Southend vs Southampton
BATTLING BLUES GET WIN AT LAST What a difference a week makes. Morale and spirit hit a new low after last Saturday's abject performance against a very ordinary Wolves side.

Who cares about the Premiersh!te?!
That game yesterday was the best game of football i've seen in a long time! End to end, loads of chances, both sides battling for every ball, goals, shots hitting the wood work, a disallowed goal, a nail biting finish, two 25 yard screamers! Give me that over Chelsea v Arsenal any...- Shrimper Matt

Team Rebuilding
Let us assume that Freddy goes in January for £2 million plus. Why should we blow the cash to buy a proven scorer or other players for other areas.

Why we need to be EXTREMELY WORRIED…

A Bad Day at the Office
Nothing I saw suggested that the Shrimpers would definitely be battling against relegation this season; there were a few positives to take away from the game but there were also one or two negatives.

Matt Harrold
True to my word I feel it is extremely necessary to post on here that I was WRONG about Harrold. So much so infact that I am questioning whether or not he actually is the same bloke who looked so dreadful in the games I lined in over at Harlow Town in 2002.

How others see us now...
At the start of the season, a certain Northern manager was claiming "we should be beating the likes of Southend". Now, unless I am mistaken, we have been ceded the title by Swansea.

The Fixture List
Just been breezing through the Blues remaining fixtures, it would seem most of our home games are against bottom half sides (like Swindon, Blackpool, Walsall), while away from home we have games against top-half sides (like Swansea, Col Ewe and Chesterfield).

Blackpool
Quick points: Blackpool fans were great, had a good chat with some of them before and after the game. They are being screwed by Oyston who won't sell up to a consortium with cash to spend.

There really is more to Southend than the pier, jellied eels and white stilettos," insisted Southend United's centre-half, Adam Barrett, as he shared Football Focus reporting duties with Garth Crooks on Saturday.

Sad and silly stereotypes
This morning I bought a copy of "The Pink", the local Saturday evening sports newspaper to see if there were any previews of tonight's game. The only thing they have is "The Bluffer's Guide to...

I am led to believe that we are battling for Ferdinands signature with two other london based clubs. He is currently training with Watford.

Two good sides, a good open game of football, and a welcome 3 points. Southend started the better and a great Pettefer cross found Gray in the area, but his goalbound header deflected off a defender for a corner. However, shortly afterwards, Northampton got around the back and squared the ball...- fbm
