    Interview with an Exile: Part 8 - Libertine

    This week, recently exiled Andy (Libertine), out in Australia, answers the questions. Below is a picture of Andy and his kids at Surfers Paradise. 1) How long have you been an exile? A) Since August this year. My last game was Millwall away and I flew out the following Monday. 2) Why did...

  2. Favourite Colchester game memory

    With the big game tomorrow lets look back at some of our previous matches with the scum. There has been some great gamse against them recently and also some not so good games but still my greatest memories come from the games in the 80's when we played them 2 or 3 times a season and it was pure...

    If you're depressed about not being promoted.

    If your a bit depressed about not being popmoted, just remember that over the last thirty six years we have been promoted eight times in 1971-72 1977-78 1980-81 1986-87 1989-90 1990-91 2004-05 and 2005-06. If that doesn't help think what it's like being a Rochdale fan. Granted they...

    Southend v Zenit Leningrad

    A question for our more mature posters: Do you remember a Freindly played at Roots Hall on the 6th November 1973 agimst Zenit Lenigrad (now Zenit St Petersburg)? From memory in a very adventourous pre season tour we have played three or four games in Russia the previous season, quite...

    Foran sent off

    Snet off for a two-footed lunge. **** me both Nicolua and Broughton scored. How **** is the 4th division?

  6. Southend Helped Rochdale Get Promotion

    back in the 1960s rochdale were like us a decent 4th division outfit, and they beat us 5-0 i think on the last day of the season to ensure that they got promotion to the 3rd divisio, the people of rochdale hold that team in revere and I have touched the ball that was used inthe game

    10 reasons why Tilson should stay regardless of what happens this season

    1. Colin Murphy (1992-93) - crap manager, boring defensive long ball tactics never worked. 2. Barry Fry (1993) - as he wasn't Southend he betrayed us at the first opportunity, unsettling all the remaining players for the rest of that season and the following season. 3. Peter Taylor (1993-95) -...

    Southend 3 - 1 West Brom

    Albion suffered a New Year hang over at Roots Hall where they were hammered by bottom of the table Southend handing the basement side all 3 points. Down by 3 at the interval the Baggies were unable to get back into the game and failed to build on John Hartson's second-half goal. Monday 1...

  9. Tilson rewrites Southend's history

    Southend's history can now be split into two, the before Tilson was manager and after Tilson was manager. Before Tilson 6 promotions in 97 years one 4th Division title 6 seasons in Division 2(Div 1 or Championship whatever you want to call it) no finals no play offs no major cup shocks no...

  10. Ex-Shrimpers last night

    Busy night for our ex-Shrimpers. In the third division: Matt Lockwood scored a hattrick as Orient came from 3-0 down - Mark Bentley scored Gills first (his second(?) of the season) and Duncan Jupp also played. Wayne "the new Pele" Gray scored for Yeovil. Michael Husbands scored...

    2006

    OK, folks, enough doom and gloom, let's be positive and remember all the great things we have to celebrate! Don't forget whatever happens between now and Christmas 2006 will still go down as one of the most successful years in the club's history, picking up our most significant...

  13. Nineteen years ago today

    On Friday 24th April 1987 Southend played Wolves in a huge 4th Division clash. Southend were just about hanging onto the 3rd promotion spot and Wolves had a long winning streak going and were closing in on us. There was a 10,000+ crowd there. For once Southend didnt bottle it and won the game...

    What were Southend doing

    Using the Little gazzetes checker viz Which is here  and using the year selection it is possible to see what Southend did at, or around your birthday. My birthday 30 Sept '66 shows Southend beating Barnsley 3-0 and 2nd in the league , the old 4th division. My job for today at my employers...

    When i was a young lad enjoying the delights of 4th division soccer on the famed north bank,I used to look forward to the first game of the sesaon as much,if not more than the next person.I see that the first game of the new season is on august 6th, now surely the first game of the season is...

  16. Is Tilson our best manager ever?

    Dave Webb is still our best ever manager but Tilson is closing in as the greatest. I think if Tilson gets us promotion this year it would be a greater achievement than going up to the old 2nd Division. He took over last year with the club in a total mess and in real danger of going out of the...

  17. Stop whinging!

    Being a saddo with an eye for statistics Saturdays defeat can and should be forgotten. We have been promoted six times in the Football League to date and in two of those seasons we were beaten 2-0 in the first game! Ironically, on both occasions by Peterborough. The full stats are...

  18. Dave Smith

    Of all the bosses to run our beloved club, Dave Smith must indeed be GOD... for it was he, who remains the only manager to get us promoted as champions [4th Division 1980/1]. He's apparently still working at 70... down in Plymouth, running coaching courses for kids. His match will be held...
