    Did I Spot Our Man In Penzance

    For the last two weeks I have been lurking in Cornwall with the wife and kids. Now for someone who has been going down that neck of the woods for 30+ years you might have thought I would have pretty much covered the lot but nope, I doubt I have even scratched the surface. One of the places I...
  2. Pony & Traps causing chaos in the 'Old Town' and Westcliff today.

    Anyone else witness the traffic chaos this afternoon, as about 2 dozen Pony & Traps, (controlled by their owners) ventured into the Old Town, after travelling along Marine Parade in Leigh, and then headed off to Chalkwell/Westcliff?. Did'nt realise they could travel en masse in these numbers on...

    Shrimperzone's Honourable Gentlemen

    Just a bit of fun, it's election time and Shrimperzone has evolved into a national and global beast. The decision has been taken to field a candidate to fight every seat in the country and the opinion polls suggest a landslide for us. We have no elected leader but in anticipation that we will be...
  4. Ntfc view

    Don't be fooled by the 6 goals, that was a very dull game. Almost nothing happened first half, an Assombalonga shot wide and we had a header saved. You seemed nervous and hesitant on the ball, to be expected with your start, and seemed content to let us have the ball. We had it, but didn't do...

    Question Whats the best Southend performance youve seen ?

    Hi All Hope you dont mind me starting a new topic as im a newbie !! Just wondering what the best performance people have ever seen Southend produce ? I was thinking more in the sense of actually being at the game so for me personally i was at the Home Game against Brentford back in 05/06...
  7. Have we kicked Hoofball into touch?

    Many fans have said that the second half against Northampton was the best half they had ever seen Southend play. It was absolutely exhilarating attacking wise. Hoofball was out as they passed with ease, speed and accuracy from the back to the front which always seemed to end with a shot or a...

    Was it a penalty v Northampton?

    I have watched it a few times and have to say in my opinion it was not a penalty. It seemed like Dicko had headed the ball before the keeper got there and made a bit of a meal of it. I think the keeper came to punch it but it was headed and the keeper went across the top of Dickos head. A very...

    Question First time you touched the ball in a game.

    Mine was about 1987. Think we had about 100 fans at Rotherham away. They had a long shot that went well wide. The ball cannoned into our end and I went to go and get it. I threw the ball over the fence to our "goalkeeper" Eric Steele. He said "Thanks son" to me. For some reason I liked him at...
  10. Big headed Premiershite fans

    Just thought I'd mention something I noticed walking back to the car after the game on Saturday. I was in a great mood after seeing the best Southend performance I've seen in quite a while and in front of me was a little boy who'd obviously been to the game with his mum. His Dad came and met...

    62 yard Header

    The longest headed goal in history?? The fact the keeper was up for a corner at the other end takes a bit of gloss off but still pretty impressive ... http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/15144508.stm

    The 1953 Floods

    I hope the following is of some interest, on a Saturday afternoon in 1953 Southend United played a poor game of football, the crowd had a good old moan and then went home totally unaware of the disaster that would hit locally in a few hours time. Saturday 31st January 1953 Southend United 1-0...

    BARNET in the Cup a Day to remember!

    Barnet tomorrow night but my Dad, Grandad and Uncle drove to Barnet in 1946 and here's the full story of that match, same again tomorrow? Southend United were drawn away in the second round of the F.A.Cup and are due to visit Barnet the holders of the F.A. Amateur Cup. Their ground capacity is...
  14. Ref Watch ..... Shrimpers vs Shrimps

    For our first ever home league match against Morecambe, we have the normally very decent Mick Russell from St Albans. I wonder when we last played the top and bottom teams of League Two (or whatever the bottom tier was called at the time) in successive home games. It would be typically...
  15. Ref Watch ..... Port Vale

    Tomorrow's match against Port Vale (or Port Value as the OS referred to them as) sees 4th year referee, Roger East from Salisbury, in charge. He achieved some success as an Assistant Referee being appointed to the 2004 Cup Final and a couple of playoff finals. Wasn't uniformly popular...

  17. Thrills, Spills and Unpaid Bills - The League One Review Part One

    So, another season bites the dust and it’s all over bar the fighting at the Wembley mud bath. As ever, ten months of football has served up more twists, turns and travesties than a Mail on Sunday honey trap and hopefully this should spread some light on the season just gone. Norwich Starting...

    Bullies and Bullying

    Now bare with me good readers, this is going somewhere but I want to give it some background first. When I was a kid I was bullied, bad. My first taste of it was at the grand old age of 4 years old at nursery school where a phycotic 5 year old used to attack the entire fraturnity. He would rip...

    Screech at ECHO Awards.

    Met Scott Spencer last night at the Echo Sports Awards at Billericay Town last night and what a smashing advert for Southend United. Asked if was going to stay he said he loves it down here, "I've settled here easily and would love to stay, there's some great lads here and its good fun". When...
