    Trouble in Toon

    Believe it or not, a lot of Newcastle United fans were philosophical about their relegation at the end of last season. They recognised that you cannot run a football club as appallingly as Freddie Shepherd and Mike Ashley had without inviting serious consequences into your frontroom for dinner...

    Keane 2 - The Revenge

    Imagine that you're an Ipswich Town player. The season is practically over and you're just far enough outside of the play-offs not to have to worry about them. Your wife has sorted out your summer holidays, a cheeky fortnight in Dubai to let the stresses and strains of a long, fruitless campaign...

    Not So Fab, Lukasz

    Arsenal 1-2 Chelsea Walcott, 18 Malouda, 33 Drogba, 84 The vultures arrived at Wembley expecting to pick the flesh from Petr Cech's reputation, but it was birthday boy Lukasz Fabianski who offered up his own carcass, blundering in the late stages and costing his side a place in the FA Cup...

    SZ's Southend United Hall of Fame - Paul Clark

    The Viking That alone might be enough words for many on here to vote yes to Paul Clark, but if you weren't fortunate enough to have witnessed his crunching tackles and never say die attitude, I suppose I should give a lengthier bio. The first local player up for election, Clark was born in...

    SZ's Southend United Hall of Fame - Paul Sansome

    Ah-oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh, its Sammy! Yep, first up from the 4th round of nominations is popular goalkeeper Paul Sansome. If Sammy is elected, he'll become the third individual from the double promotion era to be elected, following in the footsteps of his manager Dave...

    Ex-Shrimpers League Goalscorers Table: # Week 30

    Here is the latest fortnightly roundup from the Ex-Shrimpers. Glad to see I am still of some use as my scouts found a few missed by others. Work is crazy at the moment so struggling to get them on the web. 17 March Hal Robson-Kanu scored of course against Southend in the big 3-0 win On the...
  8. Jim McNulty in Intensive Care

    Albion defender Jim McNulty is in intensive care with a ruptured kidney. The full horror of the injury he suffered in the second half of Saturday's home defeat by Crewe has now been revealed by the club. McNulty, signed from Stockport last month, was visited at the Royal Sussex County Hospital...

    SZ's Southend United Hall of Fame - David Webb

    For 84 years Southend was a team that bounced around the lower divisions. The opening words of the official club history are: "Other teams dreamt of Wembley, some hankered for the first division championship or a place in Europe - but Southend only ever wanted second division status." We'd...

    Clough and Ready

    He didn't pick the team, he didn't give the teamtalk and he didn't mastermind the tactics, but the mere presence of new manager Nigel Clough at Pride Park seemed to inspire Derby County to an unlikely, but fully deserved victory over Manchester United. Clough may be following in his famous...
  12. Parkinson Named Charlton Manager

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/c/charlton_athletic/7806330.stm Seems a bit odd with him not winning any of the 8 games he was caretaker boss. But probaly all they could afford was him.

    Pre-Match Thread Ricey's Report: Huddersfield Town (H) 13/12/08

    6 Points None The Richer. Saturday's game against Huddersfield town is a definate 6 pointer for the Shrimpers. They are directly below us and if Huddersfield win they go above us, this is something we don't want to happen and why this game is of great improtance to us. I think a major issue...

    Pre-Match Thread Ricey's Report: Leicester City Away 06/12/08

    How The Great Fall. Who would of thought that a few years back Martin O'Neill was in charge of a very good Leicester side with Emile Heskey showing his value and scoring for fun. A few years later Milan Mandaric decided to put his money into the club and stuck his nose in way to often, so...

    Pre-Match Thread Ricey's Report: Luton Town, FA CUP 29/11/08

    Minus 30 But Not Out. Who would have thought it? 2 seasons ago both the Mighty Shrimpers and The Hatters were playing against some of the best sides in English Football. Now Luton are on the verge of relegation from the football league less than 3 years after they were playing football in the...

    When times were worse

    Ok, things aren't going brilliantly at the moment, but lets remember where we came from. I've been tidying some boxes this week, and stumbled across a copy of the Swansea Evening Post, dated Saturday December 13th 2003 (apologies, but this is obviously written from the perspective of a Swans...

    Bristol City v Hull City

    There can’t be many people who, when the Championship season began, thought that today’s SG$120m Play-Off Final would be contested between newly promoted Bristol City and almost relegated Hull City. In fact, if you’d have asked an expert, or even if you’d just have asked me, you’d have been told...
