  2. We Never Wanted the World Cup, Anyway...

    Well, you could see that coming, couldn’t you? Just as soon as the English World Cup bid gets off the ground, the English tabloids have set about dismantling it from afar. The news that Lord Triesman, chairman of the 2018 bid, has claimed that Spain and Russia are colluding to bribe...

    FC - Match 4

    ShrimperZone CC v Cricket is for girls 1st v 2nd and a very tough one to call, we have the stronger overall team but they are a lot fitter after exiting the cup earlier. Have rested Benji as he's on lively meaning Graham gets a very rare FC outing. 3 days of cloud in Essex, the quicker the...

    Hartlepool's Manager Chris Turner's take on today

    We Got What We Deserved Says Turner Posted on: Sat 12 Dec 2009 Chris Turner was in no mood for excuses after seeing his side lose out 3-2 at Southend United this afternoon. Pools went into the second half with a 2-0 lead which they quickly lost, allowing the hosts back into a game they went...

    In honour of the Gillingham manager.....

    ....can we come up with a Southend Slow XI Obviously Stimson at left-back and probably captain, pushing out Che Wilson (FACT: Che could run quicker backwards than forwards) and recent loanee, George Friend. Centre-halves - we've had a few who could be outsprinted by a crippled, asthmatic ant...
  9. How important will Adam Barrett be?

    Last season I started to question Barrett's ability as a centre back. In certain games I thought that it looked as though he may have aged a little quicker than we would have liked. Obviously as Barrett switched to left back, he wasn't as exposed as when he played in the middle and so the...

    Adebayor - No Loss

    Generally, when a club agrees to sell their top goalscorer, you can expect a certain reaction from the supporters. It tends to range from anywhere between frenzied phonecalls to the local radio station and furious protests against the chairman in the carpark. Occasionally, in really serious...

    Money Can't Buy Honour

    Footballers are a funny lot. Sometimes, it's like they have their own language. In their world an 'egg' or a 'nugget' means a foolish person, 'beans-on-toast' means the goalpost and 'I want to play Champions League football,' actually means, 'To hell with that, I want to earn more money in a...

    Lampard Leads The Way To Glory

    Chelsea 2-1 Everton Drogba, 21 Saha, 1 Lampard, 71 An FA Cup Final that began with the quickest goal of its history was secured with one of its best and could have been long remembered for one that wasn't even given. In the kind of sweltering heat that would have made Saturday afternoon on...

    Chapter Six - South Of The ShrimperZone? At This Time Of Night? Ricey edged away from Stokes, carefully keeping his eyes shielded from the Red Tube. As tempting as it was to allow himself to wallow in the intense glow of some very, very naughty thoughts, he knew from...well...erm, first hand...

    Southend and we're proud of it!

    My god all this doom and gloom, on a miserable Sunday here's a little bit of light relief from eighty odd years ago. The English Channel had first been swum in 1875 and then again in 1911, but after that American women and European Bakers had repeated the feat. Lord George Riddell owner of...

    SZ's Southend United Hall of Fame - Stan Collymore

    The next man up for election to the Southend United Hall of Fame is Stanley Victor Collymore. I think Stan might be the first man to divide opinion sufficiently to have a few no votes. After all, longevity is one of the criteria and Stan only graced a Southend shirt thirty-three times and...
