    PL Weekly Points Points for Round 33

    We had 30 entries this week, 29 of us said home win (i think i need to go back to my "don't back Southend" days) .. the one exception was from the chap who foresaw our struggle and used it to gain a 10pt week. At the other end of the scale my lad managed 5 outcomes so our slip cost him more than...

    Nottingham Forest to bid for Hall

    Been told that a Forest scout was once again watching Hall and Ferdinand Last night also was watching Bradford's Keeper , unfortunately last night was not the first time they have watched Hall and will be making a bid come January . Seems they are not as keen on Kane and obviously don't care...

    PL Weekly Points Points for Round 29

    A thoroughly disappointing night on the pitch is matched here, with davids clever use of his wildcard enough to comfortably win this time around 7 - davidovolic 4 - Staines Shrimper 4 - Dave the Shrimper 4 - davewebbsbrain 4 - sufc dave 3 - kingSHRIMPER 3 - canveyshrimper 3 - Shrimpersarmy 3 -...

    Actors in films before their time

    I watched Omen III last night, and saw Eric Richard as an astronomer's technician. Eric went on to greater success as Bob Cryer on the Bill. Two more examples came to mind of people in films who had bit-parts who went onto bigger things (for them anyway) - Larry Lamb (Archie in Eastenders) is...

    PL Weekly Points Points for Round 28

    A slump in form on the pitch is matched off it by many many players this week, indeed obe, king, Luca and the aussie shared a massive 0 points this time around, at the other end of the scale, and almost off the scale, number 11 has the caravan dwellers from across the Thames Estuary to blamefor...

    We should beat Crawley

    Went to the Crawley vs Redbridge game yesterday and really didn't see anything to fear. The 5-0 scoreline flattered them. Redbridge had done very well to get to round 2 but they are a very poor team and they actually managed to play some half decent football against Crawley in periods, this is...

    Memory Lane Southend in 1959

    Just got sent this.... http://www.eafa.org.uk/catalogue/7641#.TtQilZXo8DW.twitter A fascinating 20min look at Southend filmed in 1959 but released in 1964. "All the girls qualify for Miss Lovely.... " It's possibly the most unintentionally funny things I've ever watched.

    Memory Lane BLUES Thrash OLDHAM/New Ground on hold

    Well it’s not exactly “Breaking News” as this news broke sixty years ago when in Season 1951-52 Southend beat Oldham 5-0 in the second round of the Cup while an announcement was made about the new stadium (Roots Hall) being delayed. This how it was in early December 1951...
  10. Ref Watch ..... Preston replay

    Returning to Roots Hall for the second time in under 5 weeks, tomorrow's referee is Darren Deadman, a civil servant from Cheshunt. His last and recent performance against Torquay was not his worst appearance here by a large margin; he showed 9 yellow cards in a staggering display of...

    White Poppies

    Wonderful piece from the Telegraph on White Poppies: At the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, I am sure the thoughts of all Telegraph readers will be with those British and Commonwealth Service men and women who fell in the defence of our liberty. But spare a thought, too, for the...
  12. Welcome back Shrimperos brother.

    A thread to mark the return of the wonderful poster know as barnablue after a month ban,have you missed him? Are you chomping at the bit to read what great films he has watched or read his great links to left wing stories in his fav paper. Or are you looking forward to reasoned debate which he...

    Alan Partridge

    Is anyone else really loving the fact that Cook Pass Babtridge really has come back to the fore? I love the guy. Watched the entire videography over the last couple of weeks and what Coogan did with that character was nothing short of awesome. A complete dick yet you somehow found yourself...

    PL Weekly Points Points for Round 17

    Last years runner up proves he's still a force to be reckoned with after a round winning performance, just ahead of Lucas old man and a trio who notched a more than decent 7 .. at the other end Blueboy joins me in dunces corner but if my policy of predicting a Blues struggle which ends in...
  15. Ref Watch ....... Torquay

    Cards will not be in short supply tomorrow if Darren Deadman's last appearance at Roots Hall is anything to go by. Deadman, a civil servant from Cheshunt, showed 9 yellow cards in a staggering display of incompetence the season before last at home to Franchise FC. As it happens, we probably...
  16. £10 ticket Torquay United

    Just read a letter from the ticket office, and for some reason they are telling us that Morecombe was our first game we've watched at roots hall... even though we was season ticket holders. In the letter it states: 'I am writing to you to thank you for taking advantage of the recent Footy for a...

    PL Weekly Points Points for Round 16

    A wretched week for many, indeed if it wasn't for Creepys result there would've probably been more ducks than an England batting card :sad: that said some clever wildcard play by seves and the chief meant it wasn't doom and gloom across the board 9 - seves 7 - chieftans 6 - Dad of Dave the...

    Memory Lane Ex-Shrimpers Playing in The Championship

    I just watched the Football League show which had its usual sprinkling of ex Blues popping up and so i thought it might be an idea to see if we could come up with a team for each league, i'll put the other threads up in a minute to keep it simple Championship MAN: Dougie Freedman (Crystal...

    Timlin Back - Part 2

    Wanted to give some credit to Timlin following a run of decent performances from him. Remembering back to when we signed him, there was some opposition to bringing him on board and opinion was pretty much divided on whether we needed him. But he seems to have brought some balance to the team...
