    Question MOD Dogs, the sun's story

    Today you may or may not have a chance to read the article on the front page of the sun about the MOD putting down 288 dogs in 3 years leading on from yesterday's article about Prince Williams guard dogs being put down. Being a dog handler and a dog lover this article has infuriated me as the...
  2. Seafront flooded

    Start to the season

    Well here we are after the first few games of the Brown era. The ethos certainly seems to that of a hard working physical side that likes to play football when in possession. Many posters on here (including myself) had concerns about the back four as well as the possibility of our front two not...

    Pre-Match Thread Team for Hartlepool

    I've seen some terrible games at Hartlepool. A tonking when Newman was manager for instance and a 5-1 loss as well and then the 3-0 loss a few seasons ago. But I expect a better game tomorrow. :thumbsup: Bentley in goal Coker, Phillips, Prosser, White in defence Atkinson, Laird, Timlin &...
  6. 2 free tickets today - South Lower

    My lads team were handing out freebies today & got a couple of spares for some folks who normally want them - turns out they are already sorted so these are going spare. Please contact me asap if you want them. Ideally I would like to hand them over outside the front of the club shop @ about...

    A Bit of Fun Jordan Spence

    I usually steer well clear of rumours, however, because life as a Southend fan is so mind-numbingly boring at present on the transfer front, I thought I would pipe up and let you know that a couple of good West Ham friends have suggested that there are noises coming out of Upton Park that their...

    Favourite SUFC kit

    Seeing as the new home kit has recently been announced, i was just curious to know what your opinions are of what your favourite ever SUFC kit is. Personally mine is the home and away kit of the 2011/2012 season. (The pink away kit and the home kit with the white 'V' on the front).

    Tesco superstore on former B&Q site - a big no-no

    According to the front of Southend's Echo (as shown on FB), plans for a new Tesco in Southend are now not going ahead. Wonder if that might affect Sainsbury's need to get their store built? In all seriousness, I don't think it will, I firmly believe they are in too deep now to pull the plug...

    Luke Chambers

    Our 3rd choice 'keeper, Luke Chambers has recently been on loan at Concord Rangers and has been allowed to return there for the play-offs. They played Wealdstone last night in the SF and a mate of mine is the goalkeeping coach there so I asked him for his professional opinion. It makes good...
  12. Poker Player Ron shows his hand!!!!!!!!

    Once again card playing Ron gives out the same old signals! So, Poker Player Ron is getting boring! :finger: Same old line of years back. In his programme notes apparently he states :- couple of issues to iron out then full steam ahead. ----- he can tie up loose ends. States he will keep...
  13. Poker Player Ron still will not show his hand!

    Well card playing Ron even after Southend Council's Developement meeting on 10th April will still not show his hand. And we still do not know his opinion or if he will start building soon! :finger: No club statement, all is quiet. As we know the local authority need £1 million up front...

    Team for Saturday

    How many changes do you expect on Saturday? Would you go for wholesale or certain areas? My team would be: Bentley Clohessy Mohsni Cressy Prosser Hurst Lund Laird Paxman Corr Eastwood For one I would stick players in their right positions. Bilel needs to show PB that as a defender he...
  15. Cowards and gutless

    I am still In shock at watching so called full time pros laying down and giving in without any courage or fight,Those players in front of 30000 home fans should have run through brick walls and shed blood for the cause instead they choked on every 50/50 ball,They stood and admired Crewe without...
  16. Should they stay or should they go

    It's the end of the season & you are Phil Brown. You have in front of you the current squad. Next to each name you have a simple choice - stay or go . For the sake of this excercise ignore contract length on the premise that you can arrange transfers for anyone. Here is my list . Some guys are...
  17. After our win at Rochdale on Saturday.....................

    Been down after the last weeks results , and the obvious reaction on here last night and today. So in order to redress the balance slightly and introduce a bit of a positive slant during these dark days , I thought I would start this one based on our 3-0 away win at Rochdale on Saturday. Wow ...

    Who starts up front tonight?

    Let's suppose that BBBC is available for for the Plymouth game along with Britt. Seeing that Eastwood scored on Saturday and Tomlin made a promising return in the second-half..........who does Luggy select up front on Tuesday night, against Plymouth. Given our even more desperate need for three...

    Academy Schools

    Does anyone on here have some knowledge on Academy school's? I ask because in a certain Academies case I find the whole set-up a bit worrying. In question for me is The Basildon Academies. I have a daughter at the lower site since September 2011 and my dealings with it have led me to go as far...
  20. Sturrock has Balls

    Hats off to the manager last night. We could also the ball wasnt sticking up front and Corr was needed. He made a crucial decision which probably got us through. Not many premiership managers would have done that.
