    I just spoke to The Goat...

    Just interviewed Shaun Goater on his new book. What a splendid chap he is. Efusive in his praise for Southend and Eastwood in particular, he's finishing off the PR work before heading back to Barbados to set up his own team. I believe that he's in Southend today and signing books, so...

    The latest coaching obsession

    Have you noticed the obsession all coaches now seem to have with pulling everyone back when defending a corner. This has now been added to Tilly's repertoire. He is not alone, I have only been to four of our games so far, but each and every team in those games has pulled every player back...
  3. A lack of concentration or height?

    Anyone else share my concerns about the lack of height in our side when defending set pieces. I know Peter Clarke and Barrett are both excellent players and give everything but Clarke is only 6ft and Barrett is about 5ft 11. Let's face it, unless they use Italian tactics by pulling a few...
  4. Col Ewe vs Southend - Match Report

    Match report from yesterday’s game. Collis – seemed very confident and was communicating well with the back four but had no chance with the goal which went in off the post from Guy’s excellent strike.  Collis’ handling was good throughout as was his distribution. Collis pulled off a fantastic...

    Proud to be British?

    Being British is about driving in a German car to an Irish pub for a Belgian beer, then travelling home, grabbing an Indian curry or a Turkish kebab on the way, to sit on Swedish furniture and watch American shows on a Japanese TV. And the most British thing of all? Suspicion of anything...
  6. New Driving Laws being enforced in England

    Due to the nature of the quality of driving in England a new scheme has been devised in order to identify poor drivers. From the middle of May 2006 those drivers who are seen:- -overtaking in dangerous places; -hovering within one inch of the car in front; -stopping sharply; -speeding in...
  7. Taylor comments

    Peter Taylor comments on pulling out of the race for the Charlton job: "I am very, very happy at Hull City and was never entirely convinced about leaving." Roughly translated means: "I had an interview but can see quite clearly there are a few ahead of me in the queue for the...
  8. Why do we make things so difficult !

    Same old Southend making us fans suffer. I'm 100% sure we will still go up - 2 points should be enough. I can't see Brentford pulling the 8 goal difference back on us. The next couple of games look interesting for both Col U and Brentford both playing teams near the bottom who will be...

    We are top of the league,

    1/Our team spirit is 2nd to none, 2/our work rate and commitment outstrips anyone in this division, 3/our keeper wins us games and we have 4/ Freddy Eastwood pulling us games out of the bag single handidly. When especially No.s 2 and 4 are missing as today, we look distinctly average and...
  10. Speaking of Crowds

    Did anyone catch Dick Marshall moaning in the Echo about Canvey only pulling in 500 for there home match vs Forest Green Sorry Marshall but this saturday Roots Hall there will be 18x that figure watching some decent football rather than a pointless kick & rush game down on the marsh, really...

    Matt The Shrimp's Curry Night

    Last Saturday ( 25th ) our beloved MtS had a curry and beers night in Southend as part of his impending marriage celebrations. The fact that SUFC won 3 nil at home and went 8 points clear at the top of League One also helped the beer flow.......... Here are some pics from that night...
  12. New stadium - PUBS?

    Pulling down the Rusty Bucket / Invisible Man looks like a bad idea in hindsight. Without an unwelcoming, locals pub in close proximity the Fossets Farm matchday experience is going to seem a bit sterile. That sort of reputation takes years to cultivate, it doesn't just happen overnight...
  13. Worst police

    After witnessing some dreadful behaviour from Englands Police over the years up and down the country, especially at football where they think they have a right too treat you like a second class citizen, i would have too go with Derbyshire. Been there 3 times and each time, they have been a...
  14. Michael Barrymore

    tw&t is my opinion. A narcissistic manipulative man who is well past any sell by date. Not even funny anyway, saying 'alwight', pulling funny faces and walking stupidly can be seen at any Butlins holiday camp and is hardly funny. People will say 'tortured...
  15. Southend -

    Southend top of the league!! Messages 1 - 8 of 8 Message 1 - posted by Papa_DAmour**, 47 Minutes Ago Get in you blues!! Three goals from defenders as well - even Sodje scored (!) what a great result for the Shrimpers! Looks like the other results were kind to...

    Well done!

    don't know how you do it but keep pulling decent results out of the bag. Don't agree with everything you do, who does?,but with your resources i take me hat off, we aint the best team by far but whatever you do keeps us in the fold,team spirit goes a long way!

    What is our Hardcore Support

    I mean the sort of die hards that will go everyweek. My old man used to say it was 3500 even for the worst games. Now we seem to be pulling 6000 even for a crappy game. But how much of it will drop. I reckon out LDV/ Cardiff jaunts have increased our core support by about 1000. Season Tickets...

    A cautionary note

    All last night and this morning I have had good old SUFC on the brain. The club are starting to move upwards with a momentum that, at present, looks difficult to stop. The boards are alive with positivity and vibrancy. Today is a good day to be a fan. Yet bubbling under the surface all is...
  19. today's game

    well done boys, good to see Lawson score his first league goal hopefully first of many, thought we played well in first half but the second half we let them play.  We didn't rush them like we did the first half.  Good to see us winning these games at home.  IMO the ref was good in the first...
  20. Jay Smith

    THE Blues Matchday magazine is getting bigger - 16 pages to be precise as we become what it is believed the first side outside of the Premier$hite to produce an 84 page programme week in week out. But not content with slapping in a few interviews here and there to fill the column inches...
