    ShrimperZone 11-a-side Tournament 14th Aug 2011

    Before all the teams go off for the summer break this is a date to get in your diaries for the next pre-season. This Summer once again ShrimperZone Football Club will be holding an 11 a-side tournament at Cupids in Wakering on Sunday the 14th of August. We normally end up with about 16 teams...

    Richie Foran

    Would you want him judging a Miss Britain regional heat ? Miss Inverness (8th Paragraph Halfway down the article) I am surprised he was interested, i mean they're not married for starters
  4. Lord Football

    It could be worse. We could be Grimsby.

    Now, we thought it was bad here. This taken, complete with gratutious swearing, from a Grimsby forum think almost sums up the feeling in our little corner of Essex..... but not quite ;) Now I'm as optimistic as anyone when it comes to this **** of a football club, but after this...

    Southend West

    As mentioned on here, I'm not a great fan of Amess (see 1 and 2 for starters!). Additionally a friend of mine is running as the Labour candidate.... Tom Flynn His Blog It's his first time as candidate and has been given a relatively tough seat to contest. Only downside is he is a West Ham...

    'Raging Steve Bull' & other flick-ons ...

    Don't know if this has been done before - surprised if not. OK, your mission should you choose to accept it, is to rename a film with a footy twist. For starters, this one was inspired by the Millwall manager ... Full Metal Kenny Jackett. :D

    Johnson leaves Bristol City

    Probably no surprise, although I don't particularly like Johnson, he's a faux Cockerny **** for starters he's a pretty decent manager. Tilly for Bristol City anyone? :unsure:
  8. What would League 2 mean?

    For starters would the new ground be scrapped? If we're languising in the bottom 4 does administration now make more sense if we're going down anyway? Would we lose our core of talented new young players coming through? Having said that - we could still survive the drop ;) Discuss..

    Cheryl Cole. Grrrr.

    There are a million and one reasons to dislike Cheryl Cole. There’s her colour, for starters, a curious orangey glow that smacks of either too much Sunny Delight or too many quid-a-minute South Shields tanning salons. There’s her husband, the odious little skraeling who earns more money in the...

    Challenge to most unpopular SZ poster....

    As we all know Ldn Fasto has for about three years now been Shrimperzone most unpopular poster by a country mile..... This is for a combo of reasons....He does talk a lot of rubbish for a start, a number of hardcore posters (Cricko,Kent Shrimper and myself for starters) neg him at every chance...
  11. Pesky Lawyers Continue to Ruin Football

    Next time I get a speeding or a parking fine, I'm just going to ask for it to be suspended for when I can actually afford to flush £50 down the drain. Why not? It's worked for Chelsea... Rather predictably, the court of arbitration for sport has sided with the London club, suspending their...

    White Hart Lane

    I always enjoy a trip to White Hart Lane. Sure, it's in the middle of the north-east London badlands, a destination made even more remote by London Transport's fascination with shutting down the tube on match day, but there are consolations. For starters, there's the stadium itself, a hulking...

    Digital TV

    Just moved into a new house which has sky into the living room but nothing into the rest of the house and no working aerial. I know the switch over comes in 2012 so will have to adopt it at some point. Anyone installed an aerial etc themselves or is it worth getting someone to do it. I would...

    Shrimperzone Big Brother?

    Similar to the Big Brother thread for Southend players, what about having one running regarding Shrimperzone members? Or would this cause too many arguments and kick off? To limit things, only members with over say, 5-6000 posts for example, and a couple of wild card entries to include some of...

    Don't Panic, Arsene

    As dawn broke on the morning after the worst night of his career, I wonder what Arsene Wenger was doing. For some reason, I imagine him stood at the back door of his house, watching the sun rise slowly over his dew-drenched garden, sipping coffee and shaking his head pensively, wondering what...

    Brazil Are Crap

    Ecuador 1-1 Brazil Noboa, 89 Baptista, 73 One of the eternal joys of watching South American football is the sight of those famous yellow shirts buzzing around the pitch, flicking the ball to one another as if 30 yard first time passes were the easiest thing in the world. They play as...

    Long Way To Go

    There's a long way to go yet. After an almost flawless first year in charge, Fabio Capello was brought crashing down to earth in Seville by a breath-taking Spanish side who taught him a hard lesson in what it takes to win international honours. England kept pace with the European Champions for...

    Message from Irate Ian

    Resignation/Suspension Under Protest, Irate Ian voluntarily suspends his public forum usage of Shrimpzone until the end of 08/09 season, following which a further decision on longer term removal will be made, dependent on the then situation on SZ, due to:- 1. Closure/deletion of Threads...

    Clough and Ready

    He didn't pick the team, he didn't give the teamtalk and he didn't mastermind the tactics, but the mere presence of new manager Nigel Clough at Pride Park seemed to inspire Derby County to an unlikely, but fully deserved victory over Manchester United. Clough may be following in his famous...
  20. Question Fantasy Dinner Party

    has this been done before? Dont care really... If you could have a dinner party, six people maximum, MUST be alive, (so no Jesus/Hitler arm wrestles after the after eights)..and preferably British. (No, I havnt gone down the Graysblue route), just wondered who people would invite and why...
