  1. Tenuous fact of the season ;

    Surely this is the first campaign ever that the Blues have beaten two different teams featuring sons of one of our previous managers? Yours A Nerd

    World Cup 2014: 100 World Cup moments

    In an attempt to pick up some tips for Southend next season (tenuous attempt to stick this on Chit Chat) I have just worked my way through the video clips on this link http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/26455673 . There are some wonderful moments to savour and some really naff England...

    Pete Townsend in Southend last night....

    Gutted! Absolutely bloody gutted! It being the daughter's birthday we arranged to go out for a meal last night, despite it being my parents' Lions' Club annual dinner at the Arlington Rooms. Some of you will know I've mentioned the tenuous family connection before, but here's the proof - my...
  5. Credit Crunch story, tenuous Blues Link

    Spotted on the Web.... OWN GOAL - "I love my Saturday football fix but am unable to afford Southend's 25 quid, so I've started to walk down to my local non-league team. A few weeks ago, I was standing about 10 yards to the side goal, on a slope, as the away team came towards me. The...

    The Gathering Storm

    Imagine the padlocks clinking shut around the Shankly Gates, or the bailiffs moving in at Old Trafford. Imagine half the Premier League collapsing into administration and tumbling down into the lower leagues. According to reports this weekend, it's not as surreal a scenario as you might think...

    Great North Run

    Slightly tenuous prefix parhaps... I will be running the Great North Run on the 5th of October raising money for the NSPCC. Training's been a bit on and off over the last few months but I've stepped it up recently with a couple of 12 mile runs (yes, I'm not sure why I didn't just do an extra...

    TV Shows that have been made into successful films

    I was talking to my mate about this the other night and just how many of them sucked ***. We started initially talking about comedy shows, but then veered off onto others. Can you think of many that have worked successfully? Or more importantly, the reason why they rarely ever do? We couldn't...

    2007/08 season

    For all the moments of high drama, the goals, the saves and the tears, I've got a funny feeling that the 2007/08 season will be remembered as the year that the owners of football clubs across the land finally lost their tenuous grip on reality. It's as if there is a private competition between...

    United With Fellow Shrimps At Wembley?

    The cold reality of relegation settled in yet after the 'love in' at St Mary's on Sunday? Need a 'boost' as a finale to a long hard footie season, one to enjoy with no pressure in the game's new ultimate centre piece? And to ease you in to the footie desert of summer? Well, what about helping...

    Shrimperzone Poker - The Cheap and Easy Version

    All you have to do is see the previously posted picture and then raise it with your own picture - which must have a link, however tenuous.Seen elsewhere and it has been bloody funny which will probably mean it falls flat on it's *rse here. For example. Diamond Well I'll see your diamond...

    Southend Scotland vs. Southend Ireland

    In an idle moment (or six) I came up with these two teams, both playing in 3-5-2 formation. One is players who played for Southend and were from Scotland, and the other from the Rep. of Ireland. You may be able to come up with better teams, as some of the players, particularly Danny O'Shea...

    Good Omens for todays game

    Don't want to speak too soon but I have a sneaky feeling we may get a 1-0 victory today. The comparisons between today & THAT Bury game all those years ago bear this out: 1)Barnsley & Bury, both begin & end with 'B' & 'Y'. 2)Then & now we have a black...
