    BOGMISH Rd 1:2 - Stockport v Freddy's debut

    Aptly enough on the day after relegation back to the fourth division, our second first round tie throws up two 4th division promotion seasons. The first one, was the 1986/87 season and ORM's nomination of Stockport away. Football was having a bad time with the Bradford Fire disaster and Hysel...

    ¡que lastima!

    There's something very wrong with this football club. I've followed SUFC for more than 30 years and, aside from Anton Johnson's brief suicidal tenure during the first half of the 1980s, I cannot think of a worse position that Southend United finds itself at the moment. Ron Martin might spin a...

    English Football Not ****ed. Yet.

    For the first time since 2003, the Champions League will enter the semi-final stage without English involvement. Lyon, bane of Liverpool, will play Manchester United’s conquerors, Bayern Munich, while Barcelona will bound on from their mauling of Arsenal by taking on Inter Milan, the club who...

  5. Anton Johnson

    Flicking through the latest Sky Sports magazine, there is an article listing "The 20 Most Outrageous Owners In Sport". At number 2!! Beating the likes of WWE Chairman Vince McMahon, Jesus Gil, Vladimir Romanov of Hearts and Silvio Berlusconi is the Blues former Chairman Anton Johnson, beaten...

    Blair: Gaza's great betrayer

    It's more than a year since Israel launched its immoral attack on Gaza and Palestinians are still living on the verge of a humanitarian disaster. So what has Tony Blair done to further peace in the region? Virtually nothing, argues the historian Avi Shlaim Comments (98) Buzz up! Digg it Avi...

    GB Relay Team To Win Gold - Eventually!

    The Great Britain Men's 4 x 400m Relay team are to be awarded gold medals 13 years after they ran the race. Roger Black, Jamie Baulch, Iwan Thomas and Mark Richardson were given silver medals at the 1997 World Championships, but when Antonio Pettigrew admitted taking drugs, the US team were...

  8. Bobby Moore & Vic Jobson

    Random find from the Observer about our one time manager and England legend Bobby Moore. Apologies if this has been posted before but it's interesting IMO. History will always consider Moore a managerial failure, and his record at Southend was unimpressive: relegated to the Fourth Division in...

    Let's see if we can get this sorted ie have a clear picture of where we all stand(or sit) on this issue! Is RM 1) the messiah who'll eventually take us to the promised land of FF? Or 2) is he just the latest in a long line of property developers and dodgy business like Vic Jobson and Anton...

    PL Weekly Points Round 19

    A bumper set of fixtures meant bumper points for many, though none more so than for Kristof with a very healthy 16 .. title chasers DtS and Cricko were also to the fore whilst Emu and southend aussies paid the penalty for leaving their scores till late and so missed out on a few easy points 16...

  12. The Scot Who Cried Wolf

    Sir Alex Ferguson, even more than he likes red wine, likes to moan about referee's. He does it so often now that many just ignore him, like the old relative at christmas who's hell bent on retelling his childhood. Well, Ferguson might actually have a point with his ranting this evening... It's...

    X-Files Special: The Teflon Ron

    Reading through many of the posts regarding our current financial woes, one thought has struck me over and over again: How the hell does Ron Martin do it? Mr Martin has been proven to be a liar. That’s a fact that cannot be disputed. I was thinking of prefacing that with an ‘IMHO’, but I...

    Transfer deadline day is one of the most exciting of the season and, with the window slamming shut right on our deadline, you're not going to miss a thing. We told Iain Macintosh to power up his Blackberry, stay tuned to the news and scour the internet for rumours. Here's how his day panned...

    He may not have been there in person, but His presence hung around Wembley Stadium on Sunday like an over-tanned spectre. It lurked in every corridor, loomed over every conversation and sometimes, if you listened very, very carefully to a frequency only just on the cusp of human hearing, you...

    Howard Southwood

    Is he right? WAS very surprised to read in Echosport (July 10) Andy Thorne’s (who he?)comments about former Blues supremo Vic Jobson. To tie Jobson in with Anton Johnson was grossly unfair and, although he was an outspoken and controversial figure at times, he still presided over one of the...
