  1. Do the club deserve our support?

    As one of the loyal hardy souls who travelled to deepest South Yorkshire last night, I am beginning to feel that the club are taking us for mugs! The debacle over the Spurs ticket allocation and the apparent indifference towards the Shrimpers Trust, led to widespread condemnation of...

    SteveTilson,

    Tilson's biggest failing is his negativety. Still playing powder puff Harold, brings back sideways merchant Hunt and still gives the subs 10 minutes. For Christ sake we need 3 points, why don't he ever go for it 5-4 instead of trying to win 1-0, pathetic and naive, this one aint down to...

    AGAINST ALL ODDS Years ago, when Southend were regularly plumbing the depths of the division now known as league 2, I used to get some funny looks when people found out I was a season ticket holder at Roots Hall.  “What on earth for?” they used to quip, “Surely you must play ‘Spot the Crowd’...

    Why we need to be EXTREMELY WORRIED…

    … YET STRANGELY OPTIMISTIC!! Sometimes when a team is promoted, the momentum from previous seasons can be enough to carry you still forward – see Wigan last season in the Premiership and just look at what we achieved last year ourselves. But then sometimes the step up in class is just too...

    BRIGHTON ROCK AS LATE SHOW SEALS BLUES PASSAGE Southend made heavy going of their 2nd round Carling Cup tie against Brighton at Roots Hall this evening, but in the end it was a naive managerial decision by Albion caretaker boss Dean Wilkins that showed Blues the way.  Tilly had made 2 changes...

    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...

    BBC Snippets - Keegan, Referees, Ballack

    Kevin Keegan could make an extraordinary return to management with Doncaster Rovers, as replacement for Dave Penney. Doncaster chairman John Ryan is a close friend of the former England boss. (The Times) The Football League has stopped the practice of demoting Premiership referees to their...

    The Ant & The Grasshopper

    1. CLASSIC VERSION: The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter. The grasshopper thinks he's a fool, and laughs and dances and plays the summer away. Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed. The shivering grasshopper...

    What are the odds.....

    Of failing to achieve automatic promotion......bomb out of the play offs and get relegated next season back to league 2? Lets face it if we dont get promoted this season, Freddy will most likely be off........ Dont forget, life in football can take a dramatice U-turn at anytime! I for one...

    Greenacre

    Having wanted him so much in the summer, and failing to get him, is anyone concerned about him playing against us tomorrow. The start to his season has been terrific, scoring both strikers goals, and fantastic goals. Not sure if this is the fixture, Tilly should be talking about getting our...
