    SZ Away Day 2008 / 2009

    Chaps, Just wondering are there any plans for a Shrimperzone trip overnight at an away game in the second half of the season? I know Bournemouth away was planned last year and it didn't work out, but thought it would be nice to perhaps discuss any possibilities for another / gain interest etc...

    Rafa's Poisonous Glow

    There is a frog in Central America, the strawberry poison dart frog, that is born bright red as a warning to predators of the poison that lurks in its blood stream. It is not the only creature whose colour signifies danger. Certain snakes, insects and the oft-spotted Rafa Benitez all share the...

    Back In Business

    The roar, when the whistle finally came, was loud enough to shake the stadium to its foundations. A late Rafael strike and six minutes of injury time almost proved too much for the Arsenal fans who were in anguish at the prospect of another late capitulation, clutching their heads in their...

    Home is where the points are. After two successive defeats on the road, Manchester City returned to form at The Eastlands, picking up a much needed 3-2 victory over FC Twente, but they were really made to work for it by Steve McClaren's new team. England, under the former Middlesbrough...

    The Song Remains The Same

    There is a feeling among the journalists who cover Arsenal regularly that, in the event of a calamitous keyboard malfunction, they could probably file their latest match report using a hastily-assembled hybrid of old ones. A quick rummage through 'My Documents', they claim, would deliver all the...

    Question Occupational pension query

    If you receive a company pension, I know it's income-tax liable but does a pensioner pay NI contributions, especially if retirement is taken early? Sorry to be dull but I need to know.
