    The Stiffs at Ipswich

    Well, not a patch on the 5-4 game last year and in many ways it was all a bit tame. They scored either side of the half time break, the second being from the spot after Lokando was sent off (deservedly really, though as it was only the stiffs the ref could maybe have bben lenient as it then...
  2. what odds freedman as next manager of southend???

    with my crystal ball, i can see freedman knocking in a few goals becoming a cult hero over the next 2 years and with all the'good talking' he has been doing lately setting himself up nicely for the hot seat. what do you reckon???

    Life In The A-League

    Before I headed off to Oz I said I'd write a regular blog about what it's like supporting a team on the other side of the world. Here is my first effort by way of an introduction to the Queensland Roar - Queensland Roar vs Adelaide United – 24th August 2008 Come On! Imagine this scenario...

    Bailey replacement - Lee Frecklington?

    Right chaps - Bailey has gone, there's no point crying about it, we need to deal with it fast as on last night's showing Moussa and Grant is not a Central Midfield pairing to strike terror into most League 1 sides. I am assuming that Ron may be prepared to splash a little cash on the...

    Fantastic,can't wait for a new season!

    You all thought it would be another shambles.Watching Hooper run into space past the last man,rushing towards the goal only to see the ball bounce off his knee and roll out:(Then he goes out on loan and can't stop scoring,typical! Well,looks like he's off. Another one who we won't have to endure...

    Reserve League Play-Off Final

    Liverpool's senior side may not picked up any silverware this year, but on Wednesday night at Anfield, Gary Ablett's reserve team were on hand to show them how it's done. Having won their regional divisional with room to spare, the youngsters were sent out to face Aston Villa's second string for...

  10. Play Offs here we come

    Why is everyone so downhearted on here after todays defeat (the first in 14 games)? If I had told you on Jan 1st that we would have been comfortably in the play offs, you would have bitten both my arms off. Lets get right behind the blues next week as a win would set us up nicely for the play...

  16. Ref Watch .... Yeovil

    Southend will make their 4th visit to Huish Park having had a player sent off in each of their 3 previous trips (Jenkins, Maher and Barrett). If I were looking for a referee to break that sequence, I wouldn't necessarily pick Roger East. He will be our 4th consecutive "first year" referee when...

    I am so angry with Tilson on three counts of very poor judgement!

    Letting goal machine Hooper out, unforgivable! Replacing Hammel with a bloke that can't defend, Mulgrew, unforgivable! Bringing in a target man that can't jump, not mobile and a poor first touch, Revell, unforgivable! 3 Blatant managerial mistakes that will spoil our season in a crap league...

    Capello - Will He Be Allowed To Win?

    Judging by the amount of hastily cobbled together puns on Fabio Capello's name in this morning's British tabloids, it now seems certain that the former Real Madrid boss will be named as the new England manager by the time you read this. Either that, or the Football Association's press officer...

    I blame Leon

    Everyone's carrying on about Matty Harrold and caning him for not scoring whilst forgetting the real reason behind our present fall down the table. Wasn't it that Sheff Wed loan lad that got himself disgracefully sent off against a team that would and did destroy us if we had to go down to 10...
