/SZ name?

    Anybody interested in me using their name for a complicated feature in the next few issues of AAS. I am planning to do a season on FM09 with Southend and write about what happens etc. in AAS and try and relate it to how the real Southend are doing as much as possible. However I need a name for...

    Could this be really positive?

    Our luck is appalling... Walkers injury sums everything up. Laurent, Revell, Freedman... all out for a while and Barnard only half fit at the best of times. This actually now forces Rons hand. In my opinion this is by far the biggest positive. The loan rules are complicated but if I...

    Mobile Phone Question

    My wife needs a new phone. She seems to get on well with Pay as You Go and has about 50 quids worth of credit on her current sim, which is Tescos. I wanted her to get the Iphone but she doesn’t like the screen. I looked online at the LG Viewty. Does it have a standard keyboard? Is it any good...
  13. Crop Marks - Hadleigh

    Having an interest in Archaeology, I wondered if it was possible to use Google Earth to look for cropmarks. My Father in law has said that there is a Roman Villa in the field at the back of his house (Tattersall Gardens) so I took a look. Can't see anything in that field, but a few fields along...

    Colchester to ground share Roots Hall ? Fiction or Friction ?

    Incredible story - do we want these inbred's contaminating our place ? Colchester to play at Ipswich or Southend Colchester United will need to play most of their home matches at either Ipswich Town's Portman Road or Southend United's Roots Hall grounds for most of this season. The...
  15. Doncaster away - myth and reality....

    of course no-one wants to talk about it ...... but ...... The widely accepted myth now seems to be "we didin't turn up" and "one or two players let us down" but is this really how it was ? For me it was not quite like that and it was a bit more complicated - I don't even really buy the "Donny...
  16. Myspace question....

    I am hoping the people of Shrimperzone can help me out here, I'm wondering is there a way to put songs onto a persons profile if you can't find them on the Music section of Myspace on the artists profile? Don't worry if it's a long and complicated process just wondered if it was easy and how to...

    Feed The Animals - Girl Talk

    If you like 2ManyDJs then you'll love this mash-up album. Here is the Rolling Stone review (they gave it 4 stars) "Big ups to the fair-use principle of United States copyright law: Pittsburgh DJ Gregg Gillis says that's what allows him to use hundreds of unlicensed samples in his music. On...

    Don't you wish that you had written this? Subject: Passport Application Dear Minister, I'm in the process of renewing my passport but I am a total loss to understand or believe the hoops I am being asked to jump through. How is it that Bert Smith of T.V. Rentals Basingstoke has my address...

    Chelsea v Liverpool

    Frank Lampard has never been the most popular of footballers, certainly not with fans of other clubs, but you'd have to have a heart of stone not to stand up and applaud his astonishing composure after a emotional night at Stamford Bridge. Seconds after seeing a goal they were already busy...
