  2. Ref Watch ..... Gillingham (make or break)

  3. Question Can we afford promotion ?

    We can't afford promotion in my opinion. Where is the money going to come from to pay higher wages in Lge 1 ? This squad of players won't hold their own without some significant additions. It's a viscious circle now that RM has ****ed the club up. So we go up and don't add any decent...

  6. Oil Company Profits

    So, in the interests of informed debate, the oil majors published their year end results this week. With the exception of BP (for obvious reasons), they all posted significant profit increases. Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

His refereeing career has progressed quickly making the National List just...
  8. Thoughts of a first time poster

    The club has been in freefall, but now seems to have stabilised somewhat, albelt with a fairly mediocre side in a fairly mediocre league. As a first time poster I thought you might like my thoughts. On the pitch we have seen a significant change in the system we play. I am still struggling to...

    FC - Final Match

    ShrimperZone CC v AFC Wimbledon How we could have done with this game mid season. Mostly reserve line up looking to bat out 3 days for gate receipts. We're already promoted so fairly insignificant other than for morale. Anyone got something more relevant?

    Cheap Gifts to Keep the Doris Happy

    Dear all, I was thinking when I received 2 PMs in the space of a week and had to turn down a beer before a Southend game due to prior commitments with the bird that I should start sorting my priorities. She is a good lass. However, not comparable to football. I hate that she does not like...

    Paris or Nikki Hilton?

    I wish to take this one to vote. Both have been in the papers a significant amount recently so I would like the opinion of SZ. Who would you rather sink your nuts into?

  20. Ref Watch ..... Norwich

    Our last three home games have produced no less than 24 yellow cards. Who is the man charged with keeping this impressive run going? Well, tomorrow night's match against Norwich will be refereed by the experienced official, Phil Crossley, from Bromley in Kent. This would be his eighth season...
