    BOGMISH Rd 1:2 - Stockport v Freddy's debut

    Aptly enough on the day after relegation back to the fourth division, our second first round tie throws up two 4th division promotion seasons. The first one, was the 1986/87 season and ORM's nomination of Stockport away. Football was having a bad time with the Bradford Fire disaster and Hysel...

    Pikey/Cheap food that is actually ok?

    As many of you may recall I took over the shopping duties from the Mrs about a year ago. It wasn't an easy decision for us to reach but it was the right one. The basic problem is I would spend say £100 and come back with loads of meats, pasta,rice,veggies etc - where as the Mrs would come back...

  4. League 2 wage cap

    After speaking to a certain person who works for sufc who used to post on this board, we have a wage cap of 1.4 million pound in league 2 as a club being relegated, where as an existing league 2 club has a cap of £1 million. The club seem to think this will make a massive difference in...
  5. well known supporter from the North bank 70's and 80's

    I have seen my name mentioned on the forum and wonder if anyone remembers me, my name is Keith Mcghie and I moved to Scotland in 1981 after supporting southend since the late 60's. I supported us through some bad times and remember some great laughs in the North bank. Memories are a guy called...

    Wembley's Awful Pitch

    90,000 seats, 2618 toilets, 26 lifts, 98 kitchens and 34 bars. Was it too much to ask for Wembley to provide just one decent playing surface? Saturday’s FA Cup semi-final was like watching naughty ten year olds playing football indoors on an untacked carpet. Every change of direction brought a...

    Post-Match Thread and Ratings Southend United 0-0 Yeovil Town

    Southend United 0 Yeovil Town 0 Well, what a waste of an afternoon that was. Nathan Jones gave us more entertainment than anything that actually happened on the pitch. The players have given up the fight it seems on that showing, so League Two will surely follow. Some questionable tactics again...

    The Dream is over

    The Dream is over I am afraid. We are now heading back to the bottom basement of the FL and there is blame to dish out.Having supported this club for over 40 years we are back where maybe some will say we belong but I feel we do not. This time around it was different we were led to believe...

    Scannell, Mildy and Francis.

    All three have taken stick in the past from the boo boys but I think all have performed above and beyond the call of duty of late. Scannell has been a revelation since he came back in. His pace is electric and is trickery has really been superb. I think he was responsible for 90% of the good...

    It's All My Fault. And I am Sorry.

    This all my fault. For Xmas my other half brought me a retro Southend shirt. So, I stopped wearing the other one (blue n white stripes) and moved into the nice new fabric of plain dark blue. Very comfy it is too. I've worn it at every game I've been to since, which is all the home one and...

    Jose - Up Close and Personal

    Jose Mourinho smoulders. I wanted to get through this feature without writing anything that might worry my new wife, but there you go, I’ve blown it in the first line. But he really does. He smoulders. He walks into the sweaty, over-crowded press room and sits there in front of the lights...
  13. Paterson interview from SSN

    Interesting article. Southend supporters have certainly been put through the wringer this season, with the very existence of their club hanging in the balance at one stage. It appeared such issues had been laid to rest once a £2.1million tax bill was settled with HM Revenues and...

    So here we are, atthe end of another tormentous season of TC action and it's all come down to this...(bites lip trying to remain impartial) In the blue corner, princess of kids music soap operas, BoyWonder2's Rachel Stevens versus, in the red corner, lady of the lads mags, Keeley Hazell brought...

    Do you wipe standing up or sitting down?

    This is a real pub discussion that a few friends have brought up time to time! I for my whole life have been a stand up wiper of my backside. The last year or so I have sat down. So I put it to you Shrimperzone... Do you wipe standing up or sitting down and bottom to top or top to bottom?
  16. Interesting times - changes ?

    Tilson is trying put together a scratch team to save SUFC from the drop and its all a bit of a mess .... but at least he now has a few options - For me both Scannell and MacCormack have to be dropped - Scannel cos apart from when hes got the ball at his feet is a complete passenger - unable...

    Kris Akabusi Stories

    How do you like my bit of spare time writing ....i wish !! Akabusi scaled the walls of the £756,000 Sussex mansion with all the stealth of a gekko on a Mallorcan shower wall. As luck would have it the window was open. He dropped in and slipped out of his dungerees and let the cool air caress...

    General Test Cricket

    Don't know if many of you cricket fans follow the matches not involving England, but there is a great finish to the India v South African series. South Africa thumped India in the first game, but a first innings collapse put them on course for a series levelling defeat. I was watching the...
  19. Drewe Broughton

    (Sent from Facebook) Shaun Murphy sent a message to the members of Drewe Broughton Appreciation Society. Subject: DREEEEEEEEEEEEWE! Has signed for Lincoln - his 18th club. I think we can all agree this is journeymantastic stuff. Oh, and will Drewe's curse strike again? Wrexham, Boston and...
  20. Can things get any worse?

    A lot of fans feel very depressed about what's been going on at our club recently, but can things get any worse? I'm afraid the answer is yes. The one great thing we still have at this club right now is Tilly & Brush. They've proved what they can do on a tight (but reasonable) budget and in...
