  1. Any thoughts on Bowditch

    of Ipswich, does have the ability to be a good player and must be eager to move away from Ipswich as he does not figure in the first team anymore! Only 21 and does posses skill, I know Brighton have used him for spells but his loans have never been anything but loans perhaps a loan with veiw to...

  4. Crewe press - Victory at Southend

    Comment Billy Jones CREWE'S players are determined to put their nightmare behind them with victory at Southend. After bombing in a dire 4-1 home defeat against Bournemouth, Alex face a tough trip to put it right at a compact Roots Hall on Saturday. Left-back Billy Jones says the lads are...

    Tilly Out! Bradbury In! 4-1 means we're world-beaters!

    Following on from the Leyton Orient game, I'm hoping this is an early lesson for the one-game makes a season crowd we sometimes get on this board - you know who you are! Last night just shows how almost every game can be turned on one decision, one piece of play or one slice of luck. A...
  6. The view from Neverland on Maldon!

    My mate and me (not captain hook or tinkerbell) turn up on what turns out to be a pretty 'fresh' evening in Maldon. My Mccoys not being enough, I decide to hit the burger bar. A little family run establishment, £1 for about 8 chips being my biggest agitation. 45 minutes until kick off, I have a...

    Preston v Southend - match report

    Sorry, it's a bit late but this is the first chance I've had to do the official SZ match report for yesterday. It is often said in football that the true test of character of a team is how they bounce back from a demoralising defeat and if a vast majority of supporters were highly critical...
  8. Suffolk Shrimper In Dorset

    The answer to all this doom and gloom

    Is to sign one or more of the following in the Jan transfer window: 1. Teddy Sherringham (still not g'teed of regular play at WHU) 2. Chris Powell (finding life a bit hard now in the Premiership) 3. Stan (free agent, complete gamble, but what have we to lose now?) They would all be great...

    Reserves Match Report - SUFC 3 LTFC 1

    Was it the unseasonally warm weather or was it the fact that I'd only recently found out that STHs get into reserves games for nothing ? It matters not. The important thing is that after 33 years of patiently and quietly watching the best team in the world I finally broke my duck to watch my...
  10. Tommytwoholes chips in....

    I have been keeping a close eye on shrimperzone in the last week and it would appear that the recent harmony that we have enjoyed on here is starting to disperse. The main reasons for this seem to be as follows: A) Certain players getting stick and others taking exception B) We have forgotten...

    Worst Game Ever?

    There was a point last night where I was so bored I actually thought I was just going to stop breathing. Like a floundering man in icy water, my system was beginning to shut down on me. To be fair, Switzerland against Ukraine never really hurled itself off the page at me. It always looked like...
  12. Chelsea 2 Col U 3

    Davison v Cudicini: Experience and games (AD) vs. talent on the bench (CC). Will lack of games count against Cudicini? Can AD overcome (and atone for?) his FA Cup howler against Blackburn? Verdict: draw Duguid v Robben: Will Col******r's erstwhile club captain ever face a sterner test...

    Top 5 Signings of 05-06

    Thanks for all your help and ideas on this feature, guys. You may recognise a few phrases here and there. This, I believe was the first article published in a national broadsheet (Eire) that was co-written by the Southend Messageboard. Scott Parker (Chelsea – Newcastle, £6.5 million, June)...

    My take on Saturday.....

    I havent read any of the other match reviews on here yet, I didnt want that to affect what my take on things was, but it will be interesting to see if I concur with everybody else. Overall, I thought it was a fairly lacklustre performance, in more ways than one, and I think overall, we would...
  16. Found - please could the owner PM me

    If any Forrest fans have come on here, if you or a friend lost a lighter with the Notts Forrest logo on it, please could you contact Essex Police, as they found it on Peir Head, and eager to return it to its owner.

    the sufcintheprem views and ratingsSmith

    I was very unsure what to expect today against an Oldham side who had made a decent start to the season but I knew little about. By chance, I ended up going to the game with an Oldham fan who was visiting a mate of mine but from his dramtic reactions, it was difficult to get much information out...
  18. Thoughts on today

    Well to be honest I really wasn't expecting too much today so the result wasn't a surprise.   Well where to start?  I saw this as a game of two halves.  I thought we were shocking in the first half and the only two players to go in at half time deserving any credit where, in my opinion, Mark...

    Good workout today

    As the title says, it was a really good workout for us today, even if it was slightly worrying for the fitness of our players! Grays held nothing back and took it as a Cup match, flying into every tackle. On Cole's second or third touch he was absolutely clobbered from behind and he went...
  20. Ratings please!

    Darryl 6 - looked a bit over eager to stop Lincolns crosses coming in, but made 1 good stop and did little else wrong. Che 7 - Didn't look in trouble the whole game. Barrett 9 - Just immense, best Southend player for years Prior 8 - did nothign wrong and dealt with set pieces well Jupp 9 -...
