    Sir Bobby Robson

    a real shame but it seems to have been on the cards for a while. From the Sun website. ----------- BOBBY ROBSON has won countless battles during a career which has earned him a permanent place in the nation’s hearts. But his latest fight, sadly, will be his last. English football’s favourite...

    What's your matchday routine?

    As per the title really. What do you usually get up to on the day of a home Saturday fixture? My pattern is as follows: Usually finish work at 2am on Saturday morning, pack and get ready to leave for airport at 4.30 am. Perhaps set up the official match thread on here nice and early...

    If you're depressed about not being promoted.

    If your a bit depressed about not being popmoted, just remember that over the last thirty six years we have been promoted eight times in 1971-72 1977-78 1980-81 1986-87 1989-90 1990-91 2004-05 and 2005-06. If that doesn't help think what it's like being a Rochdale fan. Granted they...

    Chelsea

    You would think that, as the single most important match of their history looms up on the horizon, Chelsea might try to put a lid on the gossip and focus on the football, but nothing is ever that simple at Stamford Bridge. Faced with a choice of either (a) clarifying Avram Grant’s future or (b)...

    Justine Henin Retires

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/tennis/7399963.stm Amazing to retire at 25. Seven Grand Slams and won everything but Wimbledon and without a doubt one of the best of the modern era without reaching the heights of Steffi, Martina etc.

    What if we dont go up?

    Chatting to my dad today about the upcoming play offs and all we could talk about was wembley this and wembley that. I stopped the conversation and pointed out that we are not there yet and we may not even get to the final let alone win promotion. This is a real possibility people. If we...
  9. Today's Times - Southend Report

    Good report on our game in today's Times. Lots of compliments about us: - a combative and organised team - much to admire in Tilson's team - a defence of four powerful no-nonsense six-footers (maybe a bit generous to AB's height I think!) - Lee Barnard a genuine bargain Only spoiled slightly by...

    Games to Celebrate

    For those who memories are short this is what happened just under a year ago: The game started and unbelievably we took the lead after only 13 minutes, we should have made it two but Southampton pulled it level before half time. Almost before the second half got under way we found ourselves 1-2...

  12. Are our players as fit as they should be?

    MOTHERWELL gaffer Mark McGhee has promised his hard working squad a mid-season break abroad but not until they've clinched a top-six finish. With their fixture congestion easing McGhee says his men deserve the trip for reaching third place eight games before the split. He said: "When we're no...
