    Donkey Derby - A match overview

    Started off seeing fans were being bundled into a police van as I approached the ground, and the stewards at the North Bank seemed busy in the first half Lets do the good first How good is Alan McCormack? If only we had signed him in the summer. Comes away with the ball so many times and then...

    A bad day at the office - Brum - an overview

    First the most obvious question - how can we draw with a full strength Tottenham side for nearly 120 mins and then lose days later to Birmingham so convincingly? When youre playing the team at the top of the table, after 120 gruelling minutes just days before what do you really need? A ****...

    The Lead Boot...

    We've all heard of the Golden Boot - that trophy awarded to the most prolific striker at the end of the season.  The heroically talented Mr. Eastwood has already bagged one for his personal trophy cabinet. However, here at Shrimperzone, we're not happy unless we're moaning... and so I give you...

    Is someone having a laugh?

    Now, I've always been quick to defend the boy, but I wouldn't go this far! According to Sky Sports News, the appalling spelt "Billy Painter" is a candidate for the PFA Award for October. Who is it, own up? *waits* Right, well if no-one owns up, you'll have to stay...

    Like watching Paynter dry - A match report

    I really dont even know where to begin How would you pick a man of the match out of that lot? I'd give it to Ricketts for signing kids autographs at half time. The officials. Remember I moaned at the Sheff Wed officials. Well take that and treble it. Whoever that was in yellow with a white...

    Why we should drop Freddie

    When will Tilson take off his rose tinted tunnel vision glasses ? It is clear to see that the old Eastwardian is out of his depth and should be dropped for younger player i.e. Hooper. Although i have never seen him play the fans at Grays were upset to see him go and he is obviously class and...

    Due to formatting problems the report isn't yet on the front page so here it is BLUES LAND TITLE IN ESSEX ONE-TWO The two Essex sides defied all the odds in League One by claiming both automatic promotion spots – with the Super Shrimpers deservedly landing the title. In fact, it was...

    Why we WILL be going up!

    Okay, we're all a little nervous and the focus of late has been on what can go wrong, and how we'll lose the next two games while both Col U and Brentford win their's with ease. In the spirit of optimism, this thread is about why we're going to go up. * We're still TOP and...

    GOATER !

    Now I know that the Goat has had a couple of bad games. But the abuse he was getting from the West stand yesterday was appalling ! I sat in front of three blokes, not your usual grumpy gits, who spent the whole game slagging him off. Do these people really think that Goat got in the way of...

    Don Castaways - A match report

    Didnt I see this match last time at Roots Hall? Talk about Deja Vu... It was exactly the same, a frustrating half of even chances, both teams cancelling each other out. A goal conceded at the same time, same end of the pitch with the same result. The ref...appalling. The linesman on the west...

    Worst Thing To Happen In Bed

    Right, it's officially Friday afternoon and that means storytime. What's the worst thing that has ever happened to you whilst in bed with a lady? Or in bed with a chap if you are a lady. Or any combo, really, it's all cool. It could be a horrific injury, an ill-advised comment, an...

    ST.VALENTINES DAY MASSACRE AS BEES BASH BLUES Southends unbeaten run came to an abrupt end at Griffin Park as Brentford exacted revenge for the 4-1 drubbing dished out to them at the Hall a few weeks back. That scintillating performance seemed a million miles away as Southend were second best...
  13. Most underrated songs ever?

    Now we've all bemoaned the appalling Virgin Radio list, what songs do you think don't get enough love for whatever reason? For me, it probably changes every week but if push came to shove this week I'd say; Led Zeppelin - The Rain Song always overlooked in favour of...

    From the SUSCT Liaison Meeting

    "BW said that he had recently read the new Blues News magazine and said that it needed proof reading as there were lots of spelling mistakes and grammatical errors as well as problems with presentation. GK said that it wasn’t a club issue but was concerned that there was a lot of stock...

    Racist or Placeist?

    Earlier in the season at the Hall (can't remember which game) there were 2 coloured linesman who both were bald and who both had chequered flags.  Consequently, in my review of the match, I made a comment about an appalling decision in each half by the linesman but said that I couldn't tell...

    MISFIRING BLUES CRASH OUT OF CUP Southend's appalling home FA Cup record continued as MK Dons progressed to round 3 at Blues expense. In truth it wasn't a bad performance by the home team and some of the football in the first half and for the period after the equaliser was sublime.  The first...

    Are we Southend in disguise?

    Just got back from yesterdays game, yes I know its a bit late, but you know what the traffic can be like on the A1 on a Saturday night!! Even 24+ hours after the event, I am still as pi**ed off now as I was yesterday. Now I hate losing as much, probably more, than anyone else, but when...

    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...

    New Club Shop - One step forward, 5 back!

    Now I know I often delude myself that my beloved team will run as a professional football team should be, and by now, I should realise that with Southend, that just isnt every going to be the case, and yet I still find myself getting extremely annoyed by there ramshackle approach to thing...
