    Ricky Gervais

    According to various newspapers he's in trouble for using the word **** in various jibes on Twitter. IMO it's a nasty word and is definitely a shortened version of mongol, which is now better describe as Downs Syndrome. IMO Gervais is a smug self satisfied tosser, and I hope this is the...
  2. Carlos Tevez

    So I was just interested in finding out the ShrimperZone opinion about Carlos Tevez and what happened with him last night. I'm slightly biased about this because I've got him in a Fantasy Football game and need him to be playing but anyway I'm feeling slightly sympathetic towards him. Mancini's...

    Most amazing match I've ever seen

    I'll always be a Shrimper first and foremost and if they ever played Brisbane I'd be wearing blue not orange. However yesterdays Grand Final is the most amazing bit of drama I've ever seen at a football match in my 30 years of going to games. For anyone who didn't get up at 6am to watch it on...

    Delhi Games deploys large black-faced monkeys to scare away smaller red-faced simians

    Headline on BBC Sports site. Discuss.
  5. A bit of respect and perspective?

    So we got a great win last night. And Paul Sturrock has assembled a new squad of players in a relatively short period of time. And it's all different and new and there's some promise of what might be achieved. I also have a lot of regard for what Paul Sturrock has achieved as a manager at...

    manor15's Football League Round-Up: Week 1 (7/8/10)

    Boys and girls, ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the football season, and in particular the brand-spanking new npower Football League for the 2010-11 season. After a summer of World Cup action in South Africa, the country, well at least a small part of its', eyes switched to Carrow Road on...

    Why I loved tonight.

    Well..., apart from the solid team performance and one or two great individual displays it was the first time in (my) living memory when West Ham fans didn't clearly outnumber Shrimpers fans at Roots Hall. They were outnumbered and outsung. Those who know me will know that I'm not an advocate of...

    Administration essential and Sainsbury's

    Administration essential even if Blues find money. Southend United should be placed into administration, even if they clear their current tax debt of 238k, the taxman has said. Catherine Addy, representing HM Revenue and Customs, described the club as "demonstrably insolvent", a persistent...

    Plodding Snore-fest Is No Reason For Complacency

    Algeria 0-1 Slovenia ENGLAND SHOULDN’T TAKE THESE TWO TEAMS FOR GRANTED An awful game, bereft of class and style, but if England fans think that they can relax, they should think again. There was just enough in this strangely compelling display of mutual ineptitude to concern Fabio...

    Stanley Cup

    Final of the Stanley Cup is taking place in the NHL between rough and tumblers Philadelphia Flyers and the creative Chicago Blackhawks. The first game of the series final was played last night and Chicago won 6-5. This Stanley Cup Play-offs have had some big shocks with Montreal knocking out...

    How has your side done this season?

    Following on from the exiles football team thread, I thought I'd see how the Zoners are getting on in their own football sides, be it Saturday or Sunday. I know most on here play for SZ but it will still be interesting to hear. My side won the League on Sunday following promotion the week...
  12. Would you have her courage?

    On Mr B's "Pictures of Birds" thread, Boris posted up a picture of a lady called Sarah Jane Howe. It was a bit different from the others on the thread because, as Boris pointed out, she seemed to have no nipples. Below is her story - and as asked in the thread title, would you have her courage?

    Countdown

    You may have seen this story, about a slightly unfortunate combination of letters on the Countdown board the other day: The last letter was G... and it transpires that both contestants went for the rather lame 5-word efforts of "Caged" and "Faced". Two thoughts: 1. The second contestant is...
  14. Tilson's greatest acheivement?

    Forget the promotion to league 1 and the CCC, forget that when he first took the job and kept us in league 2, forget the games in the LDV and Man Utd, Chelsea and Spurs. IMO, considering everything that Tilson has faced this season and embargos, sacking of his assistant, players not being...

    "Crisis? What Crisis?"

    I just wondered if anyone might care to join me in a little levity - to chuckle in the face of adversity whilst we contemplate the current difficulties faced by our beloved club. I thought it might be time to play a tune or two. Now I'd like to propose this ... if you were a DJ, what song would...
  16. Cristiano Ronaldo

    Superb piece about Cristiano Ronaldo by Sid Lowe. Not only focussing on the shiney faced footballer, but also the bonkers coverage by the Spanish press! http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/blog/2010/feb/22/cristiano-ronaldo-real-madrid-villarreal

    Chester City face expulsion.

    Surprised not to have seen this posted anywhere. Maybe it is and I've missed it. Its not looking good for the club:- Chester City face expulsion from the Football Conference The Football Conference Board has confirmed it will recommend to its member clubs that Chester City be expelled from...

    Cheryl Cole. Grrrr.

    There are a million and one reasons to dislike Cheryl Cole. There’s her colour, for starters, a curious orangey glow that smacks of either too much Sunny Delight or too many quid-a-minute South Shields tanning salons. There’s her husband, the odious little skraeling who earns more money in the...

  20. Can things get any worse?

    A lot of fans feel very depressed about what's been going on at our club recently, but can things get any worse? I'm afraid the answer is yes. The one great thing we still have at this club right now is Tilly & Brush. They've proved what they can do on a tight (but reasonable) budget and in...
