    Biggest win for over four years....

    Time for a positive amongst so many negative people and post's on here. Tonight's highly professional performance (IIRC) was our biggest competitive win for over 4 years. The last time we won by 4 or more goals was that fantastic demolition of QPR back on 9 Feb 2007. Well done Mr Sturrock...

    OD - Week 8

    ShrimperZone CC v Purple Dinosaurs 6 competitive matches without a win, officially our worst run since the game started. Attempting to break the run against a team we've never lost to in 5 OD matches. Benji rests after running him into the ground in the FC game in the expectation of him...
  3. Ref Watch ...... Shrewsbury

    Tomorrow sees referee Graham Salisbury from Preston making his first visit to Roots Hall, despite this being his 10th season on the list. The experienced 48 year old enjoyed a reputation as a steady journeyman official who was never going to make it to the top, but a safe pair of hands at...
  4. Paul Sturrock

    Whilst I have been signed up on SZ for sometime my posts are few and far between, I am more of an observer. Some recent posts particularly after defeats are so negative. In my opinion I think PS is a very good experienced manager at this level and we should be very grateful to have him...

    5 a side football

    Just wondering if any fellow shrimpers play 5 a side football over at chase opposite southend hospital. I'm continuing my comeback from injury with my first competitive game in three years! The games were a lot harder than I thought they were going to be and everyone plays to win. Overall...

    After Wolves (A)

    A much improved performance from the Blues after the abysmal showing against Port Vale, spearheaded by a Top Player performance on his competitive debut by Bilel Mohsni. The 6'3" defender was a rock at the back despite a slip leading to Wolves' penalty. His performance has also put him straight...
  7. Pre-Match Thread Wolves v Southend United

    Think Mr Sturrock will make a few changes tonight: Evans Clohessy Bilel Barker Gilbert Simpson Grant Easton Spencer Paterson Corr That should make us more competitive. Defensively I do not think he has any confidence in Prosser or Phillips so the lets put some experience beside Bilel. I am...
  8. Question Little tinker

    Well its early days but I have to question why PS likes to tinker with the team so much? I understand he is trying to identify his best line up but you have to give a side a decent run of games. It seems our centreback pairing changes by the game and leaves little wonder as to why we leak goals...
  9. Exiled Shrimper

    Sam Higgins

    Sam Higgins, who scored one goal in four Under-18s appearances for the Shrimpers at the end of the 2007/8 season, scored his first competitive goal for Chelmsford City tonight as they maintained their 100% Blue Square Bet Conference South record with a 3-0 win over highly-fancied Woking at...
  10. A bit of respect and perspective?

    So we got a great win last night. And Paul Sturrock has assembled a new squad of players in a relatively short period of time. And it's all different and new and there's some promise of what might be achieved. I also have a lot of regard for what Paul Sturrock has achieved as a manager at...

    Mike Lapper interview

    Legend Mike Lapper, current assistant coach for the Columbus Crew, former defender for the U.S. National Team and various clubs, most notably the Crew, was kind enough to give me an exclusive interview for Pro Soccer Weekly. Mike is a really nice guy and gives some very frank answers to the...
  12. Ref Watch home friendly vs Derby

    Tonight's match official is due to be Fred Graham from Orsett. Fred got onto the League list in 2004/5 but was summarily removed after just one season, rather harshly in my opinion. One of his biggest problems that season was that his one and only Championship match between Brighton and...

    Strike

    Muslim suicide bombers in Britain are set to begin a three-day strike on Monday in a dispute over the number of virgins they are entitled to in the afterlife. Emergency talks with Al Qaeda have so far failed to produce an agreement The unrest began last Tuesday when Al Qaeda announced that the...

    Slovenia

    Slovenia Manager: Matjaz Kek Captain: Robert Koren FIFA Ranking: 23 Group C Background: Slovenia's only previous World Cup campaign, in 2002, turned into shambles after their opening game saw them defeated by Spain 3-1, resulting in star player, Zlatko Zahovic, and then manager, Srecko...

    South Korea

    South Korea Manager: Huh Jung-Moo Captain: Park Ji-Sung FIFA Ranking: 49 Group B Background: The Koreans qualified for their first World Cup in 1954 but disappointed as they lost 7-0 to Turkey and 9-0 to Hungary before exiting at the group stage. 32 years later they returned to the Finals...

    OD - Week 12

    Yamas v ShrimperZone CC At the start of this season I'd have thrown this one as their team was immense. However they then went broke and sold off their entire team, best player now 9,000 BTR! They must be sitting on a pile of cash and the manager is still logging in but luckily they haven't...
  17. Stoke vs Arsenal

    Fuller scores for Stoke within 2 minutes! Quite a young team by Arsene Wenger and with the strength of Stoke they may be outmuscled. Campbell makes his first competitive start for Arsenal since scoring in the Champions League final in 2006.
  18. 50 games which defined a decade - Part 1 (2000-2004)

    As we've had our last game of the decade, I had planned to do something about the top twenty matches of the ten years just gone but I found it very difficult to leave some matches out, plus in truth it's some of the defeats which have stuck with me the most. And rather than doing a countdown I...

    British Suicide Bombers

  20. Ref Watch ..... Boxing Day

    The Boxing Day derby will be refereed by 44 year old Grant Hegley from Hertfordshire. An experienced official, this will be his 14th competitive match at Roots Hall (won 8, drawn 1, lost 4) He has still not yet refereed a Southend away League game although he officiated in the 2-0 LDV win at...
