    Flavs earns us points and Collis costs us!

    Just seen the Gills goal on Blues world and got to say it was yet another ball into the 6 yard box thay Collis has failed to anticipate. These errors are beginning to add up and it is now time to put the proper keeper back in. Amazing how being 6ft 6ins fools people in to thinking that you are a...

    Sri Lanka v England 3rd test at Galle

    Looks like thats it for the day. I've popped into a nearby internet cafe in case they decide to resume, but given there's now a spot of rain that's highly unlikely. Not sure what to make of today. I assume England won the toss and elected to field, but from my vantage point above the new gate...

    Totty Cup 2 - DRAW

    Going into the hat this morning are: Rachel Stevens after her comprehensive 5-3 victory over Beyonce Knowles. Jessica Alba who came from behind in a tight, pulsating affair with Maria Sharapova to sneak through on the away goals rule. Anne Hathaway after dispatching Lillia Kopylova, scoring...

    Dressing as a pirate on the cheap.

    Ladies and Gentlemen, This sunday my mate Sweatys bird is having a 30th birthday party. She is obsessed with Pirates or the Carribean for some reason and has decided everyone has to dress as a pirate. Now if it was a close mate I would push the boat out (excuse the pun) and buy an outfit etc...
  6. Dreams and Nightmares -

    ever dreamt of playing for the Blues ? woke up in an absolute panic this morning knowing I had to phone Steve Tilson to let him know that despite last weeks good performance I couldn't play this week as I was 33 (I wish) and not really a professional footballer - all a bit strange as Kevin...

    Sheffield Wednesday 3 Southend 2

    Another game, another defeat. But this was a completely different game to the defeats at Sunderland, when we were simply outclassed by a quality team, and the home game against Palace, where both teams played poorly but Palace snatched victory. We started brightly with Maher releasing Foran...

    Friday night vs. Saturday afternoon

    I personally felt that last night underlined once again that evening matches under floodlights generate by far the better atmospheres. The Norwich, Manure and QPR games have all been electric this season - I'm sure that the performances have had more than a little to do with it but there's still...
  9. Three questions -

    just had another rush of pre-match nerves and three questions came to mind - 1. - will we see Richie Foran tonight - to start - or sub for who ? 2. - will we hear a convincing outbreak of Ring of Fire at the Hall ? 3. - what will the BlueBelles be wearing ?
  10. Football manager 2007

    I'm tempted to buy football manager 2007 but I was wondering if theres a big difference from the 2006 game? Obviously you get the updated squads but apart from that what else is there thats noticable from the old game? I need convincing!

    Personally

    I cant quite remeber when they came in for Tilly but for my mind it seemed to coincide with our dramatic downfall. I think they unsettled Tilly as it seemed obvious he wanted to at least chat with them. Dont blame him but was very impressed with Uncle Ron as always. About the same time Freddy...

    WE ARE STAYING UP!

    we have 26 games left, so nothing is over just yet. if we can get a few home wins and the odd point away i feel we should be just about ok. i hope it will all start tomorrow with a convincing performance (they owe us one) and three points in fairness our home form has been pretty good, except...

    Let's get this into perspective...

    I'm as disappointed as the next person at what happened on Saturday, and the reactions of the inbreds can hardly come as a surprise. I think that what we need to bear in mind is exactly what is driving their desperation to milk every last drop out of their moment of glory: Col******r have never...

    Slipperduke's Slippery Column

    It pretty much wrote itself this week..... Slipperduke's Slippery Column #12 I've got a massive problem today. It's not just the fact that I've spent five hours in the freezing cold queuing for non-existent tickets to Southend's League Cup clash with Manchester United. Well, actually, it is...

    Slipperduke meets...

    When I caught up with Adrian Clarke in London's trendy Camden, it was raining. "It's raining," he said with a wry smile, as the water pounded against the windows. He glanced outside at the widening pools of water on the pavement, the reflected lights of the traffic turning them into...

    Saturday's View

    IMHO i thought it was a poor game to watch, even though we won 3-1, it hardly set the world alight. The main thing is though, we got the three points! Thought Eastwood was dire and was definitely his worst game ive seen him play for Southend. Other than the cross for one of the goals, he...

    Exciting times ahead...

    Anyone else feel the close season has just flown by! Here we are again, 46 league matches ahead of us.  Seems like only yesterday we was getting ready for the nail biter that was Bristol City at home and the Goats final game. Everyone else ready for the rollercoaster ride that is following the...

    Top 50 film endings

    Thoughts? 50. The Blair Witch Project (1999) - The movie isn't particularly scary... at least until the last two minutes, which take the tension level from 10 to 100 at an exponential pace. The final seconds -- wherein a member of the cast is spotted, back turned and facing a corner, as an...
  19. We've all told  few porkies when chatting up birds

    I'm currently on my work placement year here in Bournemouth. Since my uni mates moved out at the end of the June I have been joined in the house by 4 foreign students, 3 Swiss n 1 from Syria. To my disappointment they consist of 3 blokes n 1 middle aged lady. However, the other night they...

    A Complaint

    What I am about to say is strictly off the record. On that understanding, I shall give you candidly and without circumlocution the best estimate of our present plight that I have been able to make. Before I start, however, I should state that to understand what Southend United's particularly...
