    Help For Heroes

    Thought I would post this up as I feel it is in aid of a really good cause, even if it appears on the Col Ewe site. Colchester United announced that they will be holding the "Game of History" Celebrity v Army football match on Sunday November 2 The people behind the celebrity Soccer Six...

    Which young'un was asking about paramedic training?

    Can't remember which of the youngsters it was, but someone was recently asking about paramedic training. Well, in the Echo jobs section today is the following advert: Earn While You Learn - We are looking for new recruits to train to become future Paramedics. Starting salary 17,797 pa + uo...

    2007/08 season

    For all the moments of high drama, the goals, the saves and the tears, I've got a funny feeling that the 2007/08 season will be remembered as the year that the owners of football clubs across the land finally lost their tenuous grip on reality. It's as if there is a private competition between...

    Sun Benitez

    Liverpool finally joined up with their compatriots in the last eight of the Champions League on Wednesday morning and sent out an ominous message to the rest of Europe in the process. Inter Milan will complain bitterly about another harsh red card, but the truth is that they have been absolutely...
  6. You want cars.....?

    KTM X-Bow We love the fact that this wild-looking KTM car came about after a bunch of enthusiastic engineers from KTM decided to build a fun sports car. Usefully, they had some friends at nearby Audi who came up with the powerplant - the 236bhp 2.0-litre turbocharged unit that's found under...

    Slipperduke's Glamorous Assignment

    Liverpool’s senior side may not be performing as well as we all suspect they could, but Reds supporters can rest easy in the knowledge that the next generation are doing just fine. Liverpool’s reserve side dished out an emphatic 2-0 beating to Manchester United’s second string on Wednesday...

    Keegan Factor

    I’m writing this match preview moments after watching Kevin Keegan’s first press conference as Newcastle United manager since 1997. When he walked into the room, I’ll be honest with you, I felt a little bit tired and maybe a bit stressed about the deadline that was closing in on me. But after...
  9. Richie Hanlon - Football Manager

    Saints name Hanlon boss Relegated Nationwide Conference side St Albans City have announced the appointment of Richie Hanlon as their new manager. The 29-year-old is well-travelled having plied his trade with Southend, Peterborough, Rushden & Diamonds and Cambridge United more recently...

    bigweekends.com

    Most of you will recall our shirtback sponsor last season, bigweekends.com - but does anyone know what happened to them? I heard they were in trouble with BBC Watchdog and their website is no longer active - have they folded? Shame if so, they were really enthusiastic sponsors (the website had...

    Alan Ball tribute

    As has already been suggested in another thread, our final game of the season will be an opportunity for Southampton Football Club to show their respects to Alan Ball. Their plans have been revealed, the following article having appeared in today's Southern Daily Echo: SAINTS FANS TO APPLAUD...

    There's a Moose (Moussa)

    Sack Tilly? Drop Freddy? All reasonably insane suggestions, but slightly off the mark. Today though, I come to you with a relegation-dodging wheeze so foolproof, it might as well be the lovechild of the Two Harry's- Redknapp and Bassett. The solution, my friends, is to play Frank Moussa...
  13. Tommytwoholes chips in....

    I have been keeping a close eye on shrimperzone in the last week and it would appear that the recent harmony that we have enjoyed on here is starting to disperse. The main reasons for this seem to be as follows: A) Certain players getting stick and others taking exception B) We have forgotten...

    Stoke it up - a match report

    Well what can I say We beat an average/poor Stoke side that we were expected to beat, by a single goal, a penalty at that But there were so many good points Hammell looks a star in the making, a great crosser of the ball, good defender and takes corners. Daryl made some excellent saves...

    Thurrock Vs Bishop's Stortford

    I haven't got time unfortunately to do my usual round up, but I thought I'd post on here about the game I was at yesterday. Instead of having to nervously keep track of what we were doing via Sky etc, I thought I'd go along to a match, and being a 10 minute drive from Dagenham...

    Back from Rotherham...

    Just got in... HOW f%&kING GOOD IS IT TO BE A BLUES FAN AT THE MOMENT!?! We did so well, though 4-2 maybe flattering as they hit the bar a couple of times, but then again, Goater should of had a hat-trick within 10 minutes of the restart! Bentley was wandering all over the...

    "And the next game is at home to Yeovil City"

    so I take it we have seen the last of Jeffa but jees, where in heavens did we find the new guy? He doesn't seem to have much of a clue about the players or....anything for that matter. He seemed about as enthusiastic as an underpaid gigolo being asked to go down on a pensioner. Brian...
  18. Drum Lessons

    I know I mentioned this in another post but hey... If anyone is looking for drum lessons, I have a few vacancies going at the moment due to circumstances I won't bore you with. I'm young, enthusiastic and qualified (diploma with distinction in drums and musical performance) and have...

    Moyet

    Last banged on about this idea pre Yeovil game....apparently parties were enthusiastic but she had a prior engagement. Well, what about trying to sort something out now? Maybe need to wait for the fixtures to come out, then give her the list & ask her to take her pick. As a True Blue...

    SZ player of the Year

    Last season it was Mark Gower, the season before Leon Cort. Who is it to be this season? As soon as the Trust announces when the Trust player of the year awards will be, we will hold a poll here. Get your thinking caps on. Could it be Adam Barrett, solid at the back and scorer of vital goals...
