    City's Glaring Vie-error

    When Kenny Dalglish ruled the roost at Anfield, Liverpool were the dominant force in English football. He maintained their superiority during his tenure with a very simple transfer philosophy, and it's something that Manchester City would do well to emulate. 'Always be sure to sign better...
  2. The French Re-Vieira

    Roberto Mancini must be feeling in a charitable mood… offering to re-home an aged war-dog like Patrick Vieira certainly caught a few people off guard. The France captain spent the summer being linked with a return to Arsenal, and then August being touted as a shock move for Redknapp’s Spurs in...

    transfer window

    am I right in thinking the window opens on the first? if so we could have some new faces by the time wallsall come to town, I know we getting M'voto back but will we get others, can we afford any? I think a left back older than 12 is a must, some pace up top with barney and a winger would be my...

    A message...........

    to the Southend United players out there on the pitch today and Tilly and Brush. Anyone that knows me will tell you I'm not usually one to post critical comments and apportion blame but tonight I'm going to make an exception. Firstly, the players. You let us down today. You let the club down...

    Sean Morrison

    One word - Immense..... What a defender he could be. I think he is superb. Good in the air, calm under pressure, great passer of the ball. Think his lack of pace will stop him making the top levels but could be a class act at this level. I would give my nads to swap him for Revell...
  6. Francis Laurent

    Just like last week Laurent was magnificent today, on this form I'd be seriously worried we could lose him soon. Given that he is by far the most creative player we have in what is mainly a "workmanlike" team I'd say he's vital. Outrageous skill and pace with good vision and decent delivery too...

    Andy Ansah

    Picked this up off the net.....quite a good read for those who remember the legends of the early 90's... Andy Ansah’s wing wizardry for Southend United between 1990 and 1996 helped propel the club into the upper echelons of English football, as the Shrimpers bagged back-to-back promotions from...

    Memory Lane Episode No 8 Season 1931-32

    This Episode was printed in the Southend v Gillingham programme. Extracts from "The Forgotten Years of the Kursaal" by Peter William Baker No. 8 THE UNBEATEN RUN JUST KEEPS ON GOING Southend the only unbeaten club in the Football League having won eight and drawn five of their thirteen...

    4 -5 -1 ( or 4 -2 -3 -1) while the squad is thin

    Given our currently limited resources and our weak defence, anyone see any merit in changing the formation round to protect the back four more? For example, Macca 7/10 and Christophe could take the defensive role in front of the back four allowing Moussa to move into a central forward midfield...

    Post-Match Thread and Ratings Tranmere Rovers 2-0 Southend United

    No-one bothered? Thought I'd start it as I'm likely first one up this morning - after just an hour and a half's sleep and getting in at 2.40! Huge disappointment, the team that played Friday was just completely absent for the first half, and some of them for the second too. It was like...
  11. Ref Watch .... Webb at Tranmere

    .... no not Howard Webb. After the correctly predicted excesses of Darren Deadman, the man in charge on Tuesday is David Webb of County Durham. (Just a matter of days after we had Chris Powell on 4th official duty at Yeovil). Not much to say about Mr Webb, a young official in his second...

    Memory Lane Episode No 7 Season 1931-32

    Here's Episode No. 7 of Season 1931-32 as was printed in the Southend v Bristol Rovers programme, I hope I haven't overdosed you all. Extracts from "The Forgotten Years of the Kursaal" by Peter William Baker No. 7 THE BIGGEST ATTRACTION IN THE THIRD DIVISION Record gates at Clapton Orient...
  13. Five Star Pac Man Reigns Supreme.

    If ever there was any doubt regarding Manny Pacquiao's claim to the pound-for-pound crown, it was swept away with a simply stunning performance last night. The Phillipino, dubbed Pac Man, stormed to a win over the supremely talented Miguel Cotto and, in doing so, claimed his fifth world title...

    Harry Brown

    Saw the new Michael Caine film 'Harry Brown' last night with the wife. What a film, and I cannot recommend it highly enough to any of you that are looking for something to watch this weekend. Basically, the film tells the tale of Brown, who turns vigilante when an old friend of his is murdered...
  15. Trescothick Suffers Groundhog Day Again

    The news that Marcus Trescothick failed to overcome his demons to compete properly in the Champions League Twenty20 Trophy is desperately sad, but all the more tragic is how predictable this was. Trescothick is essential to any hopes of success Somerset harboured this Summer and went to great...

    Lee Sawyer

    Now I know the majority on here, and the majority that went to Brentford and the majority that sit around me in East Reds rate Lee Sawyer highly but last night, in the spell that Sawyer had on the pitch, he should exactly why he should be one of the first names on the team sheet, and one of the...

    Dwight Yorke - Born to Score

    BORN TO SCORE? What would you do if you were a professional footballer? How would you act? I know what you're going to say, you're going to say the same as me. You're going to say that you'd give it everything. You're going to say that you'd be tee-total, that you'd train hard, that you'd...
  18. Arise, Sir Ryan?

    Every broadcast of a United game at the moment, mainly because of his surge in form, focuses on the same banner that pleads for The Queen to grant Ryan Giggs a knighthood. Personally, I love Giggsy. As a fellow left-footer, I grew up watching him and I don't think there's been a better British...
  19. Frustrated

    Tilly will always have my utmost respect for the fantastic job he has done at Southend United, I love the guy - he's a legend. I'd also love to see him stay here for many, many years to come, it would take an awful lot for my feelings to change on that score. However I'm frustrated at the...
  20. the reason its all gone pear shaped .....

    Roy O Donavan not his fault probably a decent guy but can't play football at this level at the moment - so we have only 10 men - and to help him out we try and knock forward for flick ons for his pace = get rid - send him back - he is destroying the team, Barnards game and our season =
