    Wolves preview

    You wait ages for a game against Wolves to come along, and then you get two inside a month! Just four weeks after a 3-1 defeat at Molineux, The Shrimpers are once again doing battle with Wolverhampton Wanderers. Just a week ago, things weren’t looking too bad for Southend. Victory over...

    Saved by the bell

    For anyone of my age group (mid-late 20's) Saved by the Bell was part of my tv upbringing. But the question has to be asked who would you most like to snake. Options as follows: LISA TURTLE Probably the cleverest of the three. Also always dressed slightly better than the other. If you go...

    List of braces

    Players from 1979/80-present who have scored 2 goals in a game and the number of times they came close to getting a hat-trick - quite a few. Good to see Barrett up high, and a surprise to see Ling and Pennyfather so high. Eastwood's got a way to go yet... ps Boere got 4 braces, blimey&#33...

    My "School Days" Dliema

    Lads, I can upon my fellow Shrimperzoner's to help me out on a dilmea I currently have. I was on in Brighton a few weeks ago with three mates. It was midnight and I was smashed. My best mate had just moved into a new pad so we had been on a big one. We ended up in a place called "The...

    Match report from a

    Found this from a neutral O's fan , NOT A travesty of a result for what it matters. Orient were much the better side and with better luck in front of goal would have had this game sewn up long before Eastwood's 20 yard daisy cutter into the bottom left hand corner drew the sides level...

    C&G Trophy

    Taken from BBC Sport website The England and Wales Cricket Board has bowed to pressure from senior figures in the game to add an extra knockout round to the 50-over competition. Many complained to BBC Sport that the format led to meaningless matches for teams that had no hope of reaching the...

    Colin Todd

    Colin Todd once played against us in the late 1970s, and Colin Morris, for it was he, was giving Colin Todd a torrid time on the wing. Anyway, Todd attempted to break Morris' leg in a number of violent challenges. Don't know I mentioned it really. Just adds a little je ne sais pas to...

    The right stuff

    In my 37 years of following SUFC, there have been two distinct periods where the club has gone in for "quality" players on good money.  On each occasion the management were applauded for showing great ambition... and each occasion ended in absolute disaster and nearly killed the club we love...

    Nathan Barley

    Just got round to watching Fridays first episode of the new C4 comedy, Nathan Barley. Written and directed by Chris Morris (The Day Today, Jam, Brass Eye etc) who is one of my favourite comedians - though he isnt actually in it, the script is unmistakeably Morris! His use of language is...
  14. Favourite manager for SUFC

    Sorry, I mean definitely not Barry Fry. Judas! How about Dick Bate or Wignall? Oddly I was never too keen on Dave Webb. Did the business a few times but always left on the pretext of major issues with the chairman/board. How bad was his judgement that he could return to the same ship so many...

    Ricky Gervais: Politics

    Gone on a real comedy trip this week. Ordered "Big Train" and "The Day Today" DVD's and last night brought Richard Pryor's stand up DVD (with free 'Stir Crazy'!) and Ricky Gervais' new one, Politics... Politics is pretty similar to 'Animals' if you've seen that, but this time Gervais seems much...

    the fbm view

    I think we have to bear in mind the quality of the opposition here.  We beat E Thurrock and Canvey and to be honest so we should; Millwall should beat us and did so. But IMHO it was a far cry from previous pre-season games against superior opposition.  In the past we have been outplayed...
  18. Tonight's match

    Millwall's squad for Wednesday night's pre-season friendly at Roots Hall is as follows: Stack, Lawrence, Cahill, Dolan, Ifill, Livermore, Harris, Dichio, Ward, Marshall, Weston, Wise, Morris, Elliott, Sweeney, Dunne, Cogan. We would again remind fans driving to the match that due to...
