    Evening Wasted On Pointless Big Cup

    Through, but only just. Chelsea survived a scare to book their place in the next round of the Champions League, but their progression was anything from straightforward on another nervy night for Luiz Felipe Scolari. Roma's victory over Bordeaux meant that this result was academic, but there was...

    MY LIFE AS A SHRIMPER PREVIEW PART THREE This is the third short review of the newly published Book “My life as a Shrimper” The story of my personal journey supporting Southend United. We had been relegated after six years in the second tier but if we thought life would be easy we were...
  3. The real cost of watching Football...

    Now, according to Virgin Money, the average regular fan of a Premiership football team forked out £1,331 (5% of average salary) supporting their side in 2007. This covered the cost of tickets, merchandise, travel, food, alcohol and match programmes. One in eight dedicated fans paid out as much...

    Turkey striker, Nihat.

    While England’s footballers sulk in their sun-loungers, the rest of the continent will be contesting the 2008 European Championships. Iain Macintosh, who still won’t allow the word ‘McClaren’ to be uttered in his home, runs the rule over some of the potential stars of the summer. This week, it’s...
  5. A review from Neverland

    Well it all began last night at about 10pm with the suggestion of making the trip along the M25 and M4 to Swindon. Clearance was received from our driver's girlfriend and waking up after 6 hours sleep (watched the test match) to the tune of "we are going to Swindon", the excitment set in and...
  6. The Jobson Years

    Hi everyone I've been reading this forum with interest. I'm now ready to make my debut. Firstly, a big thank you to everyone associated with running Shrimperzone. One thing that strikes me is that most people's views on here are so black and white. So, I'm going to present a balanced view on...

    Seat for life at new stadium?

    This is a letter that my father-in-law has sent to the club, the echo and has asked me to put it on here to see what your thoughts are - In a nutshell, he is suggesting that instead of getting everyone buying shares which are effectively worthless with such a large controlling stake, the club...

    Medical Alert

    The Center for Disease Control has issued a medical alert about a highly contagious, potentially dangerous virus that is transmitted orally, by hand, and even electronically. This virus is called Weary Overload Recreational Killer (WORK). If you receive WORK from your boss, any of your...

    My Football Club

    Dear Scott MyFootballClub has agreed a deal in principle to purchase a controlling stake in Ebbsfleet United FC. Placed 9th in the Conference, Ebbsfleet United FC is one promotion from reaching the Football League for the first time in its history.

    What's the real reason?

    Todays defeat hurt. Not because it was against Col U, although there are no doubt some on here that think that if we only won 2 games all season as long as they were against Col U then that would be ok. It hurt because of the stage of the season we are at and the importance of those three...

    West Brom Surprise

    Last week it was my birthday and, as a great (and huge) surprise, my missus found a brilliant way of getting me to the airport last Friday and handing me tickets to fly over for the West Brom game. I was stunned. All had been arranged for a long time with my brother. Before I knew it, I was in...
  13. So how many Southend fans were there?

    I was at Roots hall for the Big screen playback. Just wondering how many we really had there apart from the official 1100 we were given? Even on the BBC Essex commentary they were saying there were blues fans singing and shouting in the home seats! If you were in the home end with the...

    The fbm view and ratings

    JEKYLL AND HYDE AT BARNET FAIR Victorian accounts of Barnet Fair deem it to be a "disgrace to civilisation". 90% of attendees came to trade “Horses, Donkeys or Mules” but there were other sideshows, not least the man who ate live rats “as though they were apples”. In such times freakshows at...
  15. Bradford fans match report

    Just got back from the game and im soaking wet! Im happy with our performance tonight just not happy with the result.  Dont think it was representative of the game at all IMO. Im unsure whether Holloway deserved a straight red, i didnt get a clear view of the tackle which led to it.  But all...

    Chester Web Site

    A quote on the game from the official Chester Web Site describing Dudders' goal:- After a solid and much improved performance from Chester, and just when it looked like they would get something out of the game, Southend took the lead in the 88th minute with a tapped in goal from substitute...
  17. IMPORTANT NOTICE

    Over three years ago, myself and Scriv launched ShrimperZone onto an unsuspecting public. Neither of us expected the site (and its forums) to take off as well as it did, nor to find ourselves running a site that attracted a hit count that was regularly hitting the 250,000 mark each week. It has...
