  1. Ref Watch ..... Norwich

    Our last three home games have produced no less than 24 yellow cards. Who is the man charged with keeping this impressive run going? Well, tomorrow night's match against Norwich will be refereed by the experienced official, Phil Crossley, from Bromley in Kent. This would be his eighth season...

    Another blank Saturday?

    Given that Millwall will probably beat Hayes in the replay it would appear likely that we won't be playing them away in League 1 on the 2nd January. A Cambridge United supporting mate of mine suggested at Espanyol's dire home game last Sunday that it would be possible for us to arrange a league...

    Crisis Time, But Don't Sack Rafa

    Forget the Champions League. Forget the Europa League. Forget the FA Cup. For Liverpool, nothing now is more important than the Premier League. The very future of the football club depends on where they finish in the table in May. The crass stupidity of the leveraged buy-out that gave control...
  4. Ron speaks

    Make of this what you will. Can't wait to hear his take on squad size! Good luck tonight.Will be listening in - no doubt of the MK commentary as te Southend broadcast is so hit and miss. A few - not many in truth - have commented that I have "gone quiet" over the past two or three weeks...
  5. Interesting Read

    My club, Southend United, has been in the public eye for all the wrong reasons lately what with the possibility of administration. My question is how much does the manager of a club know about the financial goings on at a club and how much would that affect their choice to stay at a club? Matt...

    SUFC history on Wiki

    Ever so slightly slanted towards recent events. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Southend_United_F.C. An unremarkable FA Cup tie at Spurs gets about as much text as 1906-1981!

    FA Cup draw - Gillingham vs Southend United

    Is it today? If so who do you want. I am going for Brentford away - Not that I want to go there I just think we might get them.

    There not another........

    There's not another........ Saturday league home game until the 12th December which in my opinion is ridiculous. I know the whole Friday night versus Saturday afternoon argument has been done to death but I'm pretty disappointed that the club has swung so much in favour of hosting games on a...

    The Ballad of Balloon Boy

    No matter how lethargic and fuzzy-headed you feel this Monday morning, no matter how unenthusiastic you were about the idea of leaving your bed, console yourself with the knowledge that at least one person out there is having it worse than you. Somewhere, presumably on Merseyside, one little boy...

    The "Much Maligned" JPT

    So what do we reckon about it ... 2003/04 ... we were treading water at the foot of L2, but somehow got on a run in this, and decent performances (and of course results) against Swindon*, QPR* and the farmer scum not only led us to a fantastic day (or weekend :puke) in Cardiff but was...
  17. November Fixtures

    I've just looked at the upcoming fixtures on the OS and see that in November ,as things stand,we have just one confirmed home fixture (MK Dons--Friday 20th.),plus only 2 distant away ties (Yeovil--Saturday 14th and Tranmere--Tuesday 24th). Let's hope that we get a home tie in the FA Cup R1 to...

    Tomorrow as some of you head towards Brighton I will be heading the other way towards Worthing. Its one of my best mates ("The Pilot") stag do's and were off Quad biking and Pigeon Shooting. Brighton is such an easy one for me. 10 mins on the train, no worrys about how late I stay drinking...

    Question Something I have never managed to get my head around

    Just a question, the last couple of years with relegation from the championship the accounts show losses of about £2.5m a year? During that time we have had a squad of around 18/19 players, and attendances averaging 8000. According to RM these players are on very good wages (even championship...
