    OD - Week 3

    Nadouessioux Akíchita v ShrimperZone CC Three BT20 wins has brought morale back in the right direction. With a winnable Cup game we should be guaranteed decent receipts in FC next week but a win here would help. Unfortunately they're a very strong team these days (used to be known as...

    Pre-Match Thread Cheltenham Town v Southend - League 2

    Don't think one of these has been started yet, so I'll go first this week. Difficult one as far as selection is concerned as, for the first time in a quarter of a year we've got to pick the team up from a defeat. I expect to see Phillips and Timlin come straight back in, and personally I'd...

    Southend Useless XI

    Morning All, Ok your all time most useless Blues XI's ever please. The sort of bunch that would be relegated beyond belief if they ever got together. No one game youth team wonders please with the exception of Rio Alderton who for his performance at Macclesfield will forever live in the memory...

    Under 18's Match Report Youth Team Hit Seven Against Daggers - 22nd October 2011

    Southend United’s Under-18 side scored seven goals for the second time this season as a thumping 7-0 win over Dagenham & Redbridge brought them back into contention for qualification from Group Five of the Youth Alliance Cup. Rob Craven's match report can be found here.

    Drewe Broughton

    El Wristbandito turned out for Thurrock today in their FA Trophy match against Dover. Unsurprisingly, his side were comfortably beaten 3-1.
  6. Time to let Blair go?

    I know this is going to upset a lot of Southend fans, but I really do believe this. We are looking at more firepower according to Tara Brady, but have to work within the wage cap. We now look like a team full of goals home and away. This is, and always will be the way to go. Strikers with no...

    Timlin Back - Part 2

    Wanted to give some credit to Timlin following a run of decent performances from him. Remembering back to when we signed him, there was some opposition to bringing him on board and opinion was pretty much divided on whether we needed him. But he seems to have brought some balance to the team...
  8. 'Happy Hour'? last night

    Really don't want to put a downer on last night but the Club really needs to get its act together on the promotions side. I thought the £1 a pint idea was a good one and the timings right, £1 a pint 6-6:45 which then means you've got a crowd in with an hour to go before kick off who will then...

    Euros to sterling Exchange Rates?

    I have brought back to many "Euros" from my hols and am trying to get the best deal possible for "Buyback". When I purchased my original money I paid an amount that gurantees buyback at the same rate but reading the small print it only covers the first "£200". I have been offerered and...

    Ladies Citizen gold plated watch - to repair or not?

    Guys, I know there are a few on here who know a bit about watches so I'm hoping for a bit of advice here. I have a watch as detailed above, brought for me some years ago by himself. Have repeatedly had problems with it over the years with batteries failing to last for any great length of time...

    Prosser or Gilbert

    I just picked this up from another thread but had been wondering this myself. Why was Prosser dropped and Gilbert brought back into the team, I can 't recall him playing badly and if anything has been one of the more consistent players this season. If I had to pick one out of the two of them I...
  12. Morris minor needs a bit of competition - or we need a new keeper

    Wikepedia gives Glen Morris' height as six-foot - it doesn't seem it to me. And although I wasn't there against Crawley on Tuesday, one can see players shaking their heads on the highlights when he dropped the ball in front of Tubbs for their offside goal. In fact, that game brought all the...
  13. Ref Watch ..... Port Vale away

    Saturday's referee is Rob Shoebridge from Ripley, Derbyshire, in his 6th season as a Football League referee. His career seemed to be developing nicely until a couple of years ago when he was responsible for one of the worst decisions in the history of refereeing - right up there with Attwell's...
  14. Breaking News Outward Loans

    DIVISION One North side Great Wakering Rovers have brought in three players from neighbours Southend United on loan, including midfielder James Stevens who made one Football League appearance for the Shrimpers last season. The others are George Artemi and George Smith, though the latter will...

    Rioting in London over the last few night

    Surprisingly, I can't see any discussion on the rioting that's gone on in Tottenham, Enfield and now south of the river over the last few nights. Unsurprisingly, I hear the bleeding hearts have already been out in the media moaning about police brutality. As I see it, the man police originally...

    Pre match thread: Southend vs Hereford

    Well i couldnt wait any longer to get a little closer to the start of the season . This coming saturday couldnt be in any starker contrast to the start of the previous campaign. This time last year to say that a dark cloud was forming would have been a huge understatement. We had lost...

    Don't know about the rest of you....

    But I am so buzzing and looking forward to Saturday. I can't remember the last time I felt this revved up about the start of a new season. Sturrock has brought in some good players and we don't have a team full of loanees, I don't remember the last time that happened either. Let's all get...

    Pre-Match Thread Dundee v Southend

    So with K.O. a little over 24 hours away, what are your thoughts? Dundee preview - http://www.dundeefc.co.uk/home/news_detail.asp?newsid=1758 So far Dundee have played 3 friendlies, winning 2 and losing 1 most recently to St. Johnstone 0-2 on Weds night. It looks like they have a fairly small...

    Have we turned the corner 1 year on?

    Cast your minds back to July 2010. The negatives: We had just been relegated to League Two. We had just lost Steve Tilson. We had been in court several times that season. Players were going unpaid regularly. Pretty much all the squad had gone and we were in danger of not fulfilling our...
