    Drama of last few games a historical perspective

    How many seasons have been decided on the last few games of the season and/or also decided on other teams for our place for the following season? In 1931/2, we had our best ever season to date, with 2 games left we were 3 points below Reading and Fulham. That week, Southend beat Torquay, but...

    Snooker - World Championships

    Just watched the last frame of the session of Judd Trump and Domonic Dale and I tell you what Judd trump is such a quality player - I saw him last year at the crucible and he was magic but this year I think he can win it

    Sheff Utd 29 goal top scorer Ched Evans jailed for 5 years

    Wow, surprising he can be found guilty and his mate not guilty of rape? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-17781842 First time I read this I thought the sentence was harsh, then second time I thought well maybe he done wrong but surely that makes his mate just as guilty? Don't suppose we can't...

    Player Sponsorship 2011/12 - Sean Clohessy

    Just want to say a massive thanks to Susannah at the Club, and Sean for a most enjoyable visit to B&L today. Also to the organisers of SZ's sponsorship of Sean for drawing my ticket out. All worked out very nicely, watched training (Prosser didn't take part so can only assume he's not going to...

    Titanic 3D

    Anyone else getting nagged by their other half to take them to see this? I can't stand it myself and believe it is over 3 hours long? (Never watched it all the way through) But, to keep her sweet I will pay the ludicrous prices to go and see this shower... Does anyone know when it is due to...

    SOUTHEND United chairman Ron Martin launched an furious tirade at the team following their 2-0 defeat at Aldershot Town on Tuesday night. More...
  9. Ref Watch ..... Aldershot

    The dead hand of dead-eyed Darren Deadman will be in charge of tonight's second attempt to get this match played. Deadman, from Chatteris, Cambridgeshire is a civil servant, specifically a public transport officer for Peterborough City Council. In his seventh season as a League referee he has...
  10. Opinions

    A wee birdie told me that the gaffer has been studying types of players who have played for Southend and for h is own peace of mind he has watched videos and dvds of games of Southend teams of the past. Under the previous manager the style was no different direct to target man play in in...

    Creepy Crawley v Stoke

    Dreadful dreadful game so far, only matched by the pathetic display of referee Mike Jones .. firstly he sent off Rory Delap for a sliding tackle (though saw fit to ignore the fact the fat fella came on the pitch to remonstrate) then to even things up he gave Stoke one of the softest penalties...

Tomorrow is also our 20th Wedding anniversary (both of us having been marriws previously). As you can imagine this is quite a special day for us, and...

    Manager/Coach Required for U7 Team

    Chaps, Southend Manor urgently require a coach/manager to take on their U7's side, ready for next season. Is anyone interested in this position?? You would need to be available to take training sessions on Sat morning and of course, take charge of the matches every other Sunday. Which are only...

    Moving abroad - What did you miss most or forget?

    As many of you know I'm finally off to HK on 1st Feb after a seemingly never ending on-off saga. It's a permanent local role with no plans to come back even for retirement though plenty of water to pass under the bridge before that happens. I'll be back 2-3 times a year, possibly more if...

    Was it a penalty v Northampton?

    I have watched it a few times and have to say in my opinion it was not a penalty. It seemed like Dicko had headed the ball before the keeper got there and made a bit of a meal of it. I think the keeper came to punch it but it was headed and the keeper went across the top of Dickos head. A very...

    Take It Like A Fan

    Watched TILAF tonight as I had heard our very own "The General" was making an appearance, which he did. Don't worry though the post of Southend is safe as he looked like a rabbit in headlights (only messing Kev) Who were the other Shrimpers and do they get on here?

    Question Football oratory

    Seeing that the old chestnut of 'Your first ever Southend match' has turned up again, I thought that I'd try a thread that I can't remember seeing before (though I'm sure I'll be corrected by someone). Listening to the BP interviews with Martin,Timlin and Sampson, I'm sure that they will each...

    PL Weekly Points Points for Round 33

    We had 30 entries this week, 29 of us said home win (i think i need to go back to my "don't back Southend" days) .. the one exception was from the chap who foresaw our struggle and used it to gain a 10pt week. At the other end of the scale my lad managed 5 outcomes so our slip cost him more than...
