    SOL coaches to Tranmere

    There are so many goods things about Southend United at the moment and one of them that has gone largely unnoticed is the “Shrimpers on line Coaches” which have had a remarkable rise this season. It started in September when 17 shrimpers in two cars and a people carriere were travelling to Port...

    Youth Team Update

    Unfortunately, Southend United's Under-18 side lost 2-0 at home to Luton Town at Boots & Laces this morning, conceding in the 42nd and 88th minutes. A full report should be available on the Shrimpers Trust website and the club's official website over the next 36 hours or so. Johnny Herd sat out...

    Scudamore Puts The Squeeze On

    Do you think that the people who run football will ever get to the point where they have enough money? Can you imagine them, sat atop a glistening mountain of gold coins, clad in rare velvets, adorned with crowns, drinking 19th century red wine and thinking that perhaps they‘ve gone far enough...

  5. what Leeds think of us -

    View GalleryA RUN-DOWN on Leeds United's opponents tonight The Gaffer Steve Tilson. Tilson steered the Shrimpers from League Two to the Championship in two seasons, but they have not recovered quickly from their relegation last season. Tilson was forced to part with striker Freddy Eastwood and...
  6. The Shrimpertruth - more Karma comebacks - the FA Cup

    Funny old world as "no end product" JCR dumps us out and the value of quality players is rammed down our necks. A player who was an outstanding individual talent and a committted team player, JCR ,left SUFC with hardly a thank you and turns up to win 60k prize money plus another FA cup tie for...

    Are Liverpool fans the most annoying in the world?

    It can't be Col Ewe, because they don't have any, so are Liverpool fans the most annoying fans around? I almost want them to win the premier$hite, or at least be competitive for a season, just so they can shut up whining for a bit. They've got a worse case of bigclubitis than even Spurs. Even...

    The A-League

    Here is an article from a Queensland Roar fans website I go on now and again. They go into the last game of the regular season (they have playoffs, or 'finals' over there) with 4 teams (out of 8 in the league) level on points at the top of the table. Quite an amazing finish, half of the league...
  9. Ref watch - Wednesday

    Wednesday's man in the middle is Mike Thorpe from Suffolk. a regular choice for the bigger home pre-season friendlies at Southend. He is usually a steady official and averages between 2 and 3 yellows a match. Been a bit stingy with the reds (so far) this season. Last competitive match at the...

    Does anyone on here play in the Southend Sunday League? I imagine it the same for all the other leagues as well, Sceptre etc. Anyway, just been on their website and found this:- Latest News / Updates - Tuesday 6th November 2007 Castle Point Borough Council: Castle Point Borough Council have...

    We're Proud Of You - Go On England

    So here we are, the final twist of the most amazing rollercoaster ride that has been the 2007 Rugby World Cup. England - your England, my England, everybody's England - have been knocked from pillar to post, criticised, attacked, pilloried, derided, laughed at written off from all quarters...

    Under-18s draw with Gillingham

    Southend United's Under-18 side today picked up the first point of their Youth Alliance Cup Group 2 campaign after a goalless draw at home to Gillingham. Neither side looked like scoring during the first half, but James Lindie was unfortunate on a couple of occasions during the second period as...
  14. Battrick Season 8, Week 1 pops + New O/D leagues

    No pops for me this week. As I'm still training Schoeman (19), Evelyn (20) and Middleton (22), I'm not going to get many this season, unless I manage to get some decent YP's, in which case the 2 Stamina nets I'm rotating at the moment will be switched to them. My league is very competitive...

    Under-18s go down...to Brighton

    Blues' Youths played their first competitive home match of the season at Boots & Laces this morning, and despite leading 2-1 after just 13 minutes, were soon trailing 3-2 at half-time and eventually conceeded two further goals in the final 12 minutes when pushing forwards to lose 5-2. Luke...

    Vile old shirt

    I know that this has been on here before, but I couldn't track the thread down When did we wear this kit ? I am sure it was not at home, and probably was not in a competitive fixture. I doubt if its a keepers shirt, due to the No 5 on this pic (from http://www.footballshirthallofshame.com/ )

    Surprisingly accurate personality test

    http://www.animalinyou.com/survey.asp When I worked at The Independent we used this personality test on ten people in the office and it was pretty much spot-on in every case. It only asks a handful of questions, so God knows how it works. Anywhere, here's me. I'm a rooster! Roosters are...
