  1. Sufc ticket office

    Just booked my tickets for tomorrow's game and was curious to how many tickets we had sold for the match, the reply I got was "we're not allowed to give out how many tickets sold" now not wanting to look like a cynic here but this EDIT, just wondered if anyone knew the reason

    West Ham's new stadium

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/33214058 Have just been reading about the Olympic stadium conversion and the whole thing from start to finish seems a shambles. I am not your typical West Ham hating Shrimper, I come from a West Ham supporting family and if I'm honest quite like to see them...

  3. Stoppage time goals

    Ok so last night Wycombe score a winner in the 102nd minute. Tonight Burton get an equaliser in the 98th minute. Now the cynic in me demands an enquiry into the obvious bias towards the top 3 sides in making sure the game goes on until they get some sort of result. I mean Burton even missed a...

    Coughlan

    Thought it was nice of Brown to let Coughlan lead the team out at Wembley. The cynic in me thinks it might have been a bit of a 'deal' from Sturrock - i.e. "I'll step down and not manage the team at Wembley, but you have to let Coughlan lead them out". Either way, was a nice gesture for...

  5. Cameron, Clegg and Osborne

    I cannot think of a single reason (other than the fact that they are not Gordon Brown) that would motivate anyone to vote for a party in which any of these three hold sway. I voted Liberal in the last election and I feel like an absolute mug. If this utter circus continues on I fear that I...

    The cynic in me

    As we as a club descend into the depths of the footballing basement, I can't help thinking this is all part of a bigger plan. There is a clause/covenant in the deeds of Roots Hall that state Southend United Football Club have to be playing at a new site before a development can happen at our...

  7. Playoffs

    Now take emotion out of it, do you HONESTLY think that we're going to squeak into the playoffs this season? Maybe I'm a cynic, but I think it's too far of a stretch to make up those points and hope MK Donuts, Leeds, Scunny et al will lose at least three of their remaining fixtures, not to...

    Was That Really England?

    As the hangovers ebb away and the clean-up begins, a nation struggles to reconcile their fuzzy memories of the game with what they believe they know about their team. Was that really England crashing home four goals against Croatia? Were those white shirts actually passing the ball around the...

    Have you ever own/worn a "comedy" cartoon tie?

    Sat on the train today I had some right nobber opposite me. Bloke clearly thinking he is the mutts nuts sitting there in a waistcoat (1970s) and had a pocket watch - What a ****. It was hot on the train as the heating was on the Chernyobl setting so even I was hot. Anyway the bloke opposite...

    'You'll Never Walk Alone'

    The parties went on long into the night. For the third time in four seasons, Liverpool were through to the final four of Europe's most prestigious competition. Rafa Benitez had asked and the Anfield faithful had provided. The old stadium was rocked on its foundations by the noisy supporters and...

    The case for the defence

    A cynic might suggest that it's due to a combination of poor opposition and convenient bad form but it looks as though our defence has finally tightened up somewhat at a crucial time in the season. Overall goals against (last 8) - 7 driven by Home goals against (last 5) - 3 For various...

    Any Moles in the ticket Office ?

    After the early Bird Window closed any announcement of how many season cards we have sold ? If my memory is correct didnt we have 6,500 season card holders last year The cynic in me says little news on official site means its nothing to brag about

  13. Maher booking

    Is he banned from the cup game next week against Barnsley ?? Call me a cynic if you like, but it seems a good match to sit out a ban. Survival is far more imortant.

  14. Hold on to your hats for this one

    Im called upstairs today for a natter with the boss. While chatting about work type stuff and whatnot he suddenly hits me with 'What stand is the East Stand? I explain which it is when he hits me with this. On thursday morning a letter drops on the mat from Southend Council. In it is...

  15. Fredy Eastwood

    It seems to me that we have signed a fantastic striker for peanuts. Years of disappointment have made turned me into a cynic. There must be a catch somewhere but I can't see it. Any suggestions?
