Road to Wembley - Super Shrimpers

The Shrimpers are the best in the world! Peter Osgood, Chopper Harris, Bobby Tambling, The Chosen One, Gianfranco Zola, Ken Bates, the Rich Obnoxious Ruskie, Fat Boy Lampard and Cry Baby Terry, You can keep your Dirty Roubles and your oil. We almost beat you, we almost beat the Flash Chelsea Ten Men Went To Mow Commies. Kerry Dixon, can you hear me? As they say in your language in poncy wine bars around the Kings Road: Your boys took a hell of a beating! Your boys took a hell of a beating!

A 90th minute goal from PETER CLARKE earned OUR League One boys Southend a shock third-round replay against Chelsea. SALOMAN KALOU opened the scoring on 31 minutes when he rose unchallenged to head in Frank Lampard's corner. Didier Drogba twice failed to find the net when put clean through, instead busying himself picking coins up of the turf. Juliano Belletti also saw a header cleared off the goal-line by Southend hero Johnny Herd.

The Blues were made to rue their misses when defender Clarke popped up inside the area to head in a long throw-in. Replay date is Wednesday 14th.
