  1. New Season's Resolutions

    Ta-raa Ronaldo!

    Beep beep! Come on Ronaldo, I'll drive you to the airport myself. It's long past time you left. I've had enough of the diving, the whining, the cheating, the feigning, the petulant tantrums and the rolling around on the ground and, you know what? I doubt I'm the only one. On behalf of my fellow...

    Memory Lane Special Report on SUFC's previous homes

    Nice piece from the Echo's site today (I know there's no paper today), could have gone in the other forum I guess, but thought it kind of went alongside the Hall of Fame stuff we've been doing. Sing the Blues for stadiums past 12:10am Saturday 30th May 2009 Comments (0) Have your say » By...

    Fergie Must Quit

    I have a dream. I have a dream of Rome, May 27. I see Rio Ferdinand lifting the Champions League trophy, I see Wayne Rooney throwing his shirt into the crowd, but most of all, I see Sir Alex Ferguson leaning into a camera crew and, above the roar of the crowd, giving them the scoop of their...

    The Caption Game

    Simple: Post a funny caption for the picture, the funniest will win green rep! Feel free to post pictures that could have funny captions too. Enjoy! I'll get the ball rolling with an image:

    You Laugh You Lose

    Rules are simple. A pic is posted. If you laugh at the pic you reply "I lose" and tell us how long it took for you to laugh. If you don't laugh you have to post a pic you think will make others laugh. I'll set the ball rolling.

    SZ Novella - Chapter Four

    Chapter Four - We Fade To Grays "Old Blue Lady," grinned Shackleford as she approached the table, holding Ricey carefully by the earlobe. "You came." Old Blue Lady lowered her squirming guest gently onto a barstool and stepped away, leaving him clutching his ear in annoyance and glaring up at...

    Ryanair Economies?

    Went through the 'ryanair experience' this weekend ......out of Bergerac.... and there was I thinking that Carcassonne was a pathetic excuse for an airport! Anyway, with ideas of automatic boarding passes and coin slot toilets to save money, I thought it would be a good idea to ask on here...

    Question What are you reading?

    Perhaps not quite as Facebook friendly as what music are you listening to but I imagine a few Zoners might be interested to know what their fellow Shrimpers are currently reading. To get the ball rolling I'm presently enjoying Ian Sinclair's mammoth "Hackney,That Rose-Red Empire". It's an...
  10. Ref Watch ,,,,, Scunthorpe

    Well, the entire team has been re-appointed three weeks after calling off the first match just minutes before the kick off. That means the man in charge of the match against those Scunthorpe players who are not suspended will be Keith Hill. Little to add to the comments I made at the time...

    Question Bas Savage

    It's simple really. Is Bas Savage the most ridiculous footballer you have ever seen play at any level. He more than worth the admission fee today. What an absolute clown. It is the only time I have ever seen a player go down to a backdrop of people laughing at him. The rolling around was...

    Would you support Col Ewe if you got paid £1M

    Listening to the breakfast show on Absolute radio this morning, and they were quizzing a Spurs fan on how much he'd want to start supporting Arsenal. O'Connell started the ball rolling with a figure of £10,000, then it got up to a £1,000,000. And the bloke said yes to it. He'd agree to cut all...

    Evening Wasted On Pointless Big Cup

    Through, but only just. Chelsea survived a scare to book their place in the next round of the Champions League, but their progression was anything from straightforward on another nervy night for Luiz Felipe Scolari. Roma's victory over Bordeaux meant that this result was academic, but there was...

    Happy Birthday

    As I am the one still awake, as always I wil get the ball rolling with a Happy Birthday to Mrs Gower!

    Who is he/she?

    Following the success of the who are you thread, how about a who is he/she thread? Basically you answer on behalf of someone else, then nominate another regular poster and someone answers on behalf of them and nominates someone else and so on. Might be quite entertaining or might develop into a...

    Friday Games

    Following on from the cricket one a while back, here's another one to waste your time on over lunch. To get the ball rolling, my best score is 2.6m! http://www.foddy.net/Athletics.html

    Well, that b*ggered up the first draft...

    Extraordinary. Just when you think that you've got the measure of this ridiculous sport, along comes a game so remarkable, so unexpected and so astonishing that you need to sit down and take a deep breath before you can even start to make sense of it all. Tottenham Hotspur's impetuous comeback...

    Latest match report - my highlights SOUTHPORT 2-3 REDDITCH UNITED By Andy Mitchell The Reds came back from two goals down to beat the league leaders at Haig Avenue and fully deserved their three points for rolling up their sleeves in difficult conditions. United made one change to the side...
