    Battrick

    86-0 from 14 overs. That'll do nicely!
  2. Essex v Lancs

    Too depressing to talk about the test, however I see Essex are nicely placed at 225-4. Grant Flower, my tip for player of the season, out just before tea for 115. Andy Flower (39no) to be joined by the skipper.
  3. Season's Ratings

    The Bluebelles (8): Maturing nicely now, I'm sure we'll see even more development next season. Service in the Far Post Bar (7): Better than last year by a mile. Food at Roots Hall (No Mark): I didn't dare try it. The Chairman (7.5): Time will tell for sure, but I think we've...

    Champagne

    Do I take bottle of champagne (chilling nicely in ice box) in the back of my car tomorrow? Or is this tempting fate? Views please....
  5. Oxford / Yeovil

    Tough trip to Oxford next. 3rd game in 9 days. It will be a tremendous effort to go there and win and would set us up nicely for the Yeovil game. Midfield for the Yeovil game? Guttridge McCormack Maher Bentley A bit tasty eh ! Cheers Glen

    sufcintheprem's views and ratings

    Well, we were all a bit gutted from Cardiff but managed to pick ourselves up to make some decent noise. Not to be outdone, Orient were in decent voice too and it had all the makings of a good derby atmosphere. The game started fairly slowly with Southend having the better of early exchanges...

    Few points

    After arriving late to the game (again!) we missed the first five minutes but not, it seemed from the atmosphere, a great deal. The game was trudging along with a few half chances before Wayne Gray picked up a tidy crossed pass from Eastwood and superbly opened up space before lashing the...

    Moyet

    Alison Moyet is touring around April/May time, so in the UK. The Yeovil game is between concerts. What about it Scriv? Coup of the year if you could book her to sing Blue pre match. Would set the scene nicely for what should be a key game.

    Bristol Roll Call, away attendance and score.

    Driving with BobC, Napper and Leeboy in the car . Score 2-2 Maher and Bramble 843 away fans (oops nicely edited ) Was gonna work a half day today but woke up and thought sod it. Will pick my crew up at times already agreed. (Won't be online again so give me a call with problems).
  10. Promotion hopefulls

    Boxing Day Yeovil face Cheltenham. Cheltenham who are on 32 points, will more than probably rocket into the promotion places if they win, however the likely result of another home win for Yeovil will leave them with 43 points and another step nearer their aim of automatic promotion. Darlington...

    Tes out of Saturday

    Tes out Bo**ocks sums it up quite nicely. Fredy, your time has come.

    The ref tonight

    We've got Andy Woomer in charge tonight. As it's a name I can't remember off hand I decided to look up his reports on Rate The Ref: From Bury 1-1 Chester on the 21st August: "That ref was as bad as they come. I'm sure he didn't mean to be but he was totally biased...
  13. The Toughest Task In Sport?

    Tom Dart, writing in 'The Times Football Yearbook 2004/05', sums our lot up quite nicely : "Despite the four promotion places on offer, some teams continue to make elevating themselves out of the division look like the toughest task in sport. Step forward, or rather sideways...
  14. Good riddance,

    Yet again, Tilson/Brush have come up trumps with another signing. Wayne Gray is the box fox we needed and will do what we all expected "Bazza" to do! Exciting prospect of Dudfield/Gray or even Broughton/Gray. Gray would pick up nicely on Broughton's donkey work! Nice to...

    Roots Hall this Sunday

    Your very own Shrimperzone FC (currently on a 1 match unbeaten run - our best ever streak ) are taking part in an eleven a side tourney on the hallowed turf this Sunday with group games at 11am, 12 mid-day and 2pm with semi-finals and finals from 3.30 pm if we get that far. Realistically this...

    The fbm view and ratings

    What a game! Anyone neutral watching would have witnessed 90 minutes of great entertainment, and surely would have wondered how on earth we have spent the best part of 40 matches near the bottom of the table. Hulls travelling army always give great support, but you know when Blues are playing...

    INDIAN CURRY RHAPSODY (to the music of Queen – Bohemian Rhapsody) Naan, just killed a man poppadom against his head had lime pickle now he's dead. Naan, dinner's just begun but now I'm gonna throw it all away. Naan, ooh, ooh Didn't mean to make you cry If I'm not back from the loo by this time...
  19. Athlete

    Saw Athlete at Brixton on Saturday and have to say they were absolutely amazing. I really like the album (a typically English record following the Kinks, Small Faces, BritPop lineage) and was looking foward to seeing how the songs came across live. The crowd were totally up for it and were...
  20. Mr Bush

    While on his state visit to England, George Bush met The Queen, and during their conversation he said: "As I'm the President, I'm thinking of changing how my great country is referred to, and I'm thinking that it should be a Kingdom." The Queen replied "I'm sorry...
