    OK, We got Sawyer, but he can't do it on his own

    I am pleased with the signing of Lee Sawyer, but would be disappointed if we don't see at least one additional face before the window closes. At the moment, I would shape the team around these players. Morris(?) ???, Mohsni, Barker, ??? Hall, Grant, Sawyer, ??? Sturrock/Corr, ??? In...
  3. Question Are you sure?

    Do we really need Fallon. Is he not much of the same? Pace should be a priority.

    In the hot-seat

    Seemingly responding to complaints that people can't connect and identify with the players, I notice the club has been running a little video item called "The hot seat". So far they've had Blair Sturrock and a bewigged Ryan Hall in the hot seat dishing the dirt on their colleagues. A couple of...
  5. 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...

    Cash coming our way soon!!

    Saw Liverpool v Newcastle Reserves last night , Southend got a few mentions as Michael Ngoo is the star man of the moment up there. The giant ex-shrimper youth player has forced himself into the reckoning with another quality performance, and often out muscled Sol Campbell and his pace + power...

    Help running the Great South Run

    Hi all, I have signed up to do the Great South Run on 24th October and due to a number of factors; changing job, playing other sport and above all...sheer lazyness, I have not done much training for it. So, I have basically 8 weeks to get myself in the right shape for the 10 mile run and...
  9. Who knows Daniel Peat?

    I ask as I have just read the 442 season preview for League 2. DP gave the 'fan's view' and proclaimed: 'Manager's popularity - not very popular seeing as he's replacing the legend that is ST. More popular than RM, but then who isn't'. 'Where will you finish - I'll take 22nd'. 442 comment -...
  10. Louis Soares from an Aldershot fan...

    Hello, Aldershot fan here. I was reading your forum after the game yesterday and saw a bit of talk about Louis Soares' debut and whether or not he's any good, so I thought you might appreciate the view of a fan who's been watching him for a few years. With the best will in the world, I was...

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

Despite the controversy, loving every bit of it... including that I am now receiving of air BBC Essex...

    Greek Tragedy For King Otto

    South Korea 2-0 Greece EURO 2004 SEEMS AN AWFULLY LONG TIME AGO It’s hard to believe that Greece ever caused the European superpowers such headaches. Granted, they were never blessed with a generation of superstars, but they always had their composure, their organisation and their ability to...

    England Flatter To Deceive

    NOTHING FOR ENGLAND TO SHOUT ABOUT Forget about the result, this was not a good night for England. Fabio Capello has much to ponder before he makes his final squad selection for the World Cup. A 3-1 victory over a side of Mexico’s quality is a fine result on paper, but the performance that went...

  16. Blackpool Must Remain Frugal While Aboard the Gravy Train

    The moment that the seasoned Brett Ormerod poked home Blackpool’s winner against Cardiff City in the 43rd minute will no doubt go down in the history of the club and town, but it stands to reason that the club now has an important decision to make in its history. Ian Holloway, the charismatic...
  17. Thrills, Spills and Unpaid Bills - The League One Review Part One

    So, another season bites the dust and it’s all over bar the fighting at the Wembley mud bath. As ever, ten months of football has served up more twists, turns and travesties than a Mail on Sunday honey trap and hopefully this should spread some light on the season just gone. Norwich Starting...

    Australia

    Australia Manager: Pim Verbeek Captain: Lucas Neill FIFA Ranking: 20 Group D Background: The Socceroos head to South Africa for their third World Cup, after failing to progress past the group stage in 1974 but returning 32 years later in Germany last time round. Thanks to a 3-1 victory over...
  19. The 30 Man Provisional Squad

    The usual inclusions, with the "surprises" of Bent, Dawson, A. Johnson, Huddlestone and... Jamie Carragher? Please God no, Carragher has been more than a few yards off the pace for a few years now and I couldn't bear the thought of watching him against the better wingers in the tournament. GK...
