    New Moderator

    Afternoon all, with ShrimperZone getting ever busier (93 new members in January!) we thought it a good idea to bring in a new moderator. That person is none other than A Century United, so please join us in welcoming him to the fold. As ever, we'll seek to keep the board as unmoderated as...

    Magical Modric

    Spread the word, Luka Modric has arrived. After six months of being kicked off the ball, stamped into the mud and having his pocket money stolen by the bigger boys, the little Croatian wizard has finally put in a performance worthy of his reputation. He tore Stoke City apart at White Hart Lane...

  3. Ref Watch .... Yeovil

    We go from one of the least experienced of the League's officials against Orient to without doubt the most experienced of all the current referees. Paul Taylor from Hertfordshire was due to retire last year and should have bowed out with our play-off match at home to Doncaster. (Good heavens...

  4. Ron Martin on BBC Essex tonight.

    Heard a brief interview with Ron just after 5.30 p.m. when he stated that funds were available to strengthen the squad and today a six figure sum had been turned down by an un-named club for a player. He also said that on several occasions bids had been accepted by clubs for players, but...

    Supporting a club like Southend United

    As I sat high up in the Shed End at Stamford Bridge enjoying our moment in the sun on the greyest of winter days, soaking up the Blue Voice inspired atmosphere, taking in the flag-waving travelling Shrimper army bedecked in yellow and coping with the perforation of my ear-drums from an incessant...

    Setting the record straight

    Just to put this to bed. It appears that I have rattled a few feelings with my hating France thread so to put the record straight heres a couple of confessions. I proposed to my missus at the top of The Eiffel Tower during a romantic trip to Paris, had one of the best meals of my life there and...

    Pre-Match Thread Ricey's Report: Huddersfield Town (H) 13/12/08

    6 Points None The Richer. Saturday's game against Huddersfield town is a definate 6 pointer for the Shrimpers. They are directly below us and if Huddersfield win they go above us, this is something we don't want to happen and why this game is of great improtance to us. I think a major issue...

    What A Waste!

    I’m devastated. Roy Keane’s spectacular career suicide has robbed the Premier League of one of its most intriguing characters and it’s all so pointless. Sunderland have played some good football this year, notably when they finally beat their bitter rivals Newcastle at The Stadium Of Light...

    Pre-Match Thread Ricey's Report: Luton Town, FA CUP 29/11/08

    Minus 30 But Not Out. Who would have thought it? 2 seasons ago both the Mighty Shrimpers and The Hatters were playing against some of the best sides in English Football. Now Luton are on the verge of relegation from the football league less than 3 years after they were playing football in the...

    Police to get 10,000 more Taser stun guns

    Tens of thousands of police officers across England and Wales are to be allowed to use high-voltage Taser stun guns. Funding will be provided for police chiefs to buy an extra 10,000 of the weapons (at a cost of £8M) which are designed to temporarily disable a suspect after a year-long...

    Francis - what's up with him?

    Not wanting to put a downer on last night at all but I cannot even bear to watch Francis anymore. Given that there doesn't seem to be any competition for the place of right back, its no wonder he gets the nod each game even though he has been absolutely dire for 80% of this season so far. Last...

    Gerrard & Co Give Scolari The Blues

    Apologies for the lateness of this, chaps. Should have been up straight after full-time. They may have come back from the dead against Manchester United in September and they might have turned the game around against Arsenal in Easter, but of all the teams to end their 86 game unbeaten home...

    Young Guns Hit Five

    There is a swagger about Arsenal in Europe this year. Since the inception of the Champions League, the Gunners have struggled to take their domestic form with them when they go to the airport, reaching the final just once and crashing out early every other year. In that same time Manchester...

    ok fair enough its a dump,but i simply love the gaff. the pitch is top notch,the quirky ladder to the gantry,the back row seats in the upper,the floodlights which have seen so much over the years,the dodgy food, ect ect. crept onto the pitch on several occasions and "scored" several blinding...

    I’d like to start this week’s column by talking about something I witnessed last week. Picture this, you’re new to the Club, you know only one person there and you’re due to attend your first training session since joining. Banter is always rife at Clubs like Southend so you want to arrive...

    Our Disciplinary Record

    Am I the only one who is beginning to find our disciplinary record a bit of an embarrassment? As I said on another thread it was a lack of discipline that cost us the game last night. Players should have it drummed into them that two footed lunges will result in them being sent off - referees...

  17. Distribution from defense!

    Last night was probably one of the most embaressing passing displays from a centre back pairing in a long time. It also reminded me of the slump we had last season where we played awlful football and never loooked like winning resulting to the long ball every game. Every time clarke and barrett...

  18. What is it about Mr Ron Martin!!!

    NOW!!! i will be honest, this summer i have questioned the lack of investment and the lack of action in the transfer market. I do believe even now that we should have signed players at least 2 weeks ago. BUT, we are now bringing in players, that are not only very good players, but, that by what...

    The fbm view - Canvey

    I'm not going to do a report as such, but will offer just a few comments about tonights performance... if you can call it that having drawn 0-0 against a poor Canvey outfit. This time last year a side containing such stalwart strikers as Billy Paynter and Matt Harrold thrashed Canvey 6-1. We...
