  1. Average Men do Well in the USA

    I got back from my travels this morning, sampling the best of what the USA has to offer. If ithere's one thing I've learned, is that men must travel there in thousands just to pick up women... The levels of over-achievement going on is stupid. All I seemed to see was your average run of the...

    Rons Blog 12/3/09

    No-one seems to have put it up! So here it is... Last week I touched on the backroom staff at the Club. That is not of course the backroom staff that support the football management but what I would describe as the “engine room” of the Club. I say that because I know whilst all fans will...

  4. Breaking News Ron's blog 03/03/09

    I feel there are more issues I would like to share with supporters in relation to football matters, which includes acknowledging the very capable backroom staff who get little credit for maintaining a well oiled operation. That topic will be on another agenda as many fans’ only point of contact...
  5. Another Reason to Hate Leeds

    Taken from BBC Sport Chants of the Week: "We forgot all five of you were here!" Leeds fans to Southend's small travelling contingent. (Glyn Baverstock, England). We isn't that nice of them. I heard the atmosphere in the away end was actually quite good, and 150 up to Leeds on a Tuesday...

    Rafa's Tactics Secure Win

    The journey back from London to Liverpool is a long one and, if any of the American contingent from Anfield bothered to make it, you rather hope that someone sat next to them on the bus and told them exactly why they were returning with three points. This victory wasn't due to their only notable...

    Apple trees

    Bit random this, but thought I'd just see if anyone's had the same problem with their apple trees as us? Had loads of blossom and plenty of fruit form all hunky dory and just as usual, have had no trouble at all with aphids this year (normally a major pest) but nearly all the fruit has dropped...

    Rafa Benitez

    In an ideal world, Rafa Benitez would have flown back to England with the rest of us on Monday, tingling with excitement after watching one of the finest international tournaments in decades and clutching a notepad full of potential summer signings. In an ideal world, as manager of one of the...

    Cheltenham Thoughts

    Although it was encouraging to see Alan Wright play for them, thereby making our centre-backs and goalkeeper look enormous, it couldn't hide the fact that our defensive frailties again cost us two points tonight. Cheltenham were inept going forward and the only time we ever looked in trouble was...

    Southend "Borough FC"

    No we haven't changed our name, Its my joke on the number of blues connections at Stevenage Borough FC..So with this in mind I took the opportunity of some comps from my mate whos nephew, Isaiah Rankine, has just signed for them, for the game with Forest Green FC on Weds last...Thought it would...

    Which player(s) should grow a beard?

    Watching the football last night, I couldn't help but noticing the comeback of the bearded footballer. David James had probably the most impressive effort; Rooney's is a worryingly ginger tinge that makes him look even more like an orang-utan; and I didn't notice Matthew Upson's beard until the...

    Roll-call for Carlisle tonight

    Who is taking up Ron's offer of a night out in Carlisle tonight? I'm driving down after work to represent the Scottish Shrimpers contingent of Exiles!

    First test v Sri Lanka at Kandy

    I hear Agnew reckons there will be a fair bit in it for Harmison or Anderson, based on the nets. Having been out to the middle this lunchtime I'm not so sure. Whilst the square is nice and green and the nets had a green tinge, the pitch they are going to use doesn't. I haven't been able to do...

    We're Proud Of You - Go On England

    So here we are, the final twist of the most amazing rollercoaster ride that has been the 2007 Rugby World Cup. England - your England, my England, everybody's England - have been knocked from pillar to post, criticised, attacked, pilloried, derided, laughed at written off from all quarters...
  15. Abuse of Hughes & Ricketts

    I know I will probably get slaughtered for saying this but I need to get it off my chest - I felt uncomfortable with the level of abuse dished out to Hughes and Ricketts on Saturday. I know this type of thing has been common at grounds up and down the country from the 70s at least (and probably...

    Tuesday's Burning Question - Holidays with the parents?

    Another Statski Stag Clique poll. When should you stop going on holiday with your parents?! Now the general feeling was when you hit 18. After that, it should be mates holidays all the way. One of the SZFC members will be over 20 and still going on summer holidays with the parents. I think...

    SZBC- CN??? Proposal.

    The small contingent that turned up last night, suggested that perhaps we should go the whole hog next time, and we thought we could arrange a shrimperzone curry night? If you are interested, it would be a great night, and we could decide on a venue that suits everyone!! If your interested...

    From todays Echo

    Chris Whelpdale has signed for Posh and Billericay manager Matt Jones has admitted a tinge of disappointment that he chose them over Southend. He said that Blues could have moved in earlier and had the whole deal done and dusted before other clubs got involved, and he doesn't know why that...
  19. Scottish Shrimpers Contingent grows

    I met 3 folk from Scotland at teh S O L on Saturday, 2 from Inverness and one from Glasgow and what with our Scottish connection regards Hamy and Foran coming from the SPL there is a definite Scottish link growing. Maybe it is time to start a Scottish Shrimpers Club???? We could try to enlist...
