    Friendly Results to date

    So far we have played four friendlies, 3 on the UK mainland and one in sunny Spain. In those four games we have scored 18 goals and conceded 4. Although the opposition we have faced has not of the highest order they still were there to be beaten, and beaten them we have. Next up Newcastle and...

    Best shop bought sandwich

    I am quite into the ham and coleslaw ones from Marks and Spencer at the moment. At £1.55 a go you can't go wrong.
  3. If they were Made of Chocolate, They'd eat themselves!

    So, as a bit of light hearted fun, I thought I'd start a post about players that have played for SUFC who for 1 reason or another have come across as arrogant and those who quite frankly fancy themselves. In particular, I noticed the photo of Stephen McLaughlin at the airport at 5am looking...
  4. UEFA Considering Cross Border League's.

    What with all the recent changes lately in our own EFL Trophy, I found this article from yesterdays Times newspaper. http://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/uefa-warms-to-idea-of-cross-border-leagues-to-close-europes-wealth-divide-dxjjh635g Long and short of it being that following a UEFA meeting...

    Midi blog

    I see the blog section appears just to deal with football, so I've stuck mine here. Don't know whether it will interest anyone but it was good therapy, unwinding after an exhausting weekend. MIDI BLOG Today is one of the few days I can sit in front of the computer with absolutely no guilt...
  7. Southend Sounds '76

    Just reminiscing..................anyone on here go to Southend Sounds '76? I remember it quite well. Some good bands of the time played.......Budgie (Hot as A Docker's Armpit springs to mind), Alvin Lee, Fairport Convention, to name but a few. I think that was the last time live music was...
  8. Lee Sawyer

    Does anyone know what happened to this bloke? I remember him being quality before going back to Chelsea (I think), but I never heard of him at all after that. Could be worth resigning him if he's playing sunday league football or something- I seem to remember him being quite young when he was...
  9. Lars Unger

    Lars has just come on at Upton Park for Germany in Legends game against England in a fiftieth game. Sadly the Germans are 1-6 up at this stage albeit it we picked quite a few comedians.
  10. Sad News. Another Great Shrimper gone.

    I am very sad to tell you that we lost another long term Shrimper yesterday. His name was Tony Livermore from Kent Avenue Leigh. He somehow got the nickname weasel. Tony started watching Southend in the late Sixties. Tony was a great guy, quite harmless. Fit as a fiddle as a teenager, but the...

    Original songs and the best cover versions

    Quite simple really, you probably all have some favourite music from your past which others have then recorded as a cover version. Some covers have become more 'famous' and that is the main driver of this thread. I'll kick it off with Handbags and Gladrags. Originally recorded by Chris Farlow...

    Housing market

    Great if your a seller and awful if your a buyer. I'm getting married this month and looking to move out of our two bed rented flat into a 3 bed house. Can't afford to buy with most places like £250k+ and saving 25k is beyond us at the moment and rentals are just crazy. 3 bed houses in dumpy...

    Memory Lane FM247: Radios In Motion

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WrZyqo-kiZE&nohtml5=False This might resonate a little for anyone who's come back to Southend after a little while away. I was staying in town over the w/e and was at a bit of a loose end between an afternoon curry and seeing a gig at The Railway. I had a...
  14. Fan Footage

    Hi guys, I'm going to be making a story of the Blackpool away game like Sky Sports F1 have done here (https://getclipcrowd.com/stories/467) Think it could be quite good for Southend games to make something like this from our fan footage. If you have any photos and videos you want in the story...

    Shrimperzone Men United Team

    Hi All, Having just taken part in Jeff Stelling's Men United March for Prostate Cancer UK I now have the challenge bug. I was thinking about putting together a team to do a walk of some description. I know Shrimpboy and some mates are taking part in the London-Amsterdam cycle ride in June/July...
  16. Brown's signings this season - Ratings

    So since the end of last season Phil Brown has signed the following players. Quite simple really, give them a rating out of 10. Feel free to also summarise Phil Brown's overall results in the transfer market. Transfers: Noel Hunt Anthony Wordsworth Luke O'Neill David Mooney Stephen McLaughlin...

    Who would you rather keep?

    With both our star men out of contract in the summer, who would you (hypothetically) rather keep? A few months ago I would've said Bentley but on recent form I think I'd rather keep Payne. Having a player like that who can carry the ball and beat defenders is so valuable, and quite rare.

    Breaking News Brown Quits (Not Really)

    Ok, no he hasn't. But I thought I'd stop any idiot starting a thread such as this tomorrow.

    Word

    Now I know a few people on here play Word. It's a game similar to Scrabble for those not in the know. Every now and then, when I play on my phone, it flips into the kind of ad that you don't want, usually an "adclick" type of page. You can normally just press "back" and get out of it...

    Roots Hall

    I was looking around the Hall on Saturday and it's not in good shape a all. A thought crossed my mind that regardless of the new stadium the old girl probably is coming to the end of her life. Realistically how long before its an unmanageable situation? It's quite literally crumbling. I'd say...
