    The Internet Is Rubbish

    If this is the future then build me a time machine because I preferred it in the past. If I ever have to watch another game of football on my laptop, then there's going to be trouble. Nothing violent obviously, I'm far too weedy for a public rampage, but I tell you what, there'll be some fairly...

    A Bit of Fun Mark Cooper

    Mark Cooper, manager of Blue Square Premier club Kettering Town, has been named as the firm favourite to become neighbouring Northampton Town's new boss. Cooper watched his side beat Gateshead 4-0 on Tuesday night to leave them second in the table. But he has already been installed as the...

    Pre-Match Thread Southend United v Leeds

    Good afternoon one and all So the time is nearly upon us for your “cup final”, the game where form is no guide and you beat us regardless of how much better we are ;). This year I am hoping we will stop being so generous and give you a proper game, maybe we will play a certain Mr...

    Goodbye Bobby Millions

    Several years ago, upon the release of his autobiography, Sir Bobby Robson held a signing session in his home town of Newcastle. Thousands of Geordies turned up, all clutching their books and waiting patiently for an audience with the great man. One of them, so the possibly apocryphal story...

    My two cents

    I'm getting very irritated with the lack of news regarding new faces or even links to new faces that could potentially join Southend United. As soon as we beat Cheltenham we lost two of our key players in the season with the end of Dervite and Robinson's loans from Tottenham and Watford...

    Clement Attlee

    I'm going away for the weekend but my nomination for British hero is up for the first round this afternoon so here's why you should vote for him: Clement Attlee served as Winston Churchill's deputy in the War Coalition before winning the 1945 election and leading the most...

    Job Done

    Manchester United 0-0 Arsenal Sir Alex Ferguson stepped lightly across the slick Old Trafford turf, turning slowly and taking in the view as if it was his first ever visit to the stadium. With eyes full of awe and a broad grin splashed across his face, he let out a long, sigh of satisfaction...

    Fergie Must Quit

    I have a dream. I have a dream of Rome, May 27. I see Rio Ferdinand lifting the Champions League trophy, I see Wayne Rooney throwing his shirt into the crowd, but most of all, I see Sir Alex Ferguson leaning into a camera crew and, above the roar of the crowd, giving them the scoop of their...

    England were crap

    So we were right all along, were we? All those criticisms of Steve McClaren's England, the ones that were constantly rebuffed by the players, the accusations that they cared only about themselves, they were all true? Shocking. I am so surprised I shall have to pick my jawbone up off the floor...
  10. Manager of the Month for February

    6 games ago, a growing number of our fans were clamouring for a change of manager. They said Tilly and Brush were either "past it", "lost the plot" or had only ever got lucky with one or two players such as Eastwood. Once again, just as a similar thing happened last season (although last year...
  11. Ricky boy

    I see on the OS Ricky Duncan has been promoted to take charge of the reserves. Judging by his achievements with the youths I feel it is well merited. I hope he does well.

    Rusty Shackleford's X-Files: SUFC Special

    I thought I would depart from the normal RSXF theme of carl, steveo and I arguing with all the Godless lefties and discuss something which really doesn’t belong in the Pub section – my view on the current state of Southend United, both on and off the field. Steve Tilson has presided over one...

    SZ's Southend United Hall of Fame - Ronnie Pountney 2nd vote

    Up for the second time is Ronnie Pountney The first individual to be nominated 6 times, this still wasn't enough to make him a first ballot hall of famer, as his vote seemed to have got lost in the Christmas period. The idea that Pountney didn't make it was met by incredulity from those who...

    PL Weekly Points Round 32

    Two outstanding bits of predicting dominate this weeks chart ... first sufccolchester landed a 2-0 Leicester / Howard / Wildcard for 8 points, the first time this feat has been achieved ... but his achievements were blown out of the water by OBL who became the first person this season to predict...

    Clough and Ready

    He didn't pick the team, he didn't give the teamtalk and he didn't mastermind the tactics, but the mere presence of new manager Nigel Clough at Pride Park seemed to inspire Derby County to an unlikely, but fully deserved victory over Manchester United. Clough may be following in his famous...

    SZ's Southend United Hall of Fame - Ronnie Pountney

    There are many ways to measure greatness: appearances, medals, honours, popularity. Well Ron Pountney sits third in the all-time appearance list, was an integral part of the club's first major title (Division 4, 1980-81) and won the player of the year award a record three times. Ronnie...
  17. Tilson Brush & Martin

    Frustrations of being a Southend Supporter. It has been this way for more years than I and many others care to remember. A good friend stated recently, "I want success and I want it now, as some of us are getting to an age where we may never witness it unless it comes soon". Having had that...
  18. Southend - under or over achievers

    Interesting research from footballpools.com about the achievements of football clubs over last 16 years or so. Southend rank 30th - Donny are top. Are Blues under or over achievers? More on Longpier

    Born and bred in Yorkshire, Anton, a former international schoolboy gymnast, caught the eye of Barnsley while playing for Ossett Town and joined them in 1975 for his first pro team. Whilst at Barnsley, Anton was also holding down a full time job as a surveyor with the then Gas Board and he...
