    SZ Novella - Chapter Five

    Chapter Five - Red Sky At Night, Stokes' Delight Ricey sprinted down the back-alley, feet slipping and sliding on the wet concrete as he went. The sound of a gunshot echoed off the walls and he instinctively ducked, almost falling to the ground. Reaching the end of the passageway, he turned...

    Liverpool Must Prove Themselves

    It is time. Time to discover whether or not Liverpool have what it takes to be champions. Not champions of Europe, that staggered and seeded competition, winnable with just the right balance of Alamo-style defending and quick goals on the break. Champions of England. A far harder accolade to...

    SZ Novella - Chapter One

    Inspired by the truly awesome work of the Shrimperzone Writer's Bureau, I've been clattering away on a full version of this dystopian nightmare, attempting to give it the depth that it deserves. MK Shrimper planted a bug in my head and I really hope that I can do it justice, not least because...
  4. thank god for rootshall

    coming away from another soulless concrete bowl, and having done about 15 of these in the last few seasons, I thank god for roots hall and the fact that we shall still be there for the forseeable future. Every single of these stadiums possibly with the exception of Sunderland, are for me killing...

    Memory Lane SZ's Southend United Hall of Fame - - Sid Broomfield has passed away RIP Sid

    When I suggested we should have on SZ a Hall of Fame to recognise the true legends of Southend United, I wanted us to recognised those individuals who helped build the club. In Sid Broomfield's case he did this literally. Sid Broomfield might not be the most famous name in Southend United's...

    Question A shrimper christmas carol

    A SHRIMPER CHRISTMAS CAROL It was in the offices of Southend united after the Huddersfield match, Paul Brush-Cratchett and his son Tiny Tilly approached Uncle Ronald to ask about time off at Christmas. “Humbug” retorted Ronald I want you two and the team in training all over Christmas. Uncle...

    No more Paving your front Garden With out permission

    As of next month you will need planning permission of to pave, slab or concrete your front garden. With an increase of people digging up the lawn and laying slabs or paving to park there cars on there is an increased concern over flooding. When there is a down poor, a lot of the water will...
  9. Irate Ian - his crusade to be welcomed in the long-term club interests or not?

    Can't help feeling that there is a personal battle going on on this site. Irate Ian has some (IMHO) valid questions to raise. Some others seem to be fed up with him - either because he's been round this route many times before or they have blind faith in Ron Martin. This seems to have become...
  10. MLB - Those damn Yankee's move stadium

    Yep those awful Yankee's have moved their stadium and built a brand new one from the ground up. Now given the distance between the old stadium & the new; I'm kind of guessing it was to improve on the 55/60,000 capacity and thus money motivated...

  12. The Silence Is Deafening

    2 1/2 Weeks to go until the big kick off and we have 13 squad players... Now, I won't use Braintree as an excuse, mainly because I think the number of friendlies we've played in quick succession didn't help the performance, but whereas I think the team we have is capable of great things in this...

    2008 European Championships

    While England’s footballers sulk in their sun-loungers, the rest of the continent will be contesting the 2008 European Championships. Iain Macintosh, who still won’t allow the word ‘McClaren’ to be uttered in his home, runs the rule over some of the potential stars of the summer. This week, it’s...
  14. Swansea - the Shrimper truth

    Are Southend the most easterly club and Swansea the most westerly ? Anyway Tilson is talking up the fixture it looks like it might be worth the hassle - and personally I leave home thinking we can nick the points - no problem. Major worry was Macca as he was obviously feeling an injury...

  17. Paul Hayes

    Anybody heard any more news on him signing for us? I keep reading little bits here and there on the bbc site (606) saying he wants to move south and we are the most likely club interested in him, but nothing concrete has materialised as yet..?

    What on earth do we want?

    It's a tall order now. We MUST win both games and hope Leeds and Hull both collect no more than 1 point each from their last 2 matches. Possible, but unlikely. But apart from a probable relegation, I fear that as fans we are going to make ourselves a laughing stock of the entire football...
  19. Leeds United - at Roots hall - lets get serious...

    Looking forward to a great game and enjoying seeing the famous Leeds United and their famously noisy and committed supporters. Looking forward to some wicked banter and an electric atmoshere - Hopefully the beautiful game has progressed beyond having threats of meaningless violence associated...
  20. Who went swimming in the sea at Sundeland???

    On Saturday morning me and Mrs Aberdeen Shrimper went for a walk on the beach at Sunderland before the match and saw 4 or 5 lads walking down to the beach and as they passed me i could have sworn that they and Essex accents. We walked along the concrete pier and watched as 2 of the lads went...
