  1. Ok so 'B' teams are out. Feeder clubs are out. What SHOULD we do?

    So the FA have come up with their master plan for improving the quality of the English game and as a result the England side. And predictably their suggestions have found themselves the victim of an almighty backlash...

    Play-off watch

    Yes, I know there is still a mathematical chance we may not make the play-offs............there's probably a similar chance that Lord Lucan will appear to present the trophy at the Final. So, I thought it may be interesting to speculate who our opponents are likely to be on the weekend 10/11th...
  3. Good Feeling!

    Having won 5 games in a row, we've shown the league that we're not a team to be taken lightly, which most assume we are, having seen the media's pre-season league predictions. i personally think we have cemented ourselves as a top 7 side, which, with the quality we have in the squad should be...

    Pre-Match Thread Southend United vs York City

    Well, after seemingly weeks of debating ticket sales, the game is nearly upon us so I thought it was time to start a pre-match thread. I am assuming there are no more injuries, and I suspect the main decision for Phil Brown is whether or not to recall BBBC (who I assume is over his illness now)...

    FM 14 -Beta now out

    Beta released yesterday for those who pre-ordered. Played it for a couple of hours last night, although that should say tried to play it. I played a couple of games and then it crashed, started new game (hadnt saved the first) and again crashed on same day. Finally managed to get past the...

    Rob Kiernan prevented from signing due to Embargo

    According to Chris Phillips we were trying to sign Kiernan on loan from Wigan. I assume it was on trying to sign him that we were told we weren't allowed an additional squad member. Shame as could have been a decent signing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rob_Kiernan

    Pre-Match Thread Dagenham (H) - JPT 2

    Well, I'm assuming Brown will go against the old adage and WILL be changing a winning team, given his previous comments about Craig Reid, but will that be the only change? I see on the Daggers website that one of their players has been put on stand-by for NI u-21 duty, given that Thompson is...

    Oikos terminal, Canvey.

    I often cycle past this and it always fascinates me. Does anyone work there? If so what is deal with the water filled lagoons all over the place? Is it for fighting fires or is there another purpose? Also, why are the sprinklers outside the (what I assume to be) main office always on?

    Betting

    Lads Can I pick your brains a second. Long story short but I always have £100 at the start of the football season I a betting account and I see what I can turn it into. One season I took £500 out of the account before losing the rest. Normally I get nothing. Last week I opened an account...

    The Great Divide

    Blimey, what a week! We've got people who used to hate Ron now not hating him as much and maybe even liking him as well as people who gave him the benefit of the doubt before who think he is now the spawn of the Devil. We've got what maybe was a well intended gesture and an injection of a...
  11. Rail franchises extended

    https://www.gov.uk/government/speeches/franchise-announcement For all the rail commuters out there, the two rail franchises which serve Southend have been extended today. I would assume that people would be happier to hear that C2C's has been extended by 16 months to September 2014 than Greater...

    Eurovision

    Germany, 5th favourites at 12/1, great price, get on it, these odds will I imagine shorten once they choose their song (should they choose the artist I assume they will choose)

    The Promenade Shopping Park (aka Ron World)

    So, with yet more High Street retailers going into the question of how Ron World is funded raises it's ugly head. Looking at the websites of the both of the joint agents Briant, Champion, Long here and Savills here it would appear that Ron World is struggling to attract interest despite all of...
  14. Britt

    Iiiii bloody love you I do <3 xxx On a serious note, anyone heard anything about extending his loan? Watford mate says it's probably balanced in favour of him staying out on loan all season but then he's not been allowed to play in the FA Cup? I'd assume talks have already taken place? Cheers lads.
  15. Pre-Match Thread Wimbledon

    I assume that the lack of a pre match thread means that there is no turmoil and no team selection to debate...... All good.
  16. Is Ron being advised?

    Ok, so we haven't heard from Ronny Martini for a long time. He doesn't strike me as the kind of guy who can sit back and not say anything. In the past we've had Q&A's, blogs etc etc. I, like many welcomed these, even if he did make promises he didn't/couldn't keep, and he may well have lied (I...

    No.25?

    Who was the player warming up with the 7 subs at half-time wearing No.25 on his shorts? Didn't recognise him, assume it must be one of the youths called up as cover.

    Question JPT Draw

    I assume its on Soccer AM in the morning? Is it still regionalised East and West as well as North and South, and who are the other 7/15 teams that we could get?
  19. Question When was the Golden Age?

    The one certainty about the coming season is that people will be telling us they've just seen their worst ever game at Roots Hall, this is the worst ever Southend side, this is the weakest League two ever, I'm not renewing my season ticket, etc, etc. As people were saying this even when we were...

    Stupidity of football and agents

    Just had an email from Barnet FC informing me about a young winger currently available. Firstly: the agent just emailed info@barnetfc and emailed it for the Attention of Giuliano Grazioli, so I assume there has been no contact beforehand? Second: AFC Wimbledon for a trial? He's just emailed...
