  1. Ryan Hall in advance role

    What a difference it made having a bit of pace upfront in the last 15 mins. Richards and Laurence had the easiest games of thier lives untill Ryan went on the last man and caused them to panic which led to the goal. During all our home games this season teams have come to Roots Hall with a...

  2. To all the Sturrock bashers.....

    Try and consider our style of play, it's not rocket science. To get the best out of Sturrock we need to be playing the ball into his feet and let him try and link the play with Corr and our midfield players. So why is Sturrock getting all the abuse when all of our defence and midfield so often...

    Post-Match Thread and Ratings Southend 0-0 Exeter

    League 2 football for us next year then :'( Never really threatened and could probably count the amount of shots on target on one hand. Nothing on the bench to change the game, Scott Spencer the only attacking option on the bench. Paterson and Vernon didn't click, Paterson hardly ever ran onto...

  4. Owen Coyle

    Excuse the rambling, I have a soft spot for Burnley.... Owen Coyle to Bolton. If there ever was a mismatch made in heaven then this is it. Up until a few years ago Southend v Burnley was a regular fixture. Dour and difficult to play away and we'd look to get points off them at home. Yet I...

    How long will Boothroyd stay at Col Ewe for?

    Col Ewe have today announced the appointment of hoofball specialist Aidy Boothroyd as manager, but how long do we footballing connoisseurs of Essex (and our jealous admirers from other clubs who frequent SZ) think this marriage will last between the hugely ambitious Boothroyd and a tin-pot club?

    New ideas for TV shows

    Our five-a-side game at Mile End was one player short tonight so someone suggested having a reality TV show to find an extra player. Part of me found this so funny it needed sharing, part of it is undoubtedly self-indulgent but a big part of me is hopeful of getting more ideas from the good...

    Ill-Discipline...

    ...is the key word here. The Blues played well today, but they've irritated me so much. The boys should have been far out of sight mid-way through the second half, but there are too many players panicking in front of goal or being too slow. Just stick it away! And in the last 20 minutes...

    Today's Verdict

    I thought the first half was one of the worst i've seen this season, proper crap! It was just all hoofball and the times we gave the ball away, jeeeeees! Second half we perked up and played some better football. For me, too many players had off days. Sodje, Clarke, Hammell, Maher...

    AFC Hornchurch Vs Wivenhoe

    As I said I was going to on here last week, I made my 10 minute drive to Bridge Avenue for the Hornchurch Vs Wivenhoe game yesterday. Former Youth team keeper Dale Brightly played for Hornchurch, and looked slightly flappable shall we say. Garry Cross lined up in central midfield, but due to...

    For those who weren't around last time

    This is written for those who weren't around the last time we got promoted to this league in 1991. You will see Southend play a brand of football you haven't seen before and which you may have thought they were not even capable of playing. Hoofball of any description will be out...

  11. Blackpool

    Quick points: Blackpool fans were great, had a good chat with some of them before and after the game. They are being screwed by Oyston who won't sell up to a consortium with cash to spend. Blackpool is a dirty, rusty, peeling, faded craphole of a town it makes Southend look prosperous and...

  12. Aimless...

    Thats the word to sum up todays performance... Nothing came out of any attack produced and all attacking play failed to reach any of the two frontmen with enough creativity to give Eastwood or Gray any time to produce an end product... If we're expected to wins omething soon i suggest we...

    the fbm view and ratings

    Tilly said it wouldn't be pretty. Bentley said it would be ugly. Neither were lying. Chester have to be the most cynical side I have ever seen at the Hall.  I would hate to have to watch that rubbish every week and they started time-wasting in the first few minutes.  Every time they got the...

  15. For The Love Of God!!!

    Some of you are really quite fickle aren't you? You are currently seventh which, I assume, you would rather be than the position you were last season. Last season you were woeful against us and the 6-0 aggregate actually flattered you IMO. Today, you were a completely different side with...
