    Anyone know where the new station is going to be? By Tracy Alloway Oct. 19 (Bloomberg) -- London Southend airport, 40 miles east of the U.K. capital, is counting on the 2012 Olympics, a longer runway and faster travel to the city's financial district to help boost traffic 60-fold over the...

    Friday's "Rate Her or Slater Her" Thread

    This week, Victoria Beckham. Since it's quiet today, now might be the time to launch a new thread... I have a notion that there are many women on TV or in films who seem to attract far more than their fair share of compliments just because they are famous! While their fame makes many see...

    Quite difficult to spot them as they are not sporting club favours nor brandishing any weapons . Some have brought spouses and offspring in an attempt to pass for family orientated day trippers .Not even pearly king and queen outfits to give the OB a clue as to their real intent . Bravely , I...

  4. Tilson must go

    the 3 year honeymoon period is over, reality sets in - there has to come a time for sentiment to be questioned, and while Tilly has been a great player for us, his management decisions and lack of ability to attract proven players to the club are providing enough evidence that a new face is...

    Brushy's Comments on the OS!!!

    http://www.southendunited.premiumtv.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10444~1081504,00.html Brush admits the capture of Gilbert will not be Southend's last activity in the transfer market, as the club look to attract at least two more players before the season starts. Looking good!!!

    Realistic Targets

    Guys, guys guys... and gals... When posting details about any player that has been released or who is available please bear in mind that if we were unable to attract Prem and CCC players when we were a CCC side paying CCC wages we're hardly likely to be able to get them when we are in League...

  7. Eastwood

    Now should we get a bid of 3 mill (unlikely) then obviously it makes sense to let him go.. Same for 2 mill.. but with only a year to go at ahat level does it make sense to keep him and let him go on a free at the end of next season.. Is Freddy scoring the 20 plus goals that gets us promoted...

    Next season will shape tillys management career

    Lets be honest here. Steve Tilson is southend through and through and what has achived at this club has been nothing short of miraculous. What worries me most is that given money to spend he has spent it on players that have by and large done nothing for the football club and worse in the case...

  11. Tilson might know what he is doing...

    "Mechanistic" v "Psychological" I have read the threads debating both Tilson's wisdom over signings, and the perceived demise of Shrimperzone with interest. Here is a thought. Tilson, Brush and Martin know exactly what they are doing, and are working to a plan which balances success on...

    Once again it seems that the Minority will outweigh the Majority.
