    Any good this week?! I'll just say my 17 yo Tapp is coming along very very nicely! :birthday:

    Dave What's the chances of getting 'Kung-fu Fighting' by Carl Douglas on the PA before the teams come out tonight? Should warm up Roots Hall nicely!!

    The Maths

    The difference is astonishing. If you consider 50 as the magic number here's a quick comparison: 8/12/06: P21 W2 D6 L13 F16 A38 GD-22 Pts12 38 points required from 25 games so W11 D5 L9 or W10 D8 L7 30/1/07: P30 W6 D9 L15 F26 A47 GD-21 Pts27 23 points required from 16 games so W6 D5 L5 or W5...

    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 -...

    Reserves Match Report - SUFC 3 LTFC 1

    Was it the unseasonally warm weather or was it the fact that I'd only recently found out that STHs get into reserves games for nothing ? It matters not. The important thing is that after 33 years of patiently and quietly watching the best team in the world I finally broke my duck to watch my...
  6. CS J

    Match Report on CS J: Who honestly can stand up and say he is a born Southend Supporter... come on? Unless we drop him for the next game the players will stuggle big time... and I mean big time. He seems to offer something on the Right Wing, including considerable width, but he clearly...

    Spinner in the Western Mail

    They mentioned on Five Live this morning that there was an interview with Spinner in the Western Mail this morning, about the fact that it's hard being an English player in Wales. And they weren't making it up - here's the story: Spinner: Being an English player in Wales is...
  8. why oh why oh..........

    Having returned from Leicester, I have to say that I feel somewhat disheartened. I keep telling myself to put things in perspective, that there is little disgrace in a one nil defeat away at Leicester but it was the manner in which we seemed to lose our way that concerns me most. I would wager...
  9. Two holes views

    Well it was a strange game really. We played really well in patches and a little bit shoddy in patches. For me we had an excellent first half in which i thought that bradbury and JCR were immense. Second half tilly made some surprising substitutions with both JCR and Eastwood coming off for non...

    Good news for us

    Not that I ever thought he would. Simpson to join Preston This should clear the way for Phil Parkinson to join Hull - in just over a week's time when he, and Peter Heard, return from holiday (which would fit into the timescales quoted by Adam Pearson quite nicely)...
  11. Tilson (and maybe Freddy) signing in Bas Vegas

    Don't worry, just had a call from the wife to say that the autograph shop in Basildon near Asda is having a Steve Tilson signing session between 10am to 1pm Saturday. Freddy may also be there, that has to be confirmed. For those of you who don't go to Basildon on a regular basis, this...

    The press - for those who are interested

    Sunday Mirror had a tiny article, instead concentrating on those monkeys down the road News of the World on the other hand had a big article, nicely written, mostly concentrating on the Goats final day 'With a lump in his throat, he said "This is one of the most treasured memories...
  13. Just Got Back

    after a action packed weekend away in nottingham i have finally arrived back in essex and after missing the game saturday (did i drown my sorrows saturday night!!!) i have popped on here to see what evryone made of the game and from i what i gather it was a nervous performance from...

    Thats why were top the league!

    Just got back from Barnsley - great fighting performance from the team against a very rugged (i.e. dirty) Barnsley. We started OK, though Barnsley had the better of it. After the opening exchanges, Gower had a shot that the keeper fumbled onto the post and it looked like we may be getting a...

    Promotion from Div VI ?

    As I'm resigned to at least two more seasons in my division I'd like to ask those that have been promoted to Div V how many stars they averaged each week (as a defence trainer hatstats doesn't work as a comparison). I'm averaging around 35 stars which is still only good enough...

    HT Training

    Having written off any chance of promotion after just two games and struggling to work out how to better last season's 4th spot, at last something to cheer me up. Four defensive pops this week: 18 yo to Excellent 19 yo to Formidable 20 yo to Formidable 21 yo to Formidable and onto the...

  19. Battrick

    Am nicely poised at 246-0 off 40 overs. Am hoping Falk might become my first double centurion. He's 10 overs to get another 55 runs. How's everyone else faring?

    Battrick

    86-0 from 14 overs. That'll do nicely!
