    WHY? when Wrexham scored the second goal people started to get up and leave! what a total lack of respect for the players who worked there socks off today Barret especialy! and how hard they worked to get to the final! so to all those that left call yourself supporters? f**king...
  2. Echo

    Tilson is quoted to say, "We knew Bristol were going to get the ball forwards quickly and be quite physical, that's why we decided to start with Tes because of his strength and I thought he worked his socks off" "He hasn't played for a while but he did well and covered a...

    What a game!

    Fantastic game and a solid performance from every player! Nicky Nicolau definitely my man of the match, but Lewis Hunt was simply outstanding too! Nicolau's best game for the club tonight without a doubt, along with Hunt! Every player can be proud of this game tonight! A...
  4. I know why results have been disappointing...

    ...and though it grieves me to say it, it is all my fault. I have been getting over-confident, not to say cocky lately. I have assumed that the SuperShrimpers could keep on achieving even without my help, and so I have been lazy. I haven't been wearing my "football" boxers (the black white...
  5. Ratings

    Griemink 7 - secure as ever, my only criticism would be that he and Eagle seemed to lack an understanding at the back, hopefully this will improve as they get use to playing alongside each other Hunt 7 - quietish game, but did everything asked of him Wilson 7 - one of his better games, a...

    The fbm view and ratings

    I learnt at a very early age that Southend always blow it in front of a big crowd. I had persuaded myself that today would be an exception. Sadly, over 7000 witnessed that fact that it wasn’t. Today, the atmosphere seemed subdued. I said to my mate before kick off that the players needed to...
  7. What's their ground like?

    www.footballgroundguide.co.uk will tell you all you need to know - including what the pies are like! Pea soup and rubber socks are an alternative to TV.

    Yasser Arafat

    wants to be buried in a Newcastle shirt, Lazio shorts & Rangers socks. It will be known as the Gazza Strip
  9. Tilson Spotted...

    In Sainsbury's, Rayleigh yesterday approx. 12pm. Had a brief chat, he said: 'Like I said, I've come in, done me shopping and I'm happy to be going home with all three bags. And, if I'm honest, I can't say fairer than that. It's never an easy place to come but you...
  10. Tilly

    As Mr Tilson has been 'working his socks off' and doing 'ever so well' in his first full season in charge (IMO), I've noticed that he seems to be neglecting his post-match interview duties, namely that they all sound the same. Perhaps we here on Shrimperzone could forward...
  11. Our Defence

    Was widely regarded (I include myself, and not just because I am creeping towards XXL) as looking impregnable before the season. Now we have let in more goals than any other team in "League Two (spit!)". Personally on Saturday I think I would have swapped Mr. Jupp for the Swans...

    belgrave

    WG14 has shown us the light: 7/8/04: Lewes 2 Aldershot 0 The starting eleven was the same as on Tuesday, and the performance was of a similarly high standard. We more than matched the visitors for the first 25 minutes, and then took the lead with a beautifully worked goal. A lovely ball by...

    The sloppyness hasn't been eradicated

    We completely outclassed Dagenham, and i mean really outclassed them for a good hour or so. Then we completely lost it. Being completely honest, Griemink doesn't inspire confidence and if Flahavan had've done what he did for the 2nd goal, then he'd have absolutely been slaughtered...
  14. MY SOUTHEND UNITED DIARY

    Today is a sad day. I got wrong at the clinic on yesterday’s yesterday for punching Sara’s lights out but it wasn’t my fault. She shouldn’t mess with rubber bands because they can have your eye out and she shouldn’t take them off my parachute man anyway. Thackery say’s I have to apologise when...
  15. Worst colours...

    I recall Bristol Rovers being orange and yellow quarters with yellow shorts and orange socks. They looked like battenburg cake slices!

    Rochdale Summary

    We totally dominated the first half and should have had at least a goal to show for our efforts. I can remember only one clear chance Rochdale created blasted over the bar from about 12 yards out. For all the pressure we had we didn't really manage one meaningful effort on target despite a...
  17. That wasn't the new Southend we saw today

    That wasn't the new Southend that we have come to expect that played out there today. A distinct lack of passion, determination and all round care. I haven't knocked him before, but Jupp was a main case of this. He didn't care. He played other teammates into trouble with poor...

    Gazza's Top 50 Moments...

    The following 50 points are probably the reasons why Gazza never fulfilled his full potential...even if you don't follow football this is worth a read!! 1) One hour after playing for England, met 'showbiz pals' Danny Baker and Chris Evans in a Hampstead pub while still...
