  1. Wiggy is bloody useless!!!!

    Why we have replaced Maher with this guy is a disgrace, ok it's only the reserves but still. Tilson lovers, yet another mistake to let our reliable former crab go and hang your heads in shame those that applauded it. Tilly has got an excuse for working with very limited funds but to totally ruin...

    Mildenhall is bloody useless!

    I was there ....

    Following on from Exiled Shrimpers revelation about witnessing the Ravi-inspired Essex win at Grace Road yesterday, use this thread to tell us about your "i was there" sporting moment Unfortunately most of my "i was there" moments would centre around SUFC so shouldn't really be mentioned on...

    Lee Trundle is overweight

    Lee Trundle is overweight, he has a double chin and if he entered the 100m sprint against a tortoise, an elderly shirehorse and a small brick, no-one could guarantee him a place on the podium. He has also just put Bristol City one game away from a place in the Premier League with a strike that...
  5. My favourite public toilets

    This is not a cottaging thread, so I'm sure a few of you will be disappointed. I am dismayed that another of my favourite public toilets has been shut down. There used to be two locations where I really enjoyed taking a long drunken slash, one in the north of the county, and one closer to...

    Games to Celebrate

    For those who memories are short this is what happened just under a year ago: The game started and unbelievably we took the lead after only 13 minutes, we should have made it two but Southampton pulled it level before half time. Almost before the second half got under way we found ourselves 1-2...

    Nothing Yet For Keegan

    Newcastle’s worrying, barren run under Kevin Keegan stretched to its third game on Wednesday morning when they were beaten for the second time in four days by Arsenal. Once again, the Magpies came to play football and once again they were ruthlessly punished for their audacity. Most managers...

    In Englands Green and Pleasant Land

    An incident occurred in a supermarket recently, when the following was witnessed: A Muslim woman dressed in a Burkha (A black gown & face mask) was standing with her shopping in a queue at the checkout. When it was her turn to be served, and as she reached the cashier, she made a loud remark...

    Five teams you love to love...

    ...other than Southend United, of course. As the counterpoint to Uxbridge's thread, let's get that lovin' feelin' going on. My five clubs are: 1. Flamengo. My first love in football, growing up in Rio. How can you fail to love a side that has Zico up front and Junior supplying all the guile...
  11. Alan Lee- A disgrace to Football

    Firstly what a great win today. Thought every player played well and all Shrimpers fans were brilliant. For those who were not at the game today Alan Lee punched the ball into the net Maradona style but thankfully both the Linesman and Ref were alert, the linesman flagged and the goal...

    Five go mad in Sunderland. Or have a few beers anyway...

    Here's a review of Saturday in Sunderland, courtesy of Statski.... I think when the fixtures came out at the start of the season the away day trip to Sunderland ranked high upon peoples away games to do. One hell of a way to go for 90 minutes of football but seeing The Shrimpers playing in a...

    Southend vs Southampton

    BATTLING BLUES GET WIN AT LAST What a difference a week makes. Morale and spirit hit a new low after last Saturday's abject performance against a very ordinary Wolves side. The local press ran a feature through the week revolving around the supporters views on what had gone wrong. Some -...

    Match Report v Ipswich Reseves

    Hmmm, first reserves experience in 35 years of Shrimper watching. Enjoyable in an odd sort of way. The day went something like this: 06:15: alarm goes off. Bllcks it's Monday. 06:22: alarm goes off again 06:22: to 16:00: hard day at work, big important meeting stuff up in London, meeting...

    Shrimpers & Swans

    From the 606 site: The two sets of supporters were a credit to both clubs yesterday. Total respect showed by the Swans & Shrimpers. I cant explain why this bond has happened, but long may it last. I chatted to Southend fans before & after the game. The Morfa Parc pub was full of...
  16. Welcome Home Shrimpers!

    The Goat

    Did anyone else notice that all the Rotherham fans applauded the Goat after he scored, and when he was substituted. The former probably because he didn't celebrate, but the latter can only be out of repsect for a former player. Every time we have played a former team of his, he has got an...

    MISFIRING BLUES CRASH OUT OF CUP Southend's appalling home FA Cup record continued as MK Dons progressed to round 3 at Blues expense. In truth it wasn't a bad performance by the home team and some of the football in the first half and for the period after the equaliser was sublime.  The first...
  20. The match last night

    A few observations from last night. 1.  Their ground -  very pleasant with no home support whatsoever.  I know it was an LDV game, but it's no wonder they're struggling in the lead with that support.  A bit gutted - I had a cheeseburger, Dreams paid 60p more and got a diamond burger, complete...
