    Busted & An Apology

    Today saw the demise of Hector of the House. After a fun filled month he finally got caught and had his account banned and deleted. I am sure that most of you had sussed out who he was but I feel I owe an apology to the mods and owners of the board. Hector was set up originally for a wind-up...
  2. Team Formation for Tuesday

    With recent injuries, a few new loan players and a promising youth player I wonder how the team will line up against Forest? I'm going for the following: - Flavs Francis Barrett Clarke Mulgrew Black Gower Bailey Scannell Walker Barnard/Kanu SUBS: Collis, Zoltan, Moussa, Hunt...
  3. what Leeds think of us -

    View GalleryA RUN-DOWN on Leeds United's opponents tonight The Gaffer Steve Tilson. Tilson steered the Shrimpers from League Two to the Championship in two seasons, but they have not recovered quickly from their relegation last season. Tilson was forced to part with striker Freddy Eastwood and...
  4. Fabio it is then...

    Capello looks set to the get the job by the end of tomorrow, being paid anything between £4m and £6m a year after giving an extremely impressive interview according to almost every media outlet this morning. Whilst i'd probably prefer the FA to interview more candidates and deliberate further...

    Is football really just a game - Or is it more than that.

    Harping back to something the Mrs said last week when she commented after our defeat against the scum that are Brighton "Dont worry its only a game". Now I hate the comment as its not only a game. A game is the lads and I playing frisbie on the beach or seeing who can drink the most. Southend...

    End of Season Report (Slightly early version)

    Just thought I would cast my eye over the playing squad from this year and give my views. Flahaven - An OK season from the wee one, if a little inconsistant. Has made a number of uncharataristic mistakes (Wolves away, Barnsley home, Hull away), however has also put in some blinding...

    The fbm view and ratings - Birmingham

    BATTLING BLUES PUT BRUM OUT TO SEED Southend pulled off one of the results of the season by deservedly claiming all three points on the sponge that is now the St Andrews pitch. On an all too rare fbm awayday, the result rounded off a decent visit to England's second city. Travelling up in the...
  9. What it takes to stay up!

    Lest look at the situatio and try and be positive. After all Macclesfield were in a similar position only a few weeks ago and have got it on track. For me we are not playing at all bad we still try to pass our way to goal and are no way the the shambles of a side we were when we was relegated...

    Harrold & Bradbury

    Sorry folks, I try and be positive, but with Harrold & Bradbury in the side we will not stand a chance in any league. Ever. I do feel sorry for Bradbury - he does try, seems a nice bloke, and has some positional sense, its just that he is so so slow he can never quite get to where he wants...
  11. Bradbury

    During the whole game last night a number of people were continually criticising Bradbury. They seem to forget to mention that our recent improvement has come with him returned to fitness and that Freddy clearly plays better him beside him. Whilst his goalscoring ability has to be questioned his...

    Spurs vs Southend

    BRAVE BLUES BUCKLE AS CUP RUN ENDS Southend’s wonderful Carling Cup adventure ended at White Hart Lane tonight, but they can be immensely proud of the performance they put in against the Premierships in-form team. Tottenham had won their previous 10 home games and had dented Manchester...
  13. wolves corners

    why the f%ck does freddy and bradbury go back to defend i dont think we had a player out side our own box how the f%ck can you clear your lines with no outlet.
  14. JCR

    Brilliant last night. Yeah I know he is frustrating and often there's no end product, but he gives us and outlet on the right and that takes the pressure of the defence. He also works back well and helps out the defence. He has to start if fit. We've definitely missed him while he was...

    AGAINST ALL ODDS Years ago, when Southend were regularly plumbing the depths of the division now known as league 2, I used to get some funny looks when people found out I was a season ticket holder at Roots Hall.  “What on earth for?” they used to quip, “Surely you must play ‘Spot the Crowd’...

    Objective opinion of JCR...

    Seems so many people are quick to have a pop at JCR - so personal feeling aside, lets discuss him from a footballing point-of-view. PROs 1) He is very quick - one thing defenders hate, hence they will stand off him and allow him room. 2) His workrate. Up and down the pitch, JCR never shirks...

    Good performance today overall, lacked alot in the air today though but they were alot more physical side than most with their presence. Anyhow my ratings for the players today : Flahavan : 8 : Solid performance again from Flahavan showed safe hands each time the ball was in the danger area...

    Away Shirts / Sponsors shirts fiasco

    spoke to Brian Wheeler last night - because some players threw their home shirts into the crowd at Swansea we were forced to wear a brand new away strip for the Bristol match. The Club has tried every possible outlet to obtain a new batch of home shirts for the sponsors only to be told by Nike...

    Due to formatting problems the report isn't yet on the front page so here it is BLUES LAND TITLE IN ESSEX ONE-TWO The two Essex sides defied all the odds in League One by claiming both automatic promotion spots – with the Super Shrimpers deservedly landing the title. In fact, it was...

    NICE SCORE, SHAME ABOUT THE GAME Southend returned to the top of league one tonight after a professional but spluttering display against a team surely destined for league 2 if not extinction. The three points were, to be honest, courtesy of a first half mugging and Rotherhams total ineptitude...
