  1. Is Tilly safe?

    Reading between the lines, i get the feeling Tilly's position aint to secure at Roots Hall purely down to the fact of the money he has wasted at the club from Rons point of view. Ron has critised in the past about this Ron in the past has given money to spend on new players, but i now think...

    "Where's the width?"

    Just watch the interview on the OS with Tilly's pre-Walsall thoughts. Spoke about Grant playing on the right in front of Franno and said "no doubt people will say, 'wheres the width'" - in a manner that people HAVE said that - I assume either from the East Stand or its been picked up from here...

    English County System Needs A Revamp

    Having spent time out in Australia last xmas I watched quite a bit of cricket, both International and State. One obvious thing is there are only 6 Aussie state sides compared to 18 English county sides. They dont use overseas players in 4 day games therefore every game will see 22 Australians...

    Low Team Morale

    Just been speaking to a friend of mine who was chatting to a fella called Lawrence Revell at a local football match today. He was bigging himself up and mentioned his brother also played football, for Southend United. Without any prompting, he went on to say he doesnt know how long for though...

    Installing AVG

    ok so last month i thought i would upgrade and install the new free AVG, which is 8.5 i believe. When i tried try install it an error occurs and it doesnt install. Now to be honest i kind of forgot about this (meaning i had no Anti-virus software at all) until the other day when my laptop just...

  7. Donny Rovers

    Interesting to see they lost £3.2m last year. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/d/doncaster/8141000.stm Goes to show that even with a nice shiny new stadium it's difficult for small clubs to survive in the Championship. Last year (assuming that's the year they lost £3.2m which...

  8. Meet the blues update

    Pretty poor really, meet tilly at 10 and meet players from 12 noon, whilst you are waiting bounce on a bouncy castle and have your face painted. None of the usual stuff then watching players training session then watch a charity game etc. Not sure the youth tournament is that exicting to...

    Miserable !!

    Morning peeps, just posting as I need some outside contact whilst stuck in a hospital bed at good old Southend General. At least from my restricted view of the window it doesnt look sunny, so not missing out. :darkcloud: Must also thank those who sent me birthday greetings.:):)

  10. Has Tilson got any ambition????

    I had this debate with a friend and he put up quite a good arguement, he doesnt think Tilly has any personal ambition. He thinks if he had he would have gone to a bigger job when he got us up to the CCC, after all he had taken Southend as far as he could to that level with the cup runs etc, we...

    Tilson - Next Seasons signings

    Tilson has just said on the OS that he is hopeful of making a few signings in the summer, but as most players are under contract into next year doesnt anticpate much activity. He talks about mayb a few loans coming in etc. After this season wouldnt we all hope for a more settled team, of our...

    Barrington Belgrave

    I have been trying to track this man down recently, who slipped off my scouting radar quite early in the season. Have finally found him plying his wares for Blunham in the Bedford Football League Premier Division. He scored on his debut, but sadly even Magnum doesnt stoop this low down the...

    7 Interesting facts from the Peterborough programme yesterday

    In no particular order 1. Roots Hall is the most dismal place to watch football in the division - just 30 goals in 15 matches. Apparently, Victoria Park in Hartlepool is the place to be with 65 in 17 matches. 2. Simon Francis has got in the most crosses in the whole division with 111.. I...

    Am I the only one...

    ...That doesnt rate dougie freedman? I know im probably going to get slated on here but i really dont care. I think hes lazy, he thinks hes better than everyone else, his attitude stinks..he blames everything on everybody else apart from himself. He cant even be on the pitch a full game...

  16. thank god for rootshall

    coming away from another soulless concrete bowl, and having done about 15 of these in the last few seasons, I thank god for roots hall and the fact that we shall still be there for the forseeable future. Every single of these stadiums possibly with the exception of Sunderland, are for me killing...

    Superstitions

    Anyone got any funny superstitions? Football or otherwise? I always wear my Southend shirt from the season before under my current Southend shirt and when I am playing I tap my right ankle 3 times before I put my boots on, I know it's wierd and it doesnt work

    Well done Tilson

    Before all the stupid comments come along like "where are all the Tilson moaners now!!!!" etc... I thought Tilson got it spot on today and played about the best team he could with the resources available. I groaned when I heard Francis was playing on the right side, but fair play he did well...

    My Take

    on matters at the club are as follows: RM is and always will be a developer. Developers are in business for the sole reason of making serious money on land opportunities - hence this is the only reason he purchased the club. Is this a bad thing? well not necessarily. I for one believe we...
