    OD - Week 6

    1st v 2nd, two unbeaten records on the line. A rare GFI for us. Hoping to strangle them to a loooow total. Drop Catch v ShrimperZone CC We can tell you that ShrimperZone CC won the toss and elected to field. The pitch is looking a touch on the green side. All the seam bowlers have been out...

    The Cup - Season 18!

    Got a BOT away (pointless!) and they are 57-8 and im TIE'ing and bowlers are rotating so hopefully they will get 5-6 overs each! Hitchman gets a game and Ngundane makes a rare OD experience to allow Deane and Raven to rest Sookram and Browne also rest and Waterhouse at 6 incase things going wrong.

    OD - Week 8

    Purple Dinosaurs v ShrimperZone CC The batting heroics of yesterday have left us in a rare position where the bowlers are fitter than the batsmen! Full strength line up, was once again tempted to rest everyone but I'll be GFIing on Sunday regardless and throwing BT20 games next week if we get...

    Interview with an Exile: Part 2 - GlasgowSUFC

    This week, Ricardo from Glasgow takes time to answer some questions on being exiled from Southend. Above is him at the Mill. Stad, 2005. 1) How long have you been an exile? A) I haven’t actually lived in Essex for over 20 years now but only have classed myself as a true exile for the 8...

    Don't read if you are of a nervous dispostion

    A true story and its source was the Australian Quarantine Inspection Service in Adelaide. A bloke and his family were on holidays in the United States and went to Mexico for a week. An avid cactus fan, the man bought one-metre high, rare and expensive cactus there. On arrival back home...

    Red Riding Hood - The PC Version

    There once was a young person named Little Red Riding Hood who lived on the edge of a large forest full of endangered owls and rare plants that would probably provide a cure for cancer if only someone took the time to study them. Red Riding Hood lived with a nurture giver whom she sometimes...

    The fbm view and ratings - Birmingham

    BATTLING BLUES PUT BRUM OUT TO SEED Southend pulled off one of the results of the season by deservedly claiming all three points on the sponge that is now the St Andrews pitch. On an all too rare fbm awayday, the result rounded off a decent visit to England's second city. Travelling up in the...

    BBC1..7.30pm tonight...Inside Out

    Being aired tonight on BBC1 is a programme consisting, in part, of rare, not seen before footage of Southend on Sea during the 1940's and 50's. Some of the historic footage features Southend United playing an FA Cup tie against Blackpool in the 1950's with the Shrimpers taking on the talents of...
  9. The Tosh Review - Derby

    Just got back from an exciting game... however we could still be playing and I doubt we would have scored, it was one of those days where both teams could have had 3 or 4 goals. Praise must be give for Derby who defended well and were it not for some woeful shooting and good saves from Flavs...
  10. Sodje/Clarke/Barrett

    With Sodje back from suspension, AB recently proving his doubters wrong and Clarke being probably our best player in recent weeks I guess we have a rare selection problem. So who would you go for at the back against Cardiff and who do you think Tilly will opt for. I think I'd keep Barrett...

    Keigan Parker

    I noticed that Blackpool striker Keigan Parker is scoring for fun again and yet still no-one ever mentions his name as a player for us to look at. He was one of the better players I saw play against us last season, and scored a great goal against us. He is one of those rare players that...
  12. Rochford Council Meeting Report

    Arrived at the meeting a couple of minutes before kick off to find the public area overflowing. Lots of Blues supporters I thought, only to quickly change my mind as I took in the demographics, I was in amongst the away end ! The whistle blew and expecting, Blues to be the main fixture, I was...

    The fbm view and ratings

    NOT QUITE ALL WHITE AS BLUES GRAB POINT Southend earned a deserved point against play-off chasers Plymouth at the Hall today, but wore their all white away kit to do it! Presumably the visitors had not brought down their away strip and so it was felt that the easiest solution would be for us...
  14. Man U. Freddy's BIG CHANCE.

    The Man U. game might well be Freddy's big chance to test himself against the best. Fergusion has no doubt heard excellent reports about our wonderful forward. The Coventry manager went on record saying he was the best forward in the Championship. Freddy one day wants to play in the top...

    Match Report v Ipswich Reseves

    Hmmm, first reserves experience in 35 years of Shrimper watching. Enjoyable in an odd sort of way. The day went something like this: 06:15: alarm goes off. Bllcks it's Monday. 06:22: alarm goes off again 06:22: to 16:00: hard day at work, big important meeting stuff up in London, meeting...

    Stadium question

    As i am stuck in the wilds of the north - i am wondering if i am missing something in regard to the new stadium......i've noticed everyones joy at the design etc but how has anything changed since the last time we tried for a new stadium? The local council were totally obstructive before...

    The Real Football Factories

    I fear I may have missed the boat here, but I caught a bit of Bravo's 'The Real Football Factories' the other night. What the f%&k was that all about? It was like porn for morons. Some little bloke in glasses, who I swear voiced Kent Paul in GTA - Vice City, wanders around...

    Liverpool vs Arsenal 1987

    Littlewoods Cup Final was on ESPN classics last night. What a rare pleasure it was to see hard tackles going in from both teams without the diving, whingeing, free-kicks etc. Both sets of players dusted themselves down and got on with it. In today's game I reckon there would have been a...

    The First 100 Years of SUFC

    Peter Miles and Dave Goody take a look through the history of Southend United, from their formation in 1906, through the early pioneers and the first successful seasons in the Southern League, the grounds the team have played at, the highlights and hurrahs of our favourite team and some of the...
