    A Vision From Our Future

    Last night I ended up at Darlington v Lincoln. A new ground, not sure if we've ever played there. A beautiful piece of architecture. A cracking ground inside. Certainly much better than Colchester. If I could liken it to another ground, its a larger version of the Keepmoat. Capacity is, I am...

  2. you are all going to hate me for it, but i think it is time for tilson to go!!!

    Yes, he has been a great manager Yes he has had to battle through hard times Yes he has had his hands tied with signing etc BUT He cannot blame anybody but himself for todays crass effort! 4-5-1 at home against one of the worst teams in the division Leaving debutant Patterson up front on his own...

    Happy Birthday OBL

    Rarely, if indeed ever, has anyone split opinion on here like OBL .. be it about Macca, washing her dirty linen in public, Macca, moaning about rep, Macca or Macca she always has a view and always lets us know what that is But lets put all that aside one day and wish the old girl a Happy...

  4. Bobby Moore & Vic Jobson

    Random find from the Observer about our one time manager and England legend Bobby Moore. Apologies if this has been posted before but it's interesting IMO. History will always consider Moore a managerial failure, and his record at Southend was unimpressive: relegated to the Fourth Division in...

  5. 50 games which defined a decade - Part 2 (2005-2009)

    1st April 2005: Southend United 2 – 0 Bristol Rovers (League Two) The second half of the decade began with our beloved Shrimpers surging up the league on the back of a series of virtuoso performances from new signing Freddy Eastwood. From the second week of January we went on a long unbeaten run...

  6. 50 games which defined a decade - Part 1 (2000-2004)

    As we've had our last game of the decade, I had planned to do something about the top twenty matches of the ten years just gone but I found it very difficult to leave some matches out, plus in truth it's some of the defeats which have stuck with me the most. And rather than doing a countdown I...

    Quitting Smoking

    So i've just done the deed of snapping all my cigarettes to pieces because I just can't be bothered with it anymore. It is also one of my resolutions to quit, so I though sod it, i'll start early. I know I've said in the past that I will quit, but I really mean it this time. I'm fed up of it and...

    PL Weekly Points Round 25

    Well this week was about one player, and one player alone I can't remember the last time (indeed if its even happened before) someone gained almost twice as many points as anyone else, but this week it happened so a massive well done to OldBlueLady for a fantastic performance All we need now...

  9. Nicky Bailey

    Carl Baker earned legendary status today for clearing Nicky Bailey out with a stunning right hook apparently, so set your Sky+ boxes to record for the League Show tonight. Comfort viewing indeed.

    Andy Ansah

    Picked this up off the net.....quite a good read for those who remember the legends of the early 90's... Andy Ansah’s wing wizardry for Southend United between 1990 and 1996 helped propel the club into the upper echelons of English football, as the Shrimpers bagged back-to-back promotions from...

    Damn You, Bullard!

    Rest assured, Jimmy Bullard's goalscoring celebrations will be the water-cooler topic of conversation this morning. Bright, funny and naughty. It was physical comedy at its best. But did the tousled cockney give a moment's thought to the floodgates that his finger-pointing may have poked open? I...

    Who from SUFC is switching on your Xmas lights?

    Like most places this weekend sees the big 'switch-on' for what is Hockley village's Christmas Light Spectacular! Only this year is different because we have not one but two SUFC player's taking charge of the deed (normally it is just Su from Essex or should that now be Heart FM but Hockley...

    Henry - A Great Big Woman

    Cheat. Liar. Criminal. Who would have thought that these would have been the words we would eventually associate with the much-loved, oft-celebrated Thierry Henry? Well, me, actually. For all the magnificence that he has shown on the pitch over the years, he has been like this for a few years...

  15. Aren't we forgetting something here?

    If Ron Martin can organise the debts to be paid off, that will be terrific news but only a start. What is the position on that, by the way? Is there any more news to confirm whether HMRC are going to be paid and if so then how? What are the terms of the finance underpinning the payments? But...

    Has it not occured to anyone..........

    A number of people have questioned where the £2.1 million has come from and some have also questioned how RM seems to have been able to find the full amount outstanding to HMRC when just a few days ago he couldn't find just 1/3 of that figure. Well, consider this scenario if you will. Perhaps...

    Question Questions for the consortium

    Thought we could gather some questions that would be useful to ask the consortium about their intentions. Not that they will get asked or answered, but just a gathering of thoughts/concerns etc. To start the ball rolling: If you are just buying the club for £1 with no assets, what are you...

  18. A lot worse than our club folding

    Dts and myself after discussing the possible demise of our beloved SUFC on Friday night realised an even more disturbing fact..It has been over a month now and the Spurs fan Lndfasto still remains in the Green. It shook us to the core and we had no idea as to why such a major thing could occur...

    Well my pedigree chums. I have had a very nostalgic day indeed. I have been thinking about the club the memories its given me both good and bad and the sheer timescale effort and sacrifice that comes with it. It all started for me with southend needing a win at home to luton town with...
