    England v United States

    And so the recovery continues. Fabio Capello's patient, paternal treatment of the blundering failures who shamed the nation last year is, little by little, beginning to pay off. He hasn't asked them to play in strange formations, he hasn't made sweeping changes, he hasn't even announced a...
  2. The ESB Report (Sorry FBM)

    Had to write an 800 word report on the game last night for an assesment, and here it is: DONCASTER held Southend to a goal-less draw at Roots Hall to take a slight advantage in the League One play-off semi final. Rovers, who finished three places and four points ahead of their Essex...

    Celtic v Rangers

    I'm told by my Scottish friends that when it comes to excitement, you'll have to go a long way to beat an Old Firm derby between Glasgow Rangers and Glasgow Celtic. I've always been a little dubious of that claim. After all, I've been to Tottenham against Arsenal. Could it really be anymore...

    The Keegan factor

    I suppose it started when I used to look at them in magazines. I'd furtively hide under the covers, terrified that someone would catch me, but not so scared that I'd stop. That was bad enough, but then I'd wait for everyone to go to sleep so I could watch them on the obscure satellite channels...

    The fbm report - Millwall

    Folks, As I'm not quite sure what time I'll get back tonight in order to post this on the front page, it is not fair to deny fbm his readership - or to deny you his pearls of wisdom - so here is the fbm report for the Millwall game, which will hopefully go up on the front page tonight. * * * *...
  6. The Shrimpertruth - more Karma comebacks - the FA Cup

    Funny old world as "no end product" JCR dumps us out and the value of quality players is rammed down our necks. A player who was an outstanding individual talent and a committted team player, JCR ,left SUFC with hardly a thank you and turns up to win 60k prize money plus another FA cup tie for...

    Once and for all - Harrold

    I am conducting a poll to see exactly what people really think of Harrold and I am also going to make it annonymous so that voting is fair. Seems that he draws a bit of a divide which is confusing to me as I really cant see what he is bringing to the team because it certainly isnt goals! I...

    The fbm report - Dagenham - JPT

    SOUTHEND PAY PENALTY AS DAGGERS PROGRESS Exactly a week after Southend claimed the Championship scalp of Watford in the Carling Cup, they were slain by league 2 newcomers Dagenham and Redbridge in the Johnstones Paint Trophy at Roots Hall. In truth Southend had more than enough chances to win...

    Tes or Drewe

    I apologise if this has been done before....I know we have debated whether Drewe is a legend or a sweat band wearing jonah, and whether Tes is a waste of human matter or misunderstood genius. I find it amusing how two players seem to divide opinion so much...whereas there is a general consensus...

    Pops (or lack thereof)

    Hoped Sutherland would move this week, but it looks like I'll have to wait another week. A few handy movements though: Rod Curtis - 20 yo, BT Rating=25,838 RH Batsman, RFM Bowler, superb batting form, superb bowling form, energetic A steady player with mediocre leadership skills and feeble...

    Stoke City v SUFC : Pre match thoughts

    Well, after Tuesday nights outstanding win against Birmingham I see no reason why we can't go on and bag all three points at The Britannia Stadium. With all the conjecture about Freddy and whether he'll go or stay during the transfer window finally over we, hopefully, might see him finding his...

    Roots Hall: A commemorative book

    Hi all, alongside being a Shrimpers fan I moonlight as a graphic designer. And I'd been toying with the idea for a while of doing a book chronicling the last season at Roots Hall. Rather than being match reports and stuff about players though, I wanted to focus on the more enduring memories of...

    Slipperduke's Slippery Column

    It pretty much wrote itself this week..... Slipperduke's Slippery Column #12 I've got a massive problem today. It's not just the fact that I've spent five hours in the freezing cold queuing for non-existent tickets to Southend's League Cup clash with Manchester United. Well, actually, it is...

    Chuck Norris

    Chuck Norris used live ammunition during all shoot-outs. When the director said he can't, he replied, "Of course I can, I'm Chuck Norris" and roundhouse kicked him in the face. If you can see Chuck Norris, he can see you. If you can't see Chuck Norris you may be only seconds away from death...

    My Thoughts on Saturday

    Well what can you say after that?... Not a lot really, simply superb. I genuinely thought we may end up on the wrong end of a backlash from Bristol City after there two games last week, and for the first 15 minutes, it could easily have gone that way, but from the moment we scored, i genuinely...
  16. Comments from Swindon boss..

    Boss plays big guns in Trophy 25th January 2005 ANDY KING will field his strongest possible side at Roots Hall with the manager challenging his players to add ‘medal winner’ to their CV. While fringe players have been used in previous rounds and indeed previous seasons, the manager will...
