    Echo

    On the Echo web site - it says something along the lines of 2 in 2 out. States that 2 fringe players are probably going one on a perm and one on a loan. Dont know how to do a link but it doesnt say much more than that except for that they expect us to sign Dougie and that we have signed the...

    3rd Test

    So, England win the toss and bat. Goes without saying this is a massive test, and England can have no excuses with a full hand to choose from. As Im sure most of you know by now, this isnt the team Id have chosen (In form Ravi or Samit Patel over Colly anyday / just about anyone who can...

    Formation

    The diamond formation that i think we have been playing in most pre season games isnt working imo. I think we should go back to the old 4-4-2 formation. What are other people thoughts on this ?

    Indian Takeaways - Basildon help

    Nope this isnt a rant about how children who say 'yuk' to the smell of food are intrinsically racist but more of cry for help. I've been living in the Basildon/Laindon area for about a year now and still havent found a decent takeaway/restaurant to supply me with my curry needs. Does anyone...

  5. Are you happy with the direction it is going in?

    Before i get the calls, this isnt a "fishing" thread as I think that in the main, i am happy but i am just interested to see in light of the recent events what people think EDIT - I can see the mistake in the title MODS!!

  6. Something doesn't feel right

    Maybe this is just me but there is something that is bothering me about this - Nicky Bailey, i can understand rejecting the new contract. He did a very simialr thing while at Barnet (even admitted "sulking") but Peter Clarke and Franny both seem good lads who wouldnt try and hold the club to...

  7. Why worry??

    Everyone seems to be getting extremely stressed at all the goings of late but lets put all this into perspective - Flavs - If (and thats a big IF) he goes, it isnt as if there is a shortage of keepers we could sign and there are plenty who could actually catch a cross once a while! Hunt -...

  8. Southend V Wolves Div 4 1986/7

    what memories of that day, I am sharing a room out here in tobago with a wolves fan, who was there that famous night, and he said to me that, that was the most frightened he had been at an away game, as a young wolves, and he had got caught up under a market stall after the game, when we charged...

  9. Liverpool Street closed again....

    This time, though, it isnt due to the incompetance of tfl/network rail but due to hundreds of revellers having a p**s up before alcohol is banned on all london transport tomorrow!!

    CLF and Drogba

    I watched the Champions League Final in Varsity last night. The atmosphere was brilliant and it was buzzing in there. I did have to ask one of the Man United fans who was gloating before the match if he knew how far Manchester actually was from Southend, but that was just another matter.... I...

  11. Looking ahead?

    Yes were all dissapointed with the result but isnt it time to look ahead and bring in some new signings? We definatly need a striker (in my opinion) but who? and what else do we need? looking forward to next season UTB

    Display At Doncaster

    see it all the time like at the Kop... a huge banner that moves along over the top of the fans... looks effective... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DC694iuqC90 i thought maybe this would look good for friday with a positive message for the players to see amongst the sea of ballons and flags...

    The Reality

    Last night was a great game of football, and for a 0-0 draw a nervous but exciting encounter. But for me it was clear to see that doncaster were a very well organised, footballing side. There touch, passing and movement was top notch for this division. And whenever they attacked, or passed the...

    A possible combination of results:

    15th April: Huddersfield 1 v 2 Leeds Walsall 2 v 0 Bristol Rovers 19th April: Carlisle 2 v 1 Southend Leyton Orient 1 v 1 Doncaster Millwall 1 v 2 Leeds Nottm Forest 2 v 1 Luton Swansea 2 v 1 Yeovil Walsall 2 v 0 Bournemouth...

  15. Today

    Good game, out played Walsall by far. But I still think we deserved more goals than we got. There's still little atmosphere at the 'hall but immature kids shouting abuse at fellow blues fans isnt guna improve it I don't appreciate being told my support is f***king s**t and that I'm not fit to...

Hows traffic going to be managed.....whose going to build new roads. Roots Hall is seved by a bus and train...

    Test series vs New Zealand

    Have seen its likely to be Strauss at 3, and Ambrose coming into the test side. They both may well do well as the New Zealand bowling attack doesnt exactly appear first rate without Shane Bond, but the very fact these two are playing worries me about the direction we are headed and the ability...

    Lets look to the future

    ok so kevin maher looks like he's gone this has been on and off for months he hasn't played for months. other than daryll he has been our longest serving player, great and i thank him for what he has done, but lets be sensible here, i think we have had a pretty average season and with twelve...

    Who is the best Charlie?

    I cant believe that no-one has posted already but we currently have x3 Charlies playing for the club which must be a first. But who is the best. Charlie Mac - The pint sized striker whos specialities include getting injured and getting injured. Charles Ademeno - He really is the man for the...

  20. Mulgrew....better?

    I would just like to go on record, having been very disheartened by Charlie Mulgrew's performances in his first three games, that I thought he looked a lot better today. Perhaps it was the standard of the opposition but he certainly seemed more in control today than in the past. On the...
