  1. How good was 2012 to you

    Coming to the end of the year now, so same as last year. For me, must be same as last year split into periods. Jan - June = 10/10 Course going well and completed that by end of June passing it. Work was fine and life couldn't get much better. By now I had planned on moving out around November...

    Players at their peak

    Seeing the other thread on the 1500th game at the Hall with a discussion about players at their peak, what would be the best ever squad we could select? The criteria is to have players who DIDN'T play for us at their peak... this would probably exclude Freddy, whose peak was probably with us I...
  3. Question Do you ever post on other clubs forums?

    It seems that whenever we lose a game, a couple of fans from the opposing clubs turn up on here afterwards but with a few honourable exceptions we don't get any of them coming on here after we've won. So I was wondering whether anyone on here ever posts on other clubs forums? If you post...

    Question John Brough

    From the match report in Cheltenham's local rag after we tonked them 4-0 at home in April: "Former Robins player, first-team coach and head of youth John Brough is now involved in the backroom staff at Southend and he would have given boss Paul Sturrock plenty of inside information." I never...

    chatting up / pulling celebrities

    After a mental weekend in London it made me think - there must be a few people (apart from southchurch groyney (i think) who has mentioned this before) who have landed / tried to land a celeb? Mine was fully accidental and wasn't intentional chatting, just banter, she was working for a french tv...
  6. Details of Homer Jolley's Funeral

    I have just spoken to Denise and she has arranged Graham's funeral for 2.40pm on Friday 20th April at Southend Crematorium and afterwards at the Royal Naval Club, Prittlewell. If anyone wants to wear Southend United shirts that is fine, especially as we are at home to Barnet in the evening. If...

    **STOP PRESS** Spread Eagle public house being refurbed!

    I drove past our beloved drinking establishment earlier to day to find it is closed for 1 week for refurbishemnt. Is this the first time in living memory that it is being "done up"? What will it look like afterwards? Will there still be plastic glasses? So many questions.....I want answers!

If you are driving and have space for a little one in the car it would be appreciated (1. Im not little 2. i will pay my way). I...

    Global gathering 29th & 30th july - anyone going (plus spare vip ticket for sale)

    Anyone else going to the above? Really good lineup this year, think I'll be spending most of my time in the Group Therapy & Godskitchen tents. I've managed to get my hands on a weekend press pass so will be covering it on behalf of my In2beats Radio Show and Trancepodium.com. Will be posting...

    The A13 from Tarpots to Kiln Road

    Blimey, I'm on a roll with rants atm! Anyone been up or down Bread and Cheese in the last few days? What a joke! There's bits of bus lanes being put in on different sides of the road, so there's a bus lane going west, down the hill but at the lights there's a bus lane on the Southend bound side...
  11. AGM minutes

    Uncle Albert, boots shining like a cyclists tail light,strode into the foyer of the Palace Hotel. As he did so a smartly dressed youngman hesitantly came forward to greet him. His job was to welcome all the Bluesshareholders as they arrived for the clubs AGM and he’d obviously beenforewarned not...
  12. Mohsni's spell as a striker...

    I'm going to credit Sturrock with some serious balls in giving Mohsni a run as a striker. I was thinking back to when I first saw him, at Bradford away, he was positionally naive but defended well. The main disappointment was that when attacking corners/free kicks he got into good positions but...

    Chesterfield another penalty ridden game 1939

    Well history doesn't exactly repeat itself but there are distinct similarities: Monday 16th January 1939 SOUTHEND UNITED 4-3 CHESTERFIELD (after extra time) F.A. Cup Round 3 Replay Sensation followed sensation in a series of breathtaking thrills in Southend United’s replayed third round tie...

    Q&A with Sturrock and Widdrington

    Anyone going to the Q&A this evening? Would be good if we could get some reports on here afterwards or during... Have the duo signed a contract? Are the players and staff being paid on time? Are there any loan deals in the pipeline? Is Sturrock happy with the quality and quantity of...
  15. A bit of perspective?

    First things first: Saturday's game was not the worst game of football I've ever seen. It wasn't enjoyable to watch as a Southend fan, but then who does enjoy watching their team lose? The answer: most Southend fans? Gives us something to moan about doesn't it? Realistically anyone who thought...
  16. Post-Match Thread and Ratings Southend United 1-1 Stockport County

    What a game!!! This is my first post... Listening to 'Player,' for my first live game after 15 years of being a Southend supporter... I am sitting in Newman a mining town in Western Australia... Despite the controversy, loving every bit of it... including that I am now receiving of air BBC Essex...

    Muttiah Muralitharan

    Murali is playing his final test for Sri Lanka, and before start of play he need 8 wickets to reach 800 wickets in Test Cricket. He took a 5fer in India's first innings and has 1 of the 5 to fall so far in their second innings. I hope he gets there, and it is possible that his total may never be...
  18. Isle of Man coin legal tender?

    I have a 50p coin for the Isle of Man and was refused to pay for a bus ticket using it. I was told afterwards that he should have accepted it because they are legal tender in England. Are they legal tender or not?
  19. Good riddance to Grimsby

    Thankfully they are out of the League. I was dreading them doing the great escape yet again and sending Barnet down which is a nice place to go to where we usually take over the place. I am sure everyone who went to the game there 5 years ago where those scummy fans invading the pitch before...
  20. Player Abilities

    Descriptions of the new Player Abilities are up. Have to love the last one... As promised here are some more details about the abilities that your players will perhaps soon be allocated. Note that there is a slight change in the percentage probability of your players having these abilities to...
