  1. Question O's Posh Shrimpers

    I saw Orient lose at home to Peterborough on Saturday-at least if we fail to go up again,we'll have two more local derbies next season-the O's and the pigs. But the programme listed about 30 former Orient players who had been at Peterborough,of whom 6 yes 6,had been with us ,after 1990. can you...

  2. New league structures?

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/27289819 Not sure about this. A regional league? Didn't we have this 50 years ago, on the other hand it'll mean more local derbies. However the B team bit bugs me? Don't the FA realise there is a whole 40+ clubs outside of the top 2 leagues with their own...

    Long away days & no derbies?

    2013/14 Our nearest teams for games in the league are AFC Wimbledon and Wycombe W? Not really rivals or local. We also have some very long away trips to the SW with Plymouth & Torquay; the NE to Hartlepool and NW with Fleetwood and Morecambe. With trips to Burton, Mansfield, Newport...

  5. Danny Baker Show - Southend Fan Kate?

    Anyone know the self-confessed Southend Fan Kate who was just on the Danny Baker show? She was putting together Names for Derbies, though most of the clashes weren't true Derbies. EG Southend v Morecambe = The Seafood Derby (Shrimpers v Shrimps) Garden Pest Derby = Black Cats v Foxes etc...

  6. Question Going back in time

    With the state of many clubs finances, do you think that taking a step backwards may help. By this i mean going back to the days of the old 3rd division South and North.By doing this it would generate more local derbies ,which mean higher attendances ,more revenue. Also less travel and no over...

    Canvey vs FC Twente

    Just stumbled across this little blog, an interesting enough read for those with half an eye on the Essex non-league scene. Very much looking forward to those Canvey vs Concord derbies, I'll be there cheering on the Rangers...

    Local Derby, Southend Manor v Basildon

    For anyone interested and after a football fix this afternoon, Southend Manor host Basildon United in the Essex Senior League today, 3pm Kick off. These are usually proper Derbies, Manor are decent at home but Basildon are flying high at the minute. All Support welcome down at Southchurch...

    inconsistency

    29 bloody years, 29 bloody years ive supported our beloved team and in every year of those 29 we have been so inconsistent. What i mean is we always seem to raise our game in either games that we are not expected to do well in or the BIG games. This season for example, we have taken 4 points...

    Rivalries

    With us looking a sure thing for League One action next season, the one silver lined cloud is the possibility of four Derby days against Col Ewe and Orient! Personally, I love Derby day and the week or so leading up to it. It can make or break your month let alone your weekend. After...

    Let battle commence...

    So we are a little over 14 hours away from the Essex derby. Ok, to most it's not the most glamorous of derbies, hell most footy fans wouldn't even look twice at this fixture and think "Big game" but you know what, I couldn't give a toss... To me, this is the biggest game in our football...

    The LDV

    Saw the draw on Soccer AM this morning It's now been rebranded "Johnstone Paint" Trophy You know what, I almost miss being in it this season. Some good ideas to get the punters in. - The draw has been regionalised further to North-West/North-East, South-West/South-East to...

    Home form looks good

    Anyone who knows football will tell you that if you win your homes you will be fine and we really seem to have started well. Whilst neither Sunderland or Stoke are particuarly well placed we have dispatched both with relative ease. I am really hoing that we can start picking up some points on...

    Essex Derby

    My suspicions are that there will be more players originally from Essex involved in tomorrow's clash than there was either Mancunians involved in the Manchester Derby(ies), Scousers involved in the Liverpool Derby(ies), Glaswegians in the Old Firm Derbies, North Londoners in the...

    Why Goater must start against Col U

    1. He scored twice against them back in August. 2. He's got a good record in derbies. 3. He's scored 3 goals in his last 5 games. 4. Him and Freddy play well together. 5. He's more effective starting than coming off the bench.

    Good morning Southend!

    Hello guys looking forward to the game today, the sun is shining and we will be bringing a fair few fans to the Hall so the atmosphere should be great. I cant believe it is 15 years since we last met in the league when you won 2-0 at Layer Road. We are playing pretty poorly at present but on the...

    Good luck for the season guys.

    Just thought I would stop by and wish everyone all the best for next season. I think you will find that there is more football played in this division and less kick and rush stuff, so the games tend to be more enjoyable There are some big clubs for you to pit your wits against so there should...

    Good luck Saturday guys.

    Enjoy the day tomorrow boys, it will be a killer of a day though I see Thomas Pinault is one of the leading contenders for their player of the year, he is always capable of scoring goals out of the blue. Dont give him the space to play and you will be ok, give him room and he has the talent to...

    Well done guys.

    Hello everybody just thought I would drop by again and congratulate you guys on how well you have done over the last few months. Looks like you may have another expensive trip to the Millstad coming up, and possibly another one if you get into the playoffs.I am sure you think now that you can go...
