    SZ's Southend United Hall of Fame - Billy Best

    I never saw Billy Best play. What I have seen was the reverence that those who had, hold Billy Best. The mere mention of his name and fans of a certain age go all misty-eyed. I first noticed this phenomenon in 1993. I knew Stan was good, but I wasn't at that stage sure quite how good he was...
  2. Absolutely Buzzing with Excitement

    I have to say I am raring to go for tomorrow's game. It is all I can think about! We have had it so lucky as a club financially speaking and as fans to come up against United, Spurs (twice) and as of tomorrow Chelsea in a few season's! The anticipation from my part and my family who are also...

The cast will return for a one-off documentary entitled Blackadder Rides Again. Marking 25 years since the original BBC transmission, the programme will feature the...

    Capital Punishment - Think again.......

    I know the whole should we, should'nt we, debate has been done to death on here before but if anything should make you change your mind it's this. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7708398.stm Eight broken ribs and a broken back, with another area of bleeding around the spine at neck level. •...
  5. Someone's pushing me to the darkside

    Got an email from my mum this morning and My 13 year old cousin has signed a one year deal with Col U. See link. http://3263.e-printphoto.co.uk/robsambrook/index.cfm?action=view&c_id=101291&p_id=9664719&fromemail=1 Someone tell me what to do, how the f*ck am I supposed to respond to...

    Question Lidl catalogue

    Does anyone else enjoy reading the Lidl catalogue which is delivered on a semi regular basis? I don't shop there but I like the way they have a different theme every month. This month they are pushing cleaning products and motorcycle accessories and saftey equipment such as spine protectors...

    West Sham

    Sometimes in life, when faced with inexplicable stupidity, there is a temptation to assume that perhaps it is you who is being stupid. When Steve McClaren decided to play long-ball to Michael Owen and Wayne Rooney in Russia last year, I briefly toyed with the theory that maybe, with his years of...

    Pre-Match Music Suggestion?

    Just wondered what people's thought's were on having this as the pre-match music? Obviously everybody loves the current Moulin Rouge ditty, was just thinking maybe something a bit more edgy is needed to put the wind up the opposition?.. Personally, I fecking love it, its an amazing piece...

    Who would win?

    With the desperate call-up of Darren Pattinson (leve space for edit 10-wicket Darren Pattinson), it got me thinking who would win in a straight match up between the English Aussie XI and the English SeffAfrikaan XI in a one-off Test match? The line-ups are based upon being born, or extensively...

    The End Of Motty

    Apparently, Sunday night is going to be his last big game before he hangs up his sheepskin. Am I alone in being delighted? Right up until 2002, he was absolutely superb. Knowledgable, consistent and informative. Then, and I believe it was the early kickoff against Nigeria, he went absolutely...

    Simon Francis close to signing new deal

    Apparently he is "close to signing" a new deal with the club and no more hitches are foreseen according to his agent in the Echo. With Francis and Macca signing on I think we can begin to be a little more positive again over the future of the club for the coming season and although there's...
  12. Holding hands with a baby

    Don't know if this picture has been posted on Shrimperzone before, but I thought it worth posting. First the background to the story, then scroll down to the picture: Just a fantastic picture, and very thought provoking.

    The Dawn In A New Era...

    Last night's support wasn't just amazing, it was something special. Something that you are unlikely to see anywhere in the world of football today. To support the lads as much as we did at 4 and 5-0 down, quite simply was spine tinglingly overwhelming... The Blue Voice has been pushing for this...
  14. Pubey's "Tunes from the leftfield" - 7

    A day late I know... just listened to this on my iPod and thought I would stick it on for you... a classic rock song that still sends shivers down my spine at the end No video - just the album track, but this doesn't need a video, it's all in the music Slint - Good Morning, Captain

    WI v Sri Lanka

    The WIndies have just beaten Sri Lanka. Good win for them, to draw the series, although both teams have reputations as poor travellers. I think Sri Lanka will be very disappointed to have only drawn and that is a step back in their progression. Not sure about their team selections, I'd have...
  16. TBV "Song of Songs" Thread

    Check this one out lads & lassies. Go to http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=klvzf-6BZ [very slow start] and imagine change of words to similar to below draft. Holly Holy by Neil Diamond, after slow start but rises to crushendo. With adaption/change of words this could be one hell of a spine...
  17. TBV Stevie Tilsons Blue Army

    Maybe..... what we need is one or four "Super Fans" in the differing areas of the ground who start things going with Stevie Tilsons Blue Army, clap clap clap, clap or bang bang bang bang on drum/seats anything that makes a noise. Then to simply keep it going for as long as it takes to spread...
  18. Lessons we can learn from other teams

    On saturday i thought i should check out Sheffield United as they are only a few mins away... tickets were a tenner and my mate who is a big QPR fan was coming up for it too. I really enjoyed the match, and it made me a bit sad we weren't still up there mixing it with those kinds of clubs...

    Building for the future

    I'm really encouraged by this transfer window. Our tactics are spot on. Tilly is looking at the bigger picture and trying to develop for the future. The likes of Masters, Liptak, Scannell and Harrold have all been purchased over the last 18 months or so with an eye to the future. If you add...

    Sour grapes and rotten attitude

    Popped to Spain on this weekend to drink away my 40th with a load of chaps and found a bar near the beach with a ton of tv's showing all things football on Saturday.As you do. Anyways,i'm in the bar clutching a jar of hops and barley watching the Norf Larnden derby (i mean the annual thrashing...
