  1. To cheer you all up

    Our last 3-0 defeat at home in the league was under Wignall. That was against Mansfield little over 3 years ago. We have of course also lost twice 3-0 live on sky in the cup since then. Our team that day was Emberson Jupp Cort Warren Stuart Gower Maher Odunsi Corbett Broughton...

  2. A lack of concentration or height?

    Anyone else share my concerns about the lack of height in our side when defending set pieces. I know Peter Clarke and Barrett are both excellent players and give everything but Clarke is only 6ft and Barrett is about 5ft 11. Let's face it, unless they use Italian tactics by pulling a few...

  4. Q.P.R. Saturday

    How many will we take? After last night if we can create the same atmosphere then we can lift the players. Is Roycie still at Q.P.R. if he is great reception for a legend. just hope if qpr score and i hope they dont he doesnt run around kissing badges towards us. Think Roycie's got more...

    Last nights game!

    Well firstly what a turnout by all us Shrimpers! The atmosphere we created was so loud, fair play to one and all! Even when we went 3-1 down we still sang! I was appalled by Leon Cort. We gave him a good ovation before kick-off and he couldn't even acknowledge us...

  6. Palace 3 - 1 Shrimpers

    This took too long to write. MtS has beaten me to it (and a good report too!), but I may as well post the fruits of my labours. Just got back from Selhurst Park. Here's my two penneth: First Half A great early break really set the tone for the first half, Bradders worked his socks off...

  8. Without stating the obvious...

    Our key to tonight is Freddy. More specifically getting the ball to his feet and getting him to run at their centre backs - Hudson looking like a battle ship turning round when Nicky Forster of Ipswich smoked him at the weekend. Leon Cort will be much more comfortable with the ball in the air...

    Who would be our centre backs?

    Once everyone is fit and the dust is settled we will have four centre backs to choose from: 1) Barrett 2) Prior 3) Sodje 4) Clarke Sodje is a strong solid defender reminds me of Leon Cort. Barrett is a reliable defender if ever we have had a more committed man to the club then tilson and maher...

  12. In all the excitement of Friday....

    I could be wrong (and I have had a quick scan of threads in the hope of avoiding being slammed down) has anyone seen that Peter Taylor's first signing for Crystal Palace is Leon Cort for a fee of £1.25m !! Thats a lot of money for a defender

  13. is anyone else worried?

    I have to admit to being rather worried about Johnson being sold for 8.5 million. They will need a replacement and clearly have cash. I've just seen this link, which now worries me even more, seeing as Taylor is local and has picked up a number of our players in the past (Lee, Webb...

  15. Summer signing

    A mate who was sitting infront of someone, who knows someone, who's uncle is related to Paul Brushs hairdresser, said that in the summer we are going to re-sign Leon Constantine and Leon Cort for our assault on the Championship. You heard it here first.

  17. Best Away trip

    My best away trip was Hartlepool away a few seasons ago when we dicked them 2-1 in the last minute. Took a sickey from work and flew to Newcastle for 22 quid and Rob Newman gave all 20 of us free tickets. After arriving in the Toon and getting plastered for 7 hours, we took cabs to Hartlepool...

  18. Managers making their transfer targets public

    Just a few thoughts on all of the latest 'Players refusing to sign their new contract' news. I think we should wait and see what Flavs, Dudfield, Che, Nicky and Jay do re their contracts, before we get too worked up about whether they will or won't sign. It would be somewhat ironic if a player...

    Just read a good post from Kenny about his memories of the last seven years and it he referred to the loss of Leon Cort and the Constantine fellow. Which was the greater loss? Take your pick. In Constantine we had found our first 20+ scorer for some time and many felt that loss would hurt our...
