    The ShrimperZone Totty Cup - Qualification Round

    It struck me recently that it is way past time for us to harness the outstanding intellect, wide-ranging intelligence, and thought-provoking insight that exists on this fine board and put it to some true and noble cause. ...and so, gentlemen, I present to you the ShrimperZone Totty Cup, a...

    WALSALL vs SUFC - OFFICIAL MATCH THREAD

    All match related banter here please ladies and gentlemen. I'm going to stick my neck out and predict that it'll probably be a draw, but if Southend play well we could sneak it. Having said that if Walsall play well, maybe they'll win.

    Another Bravura Effort From A Section Of Our Support

    In admidst all the good vibes around at the moment due to our recent recovery, yet another depressing tale from an element of our support. After having received so many good wishes and welcome backs from so many people in the pub after my involuntary visit to the hospital Chipper and I settled...

    Dressing as a pirate on the cheap.

    Ladies and Gentlemen, This sunday my mate Sweatys bird is having a 30th birthday party. She is obsessed with Pirates or the Carribean for some reason and has decided everyone has to dress as a pirate. Now if it was a close mate I would push the boat out (excuse the pun) and buy an outfit etc...

  6. Well I never knew That.

    In the 1400's a law was set forth that a man was not allowed to beat his wife with a stick no thicker than his thumb. Hence we have 'the rule of thumb '. Many years ago in Scotland , a new game was invented. It was ruled 'Gentlemen Only...Ladies Forbidden'...and thus the word GOLF entered...

    I'm in a quandary - what would you lot do?

    Now ladies and gentlemen, in the coming 6 to 12 months I have a decision to make. My sister and her partner have just bought and moved into a five bed place in Spain, an hour from Granada and an hour from Malaga. He is a master builder and is snowed under with work renovating and doing up...

    SZ.com Album of the Year

    Off you go ladies and gentlemen.... Apologies if your nomination didn't make it, you can only have ten options for a poll.
  13. Eureka!

    In a flash of genius, I have realised what Tilson needs to do to sort out this mess! We need a combative, tough tackling Midfielder in the Bentley mode. We have tried moving Clarke and Francis forward from the back but the one obvious move has eluded our management duo. Ladies and...
  14. Memories of a better day

    Feeling depressed after last night's defeat, I cheered myself up by remembering this account of the play off final: We few, we happy few, we band of Shrimpers; For he to-day that sings Blues songs with me Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile, This day shall gentle his condition: And...

    Why we need to be EXTREMELY WORRIED…

    … YET STRANGELY OPTIMISTIC!! Sometimes when a team is promoted, the momentum from previous seasons can be enough to carry you still forward – see Wigan last season in the Premiership and just look at what we achieved last year ourselves. But then sometimes the step up in class is just too...

    London Shrimpers

    Gentlemen, the season will soon be upon us and, unlike our Southend-based brethren, we haven't got Season Tickets. I've been watching with dismay as the number of season tickets sold goes through the roof and the number of tickets available for us exiles dwindles. You know, I'm...
  19. Another ex Manchester City player.

    Just a thought. Paulo Wanchope looked quite impressive for Costa Rica the other day. The commentator also said that it is rumoured he would like a return to English football. Your thoughts gentlemen (and Ladies) please. We've had one 'old boy' from Man City and he was pretty...

    Ladies and Gentlemen, Take a bow for the above mentioned charactor who we all know so well, he has just come off the TV programme "britains biggest loser" and has lost over 5 stone and is still in with a chance of winning as he is going back to the house on Tuesday to undetake a...
