Southend United furious that Soccer AM duo will sing the National Anthem at Wembley

[Evening Echo]

THE Football League’s decision to allow Soccer AM presenters Helen Chamberlain and Max Rushden to sing the National Anthem before next month’s Johnstone’s Paint Trophy final has hit a bum note with Southend United’s supporters.

Pretty fitting for the level of prestige attached to the competition if you ask me. They already carry out the draw on Soccer AM, so I doubt we'd end up with someone like Robbie Williams singing the national anthem in the Final.

Do you not rate the Trophy then, superblue24? You've kept that quiet.

I try to keep my thoughts on the lowdown, Beefy.

Someone at the Echo needs a thesaurus, two instances of ailing there

 

[MK Shrimper]

Any idea who did it in previous years?

Leo? really?

Too right we are not happy about it. But I think the whole manager situation has taken our attentions off this clowns act.

Instead of booing we should just chant "One Paul Sturrock..." for the duration of the pain.

 

[Beefy]

I don't want to boo the national anthem. I don't want to sing something else over it. I want to savour every second of being able to proudly sing 'God Save The Queen' before watching my team play at Wembley for maybe the only time in my lifetime.

I just don't want those two muppets to lead the singing.

Are they aware that there is a feeling of hate towards this idea, would be interesting to hear from them on the matter

Max Rushden has done a Q & A session on his latest podcast. My Q :Are you having second thoughts about singing The National Anthem at the JPT Final. His A : (after a long pause) Err, sorry I can't talk about that. Let's hope that they are having seconds thoughts and they will not go through with this crazy idea. UTB

Soccer AM is crap but Max Rushden strikes me as a reasonably sensible guy. Hopefully he'll see sense and realise this isn't a good idea.

Helen Chamberlain can **** off, the old goat.

An old flatmate of mine's uncle used to be president of Torquay United. (This was back in 1999). She was well known even then for being overly familiar with the Torquay squad. Rumours of promised trysts with players when the team won etc.

Has anyone on Shrimperzone got the nod to appear on the Soccer AM show April 6th ?
They requested Southend fans to be on the show in the old Luther Blissett stand or whatever its called these days ?

A few of my mates applied to be on it but theyve not heard anything back .....

 

[ooh-andy-ansah]

Wouldn't Johnny Vegas humming it be more fitting considering the farce that has become SUFC ?

 

[AustScullyPriorPowell]

Sing "Soccer AM isnt famous anymore"!! been lost without Lovejoy!!
