  1. We need a striker, would you accept Ched Evans?

    Evans was released from clink this morning, so I feel it relevant and An interesting topic to discuss. If the club looked to sign him, or even gave him a trial, would you welcome it or be disgusted? Few points to consider... - Would you be happy/angry/indifferent to him representing & being...
  2. Question Marlon Agyakwa

    I watched Marlon Agyakwa put in a good performance for Canvey the other night. He was released by Blues in the summer after playing in their development team. He looked pretty good and told me after the match he wants to get back into the pro game. Has anyone seen him play a bit before and is...
  3. The Thursday Dilemma - Ched Evans

    If all of the circumstances were the same, it just happened to be Southend who had employed him and Southend who now wanted him back and playing. Would you sign a petition against him? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-south-yorkshire-28769026 Background: More than 60,000 people have...

    A Bit of Fun Spurs shop to open in town centre?

    I was horrified to find out that this may be a reality from one of my Hamster mates, who gleaned the story via one of their forums. If the Council have allowed this, the planners should be lynched...

    Memory Lane John McKinven

    It is with deep sadness that I have heard of the death of former Shrimper John McKinven on July 25th.aged 73. He was one of my early hero's who joined Southend from Raith Rovers as an inside left. It was however when he switched to outside left that he became a real crowd favourite. His nickname...
  6. If only

    If only Roy had gone for it! Watched the quarter finals with no stand out side and every game tedious,I still think England could have beaten any of the last 8 if they had played all out attacking football. Brazil Argentina Germany and Holland all look fairly average.
  7. Tangled up in Blue

    Fixture changes?

    How much longer are we going to have to wait for changes in the fixtures? Anyone know? Saturday games switched to Fridy nights etc.
  8. RHB

    Best 'unknown' forward/defender performance you've seen so far.

    Admittedly I haven't watched every game, but the two that have really taken my eye so far are Joel Campbell for Costa Rica going forward and González for the Yanks at the back (yeah, surprised me too!)
  9. Marcus Holness

    I see that Tranmere have bought Holness from Burton. Watched him in both 'home' games last season and thought he looks too short , too heavy , too slow. Despite BBBC scoring in the first game , I thought Holness held them together when we put the pressure on. Good luck to him
  10. Tv better than film

    Over the last few years, TV wizzles all over films. I can't wait for new series' of Game Of Thrones, Fargo, Walking Dead, Orange ITNB, The Returned etc....and there's many fine British dramas too...Line of Duty, Happy Valley for example. Films....I really can't remember the last great film I...

    Burton

    So, what's the chances of us having them first game of next season, and then having played them four times in a row? (I only watched the last 7 minutes of the match yesterday, but 2 things struck me. Firstly, Burton were trying to speed the game up by going to get the ball for Fleetwood...

    The box set thread

    What are you watching, what would you recommend? I am currently watching King Of The Hill. Fantastically well observed. Not laugh out loud stuff but very subtle and clever - 9.5/10 I recently watched Sons of Anarchy and gave up 25 minutes into the first episode. It could only have been more...
  13. Once upon a time!

    Once upon a time English referees were looked upon as being the best in the world, but what i witnessed last night, i watched the SUFC - Burton game live via stream, and right from the kickoff the ref showed bias toward Burton, no this is not bad eggs becoz SUFC didnt get to the final, My...
  14. Its Only A Game

    How many others out there doing a "Likely Lads" on Saturday

    I unfortunately can't make the game Saturday as I was already committed to photographing a wedding. Didn't bother asking the couple if they might consider changing the day........ I'm therefore going to be doing a "Likely Lads". For the younger members out there, this is trying to avoid the...
  15. sky sports

    With the playoffs on sky sports .I just wondered who the pundits will be and as normal will they be anti Southend united . nearly every time i have watched our games on sky the pundits very offen have nothing good to say about our club WHY is this .
  16. Youths last night.

    Watched Fulham v Reading youths last night and what a fantastic game of football,Both teams attacked without fear and it was a joy too watch. Fulham's number 9 looked very good and scored 2 may even have scored a treble if the winner was awarded to him. Once these kids have the fear factor...

    Question Late Kickoff

    I was in westcliff last night round the Mrs' house and was watching late kickoff, watched charlton, milwall, QPR, Orient, then Brentford and then I realised I had BBC London on, why on earth am I getting BBC london in westcliff? It really P***** me off its not as if im well out the southend area...
  18. Question What's the longest we have ever gone without a win?

    This run of results is about as poor as I can remember in 30 years of supporting the Blues. Last years end of season was poor, I have managed to erase much of the late 90's/ early 2000's from my memory, and no one who watched Southend under Ronnie Whelan, Alvin Martin or Dick Bate will have...

    Car Thieving Scum

    And so where do we always return...? Having had a period of lurking (partly due to the busy-ness of getting hitched on 15th Feb), I haven't been as active of late. I'm still here. And my reasons for posting? I woke up this morning to find my car stolen, from the drive. No signs of entry (broken...
