    Question Goalkeeping options

    No one on to this yet, so I shall start the ball rolling. Let's assume the worst and say Mildenhall is going to be out for a period of time with an injured ankle.......what do we do? Do we take a chance on Joyce or Masters making a name for themselves, or do we bring in an emergency loan...
  2. The real cost of watching Football...

    Now, according to Virgin Money, the average regular fan of a Premiership football team forked out £1,331 (5% of average salary) supporting their side in 2007. This covered the cost of tickets, merchandise, travel, food, alcohol and match programmes. One in eight dedicated fans paid out as much...

    Civic Centre Car Park

    For those of you like me who used the above mentioned car park last season & before, how many saw the blatant p!ss take by our penny pinching council? They have now introduced parking fees for what used to be a free car park. The new fees go: 1 hour 80p, 2 hours £1.50, 4 hours £4.00! I might...
  4. Last nights other match vs Norwich United

    Feed The Animals - Girl Talk

    If you like 2ManyDJs then you'll love this mash-up album. Here is the Rolling Stone review (they gave it 4 stars) "Big ups to the fair-use principle of United States copyright law: Pittsburgh DJ Gregg Gillis says that's what allows him to use hundreds of unlicensed samples in his music. On...
  6. TV Pick of the Day 09-05-08

    Of course....most of you lucky gits will be at the game and those of us that can not get there will be watching it on Sky. But If there is a slim chance that someone is not watching it for what ever reason.... These are my recommendations for tonight. For you Apprentice fans..Mr Sugar in on...

    Songs for Brian Wheeler's last match

    Friday night may be an important occasion but we should not forget that we will be saying goodbye to a legend that night too . Thought that we could have some special music to mark the occasion and wondered if fellow zoners would like to suggest something appropriate I'll set the ball...

    Liverpool v Chelsea Champions League

    Tonight, for the third time in four years, Liverpool meet Chelsea in the semi-finals of the Champions League. Football’s most festering rivalry is back and the dirty war has already begun in earnest. There’s something very strange about the relationship between these two teams. They are...

    New music festival where you choose the bands

    Have you guys all seen this? Now Triptych is finishing, Tennents have launched a new music venture in Scotland. I've been heavily involved along the way with the branding of it, but I think its an absolutely superb idea (provided loads of ****ty Kooks fans don't get on there). This is the...

    Turkey striker, Nihat.

    While England’s footballers sulk in their sun-loungers, the rest of the continent will be contesting the 2008 European Championships. Iain Macintosh, who still won’t allow the word ‘McClaren’ to be uttered in his home, runs the rule over some of the potential stars of the summer. This week, it’s...

    The Olympics

    I went along this afternoon to see the Olympic Flame pass through our nation's fine capital. I for one, am excited about the prospect of the Olympics coming to Britain in 4 years time. For me there is something special about the Olympics going all the way back to its roots in Ancient Greece...
  13. A review from Neverland

    Well it all began last night at about 10pm with the suggestion of making the trip along the M25 and M4 to Swindon. Clearance was received from our driver's girlfriend and waking up after 6 hours sleep (watched the test match) to the tune of "we are going to Swindon", the excitment set in and...

    Official SZ Match Report - Huddersfield Town

    I think Matt & James are otherwise detained today, so I am just going to post my report as a thread on here (instead of it being uploaded to the main page - for the time being!)

  16. The Jobson Years

    Hi everyone I've been reading this forum with interest. I'm now ready to make my debut. Firstly, a big thank you to everyone associated with running Shrimperzone. One thing that strikes me is that most people's views on here are so black and white. So, I'm going to present a balanced view on...

    Jets vs Roar live on Sky

    My adopted team in Oz (Queensland Roar - see my avatar) are live in Sky Sports 2 early Sunday morning for their all important clash against the Newcastle Jets for a place in the A-League Grand Final next week. The standard of football is OK if not earth shattering so if you're up early Sunday...

    A song.

    Whats a song that you really rate, that you get excited about when you hear it? For me, it's gotta be Oasis - Wonderwall, as theres many memories attached to this singing it out in the cold with a few mates and his acoustic guitar. Such an iconic song, just oozes class. I've set the ball...

    Seat for life at new stadium?

    This is a letter that my father-in-law has sent to the club, the echo and has asked me to put it on here to see what your thoughts are - In a nutshell, he is suggesting that instead of getting everyone buying shares which are effectively worthless with such a large controlling stake, the club...

    Scudamore Puts The Squeeze On

    Do you think that the people who run football will ever get to the point where they have enough money? Can you imagine them, sat atop a glistening mountain of gold coins, clad in rare velvets, adorned with crowns, drinking 19th century red wine and thinking that perhaps they‘ve gone far enough...
