    Rumour (only): Boxed Fruit Drinks from deepest darkest Africa

    I am hearing, from a fairly reliable source, that our signings are, at present, on pre-contract agreements (similar to Sturrock's 127 signings 2 seasons ago) because of a currently imposed Cricko's favourite boxed fruit drink due to payments owed to former players. Anybody got anything concrete...

    Do you hate the hammers ? If so why or why not?

    TBH reading the west ham forums it seems quite obvious that there is a distinct dislike for us and us them. I have never really had any particular dislike for the hammers. I was born in rush green just down the road (about 4 miles) from upton park and my dad is from manor park and mum from...

  3. New Poster saying hello.

    Hello. I've been a blues fan since our darkest season - i think it was '84/5 when we escaped the dreaded re-election by a single goal difference. Now a season card holder in the west stand with my 2 lads. Impresed with - Clohessy & Belford Not impressed with - unable to string passes together -...

  4. 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...

  5. Tomorrow

    For me, Southend United has always been a tomorrow team. The success I have always wanted for them is forever another day away. Of course the length of the day has been of biblical proportions. However, and many will call me an optimist or a fool or both, but I think our tomorrow is about to...

    Newcastle 3-1 Middlesbrough Taylor, 9 Beye (og), 3 Martins 71 Lovenkrands, 86 They don't make it easy on themselves up on Tyneside. Watching this spirited and determined victory over Middlesbrough, the objective observer could be forgiven for wondering why they hadn't tried such an approach...

    Liverpool Get Their Soul Back

    Never mind about the title, relish the fact that Liverpool have got their soul back. Competitions can come and go, but the spiritual identity of a football club is a rather more permanent prize. On Tuesday night at Anfield, Liverpool probably lost their grip on the title race, dropping two...

    It's only going to get worse...

    ...well it MIGHT do since we have games coming up thick and fast, our team isn't functioning as a unit, we have no quality on the bench to shake things up and so many of our better quality loanees have returned to their clubs (even if in some cases this might not be for too long). We certainly...

    Battle of the Horror Films Round 8

    The Hitcher (Clinton Baptiste) versus Spoorloos (Matt the Shrimp) Hmmm. Spoorloos (or the Vanishing) is one not many people will have seen but it's a real bonechiller and a classic don't spoil the ending. However, the Hitcher really plays on your darkest fears. A close call.

    Benitez Must Improve

    It's two wins from two for Liverpool in the Premier League and European qualification has been secured, but has success ever been this abject? If the sign of a champion is the ability to win when you play badly, then Liverpool should have the title wrapped up by Christmas, because I don't think...

    Leeds United

    The dream that they lived under Peter Ridsdale has long since faded into a memory but, for the supporters of Leeds United, it's taking a lot longer to wake up from the nightmare that followed. Defeat at Wembley to a spirited and creative Doncaster Rovers means that it's another season in the...

    Proverbs

    A Primary school teacher had twenty-six students in her class. She presented each child in her classroom the 1st half of a well-known proverb and asked them to come up with the remainder of the proverb. It's hard to believe these were actually done by Year 5 students. Their insight may surprise...

    Nessie - Does it exist?
