  1. Team selection

    First of all it's not Sturrock's fault that his squad is crap given everything that happened during the summer but, having seen almost every game this season, my observations - purely on the football side - are: We should stick to 4:4:2 for the rest of the season so that our players know what...

  2. Post-Match Thread and Ratings Southend United 1-1 Stockport County

    What a game!!! This is my first post... Listening to 'Player,' for my first live game after 15 years of being a Southend supporter... I am sitting in Newman a mining town in Western Australia... Despite the controversy, loving every bit of it... including that I am now receiving of air BBC Essex...

    In praise of ugly football

    You know what, I'd hate it if every team at the World Cup played Brazilian style football. The joy of a a tournament is the different styles and approaches to the game. Uruguay last night were a case in point, they are a part of the fabric of the sport. Also the performance that New Zealand put...

    Who would be YOUR goat?

    Tilson seems to like bringing in the "has-beens" with a season or two left in them, and for the most part it has worked.....a'la Goater, to a lesser extent Freedman (who I maintain was a superb acquisition at the beginning but form took a continuos downward turn), and to an even more lesser...

    Could this be a blessing in disguise?

    Thinking albeit optimistically, I wonder if in a years time we will look back at this relegation as a blessing in disguise? Lets think about it rationally. We clear out a few players that are the higher earners and bring in some players that are hungry to prove themselves on lesser wages. Maybe...

  6. Player Abilities

    Descriptions of the new Player Abilities are up. Have to love the last one... As promised here are some more details about the abilities that your players will perhaps soon be allocated. Note that there is a slight change in the percentage probability of your players having these abilities to...

    Question Which players have the talent and commitment to save us from relegation ?

    All very well blaming Ronnie Martini for being late with the wages and Tilly for a lack of tactical nouse/motivation but who from the current squad is going to display the qualities to rise above the difficulties and save us from dropping into the abyss? Last season Dorian Dervitte and to a...

    Sick of Steve Tilson stick.

    I am getting so ****ing sick of the stick Steve Tilson is getting. I think its about time some people remember what Southends favourite son has done for this club x2 promotions x2 cup final visits x1 play off final Plus holding our own against Man United and Chelsea. Plus 239 apperances for...

    Who goes? YOU decide

    As I've posted in another thread, if either Tilson or Martin had to got TODAY, who would you prefer - considering all the implications that would go with their leaving would mean, I dont just mean they vanished off the face of the earth and everything would be rosey. TILSON: Legend at the club...

    City's Glaring Vie-error

    When Kenny Dalglish ruled the roost at Anfield, Liverpool were the dominant force in English football. He maintained their superiority during his tenure with a very simple transfer philosophy, and it's something that Manchester City would do well to emulate. 'Always be sure to sign better...

  12. Bobby Moore & Vic Jobson

    Random find from the Observer about our one time manager and England legend Bobby Moore. Apologies if this has been posted before but it's interesting IMO. History will always consider Moore a managerial failure, and his record at Southend was unimpressive: relegated to the Fourth Division in...

    Transfer deadline day is one of the most exciting of the season and, with the window slamming shut right on our deadline, you're not going to miss a thing. We told Iain Macintosh to power up his Blackberry, stay tuned to the news and scour the internet for rumours. Here's how his day panned...

  16. Flintoff Fit to Return to the Scene of the Crime

    A criminal always returns to the scene of the crime. Jack the Ripper never strayed too far from Whitechapel, and England wept with joy at the news that Andrew Flintoff will be fit to return to Edgbaston, the scene of his slaughter of eleven Australians in August 2005. That fateful game four...

    The 39th Shame

    I've found an interesting anomaly on the official Premier League website. Now, admittedly I'm playing fast and loose with the definition of the word 'interesting', but stick with me on this. When you click 'contact us', instead of bringing up the address of the organisation, it gives you a...
