    Chesterfield another penalty ridden game 1939

    Well history doesn't exactly repeat itself but there are distinct similarities: Monday 16th January 1939 SOUTHEND UNITED 4-3 CHESTERFIELD (after extra time) F.A. Cup Round 3 Replay Sensation followed sensation in a series of breathtaking thrills in Southend United’s replayed third round tie...
  2. Why I Own A Green And Gold Scarf...

    I’m not a Manchester United fan. When Freddy Eastwood dispatched a venomous 25-yard free kick past Tomasz Kuszczack in the Carling Cup, I was as ecstatic as every other Southend supporter crammed into Roots Hall. I do, however, own a green and gold scarf. Supporters are funny groups of people...
  3. Flintoff Fit to Return to the Scene of the Crime

    A criminal always returns to the scene of the crime. Jack the Ripper never strayed too far from Whitechapel, and England wept with joy at the news that Andrew Flintoff will be fit to return to Edgbaston, the scene of his slaughter of eleven Australians in August 2005. That fateful game four...

    Garry Cook's Gamble

    I don't want to appear rude or patronising, but something has been bothering me for a while now and I need to get it off my chest. Does Manchester City's chief executive Garry Cook actually understand how football works? I only ask because the evidence is really starting to pile up now. He...

    I think we can safely say.....

    .... The players are finally realising we're in with a chance of the unthinkable!! First time this season, they looked like a team who knew the importance of that victory, and the ridiculously tight margins of error we're working in!!.... That second half was a combination of complacency...

    The Jade Goody Society

    Firstly, and most importantly, I'll state that cancer is a terrible and indescriminate disease. It strikes the young and it strikes the old. I would not wish cancer on my worst enemy. But I am getting increasingly concerned at the media circus that is Jade Goody. Let us look a back at some...

    My Life as a Shrimper PREVIEW PART THREE

    MY LIFE AS A SHRIMPER PREVIEW PART THREE This is the third short review of the newly published Book “My life as a Shrimper” The story of my personal journey supporting Southend United. We had been relegated after six years in the second tier but if we thought life would be easy we were...

    evening echo/graffiti teen story

    now we all know that the evening echo can often be labelled as a pretty shocking publication at times. in the past, this has led me to think about stopping my daily delivery. if it wasn't for news on the mighty blues (i say that very loosely!), i would have cancelled it years ago. but then...

    The fbm report - Port Vale

    I'm just about to head out for the day so won't get the chance to put this on the front page, so here's the final fbm report of the regular season. Enjoy! APATHY REIGNED – AND WE ALL GOT WET. Southend failed to finish their main season with a bang as they were held to a draw by the bottom side...

    Cheltenham today

    I've used my usual scattergun approach to picking horses under the re-assurance that I know nothing and don't expect anything. I'm going to be putting £2 on each of the following: 14:00 - Promising McCoy ridden Binocular to win @ 3.4 and Deep Purple to place at 5.7 14:35 - Long shot...
  11. Self-Righteous Brothers

    For those of you who listen to talksport and 606, I would like to ask a question. Does every West Ham fan that gets on to the airwaves sound like a cliche-ridden self-righteous loathsome ****? Standard bon mots from our ****-ney chums (emphasis on first syllable) : 'We won the World Cup'...

    How old is Ron Martin?

    not 48 or 55 I hope...... We don't need any more potential corruption issues, so I'm hoping I'm being overly panic-ridden here :p

    Just watched the Leeds goals, and...

    as the commentator said, keeper had no chance with the free kick. McCormack was breaking up everything and flying forward even if he is a yellow card nutter. Peter Clarke is still a one or two goal a game liability and always will be and now we have bought another gem in Richards who is also a...

    Geoff Thomas to ride Le Tour route for Charity

    Allez Geoff Very interesting piece of Geoff Thomas' charity ride of Le Tour 05 route for his Leukaemia charity. As he says if all the PFA affiliated players put in a tenner that would help his target a great deal. Has anybody heard (W4 Shrimper, I think you mentioned about this a few weeks...

    So what are the views of Ron Manager??

    And replace it with something that only approx 12% of the population vote for!! Given that our turnout for an election is usually around the 30% mark and say 40% back the candidate that wins. Do you honestly believe invoking this change would save us anything. Of course elected Head...
