@AllAtSeaFanzine Cheer up. It’s been a ‘brilliant’ season hasn’t it?

[Simon Darby @FlashDarbs]

It’s been a bloody good Sunday! Up the Mighty Shrimpers.

There’s just something about a penalty shootout at Wembley, in yellow ✨

[Simon Darby @FlashDarbs]

Remember when UK politics was dominated by a visceral debate as to whether you could put VAT on a Gregg’s pasty? Happier times.

Peace & quiet on the South East Essex Riviera

@AllAtSeaFanzine It really isn’t a ‘brilliant’ season though is it? We were comfortable against most of the average teams in this league but have been way off the 5 / 6 quality sides at the top. Will be a nice day out at Wembley in a couple of weeks, but a big overhaul needed after that.

[Simon Darby @FlashDarbs]

Up The Essex. What a start to the season that is.

[Essex Cricket @EssexCricket]

✅ Absolutely sensational.

@theseaside100 A rare moment of inspiration! Have a cracking day out! You at York next week?

[Simon Darby @FlashDarbs]

Winter Golf time. Magic.

Anything other than McIlroy is nonsense: Wins The Masters to claim career Grand Slam; part of European team that wins Ryder Cup in US; multiple wins on PGA & DP World Tours - including The Players and Irish Open among others; and ends the year with another Race to Dubai title.

E-I-E-I-E-I-O, up the football league we go!!! 😂

❌ MATCH ABANDONED

Despite the best efforts of the groundsmen, the referee goes over to the managers, who shake hands and head back inside.

[Simon Darby @FlashDarbs]

🚨 BREAKING 🚨
Root officially the greatest of all time with the Aussies not longer able to cling to their ‘never done it in Oz’ nonsense.

[England Cricket @englandcricket]

🚨 HE’S DONE IT! 🚨

No doubt before. No doubt now.

A true great of the game 🙌

[Simon Darby @FlashDarbs]

@theseaside100 I’m sure you can join the Test squad on the golf course.

[Simon Darby @FlashDarbs]

Not ‘disappointing’ - it’s abysmal. No preparation, no application, our batting line-up looks just it just doesn’t care. It’s not entertaining & it’s not fun - it’s just shite.

[England Cricket @englandcricket]

A disappointing start to the series.

We're beaten in Perth.
