    Steve Tilson

    I've just got back home and I am still so angry at today's performance - I've spent a good hour and half discussing the Tilson situation with my mate who, like me, has been going to Southend since the early/mid 80's, so this is not someone who has jumped on the recent bandwagon. I'm amazed to...

    Let's All Laugh At City

    Do you remember when the Abu Dhabi Group completed their takeover of Manchester City? It was all very exciting. Thaksin Shinawatra, one of the stupidest men to control a football club in recent years, was edged out and replaced by a very large pile of money and some amusing promises. Not for...

    Arsenal Still Not Very Good

    Arsenal are the architects of their own problems sometimes. Their failure to secure top spot in Group G can be attributed directly to their inability to beat a woeful Fenerbahce side at The Emirates earlier in the campaign. That traditional tale of misplaced opportunities and wasted dominance...

    Brighton's New Stadium

    Brighton's New Stadium starts on 17th Dec Dream will become a reality when work starts on Falmer Some dates are imprinted in the minds of Albion fans. May 21, 1983, and April 26, 1997, are two obvious examples. Now December 17, 2008, can be added to the list. A quarter of a century after...

    Kinnear Kickstarts Shola Show

    Could it be that Mike Ashley has actually made a sensible decision? The man whose baffling policies have crippled Newcastle United in little over a year doesn't get much right, but in the recruitment of Joe Kinnear, of all people, he might allow himself a smile. The forgotten man of English...

    Letter To Ashley

    After trawling through Mike Ashley's emotional 1664 word press release, Slipperduke has a few questions for him.... "I paid £134 million out of my own pocket for the club. I then poured another £110 million into the club not to pay off the debt but just to reduce it. The club is still in...

    Cristiano Ronaldo

    Cristiano Ronaldo must be the luckiest man in football. Had it not been for that slippery patch next to the penalty spot, or for Nicolas Anelka's almost total absence of professionalism, his spot-kick miss at the Luzhniki Stadium would have cost Manchester United the European Cup. In this...

    A bullet with Avram Grant's name on it.

    He took them to within a slip of the European Cup and a Steve Bennett of the league, but when a bullet with Avram Grant's name on it came whistling in from the Chelsea boardroom it came as a surprise to absolutely no-one. This good, proud man had always been the wrong choice as Jose Mourinho's...

    Apprentice week 9

    Don't know how many were watching what with some football match going on in Russia, thought this was going to be a pretty naff task this week, but what a shock at the end. Teams were shaken up again, pitching Alex as SAS's choice of PM with Lee and Lucinda in Alpha against PM Raef (again...

    Apprentice week 8

    Not as good an episode as last week's, but still quite fun to watch. With Lucinda as PM for Alpha and Helene for Renaissance, the two teams had to select two items to showcase at the National Wedding Fair, with the one gaining the most orders being the winner. Helene and Sara were moved to...

    Reserve League Play-Off Final

    Liverpool's senior side may not picked up any silverware this year, but on Wednesday night at Anfield, Gary Ablett's reserve team were on hand to show them how it's done. Having won their regional divisional with room to spare, the youngsters were sent out to face Aston Villa's second string for...

    Apprentice week 3

    Poor show by the blokes. How canthey set their selling prices before they know their costs? Seems they are struggling with the basics. The leader was poor but the bloke who told them to slash the soup price- Michael, is a liability. He was also the bloke who gave away the fish for nothing and...

    Celebrity Apprentice

    I know the UK version's on tonight, but I saw the US version last week when I was in Canada. And, I'm glad I did. Piers Morgan and Lennox Lewis on the same team, destoyed some bird called Omarosa, a cowboy singer called Stace and Stephen Baldwin. In the boardroom, Omarosa then outed Piers, who...

    Former Luton Chairman Admits Bungs

    The former Luton Town chairman Bill Tomlins has admitted making illegal payments to middle men whilst his manager Mike Newall was claiming that corruption was rife in football. In a long article in today's Daily Mail written by Bob Graham, Tomlins says he made '13 separate illegal payments to...

    No Boardroom rifts here it seem's... Good on Tilly, he know's the job here is far from done. Clicky
  16. So who's been fired?

    I was watching The Apprentice last night and when it got the bit at the end in Sr'Alan's boardroom I was reminded of my own sackings. I've been asked to leave a job twice (funnily enough, the first of those was from Amstrad in Shoeburyness ) and sacked outright twice. The most...

    A cautionary note

    All last night and this morning I have had good old SUFC on the brain. The club are starting to move upwards with a momentum that, at present, looks difficult to stop. The boards are alive with positivity and vibrancy. Today is a good day to be a fan. Yet bubbling under the surface all is...

    We went into the valleys and slayed the giants

    Wow, as the hangover has lifted it has finally sunk in that we bloody did it! Although I always followed the Blues fortunes since childhood I didn't really see many games, even when I started work at 17. I actually started to goto to every home game from the middle of 98/99 onwards so...
  19. FANSZONE

    Would you like the chance of being on Southend United's very own TV Channel? Fed up of just shouting from the stands and no-one hearing you? Want to make your point known to Tilly, the boys and boardroom staff? Feel that another player should be given the chance in the team? Well...
