    Rudeness To Ticket Office Staff

    I happened to be in the ticket office today ruminating on whether or not to avail myself of the virtues of the South Upper or the simple pleasure of East Yellows for the Burnley game. As I ruminated, a genetleman (for want of a better expletive) marched up to the counter, literally threw 3...

    The fbm view and ratings - Palace (home)

    EAGLES GRAB AN IFILL IN SMASH AND GRAB RAID Southend suffered a home defeat at the hands of Crystal Palace tonight - but it was a performance that deserved much more. The South Londoners were there for the taking in the first half but Southend failed to make their superiority tell. New sharp...
  3. UFO's...

    After watching some programme on the telly yesterday as I was feeling 'Ill' and didn't go into work, some programme was literally based 100% talking about UFO's. Some nutters were saying they have even seen one?! IMO I think it is the biggest load of bollox ever but what do you think?! Have you...

    anyone know...

    over the last few years there have been all these little disaster things on the discovery channel, and subsequently on BBC 1. eg super tsunami, super volcano (yellowstone) etc. about a year ago these were all combined together in one kind film thing on the beeb, and it was literally this...

    Southend United - How far have we come? Part 2

    "This football club has lacked direction for a long time," Ron Martin told the Evening Echo's Bernie Friend in mid-September 2000. On the pitch Southend United were struggling at wrong end of the Third Division table, having notched up just one win from their opening seven games of the season...

    The fbm view and ratings - Derby

    BLUES SUCCUMB TO HOWARDS WAY It was another point-less afternoon for Southend at the Hall as Derby went clear at the top of the Championship after doing the double over the bottom side. The main difference between the teams was Rams front man and ex-Luton striker Steve Howard. He did the...

    Tilson, we are bottom,

    Another team there for the taking so what does Tilson do, play for a point. Bradders and Prince Harry would not score in a month of Sunday's, Freddy and Hoops do score so why the negative team selection yet again. We actually knocked it about quiet well until it got to the powder puff boys...
  9. Norwich v Southend

    Carrow Road on Boxing Day will always be a bit special for me: it was there back in 1995 that I saw my first ever away win. Gary Jones crouching down at the far post to head in the orange ball at a snow covered Carrow Road. It was only my 27th away game. Sadly Blues' away form since we...

    Spurs vs Southend

    BRAVE BLUES BUCKLE AS CUP RUN ENDS Southend’s wonderful Carling Cup adventure ended at White Hart Lane tonight, but they can be immensely proud of the performance they put in against the Premierships in-form team. Tottenham had won their previous 10 home games and had dented Manchester...

    Southend vs Southampton

    BATTLING BLUES GET WIN AT LAST What a difference a week makes. Morale and spirit hit a new low after last Saturday's abject performance against a very ordinary Wolves side. The local press ran a feature through the week revolving around the supporters views on what had gone wrong. Some -...

    24 Hours On

    Christ, these things don't happen to us.  We have the odd good season, the odd bad, lots of mediocrity, and no ripples waved at all in the football world.  Cup runs?  Pah!  Don't be so silly! I have a copy of the Echo beside me at work though.  It says what I thought I saw.   Southend United...

    Southend vs Ipswich

    Southend 1: Ipswich 3 Blues suffer to the Tractor Boys Backlash A packed Roots Hall suffered in silence today as they witnessed their team lose to an average Ipswich side. Yet again we conceded three poor goals and confidence looks at an all time low. At 2.45 I was waiting outside the West...

    Eastwood and Paynter

    Surely, the Eastwood and Payner partnership should be given much more time to develop. It is a match made in the heavens (literally). Freddy was born on 29 October, and is a Scorpio, and Billy on 13 July, and has the astrological sign of Cancer. I paraphrase the website of Australia's...
  15. 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...

    BRIGHTON ROCK AS LATE SHOW SEALS BLUES PASSAGE Southend made heavy going of their 2nd round Carling Cup tie against Brighton at Roots Hall this evening, but in the end it was a naive managerial decision by Albion caretaker boss Dean Wilkins that showed Blues the way.  Tilly had made 2 changes...

    Shrimperzone Men

    Watching the game on Sky last night when the group tables came on of my mates commented that he had bedded women from three of seven coutries in group 2 (I think). I was wondering if we the virile men of Shrimperzone could betweem us have literally bedded the whole of Europe. Below is a list...

    A plea for help from a fellow shrimper!

    My mate Richard, a fanatical St Mirren Supporter and converted to a shrimper when he moved to Essex, flew out to Zambia the day after attending the league 2 play off final in Cardiff (what a send off!). He has not been back to the UK since, which means he completely missed seeing both his...
  19. Man Utd Fans

    Ever since watching them coast past Charlton midweek, Something has been bothering me. Throughout the game, Ronaldo got abuse everytime he touched the ball, and Rightly so IMO.... If not for the blatant act of conspiring to get Rooney sent off in the World Cup then for his history of cheating...
