    Local gangs.

    This afternoon I was talking to my mates 21 year old son who last night acted as a doorman at his sisters 16th birthday party. Apparently the following gangs are active in the area: Thundersley rough squad. Hadleigh town younguns. Has anyone else heard of any good ones? If so please share...

    ¡que lastima!

    There's something very wrong with this football club. I've followed SUFC for more than 30 years and, aside from Anton Johnson's brief suicidal tenure during the first half of the 1980s, I cannot think of a worse position that Southend United finds itself at the moment. Ron Martin might spin a...

    Book Recommendation - Mystery/Detective

    People of ShrimperZone, I am looking for recommendations for a book, with a mystery or detective storyline. One that would be suitable for adults of all ages. Talk to me
  5. Arsene Wenger: The Gift and The Curse.

    Such is this success of the Arsenal Ethos under Arsene Wenger that those who question him are instantly vilified by the Gunner’s faithful and, believe me, they have a point. No other Premier League manager can boast an unbeaten season, or even claim to have attributed so much to the progression...

    Question Vacant number 23 shirt

    Am I right in thinking that we still don't have anyone wearing a number 23 shirt in the current squad ? If so, does anyone know why this is (Laurent was given 26 for example) ? And can anyone think of a suitable player to bring in to fill the vacancy ?

    Why don't I feel Christmassy yet?.....

    .....because I've realise what a ******* Santa is, that's why. I mean, aside from the dubious idea of an elderly man entering the bedrooms of sleeping children and emptying his sacks, what else does he do? Think about it: 1) Parking offences - how many parking tickets must he pick up with his...

    Sell The Hammers Now

    Pride. It's the one thing that no man can take from you. Icelandic bank Straumar, who control CB Holdings, who in turn control West Ham, are a proud group of men. They're not going to be messed around by two cockney chancers like David Gold and David Sullivan. The word on the street is that...

    United for Southend

    Does anyone else remember the United for Southend campaign that was quite prominent in the early 90s? For reference, Jobson had started talks with Basildon Council in January 1992 over a new 25,000 all-seater stadium in the New Town; I seem to recall that he had even submitted an outline...

    Nominations please

    Time for another battle. The rules of engagement for this one are: 1)Participants must be or have been a recognised sportswoman at a reasonably high level. For example, Audrey Tatou is not eligible, even if she may once have run in the 100m for her school. If your nomination is someone not...
  12. Question for Golfers...

    Having not picked up a club in anger for the best part of 3/4 years since being at Uni, I've been bitten by the bug again and am keen to get back into the swing of things... I picked up my old rag-tag set of clubs that were fine when I was a bit younger and 2ft smaller, and now I'm in the market...
  13. Ref Watch .... Kettle

    Tomorrow night's match sees the return to Roots Hall of the loose cannon that is Trevor Kettle. Or, rather, Squadron Leader Tervor Kettle based at RAF Cottesmore at Oakham in Rutland. This is his 7th season as a League referee and his matches have been littered with controversy and condemnation...
  14. Dream loan signings

    It looks like we will sign 2 players as we have loaned out 2 players and we should replace them, but it looks like loans are the only viable option at the time. I would love to see a CB join and when I say that, the first player that comes into our head is Dorian Dervite. We will need a LB as...
  15. I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell

    Those of you who have heard of Tucker Max or have read the book will know what I'm talking about, but this is the film out next month in US Theatres, probably next year in the UK, that has been labelled "Twice as funny as The Hangover". The trailer is here, although it's actually quite weak...

    Proactive action to save Southend United F.C.

    Let me start off by saying that I'm not looking to excuse the situation that the club finds itself in in any way shape or form. Even in a best case scenario, with the club agreeing a payment plan with HMRC and being able to continue operating in relative normality, it's axiomatic that steps must...

    Question Wedding day dilemas - Am I being out of order.

    Mrs DtS and I are quite frankly at loggerheads. The wedding of the decade - no sorry century is now just 5 weeks and 3 days away. All appears to be done except the fact I have no ring, suit or speech but hey plenty of time. About six months ago we went to see my good friend and SZ poster (And...

    Ancelotti Needs Time

    Roman Abramovich has made his decision. Now let's see if he'll stick with it. The appointment of Carlo Ancelotti as his fifth manager in under two years may have been met with a mixed response from the fans, but the identity of the man is less important than the duration of his tenure. Chelsea...

    Gerrard Is The Write Stuff

    Steven Gerrard is the Football Writer's Player of the Year. That's better. You see, if you want something done properly, ask a journalist. Admittedly, that saying only holds water if what you want is to have someone drink all the beer in your fridge, or spell something incorrectly, but for once...
