  1. Friendlies during the Olympics?

    I have some football mad Amercian friends staying with us over the Olympics (in fact they have got far, far more tickets for the Olympics over there than we managed here) and are asking me to try and sort out some matches to see while they are here. Have heard that that none of the divisions...

    The french presidential election............and beyond

    From my Facebook Page A worrying night in the French Presidential Election............and my worry is not for 2012 but for 2017. Nearly a third of French voters chose to vote for the extreme left or extreme right, with a far larger majority opting for the latter. Between 18% and 20% appear...

    OD Play-offs

    Anyone else chewing fingernails today? Have a really tough game to keep my IV status. I'm already in one of the toughest divisions and could slip out into V which would be a disaster.
  4. What's going wrong with Kane and JJ?

    Kane Ferdinand is playing nowhere near the standard of last season. I would have expected him to be even better if anything. His mind doesn't seem to be in the right place. Possibly because of the interest from a few clubs in higher divisions. Whatever it is, he should realize that if it is his...

    Banking reforms

    http://gu.com/p/3xp48 I believe it was St.Augustine who said:"Oh Lord,let me be chaste but not just yet." Could some banking type please explain:- a)Why we have to wait until 2019 for these changes in the banking system to be implemented? b)Why the banks can't just be split up into savings...
  6. Tilson's new Lincoln

    I saw Lincoln play at Ilkeston yesterday - comfortable 4-0 winners - Laurent not included as he had taken a knock in training but Nicolau played the first half. I was really impressed by the way Tilly's new team played as a unit and it was amazing that they showed such understanding after no...

    The dominance of the NFC East

    Following on from the MLB trivia thread, where we discussed the fact that no NFL division has four teams that have all won a super bowl, I thought it was interesting to analyze which of the eight divisions has been most successful in terms of Super Bowl wins and appearances. With forty five...

    Memory Lane A nod to last year's unfortunately relegated superstars...

    They were too good to go down and merely relegated because the nasty chairman wouldn't pay them, so with the season go, let's look at each player and how they've done since obviously going off to better things as they were so good... 1. Steve Mildenhall - Millwall, appearances 0, enjoying...
  9. Yorkshire Blue

    Question Why've we a larger wage bill than clubs in higher divisions when we lose £1.2m pa?

    Can someone please explain this to me.
  10. League 2 teams unofficially rated

    Not sure what forum this should be in http://www.dectech.org/football_sites/football_dectech/rankings.php click 'divisions, england, league 2' if it doesn't come up found this at clarkeonenil of all places, but its not actually made by him so you'll be pleased to see we're not bottom. how...
  11. notorious ex-shrimper in action today!

    Just watched Jason Lee amble around for 90 minutes. Some nice touches, some lazy stretches, some commanding headers (including a goal rather harshly disallowed for a foul on the keeper), some awful failures to meet the ball in the air, some mild protests, some very casual shrugs. 39 now...
  12. Safe Standing- Government seeking advice on laws to review

    A message from the Football Supporters Federation. The new coalition government has pledged to scrap unnecessary and “nannying” laws. We believe that the ban on standing at football grounds in the top two divisions is just this. In England and Wales, you can stand in rugby grounds, at Speedway...
  13. Jonny_Stokes

    Sheena and Morris

    How are our rejects settling in? I've had it on good authority that Morris was only released because we're too skint to give him a testimonial. So neck-and-neck to see who goes out of business first, as well as enjoying a point-for-point battle in our respective divisions. Joy. J_S
  14. Treble combinations

    For the last 3 seasons I do treble combinations for all 4 divisions. Basically I split the league and make up trebles of fixtures from Division 1 and 2 and the Championship and Premier. I tend to do them randomly and am basically betting on more that 2.5 goals a game. In all there are 16 bets...
  15. When was the last time...

    ...that we beat a team 2 divisions above us? I'm not sure of the answer by the way.

    ShrimperZone FC - NEW PLAYERS REQUIRED

    This sunday ShrimperZone FC will be kicking off pre-season with a training session over at Victory Sports Ground starting at 10.30. The three mens teams are due to kick off the next season in Divisions 2,5 and 7 so we can cater for all standards of players. We are looking to strengthen all...
  17. The Idiot's Guide to Shrimperzone and SUFC

    Welcome to the Idiot's Guide to Shrimperzone and SUFC. There is a clear need for this guide, as we have so many "newbies" (see guide) joining, and many of our regular members seem to have become confused as to the purpose of Shrimperzone. This is guide is intended to be expanded, and people are...

    Southend United v Billericay Town

    I fancy the Shrimpers to have a few of Town's players in for a trial pre-season. With ex-shrimer Craig Edwards as boss and seeing Daggers take Danny Green from Town on a 3 year deal I think we may well renew our interest in Bricknell. We may as well look at Matty Hall too. Would be good to have...

    Picking the brains of Exeter City

    Has the trust made contact with the people in charge at Exeter City ahead of Saturday's game? My understanding is that the equivalent of the supporters trust down there took the club over when they went bust and out of the league. They may be in the relegation zone at the moment but overall...
  20. Scouts at SUFCvs Swindon

    Managed to see the car-park list on Saturday and there was scouts from all 4 divisions on the list. Manchester Utd and West Ham provided the scouts from the Premiership, while Sheff Utd (again) and Watford (again) were there from the championship. Charlton from Div 1 and Rochdale and Hereford...
