  1. Ref Watch .... Charlton

    After what I thought was an excellent performance by late replacement, Mick Russell on Tuesday, the referee for tomorrow night's match is Kevin Wright from Yaxley near Peterborough. His last action in a Southend match was to give Brentford their last minute match winning penalty in the away...
  2. Ale and Cider feast in Rochford

    Over flowing with shrimpers , just returned at 18:00, after enjoying an ale called blues country :D. Any one else been there ???
  3. Ref Watch .... Brentford away

    No surprises with Keith Hill's performance on Saturday then. Glad I left tomorrow's refwatch until now as I would have written about Pat Miller, the original appointee. This was to be his comeback game after failing his pre-season fitness test. However another change: The referee for tomorrow...
  4. When Genius Met Lunacy

    Socrates. Paolo di Canio. Eric Cantona. Emannuel Adebayor. All undeniably great players that have suffered from the madness that often comes with the territory of genius. A game that celebrated some fantastic, flowing football will undoubtedly be remembered for two incidents surrounding the...
  5. Huddersfield 1st Fixture.

    I saw Huddersfield's friendly against a full strength Newcastle the other evening, as a friend lives up north. People wondered why Clarke left to join them, well the evidence was in their play. Good fast flowing football, excellent link up play and very very unlucky not to win. They had by far...

    My two cents

    I'm getting very irritated with the lack of news regarding new faces or even links to new faces that could potentially join Southend United. As soon as we beat Cheltenham we lost two of our key players in the season with the end of Dervite and Robinson's loans from Tottenham and Watford...

    Smelly beaver OCD

    At a wedding last night and chatting with the lads and one in perticular is a ugly ****er but as a youngster he used to nick decent birds , albeit he used to get them when they were young , i'e we were 19 and he'd always go for the 17 year old innocent girls and get his wicked way after a few...

    Shakhtar Uk-reign Supreme

    Shakhtar Donetsk 2-1 Werder Bremen (aet) Adriano, 25 Naldo, 35 Jadson, 97 We've been told for some time that a new footballing power is rising in the east and Shakhtar Dontesk's capture of the UEFA Cup is compelling evidence indeed . The Ukrainian giants, funded by a wealth of gas revenue and...
  9. Brush Interview

    (interesting stuff) Firm Foundations Firm Foundations Southend United may have faced a rare drama-free conclusion to the campaign last weekend, but according to assistant manager Paul Brush, this could yet prove a definitive season in the club’s modern era. Victory over relegated Cheltenham...

    SZ's Southend United Hall of Fame - Paul Clark

    The Viking That alone might be enough words for many on here to vote yes to Paul Clark, but if you weren't fortunate enough to have witnessed his crunching tackles and never say die attitude, I suppose I should give a lengthier bio. The first local player up for election, Clark was born in...

    This Article Took 3 Hours Of My Life...

    ....90 minutes to watch it, 90 minutes to write it. I'll never get that time back. Never. West Ham 0-0 West Bromwich Albion So West Bromwich Albion are just a pretty team are they? Tell that to Rob Green, the West Ham goalkeeper who felt the full wrath of the struggler's newly found nasty...
  12. Ref Watch .. Wright man for the Col U derby ?

    The referee for Saturday's derby match is Kevin Wright from Yaxley near Peterborough. His last Southend appointment was away at Scunthorpe earlier this season. This will be his 6th Southend League match in his 6th season as a League referee, although he missed virtually all of last season...

    Score It, O'Hara!

    Someone really needs to find out what Harry Redknapp is saying at half-time, because if we can patent and market it, we'll make a fortune. After an abject first half at White Hart Lane, Tottenham burst into life in the second, scoring four goals in twenty minutes, helped in no small way by the...

    Dire Chelsea Give Scolari Headache

    They say that fortune favours the brave, but apparently the deal isn't exclusive. On a miserable night in Southern France, the fates took a shine to a substandard, disappointing Chelsea side who should have seen their Champions League hopes laid to waste, but somehow survived to snatch a vital...

    Kinnear Kickstarts Shola Show

    Could it be that Mike Ashley has actually made a sensible decision? The man whose baffling policies have crippled Newcastle United in little over a year doesn't get much right, but in the recruitment of Joe Kinnear, of all people, he might allow himself a smile. The forgotten man of English...
  16. Ref Watch ..... Scunthorpe away

    Our referee on Tuesday should be Kevin Wright from Cambridgeshire. His last Southend appointment was last year's Good Friday game when he was a "no show" through injury. In fact he missed virtually all of last season through injury but seems to be up and running okay this season. This will be...
  17. Poor league!

    Cant believe we are a couple of points of the top two with the quality of football we are playing at the moment.We seem to be sitting back very deep and dont seem to be playing flowing football like we have in past.I do realise we havent played Leeds,Scunny and the foxes yet but we always seem...

    Aussie NRL Grand Final - Manly Sea Eagles vs Melbourne Storm

    From Sydney Morning Hearld THE day has come at last. A hundred years after rugby league began, the two best teams of 2008 - and 2007, for that matter - are set for battle. Two cities have a stake in the hostilities between foes whose histories could not be more different. The Manly Sea...
  19. Creating a problem

    When we lost Mark Gower in the summer I knew we would struggle to score goals this year. A couple of years ago Gower and Maher created a huge amount of goals to help us to succesive promotions plus Eastwood and Wayne Gray were able to create goals for themselves with their pace and skill...

    United's Community Shield victory

    As Dimitar Berbatov's last act for Tottenham Hotspur was to trudge around the pitch with all the speed and urgency of a man who has just left an all-you-can-eat steakhouse with half of the stockroom in his belly, I think we can safely assume that he won't be with the club for very much longer...
