    Champions League Reports

    Apologies, I've been rushed off my feet this week. Here's both games for you. Is it so inconceivable that Arsenal could end this strangest of seasons as Champions of Europe? Arsene Wenger described his side as 'super-outsiders' before the first leg of their clash with Villarreal, but even after...

    The top tips thread

    In here, we post top tips that will help out our fellow shrimperzoners. Save time in trimming your finger hair by over filling a Zippo lighter then pop outside for a quick smoke. On lighting said lighter your hand will flare up like a leaking gas pipe thus giving your now hairless fingers that...

    Motivation for this afternoon?

    I have a little problem, in that I'm finding it a little difficult, unlike everyone else on here, getting myself really worked up for this afternoon. I suppose that it doesn't help not going to the game and being 1000kms from the action.........but it's not just that. There has always been a...

    Football Must Refer To Cricket

    If you've been keeping an eye on the cricket recently then you'll have noticed some interesting experiments taking place in the West Indies. No, don't worry, England are still reassuringly hopeless, they'll never toy with that. It's the officials who are changing; test-piloting a new system of...
  8. Match postponements

    Living and working in London these days means I have a longer journey than some (not all) to Southend home games. Just before leaving work at around 6pm in Farringdon I check the OS to confirm the match is going ahead. I then leg it round to Liverpool Street and get the last possible train...
  9. Ed Upson

    Apparently we have signed Ed Upson on loan from Ipswich for the remainder of the season. He is a 19 year old striker. I have been informed this information from a Ipswich Season Ticket holder - so fingers crossed this information is correct !!!

    Victory For Football? Not Quite...

    Finally someone listened to Kaka. Throughout this entire silly episode, the Brazilian midfielder has begged and pleaded with the AC Milan management not to sell him to Manchester City. He has told them that he wants to stay and captain the side. He said that he wanted to grow old at the San...

    Football Manager 2009 Review

    I have a confession to make. My name is Iain Macintosh and I'm a Football Manager-aholic. It started with the original Championship Manager, way back in 1993. It took 45 minutes to load and there were no real player names, but it changed my life. The first football management game that didn't...

    Question Interactive Novel Writing

    Ok, bit of a weird one this. I have here the first 1,500 words of a story, battered out in an afternoon to no distinct end or conclusion. It's a first draft, it hasn't been polished or checked and, critically, it doesn't have a direction. I was thinking of a British version of Lost/Journey To...

    Why The Laughter Has To Stop

    It's very rare that you can brutally assess and pass judgement on a football club, as this column did with Tottenham Hotspur two weeks ago, and still be able to come back one match later with plenty of new material. Tottenham, though, are a glorious curiosity for the neutral, but an excuse to...

    Orient thrashing, the 'Taking' of the Spread, and Wiggy's Identity Finally Revealed

    I had every intention of defying my usual trend of taking only 4 photos every trip to see Southend play, but the above is all I got this time around :D Friday morning started bright and early at 7am, where Billy no mates here made his way to Shannon Airport. Got a sneaky, and rather greasy...
