poorly

  1. PS comments in the Echo

    Regarding PS's comments today, I don't think he understands the trouble we (fans) have had over these past couple of years, and when the team play so poorly, it's difficult to be positive. We pay our own money to follow the blues, they get paid and there is only so much a fan can take. We need...

    The worst day ive had since 1998

    Well i dont really know where to start. Yesterday was the worst day i have had since i got battered by thugs by liverpool street in 1998 and had a face like sloth (not much has changed ) and my arm was broken and resembled a piece of string. I was left wondering what was more painful...

    Pre-Match Thread Bradford City v Southend United 19:45 K.O

    So, the team have been ooop narf since Tuesday's spirited defeat at Wolves. They have trained at Port Vale and Huddersfield's training facilities and Sturrock has an almost fully fit squad to choose from. The only absentee will again be Mark Phillips who has a hamstring problem. It's time the...

    The new Karate Kid film.

    Has anyone seen this yet? This has to be one of the most unnecessary and poorly conceived remakes ever. How can you remake this without: Mr. Miyagi. Sensai John Kreese. Cobrai Kai. Joe 'Bean' Esposito. Also - Mr Miyagi would slap Jackie Chan rigid and throw him around like a rag doll.

    Referees Are Cowards

    Another year, another desperate attempt by the Football Association to regain some semblance of control over their sport. This week's announcement that managers will no longer be able to criticise referees before the game has even started is just the latest in a series of inadequate sticking...

    Lessons Learned?

    The season starts in less than a month. Have we learned nothing? Go back twelve months. No left back, Bailey and Clarke out of contract, Gower gone and little in the way of positive news regarding transfers. With the season approaching fast, and pretty much all of the pre-season games out of...

    Bafana Bafana Give Me The Horn

    South Africa 0-0 Iraq The nation of South Africa is ready for the World Cup but sadly it seems that their football team are still lagging behind. Ellis Park, a stadium better known for its connections to rugby, played host to a most disappointing game of football, but it didn't dampen the...

    Five From Five

    England 2-1 Ukraine Crouch, 29 Shevchenko, 74 Terry, 85 It was his strongest display of emotion so far. As the final whistle blew, Fabio Capello marched out of his technical area, raised his clenched fists to the sky and roared triumphantly. This was a far more impressive scoreline than it...

    Essex Senior League Derby - Southend Lords Of The Manor

    Not long back from Southchurch Arena from a superb local derby. Southend Manor 3-2 Hullbridge Sports. Hullbridge cruising it 2-0 up at half time. An early second half piledriver from 25 yards, though, swung the game. A poorly defended free kick left a free header in the six yard box for the...

    Brazil Are Crap

    Ecuador 1-1 Brazil Noboa, 89 Baptista, 73 One of the eternal joys of watching South American football is the sight of those famous yellow shirts buzzing around the pitch, flicking the ball to one another as if 30 yard first time passes were the easiest thing in the world. They play as...

    Next half a dozen games

    Looking ahead at the fixture list I think the next half a dozen games will really shape our season and they are a real tough collection, Scunthorpe (A), Bristol Rovers (A), Leeds (H), Colchester (H), Tranmere (A), Oldam (H). Thats 3 of the current top 5 and a derby thrown into the mix. I would...

    The Gathering Storm

    Imagine the padlocks clinking shut around the Shankly Gates, or the bailiffs moving in at Old Trafford. Imagine half the Premier League collapsing into administration and tumbling down into the lower leagues. According to reports this weekend, it's not as surreal a scenario as you might think...

    Fright Night For Scolari

    Hi all, apologies for the lack of these recently. Not been too well, so just been filing and then retiring back to my sick-sofa. Back now though with more ill thought-out, poorly constructed critiques of the rich and famous. And so without Freddy Adu.... If Manchester United's victory in...

    Stalemate at Stamford Bridge

    Apologies, it was such a rush to get this out in time that I forgot to SZ it! See if you can spot the ****-ups.... So near and yet so far. Manchester United came within ten minutes of ending Chelsea's extraordinary 85 game unbeaten run at Stamford Bridge, pegged back by that most unlikely of...

    The Excuse - Joke The wife came home early and found her husband in their bedroom making love to a very attractive young woman and was somewhat upset. 'You are a disrespectful pig!' she cried. 'How dare you do this to me -- a faithful wife, the mother of your children! I'm leaving you. I want...

    If we could defend dead balls...

    Another day of study leave and another stats thread. It has been well documented that Southend United just cannot defend from dead ball situations. The way I will do this is look at how many points we would have got if the goal from the set piece hadn't have been scored. So in games where we...

    The B.N.P.

    So, they have done extremely well again this year, coming 5th in the london Mayoral Vote. But do we really know the truth about the B.N.P? Have you actually read the manifesto and mission statements? Ok, so they are a bit far right of the middle, but they want the best for this country. In my...

    just got back...

    just got back, should have carved out more chances, swindon were sh ite, no atmosphere whatsoever, thought we weould **** it up at the end, both teams played fairly poorly, spent a good par of the second half at the bar behind the stand. Can anyone clear up what happened between barnard and...

    Feed back please.

    Hi all. I play for my local football team- Hadleigh Athletic, and have been writing match reports after the games. Ive always had a liking for writing, especially football reports. Just wondered if anyone would mind reading one of my reports and telling me if they think its any good. Its a bit...
