    Toulouse jolly.......match nul!

    TOULOUSE v LILLE The Stadium 13th MAY 2009 Bid farewell to The Ranger and Boo Boo, came down the Cagire and off, en route for Toulouse, with enough goodies to keep me going for the day. Had arranged to meet my SZ colleague outside Mac Do, on the Place du Capitole, in the centre of...

    (interesting stuff) Firm Foundations Firm Foundations Southend United may have faced a rare drama-free conclusion to the campaign last weekend, but according to assistant manager Paul Brush, this could yet prove a definitive season in the club’s modern era. Victory over relegated Cheltenham...

    Southend should give Junior Dadson a trial in Pre Season this summer

    He is an left wingers (can use either feet and cross the ball perfect with both foot, on a difficult pitch) - I thought to watch East Thurrock Vs Aveley last weekend for an match as an natural, which Aveley won 3-2 - Aveley's Junior Dadson impressed me loads, he is much better than Scannell and...

    Another Rebel Twenty20 League?

    It seems as if there may be another unsanctioned Twenty20 competition being put together, this time in New York. The ICC have released a statement warning Cricketers not to take part, or risk sanctions such as those who appeared in the original rebel league, the Indian Cricket League. This...
  5. Simon Francis

    Personally I'd regard him as our best option on the right of midfield, as Betsy is shocking. He has skill and a sweet right foot if not much pace. An intelligent player who needs confidence more than most. He'd be the first name on my team sheet. Hope he's an auto first choice (wherever he...

    Post-Match Thread and Ratings Southend United 0-2 Mk Dons

    So, the bubble has burst as i am sure most but the fanatical on here realised it most likely would. This game showed up our woefull inadaquicies across the whole side and whilst the loanees, as well as probably clarke too, start pondering next season with thier respective sides it will be no...

    No More 4-4-2!

    Fabio Capello has much to ponder. Though certain sections of the UK press appear to have an unhealthy obsession with an ageing bit-part midfielder and his quest for caps, the real question mark hangs over the structure of the England team. Capello has said that he will be taking this evening's...

    Post-Match Thread and Ratings Swindon 3-0 Southend United

    A game which started so promisingly for us turned into a nightmare. In front of just over 6000, with a fair few southend fans, a bright start was cut short when ex southend loanee kanu calmly placed the ball beyond mildy, returning from injury, after a swift counter attack with their number 11...

    Villa Fans Need A Reality Check

    The Premier League table has an eerily familiar look, doesn't it? In amongst the excitement of Liverpool's emphatic victory at Old Trafford and the discovery of stardust in the boots of Andrey Arshavin, this was the weekend when Aston Villa finally dipped out of the top four. There can't be many...

    Post-Match Thread and Ratings Hereford United 0-1 Southend United

    Just back from Hereford. Didnt think we would edge it once Laurent missed that chance, but we certainly got stronger as the match went on and probably just deserved it, although the penalty was right in front of me, and I would have been pretty peeved to have that given against us. I reckon he...

    On a Roll

    What a 2009 we are having , it seems we now have a well balanced team with some pace , fight , quality and belief . Having questioned Tillys some what disasterous start to this season it seems that he has finally getting together a team capable of going to teams backyards and grinding out...

    Theo Robinson

    Am i alone on here in thinking Robinson is slighty, maybe, just a little incy-wincy bit crap? He never looks to pass when the pass is on. He always tries to find a way to shoot to the detriment of others in a much better position. His control leaves alot to be desired and he can't hit a cow's...

    Gary Hooper-Guardian Scouting report

    Have to admit I liked Hoops as a player for us though I never thought he'd make the grade any higher than League 1 or 2.The valuation here is pretty generous too I feel. <League OneScouting report: Gary Hooper, Scunthorpe United The 20-year-old Iron forward has a good touch and can play at...

    Why we need Johnny Herd

    In a game like last night he would have been making dangerous runs forward, Adam tried but doesn't have the pace, and worry the defence with his runs and would have set up a few chances with his throw-ins. In my opinion you shouldn't be dropped if your playing well and Johnny was playing well...

    Freedman Overated

    simple. dougie is overrated. despite the odd flick and occasional through ball he does not do a lot. fair enough, nice pass to set up betsy and scored a nice goal 2 weeks ago, but he is simply past it. no commitment, no passion. a true lazy player, yet he is one of the top wage earners at the...

    Long Way To Go

    There's a long way to go yet. After an almost flawless first year in charge, Fabio Capello was brought crashing down to earth in Seville by a breath-taking Spanish side who taught him a hard lesson in what it takes to win international honours. England kept pace with the European Champions for...

    England Expects - And That's No Bad Thing

    If his first year was all about getting back to basics, Fabio Capello's second will be spent rebuilding England's tattered reputation. European football fans still laugh at the 'superpower' nation that couldn't even qualify for Euro08, but they will laugh no longer if Spain are vanquished in...
  20. Fight

    There was so much more fight ,passion and commitment from the whole team yesterday, it was brilliant to see. Macca said that everyone would have to give an extra 15% or more to get us climbing back up the table, and they did. Also great to see the return to top form and confidence of Francis...
