    Players that left you gutted when they left...

    Got to say with events in my life at the moment (All good) football has gone on the back burner a bit but the departure of Marky Gower has left me gutted. I know he wasnt everyone cuppa but I really feel anyone who has played the game to any standard know the importance of a player like Gower...
  2. Team next season

    What team would you like to see starting the first game next year? If it is a new player you would like to see in that position, just put in an asterisk. Heres mine! - * - Experienced keeper Francis * - Experienced defender Clarkey Mulgrew * - Someone with a bit of pace and flair Bails...

    David James

    It is a testament to David James' resilience that he has worked so hard to overcome his injury in time for today's FA Cup Final, but the lure of the big game is only part of his motivation. James, for all of his heroics this season, is more aware than most that when it comes to the FA Cup Final...

    Everton v Chelsea

    Just recovered from watching a horrible game of football this evening on Sky. After this I can only hope that Liverpool do us all a favour and knock Chelsea out of the Champions League so we do not have to endure their brand of bullying no flair football. After seeing the entertainment and...

    The Gunners

    Just occasionally, maybe once a year at most, there comes a football match so beautiful, so intense, so frantic and so scoop-your-jaw-up-off-the-floor exciting, that it's all you can do not to fall to the ground and openly weep in thanks that you were able to watch it. This was an epic struggle...

    Barcelona

    Barcelona booked their place in the Champions League semi-finals with a 1-0 win over Schalke, but they were made to work for it in a game that could have been over by half-time, had the Germans taken their chances. Mirko Slomka's side were timid and over-cautious in the first leg in...

    Ric Flair

    Hero or villain? One of the greats, or overrated schmuck? Has to go down as one of the greats, if only for his catchphrases. Some selected highlights - Classic promo - http://youtube.com/watch?v=VomRP04cJ7M Flair vs Steamboat, 1977 - http://youtube.com/watch?v=jHG8lIlP64I Playing musical...

    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. Youth Team Latest

    May be wide of the mark but goin by the rumours from the paper industry's most trusted football pundit James Richardson from The Guadian, apprently in the january transfer window derby will be looking to bolster their league prospects with the signing of big target man Tashan Adeyinka, the...

    Forest scouting report v. Tranmere

    I thought I’d post on here because, for reasons that I don’t need to bore you with, I went to see Forest v. Tranmere and so I thought that I’d report back, albeit not being the most ‘football minded’ as some of you (to quote MK Shrimper). That might mean that my...

    They said what now?

    Good god what a slow morning, some of these made me laugh. "I've got all the passion, but no idea of tactics. I'd be like a black Kevin Keegan" - Ian Wright, when asked if he'd be interested in the England job. "I hear Glenn Hoddle has found God. That must have been one hell of a pass." - Bob...

    Objective opinion of JCR...

    Seems so many people are quick to have a pop at JCR - so personal feeling aside, lets discuss him from a footballing point-of-view. PROs 1) He is very quick - one thing defenders hate, hence they will stand off him and allow him room. 2) His workrate. Up and down the pitch, JCR never shirks...
  13. 3rd Annual Shrimperzone Wrestlemania Thread...

    Its almost that time of year again. Wrestlemania 22 takes place on Sunday 2nd April live at midnight on Sky Sports. And yet again, having promised myself that I'd make it over there with some mates I will instead find myself in Bournemouth that weekend watching the Mighty Shrimpers instead...

  15. How much do we miss Gutts?

    ... recently?? We havent won a game without him. I think we miss him loads at the moment. Without him we have no flair in the midfield. Well thats what i think anyway!

    but.....Mark Gower debate.

    I find this whole debate over Mark Gower a total farce. I cannot believe some of the utter b******s that I have had the misfortune to read tonight. All this talk of drop Gower, Sell Gower , Gower should never play for us again is I can only assume being said by people that have either never...
  17. Friday team

    Wondering if Gower and Eastwood will be back on Friday. I thought the team played extremely well getting a point, but wonder whether we need extra flair at home? My view is to play Wayne Gray away from home and partner Dudfield and Fredy at home. Would like to see Gower back for Friday possibly...

    Best available midfielder at the club

    As an alternative to the other thread and because I do feel a bit sorry for Pettefer with no votes (presumably because he's not the flair wide right player some people on here expect him to be): Please vote for your top 3 (1 being top). Only registered posters will be counted (sorry). Jay...

  20. Wrestlemania XX

    Anyone else going to be staying up and watching this on sunday night? I got offered a couple of tickets for $500 a couple of weeks ago and would have taken them if it weren't for having a couple of imminent university deadlines (damn them...!) Of course most of you will take the...
