    Dave has the hump with his local council!

    This made me smile on the BBC news this morning. PM leaning on local Tories?, naughty boy! David Cameron is involved in a row with the Conservative leader of his local county council over cuts to services. The PM has written to Oxfordshire council leader Ian Hudspeth saying he is "disappointed"...

    Just wondering what website/apps you shrimpers use? Like, what ones can you not live with out. Ones you use every day. Interested, as I might find a new website to use or a useful app to download. I will kick things off with Twitter, I use twitter daily and pretty much throughout the whole day...

    Question Anyone ever had a book published?

    I have a long held ambition to write a book and am now finally starting to do something about it. My theme is not unique, it will be on getting to the 92 current league grounds, but I am not anticipating writing a best-seller, more that I want to get something 'out of my system'. I had always...
  5. Ref Watch ..... Gillingham A

    Well our last six League matches at Gillingham have finished WDLDWL, so things couldn't have been much more even. After "something old" at Chesterfield (Graham Salisbury, who I thought had a pretty decent match unlike some), we have "something new" at Priestfield. The referee is in his first...
  6. Joe Cole signs on loan to Coventry

    Do you think thats a good signing for Coventry, or a waste of money? he clearly cant cut it in the Premiership any longer. But will he set league one on fire or will is he just way past his prime now?
  7. Fifa

    Blatter on the verge of being suspended as the organisation lays in tatters,bribery and scandal abound. YET I cannot understand why England or other countries have failed to pull out of the WC,FA bigwigs often show their discontent yet money still remains the driving force,European leagues...
  8. Players contracts

    This is a general football post. It really annoys me when players try to dishonor/ force an issue with their contracts by stating they will not play for their clubs (example Berahino, Sterling). Of course if they can earn loads more money etc they will most probably want to go, but if the...

    Can the Government find the money to pay for a truly seven day NHS?

    The question is in the title and my national newspaper carried a full one page notice from the BMA posing the question. Rather than reproduce the ad, the website is below: www.bma.org.uk/working-for-change/doctors-in-the-nhs/seven-day-services/show-us-your-plan If you're interested, have a...

    Questions - Walsall

    Why did Worral not start? Why did Timlin not start? Why was Mooney taken off so soon (I assume an injury but nothing apparent) Does Weston like pizza? He certainly enjoys slices. What will happen to the Daniel Bentley money? That's all a bit heavy for a Sunday morning - but then again so is...

    Outdoor smoking

    I've given up smoking so this doesn't apply to me, but it does seem as if something which is legal in this country (whether you like it or not) is going to get another hammering or the next few weeks. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-33883188 What I do find hypocritical is the amount of...
  12. just info

    hi i know this is not really a Forum thing Can anybody give me the email contact details of RM + SK so I can let them know haw bad the ticket office is run. I am not blaming the young staff but the gen management of it. It must be costing the extra club money, because fans wanting tickets etc...
  13. This Season

    As supporters of the Mighty Shrimpers and residing in the frozen North West, (Morecambe) we made the trek to Fleetwood, excited and yet worried. We needn't have been as I thought we were the better side. If Fleetwood are a fancied side then get your money on us to finish top 3. When Mooney gains...

    A Bit of Fun QPR to launch £1.6m bid for Bentley?

    Various rumours on different Twitter accounts suggesting that they will bid up to £1.6m for DB if Rob Green leaves. Not sure we could turn that kind of money down in the event that we can't agree an extension to his contract (and we all know that is only in our interest).
  15. Ticket

    I have a ticket for The Brighton game,can't go anymore due to work would like the money I paid for it

    Once Upon A Time In Malta

    In 1955 Harry Warren Southend United's manager at the time together with a passionate supporter Peter Coombes (stationed in Malta) arranged for our club to play in a Pre-Season Tournament at the historic Empire Stadium against the top three Maltese teams (from 1954/55 season), namely Floriana...

    Southend United - A Season To Remember 2014/15 Book by Chris Phillips

    I bought Chris Phillips book "Southend United - A Season To Remember 2014/2015" today before the game and just wanted to say what an excellent publication this is, beautifully illustrated and very well written indeed by the veritable Mr Phillips. Truly does justice to such a wonderful season...
  18. Question How much would you pay to see us sign a top striker?

    With the off season being a bit dull and looking around at other clubs' fans who have decide to raise funds to buy a player. Grimsby wanted to raise £20k to help them achieve promotion and having smashed that are looking for £100k now. http://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/GTFC A couple of slightly...
  19. High profile players we're linked too

    I've been thinking, we seem to be linked to some high profile players of late, who don't come cheap. Ok they're free transfers but the wages must be very high. My question is, where's the money coming from. I know people have spoken before about a mysterious backer, maybe this is true...
