    Ryce is twice as nice

    Jamal Campbell-Ryce struck twice as Southend threw the form book out of the window to secure a vital 3-1 victory against in-form West Brom. The winger had failed to score a single goal for the Championship's basement side prior to the visit of promotion-chasing Albion, but he produced two...

    Goal of the year

    There are two which stick in my mind one is Eastwoods goal against swansea when goater headed it on for Eastwood to score the goal which sent us up. The other... Eastwoods Freekick against Manchester United was also a goal that shall stay in my mind for many years to come. Happy new year...

    Legalising Prostitution

    After more bodies keep being found, and the usual debate evolves on here about capital punishment (sorry but *yawn*), I thought I would take it in another direction... George Bernard Shaw was once quoted as saying that the original Jack the Ripper did what scores of socialists had failed to...

    How do we build for the future?

    We know we're a relatively small(ish) club thats over-achieved in the last few years due to hard work, but how do we go about making the transition from this reality to a club mounting a year-on-year competitive challenge? I know the new stadium will eventually bring in a lot more revenue...

It took another 30 seconds for the memories to filter back...

    My Scouting mission to Ipswich

    Due to not having a lot to do on the Friday before heading up to Leicester (or somewhere, not entirely sure though!) I headed down to Loftus Road for a second time this season with a few Ipswich supporting mates. Here's my take on their team (admittedly from that one showing and the Col...

  10. Coventry Game

    I was impressed with a much improved display this week.  The lads fought and battled hard, and had more desire than they showed in the Cardiff game.  If they pull up their socks and continue to play like that, results will come. Didn't think much of Coventry and don't expect them to be...

    As an avid reader and occasional poster on Shrimperzone I feel must apologise. In common with many other fans comments, my comments such as "I can't believe we've managed to sign Peter Clarke, this is a real coup" and "Prior is f***ing useless and must be dropped for Clarke immediately" and...

    Headed down to the Hall to pick up tickets for Sunday's game and got me wondering what time will the Spread open Sunday with an early kickoff? Heard rumours of 12 o clock opening but that leaves just an hour of drinking time... With trains like they are on sundays it could be an early...

    The Game when you questioned

    On the hole I think my Dad's decision to take me to Southend games rather than say a "big team" has enriched my life. However I am sure we can all think back to a game when you really have to questions why you bothered. A time when just in a moment of weakness you contemplated...
