    Alan McCormack appreciation thread

    Macca has reportedly rejected a contract extension I hear. IMO he is absolutely integral to any future success we may have, and would be devestated to see him sold on. With so many going out the door, we can now rebuild the midfield around Macca, and move onwards and upwards with that passion he...

    Manchester United v Chelsea Euro final

    They went into the last day of the league separated only by goal difference and when it came to the final of the biggest cup competition in the world, the margin between Manchester United and Chelsea was somehow even thinner. After 120 minutes of gruelling football that ebbed and flowed between...

    Goal of the season

    Peter Clarke can't win it, it took a huge deflection Bailey's at Millwall is the best goal i have ever witnessed, it was better than McCormack's at Preston http://www.echo-news.co.uk/sport/goaloftheseason/index.php

    Carlisle, the Irish, and a terrible hangover...

    Just back from the trip to Glasgow and Carlisle about an hour ago - Still absolutely buzzing from the result! First off, I'd like to say it was an absolute pleasure meeting those of you I bumped into and sat beside for the match. You, along with the masses that travelled up, are an absolutely...
  5. Ref Watch ... Northampton

    I promised you largely non-intervention refereeing from Grant Hegley on Tuesday and that's pretty much what we got. He didn't get everything right but he let the players get on with it with the minimum of input from him which worked well. Can't promise you the same for Saturday though with...

    'You'll Never Walk Alone'

    The parties went on long into the night. For the third time in four seasons, Liverpool were through to the final four of Europe's most prestigious competition. Rafa Benitez had asked and the Anfield faithful had provided. The old stadium was rocked on its foundations by the noisy supporters and...

  9. Hot Tips for Cheltenham ?

    Shame the FA could not have organised our fixture list a little better, two weeks later we could have had done the double of The Gold Cup at Prestbury Park. Anyone have any hot tips for Cheltenham NH Festival ?? Broughtons of Cheltenham are clients of my business [Bentley & Rolls Royce...

    Who would you like to see relegated from the CCC ??

    Must admit that I am finding it a bit difficult to decide who I want to see come down from the league above . A small part of me still hopes we could sneak back up there through the play-offs and therefore hopes that the 'weaker' sides somehow survive to give us a better chance of staying up...
  11. odd fans spotted

    know then for those of you watching southend away in the late 70s and 80s and travelling by train, you must have come across the strange man in glasses always seen with 2 massive bags sleeping in trains overnight, many an overnight trip was in a carriage with him and his bags. If my memory...

    The fbm report - Millwall

    Folks, As I'm not quite sure what time I'll get back tonight in order to post this on the front page, it is not fair to deny fbm his readership - or to deny you his pearls of wisdom - so here is the fbm report for the Millwall game, which will hopefully go up on the front page tonight. * * * *...
  13. Last time there were no replays in 4th round .....

    Barnsley won away 1-0, Preston won away 4-1 and Southend lost at home. The fourth round included New Brighton, Rhyl and Newport. We'd beaten Liverpool in the 3rd round to get to the 4th. We played Liverpool again (twice) the following year in the Cup. Just to take your mind off the comings...

    Daniel Nardiello

    I mentioned this guy in passing in another thread on here but thought I'd give it a topic of its own. Nardiello has been told he can find another club now that QPR are buying fantastic players, like Agyeman from Preston and is an out of favour Championship striker, which is the rumour that we...

    Game tonight

    When Leon got sent off I was hoping Tilson would bring on another striker. Instead he left Matt Harrold up front by himself, quite ineffective, as usual. We looked ok today, didnt help that Leon got himself sent off, although I am sure he was frustrated by the offside goal that I didnt see...
  19. Forest press

    HUNGRY TO PLAY ...AND WIN! 09:00 - 06 November 2007 Forest's promotion push will be fuelled by the squad's fierce appetite for success. That was the message today from skipper Ian Breckin, who admitted that in the past there were a few Reds players who were happy just to collect their pay...
  20. Do Southend always choke at the Hall -

    chokers ? given the chance to go top x 2 - last season every opportunity to get the points to beat the drop - and a few before that - is it the tense nervous atmosphere on big game days or is it the presnece of so many moaners and groaners or is it because Sir Steve gets all wound up ?
