  1. Trains today

    Should anyone be on the 17.57 ex Euston today for Tamworth, sad to say the train has been cancelled due to wires and the left over leaves from last autumn down at Leighton Buzzard.

    Current England players who came through the lower leagues

    Adam Lallana scored twice at Roots Hall and again on the final day of the 09/10 season in League One for Southampton, to take his tally to 20 goals for the season. In that latter game Alex Oxlade Chamberlain came on as sub and Ricky Lambert scored twice. Lambert also scored four against us the...
  3. Leighton Baines

    Given that Moyes contract does not officially end with Everton until 30th June , did he in fact reject his own bid for Leighton Baines yesterday ??
  4. Ref Watch ....... Rochdale

    Our last eleven home matches against Rochale have produced 8 wins and 3 draws. The last home defeat was in 1985. These matches included a 4 goal haul, two 5s and an incredible recovery from 3-0 down at half time for a point. Anyway, the man in charge tomorrow is second year referee Carl Berry...

    England Squad

    Glad to see Osman has finally been given a chance, at 31 !! Massivley underated. Wilshere doesn't derserve his place IMO, nor does Glen Johnson. The defence looks weak IMO but apart from that a very attack minded squad, that's presumably gonna be asked to defend for 90 minutes. Still better...
  6. Ref Watch ....... Accrington Stanley home

    A short Refwatch this week as there is little to say about tomorrow's referee. He is Tim Robinson from Bognor Regis and this is his first ever match as a League referee. His previous Southend appointments have all been as an Assistant Referee, the most recent of which was Torquay away last...
  7. Ref Watch ........ Oxford away

    Given the number of experienced officials who have been assigned to matches with nothing riding on them, I am surprised a match that matters (potentially) to both teams has been given to a first year referee, Lee Collins from Surrey. He is being fast tracked through the system and has risen to...
  8. Ref Watch ....... Port Vale

    Man in charge as we try to get our home form back on track and pick up our first 3 points at Roots Hall for just over two months will be second year referee Brendan Malone from Salisbury refereeing his fourth Southend match. He was in charge of the "dead" match, our fourth game against...
  9. Ref Watch ...... Oldham Cup

    The referee for our Cup match shares his name with the scorer of the FA Cup Final winning goal 42 seasons ago (I wonder what he's been up to since!) Man in charge is Dave Webb from Sunderland. In his fourth season, he is quite highly rated as one of the more promising of the younger officials...

    Southend Manor

    For those interested here is footage of Southend Manor in the FA CUP yesterday. It is good for the town to have 2 film crews in on the same day. Wonder what the odds are of a Southend Utd vs Southend Manor first round draw...
  11. Who's Going Home In An FA Sponsored Aston?

    With just 90 minutes of football seperating the thirty prospective England internationals from South Africa, which seven unfortunate players will find themselves on stand-by? Michael Carrick: Unfortunately for the Manchester United midfielder, England have a relative embarrassment of riches in...

    England Flatter To Deceive

    NOTHING FOR ENGLAND TO SHOUT ABOUT Forget about the result, this was not a good night for England. Fabio Capello has much to ponder before he makes his final squad selection for the World Cup. A 3-1 victory over a side of Mexico’s quality is a fine result on paper, but the performance that went...

    You're All Gay

    The English language is in a beautiful state of flux. Words change, they alter, they evolve. The word 'gay', for example, used to be an adjective to mean 'happy' or 'carefree'. Then it became a noun for men who liked colours before it finally settled into today's position as a contemptuous word...

    Lampard Leads The Way To Glory

    Chelsea 2-1 Everton Drogba, 21 Saha, 1 Lampard, 71 An FA Cup Final that began with the quickest goal of its history was secured with one of its best and could have been long remembered for one that wasn't even given. In the kind of sweltering heat that would have made Saturday afternoon on...

    Problems Mount Up For Rafa

    Where's the firepower now? Selling an unwanted Robbie Keane may have been embarrassing, but it was at least understandable. Not replacing him though? That could be a disaster. Liverpool are out of the FA Cup, but what about the league? As Fernando Torres limped away after 101 minutes of a...

    The Never Everton Story

    And so ends a miserable weekend for the more prosperous end of the Premier League. Wigan's narrow victory over a lacklustre Everton at the JJB Stadium meant that, along with every member of the big four failing to score, every team in the top ten failed to win. The victory drags Steve Bruce's...

  19. Iain O'Connell

    Just to confirm an earlier story : Iain O'Connell has been appointed as the new manager of Southern League Division One East strugglers Great Wakering Rovers. The one-time Southend United player, best known for his days with Dover Athletic and Margate - he won the Southern Premier title...
  20. Southend United 3 Thistle 1

    Southend United AFC carried on their winning way with a 3-1 win over Thistle. Goal Scorers for the Seniors were:Shane Leighton, Matthew Wahren and Tim Smith. If you wonder what the hell I am on about, Southend United AFC are a New Zealand football club. It's nice to see that a few people...
