    A-League Grand Final 2012

    WIll be hosted here in Brisbane for the 2nd year running after the mighty Brisbane Roar won the semi-final over two legs vs Central Coast Mariners. Central Coast get another crack to play us again (we have one of those strange Rugby League style finals systems here which I only vaguely...
  2. Hi to fellow shrimpers out there

    Just to say a quick hello. Although have lived in the darkest north for the last 20 odd years, I try and get to see the odd Southend game when I can, eg Burton away last weekend and Shrewsbury & Accrington also away. My first memories go back to 1972 to 1980 in the days of Best, Moody, Brace...

  4. How many esses in Essex?!

    If your name does not start with S then forget promotion from league 2 this season. Southend, Swindon and Shrewsbury for me. i know Cheltenham won big today but that was courtesy of a capitulating Daggers. I will even go as far to say that we, yes we, will finish top. Could not get to the game...

    PL Weekly Points Points for Round 26

    Harrys decision to go with a bumper round of 10 fixtures again meant plenty more points being shared around with another half dozen double figure tallies led by the champions from the past 2 years, thankfully for me Daniels return to form comes a week to late as far as cup success is concerned...

    F1 2012

    Just thought I'd set up a news thread for next year. Kimi Raikkonen joins Renault, which mean that all the world champions from the last 12 years are now in F1. That's only six of them but it's still a quarter of the grid.

    PL Fixtures Round 27 - Paint Trophy & Others - Tuesday 6th December

    I'll post this fairly early, just in case I forget. There are 4 Paint Trophy games, plus 2 from the European Champions and anyone who finishes as low as 4th in their league, cash cow League. Bear in mind the JPT games will go to extra time and then penalties if the scores are level. Southend...

    Greetings from a chuffed exile

    It's been ages since I've posted on here, not that I've stopped supporting of course. I still read the forum regularly but not being able to watch the team I find it hard to contribute with anything meaningful. But have to express my delight (and suprise if I'm honest) at being top of the...

    Official Match Thread Raith Rovers v Southend (1pm K.O.)

    So after yesterday's disappointing defeat to Dundee, we now face Raith Rovers in the 3rd/4th place play-off. Which will bring our participation in Scotland to a close. Raith finished 2nd in Divison One last year, 10 points behind Champions Dunfermline. So they will provide another stern test...

    Champions '& anyone who finishes as low as 4th in their league' League Final

    So who's gonna win Bar$a or Manure? If there's one team I hate almost as much as Bar$a it's MU but I'll be supporting the Mancs on Saturday.Probably the kiss of death for them.:'(

    Show me the league after twelve matches................. I'll show you the Champions?

    Always heard that you have to wait about a dozen matches to give you an idea of how teams are likely to perform. Thought that I'd put it to the test by researching which teams were in the top seven, roughly following each quarter of the last season LEAGUE TWO After 12 games: CHESTERFIELD...

    Chesterfield v Bury

    I see the Bury keeper was punched in the face, no doubt the 'fan' will be found if he hasn't already and as for the girl! Would it not be funny if Bury now win the league especially after Chesterfield fans already had 'Champions' flags at that match...

    PL Weekly Points Round 50

    What a week for odd results eh, Southend prove once again why you should never rely on them to do anything you might expect in the mould of Man United/Chelsea/Spurs(more than once)/Harlow/Kingstonian/Aylesbury et al .. Hereford smash the Champions and there's goals galore all over. South and...

    Most amazing match I've ever seen

    I'll always be a Shrimper first and foremost and if they ever played Brisbane I'd be wearing blue not orange. However yesterdays Grand Final is the most amazing bit of drama I've ever seen at a football match in my 30 years of going to games. For anyone who didn't get up at 6am to watch it on...

    Memory Lane On this day ... 10th March

    Plenty of memories for me here, notably anti-hero Tilsons first goal for the club verses champions-elect Wolves, i'm sure this is the game where Paul Clark destroyed Steve Bull in the first 5 minutes escaped with a booking and rendered the usually lethal Bull a mere passenger, a 2-2 at Blackburn...
