    "Southend's League position is a mystery"... Spurs speak

    Some complimentary comments from Chris Hughton: Chris Hughton takes a look at Saturday's FA Cup fourth round opponents Southend United. "IT'S DIFFICULT to say how much of a bearing the fact that we played Southend in the Carling Cup in December will have on Saturday's FA Cup game - you'll only...

    Southend United - How far have we come? Part 3

    "There will be no stadium at Fossetts Farm and the future of the football club remains at Roots Hall." A year after being ousted from position of chairman at Southend United, John Main returned to warn fans that a new stadium was merely a pipe-dream. His words, posted on a Southend United...

    Spurs vs Southend

    BRAVE BLUES BUCKLE AS CUP RUN ENDS Southend’s wonderful Carling Cup adventure ended at White Hart Lane tonight, but they can be immensely proud of the performance they put in against the Premierships in-form team. Tottenham had won their previous 10 home games and had dented Manchester...

    You know things are bad when.........

    ....after we lost yesterday I felt absolutely NOTHING! Usually for me after we lose games I get angry, annoyed and generally fed up and my family say that I'm not nice to be around. But after the Wolves defeat yesterday, I just felt like laughing. Have we become almost immune to losing...
  6. Still hasn't sunk in

    I've just got back to Brum after my trip back to the homeland, and I still can't believe what happened last night. I was at the Hall, I've watched the tape of the match, I've seen the highlights and interviews too many times to count, stood in WHSmith reading all the match...

    The Best Birthday Present Ever

    Yesterday I thought the writing was on the wall, or on the toilet pan. I'd woken up with a migrane, dodgy stomach and had a case of the 2 bob bits, it was my birthday (25yrs young) and to kop it all off I faced the prospect of watching my team be thrashed on national tele by the worlds biggest...

    Hangovers!

    Is it me or since I hit the big 40, my ability to drink copious amounts of alchahol like its going out of fashion as resinded into a debarcle! When in my late teens and early twenties, I could quite happily go out any night of the week and get totally sh!tfaced, go to bed and get up for...

    The fbm view and ratings

    LAST GASP GOWER MAKES A POINT Mark Gower was the stoppage time hero as he lashed home the 6th and equalising goal of a pulsating thriller under the lights at Roots Hall. This is a game that will live long in the memory of the 11000-plus fans who were fortunate enough to witness the 100 mph...
  10. 100 greatest SUFC goals that never were.....

    OK, we've had the greatest goals ever, but how about the ones that should have been the greatest ever, but for some reason weren't. This could be because they would have been the most famous goal in Southend's history to beat Liverpool or set up a tie with Chelsea, or it might be...

    Todays Tip

    Gift Horse Dandy Nicholls has a fine record with his sprinters and this one looks to have a great chance and offers good value at around 11/1. Most of the runners have faced one another in numerous other sprint races this year and over the years, so this selection is due a win. The danger can...

    Parkinson

    The sour faced ex Col******r git has really made it into the big time.....big stadium, big crowds, strong squad..........but since his arrival, crap results. Why? Because he rode his luck last year and is now being found out The money grabbing weasel was often compared by the media to Tilly...
  13. South Bank Hank

    Drop Prior, Hammell, Francis AND Guttridge!

    ...and other overly-simplistic comments. If only football were a simple game? There's still much to take heart from! Having seen a lot of debate already following two defeats about which player is letting the team down (Hammell, Francis, Guttridge, JCR) I firmly believe that selecting...

    Bread and Butter Games

    Now as we all know no match this season is going to be easy but looking at the fixture list what games should we be expecting to get a decent result from? IMO I think that Col******r and Barnsley we should try and do a doubble on, we know Col ewe are nothing to write home about and we also know...

    Who are the biggest team

    Been having a debate with my friend Steve about the above topic. He thinks the biggest is Newcastle but personally I think its probably Forest as they have won Europe before. Define the biggest how you wish but who is the biggest team we have ever faced in the League ? ( Hence Everton and...
  16. Freddy In Ikon...

    Saw Fred out in Ikon last (sat) night with a few mates, looked to be enjoying himself and by the size of the round he bought and the quality of his dancing, he must have been absolutely sh!t faced   . Glad he don't move like that on the pitch. Spoke to him at the bar for a minute or two, top...
  17. Chelsea 2 Col U 3

    Davison v Cudicini: Experience and games (AD) vs. talent on the bench (CC). Will lack of games count against Cudicini? Can AD overcome (and atone for?) his FA Cup howler against Blackburn? Verdict: draw Duguid v Robben: Will Col******r's erstwhile club captain ever face a sterner test...
  18. Paul Terry

    ... to him yesterday in Yeovil. Seemed a nice chap. He felt Southend were not perhaps the best side in the division but that they were undoubtedly the best organised outfit he has faced this season. He also said he had heard rumours linking hin with a move to Roots Hall in the past but nothing...

    Moaning fan of the year

    On Sky Sports News this morning was a fan who had been voted "Moaner of the Year".  They had an interview with him and he hardly had a nice word  to say about the club or, more to the point, the manager.  After every game he writes a tirade against the team selection or tactics and sends it to...
  20. New apology from the Club

    SUFC wish to apologise for the in-excusable problems many customers faced getting into the ground on Saturday. We were taken by surprise by the large number of fans arriving so close to kick off. We are taking all possible steps to ensure this doesn't happen again and look forward to this...
