    Draw and general discussion

    Ladies and gentlemen, too long have we confined our 'battles' to The Pub. Now it is time for a Southend United battle. To that end, it's time to kick off the 'Battle of the Kits'. Over the next few weeks, every home kit worn by The Shrimpers since 1906 will be up for selection until we...

    Michael Owen: The End of an Era

    Just found this piece on a football fans site, it isn't written by a Liverpool or Newcastle fan but it sums the downfall of his career well. Thought it was worth a read.

    RIP Paul Chidgey

    I hope you'll indulge me here - we said farewell today to a stalwart Blues supporter, a Trust member, a STH in South Upper and a colleague of mine up to only 4 months ago. Paul Chidgey died very suddenly on Maundy Thursday, aged just 50, having celebrated his 50th just a few days before. I...

    Is it easier to turn down a dirt bag or a girl next door.

    Last Saturday after laying out 17 of our own supporters in the West I drove home as fast as the DtS Love Jeep could carry me as I had a works night out. Having been made redundant from the job I loved in the city last May I am currently working for a bank closer to home. The work is pretty...

    Does The Big C Make You A Big C?

    I'm just in from my daily walk. Despite the cold my face is burning up. Although the wander was a modest one, to Southchurch Park, the seafront and then back home, my body aches all over and I'm far too tired for a bloke of my age to be. You see, people, I have cancer - and I'm fare more...

    How to start a fight

    My wife sat down on the couch next to me as I was flipping channels. She asked, 'What's on TV?' I said, 'Dust.' And then the fight started... ------------------------------------------------------------------------- My wife was hinting about what she wanted for our upcoming...

    Away Strips

    Should the Club publicise which colours they will be wearing at any given away game? I say this because we have not worn the first choice away shirt of Red since the yellow 3rd kit came out. Also when we played Orient, half of the Southend supporters (myself included) wore Yellow and we played...

    Interview with an Exile: Part 6 - A Century United

    This week, Tom (A Century United) from all the way up the top of Scotland answers the questions. Below is a picture of him amongst the starting 11 for the League 2 Playoff Final. The woman in white sitting on the number 1 forgot her boots that day, thus why Duncan Jupp got the nod. 1) How...

    My Roar blog - part 2

    At the start of the A-League season I posted a blog about my experiences as a newly emigrated ‘Pom’ supporting the Queensland Roar. General commitments relating to settling into the country (getting a new job, buying a car, finding somewhere to live) has meant I haven’t made it a regular thing...

    Interview with an Exile: Part 3 - Canada Shrimper

    This week, John from Canada takes part in the interview with an exile chat. The following picture is from his latest trip over to Southend for the Swindon game: 1) How long have you been an exile? A) Been out of the country for 10 years less 8 months in the middle 2) Why did you...

    Barton Pushes His Luck

    Sorry chaps, forgot to upload this last night... Well, that didn't take long, did it? Just one week after his composed, match-winning performance against West Bromwich Albion, the halo above Joey Barton's head began to slip. Like all the best horror films, the metamorphosis from man to beast...

    R.I.P Dan Harding's Mum

    Reports in Todays Echo that the playing staff and match officials wore black armbands in respect of Dan Hardings mum. Seeing as this was publically stated, I feel that a thread would be welcomed for people to say their respects. R.I.P, my thoughts are with you Dan.
  15. Question Nutter in the South Upper

    who fir the love of christ was the nutter in the south upper in block j? he wore an old red england shirt (from the nineties i think). he kept shouting out realy crazy things that made me crease up. at one point he shouted to the linesman "hope your car breaks down and you miss the england...

    Mildenhall MOM? - Absolutely - here's why.

    So we have had debates on whether Mildenhall was a good keeper or not, better than Flahavan or not and now whether he was MOM against Hereford or not. Well, I can sort of see both sides here. Often you hear someone talk about a "Man of the Match" performance and this is where a player...
  17. Further evidence of Col Utd idiots

    I've never been one to indulge in the "inbred", "carrot crunching A12 *****" abuse that's sometimes dished out on here. But I must come on and report some very unsavoury behaviour from two of our friends from Cuckoo Farm, at the Chelmsford Beer Festival on Saturday night. Noticing dark clouds...

    Have you ever seen a celeb taking a pony.

    Was out with the lads in Brighton a few weeks ago in a bar called the Biscuit Factory. The Bloke from the Pram shop loved it in there as do my mates but I have always found it a bit poncy. Anyway four of us chewing the fact when my mate (mentioned in past stories) "the Pilot" spotted Colin from...
