  1. Ref Watch ... Oldham (H)

    Saturday's match against Oldham will be refereed by the experienced official, Phil Crossley, from Kent. This would be his seventh season as a League referee but as he missed all of last season through injury, I guess it's really his sixth. The two previous seasons were both interrupted by...

    January Transfer Window Activity.

    I know I maybe jumping the gun a bit but I always look forward to the activity that the transfer window brings. And we all love sitting on the Zone with SSN on with the last final minutes ticking down and seeing what last minute panic buys Southend United and every other team buy. So my...

    Shepherd's Bush Shrimper's Scunny Report

    Apologies for the delay with this one. Makes less depressing reading than reports of our humping in Bristol though.... It’s fair to say that the North Lincolnshire and East Yorkshire region is not a happy hunting ground for us Shrimpers. We very rarely seem to pick up points at the lovely...

    Sir Bobby Robson

    a real shame but it seems to have been on the cards for a while. From the Sun website. ----------- BOBBY ROBSON has won countless battles during a career which has earned him a permanent place in the nation’s hearts. But his latest fight, sadly, will be his last. English football’s favourite...

    Bristol City v Hull City

    There can’t be many people who, when the Championship season began, thought that today’s SG$120m Play-Off Final would be contested between newly promoted Bristol City and almost relegated Hull City. In fact, if you’d have asked an expert, or even if you’d just have asked me, you’d have been told...

    How Green Will the Stadium Be?

    It would be a good idea to make the stadium as green as possible. Not only would that make us look good, it will save us money and also help the environment. For example, the amount of rain water that falls on a roof that large would easily be enough to water the pitch in the dry spells and...

    Sleeping Through The Dawn of Capello

    There’s something very special about setting your alarm to go off a couple of hours early and slipping out of bed to watch the sun come up. It’s uplifting to watch a new dawn break, with a mug of coffee in your hand. To think about the possibilities and the opportunities, to convince yourself...

    Barnard...From a spurs POV

    "As a Spurs fan who also watches the reserves, I've seen a lot of Lee Barnard since he joined us. He's got the heart of a lion, will chase all day to turn a half chance into a chance. He was scoring goals for fun up until just over a year ago when he got a long term injury. He was rated by...
  9. Any thoughts on Bowditch

    of Ipswich, does have the ability to be a good player and must be eager to move away from Ipswich as he does not figure in the first team anymore! Only 21 and does posses skill, I know Brighton have used him for spells but his loans have never been anything but loans perhaps a loan with veiw to...

    Atmosphere at Roots Hall - Part Two

    I am not on here to have a go at anyone , but I thought that the atmosphere was pretty cack again yesterday . From where I sit in the SSU I could here more noise from the relatively small band of away fans than anywhere else - Only twice could I hear the Blue Voice Brigade . Maybe it was to do...

    First test v Sri Lanka at Kandy

    I hear Agnew reckons there will be a fair bit in it for Harmison or Anderson, based on the nets. Having been out to the middle this lunchtime I'm not so sure. Whilst the square is nice and green and the nets had a green tinge, the pitch they are going to use doesn't. I haven't been able to do...

    Attacking Balance.

    I don't want to turn this thread into one where certain players (Harrold and Hunt seem to be the faviourites for this at the moment) but something that struck me on saturday was how unbalanced our attacking play was. By this I mean it all came down our left-hand side. Gower and Hammell were...

    Stiff's Tonight v Ipswich: Match Report

    An excellent evening's entertainment watched by a crowd of 415 at Portman Road. The 5-4 defeat didn't of course really matter and it would have been nice to have come away with a point which after good spells in the middle bits of both halves we probably deserved. Oddly despite conceding 5 the...

    Fitness Levels

    With the game going into extra time last night it was a chance to see how fit our players really are, and I have to say that IMO we looked in good shape. I know that these guys are professional footballers and they should be expected to be able to run around for 90+ minutes, but a number of...

    All time England XI

    Pick your England line-up, from players you have seen in your lifetime (I'm going back to the 1976 series against the West Indies, as the first real series I can remember). My XI: Boycott, Gooch, Stewart (wk), Gower, Pietersen, Botham, Flintoff, Emburey, Underwood, Willis, Malcolm Gone for...
