    Which FL side would you twin us with.

    In the same way Southend is twinned with Sopot in Poland what football league side do you think has most closely matched us in terms of club size, achievements etc etc. I am really stuggling on this one as I think we are bigger than a lot of the smaller clubs but not as big as say the likes of...

    Lets hope we can learn from this season

    Come on lads , in all fairness the fact that we have been relegated (well nearly anyway)has come as no suprise to myself , this season, we have too small of a squad , not enough quailty and a rather inexperienced manager ( especially at this level). The thing that has wound me up and probably...

    For those that go to The Pink Toothbrush

    Not sure if you are aware, but a month ago my brother was challenged to wear his girlfriends pink PVC hotpants for a shift behind the bar. He agreed if people paid him, with the mony going to Break Through cancer which is a charity our Aunt supported before passing away earlier this year. He...

  4. Sheffield Wednesday - The Shrimper Truth - Pride, passion and cruelty.

    If anyone ever doubted SUFC belong in this League they were not at horrible Hillsboro where the pride and passion of the support at the away end was matched on the pitch by a dogged and determined SUFC overcoming disaster to dominate another nasty set of Championship no-ones. Despite gifting...

    Friday night vs. Saturday afternoon

    I personally felt that last night underlined once again that evening matches under floodlights generate by far the better atmospheres. The Norwich, Manure and QPR games have all been electric this season - I'm sure that the performances have had more than a little to do with it but there's still...

    Southend vs Southampton

    BATTLING BLUES GET WIN AT LAST What a difference a week makes. Morale and spirit hit a new low after last Saturday's abject performance against a very ordinary Wolves side. The local press ran a feature through the week revolving around the supporters views on what had gone wrong. Some -...

  7. Steve Bennett

    I hate it when excuses are made for a team,especially after losing 3-0, but we were more than equal to Col******r today and was done over by inadequate refereeing. We matched them and it could have gone either way before the sendings off. I was thinking in the first half how poor the ref was...

    Plymouth preview

    “Can we play you every week” used to be the chant when Southend played Plymouth. During the 1990s, the Shrimpers beat the Pilgrims on seven consecutive occasions, whilst from 1957 to 2001, the Pilgrims were winless at Roots Hall. That victory for Plymouth – a 1-0 win courtesy of a Micky Evans...

  9. Eastwood vs Nugent

    I'd say it was a stalemate. Both looked very good though. I hadn't seen much of Nugent before today but he did a few nice things, including that very impressive first-time lob early on which hit the roof of the net. Eastwood matched him though when he rattled the crossbar with a shot...

    Outstanding performances...

    What a superb performance from the guys today - especially in the 2nd half when we seemed to settle into the very impressive surroundings and realise that WBA were not comfortable being attacked. We remarked after 5 mins or so of the 2nd half that this is exactly what was needed - we came out...

    Spirit and Character

    So thats two late equalisers in a week, one of which from a game that looked lost (Norwich). By all accounts today, from speaking to my old man who went, we were excellent and more than matched an Albion side containing the likes of Phillips, Gera, Ellington etc. It just goes to show that...

    So how did we handle the step-up in class and what have we learned for the season ahead? The step-up ------------ Just like last season, the step up from one division to the next was instantly apparent and, while Stoke are far from being one of the better "footballing" sides we'll...

    What a day!

    Looks like most of us were taking a promotion party to much for granted and look what happened. We, as Southend United fans, should have known better really. We NEVER do things the easy way, do we. Most of the season with just 2 defeats at home and suddenly it's 2 home defeats on the trot...

    "Not responsible for them"

    Once more, the powers that be were on hand to stop people standing up within the ground. Whilst we all appreciate the fact that the ground is an all seater stadium and we should all be sitting down, the "lets look for easy targets" section of the stewards did their normal thing. I sit...

    1-0 down at halfo. I was sitting right at the back of Family Stand. 2nd half. There appeared a curly haired bloke who I thought was one of the Proclaimers. Inebriated and well up for it, he stood at the back and didn't stop supporting the Blooz, singing every dodgy song, cheering every...
