    One to start the weekend (week 17)

    ah, this is a goodun this week, i promise you, infact, also a bit of a pole. This weeks 12stw takes us back to 1992, and to that great era. With its classic feel, combined with unusual lyrics, this track set the chart on fire, and is one of those songs that defines the era. Of course, like a...

    One to start the weekend (week V)

    Blimey, had to search high and low for the video to this weeks one (well, the long and short is that it isnt on youtube!) Once again, we go back to 1993, and a number 2 hit for the Urban Cookie Collective (although Pulse8 records incorrectly printed on the spine of the CD single release Urban...

    Southend United - How far have we come? Part 4

    “It was only four years ago that this club was losing £2.3m a season,” Ron Martin enthused as he published the accounts for the financial year ending July 2002 which showed that Southend United has lost “just” £707,665, the fourth year in succession that the club had reduced its losses. It was a...

    Southend United - How far have we come? Part 1

    Cast your mind back almost ten years; could you honestly see us reaching this pivotal moment in the history of Southend United? Back in 1998 the football club was skint; it couldn't pay its players, it couldn't pay its creditors, it couldn't pay the Inland Revenue; the future was so bleak that...

    Accept the inevitable

    I'm strangely calm and not at all worried about being bottom of the pile. We're clearly not good enough for this division and we either underinvested or invested in the wrong players at the start of the season. I've accepted that so I'm now going to enjoy the next few months of: a) Being in...

    League Cup QF

    Can't believe no one has asked this question yet... but who would people like to play, and where, in the next round of the Carling Cup? Since I'm only allowed to put up ten choices, I've had to be a little bit selective about the options I've offered... so I've presumed...

    The fbm view and ratings

    AGAINST ALL ODDS Years ago, when Southend were regularly plumbing the depths of the division now known as league 2, I used to get some funny looks when people found out I was a season ticket holder at Roots Hall.  “What on earth for?” they used to quip, “Surely you must play ‘Spot the Crowd’...

    S*it Story....

    If this was me, I think I'd be quite proud. Alas, it's taken from another messageboard: No personal experience of this since about the age of three...sorrryyy but I did see this story online.... Funniest damn thing that has ever happened to me. A couple of weeks ago we decided to...

    Not dead yet

    I can't believe so many people have written us off already. I think people are being overly critical on Ipswich here. I thought Ipswich looked a decent enough team but, crucially, clinical. It's only saddening that our usual clinical source of goals somehow misfired. I can't believe...
  12. Afew things im not happy with

    Some of the things im not happy with might well be minor things but these are simple things the club should be able to get right! Firsty, last season on DVD. All the other clubs bring out an end of season DVD showing the highs and lows of the season thats just ended during pre season. We are...

    The New Southend

    It's fantastic that just as our beloved club is succeeding on the pitch, reaching the Championship, and with a new stadium finally on the way, things are on the up that should make people sit up and notice Southend and want to come here again. Redevelopment of the seafront A brand new...

    C&G Trophy

    Taken from BBC Sport website The England and Wales Cricket Board has bowed to pressure from senior figures in the game to add an extra knockout round to the 50-over competition. Many complained to BBC Sport that the format led to meaningless matches for teams that had no hope of reaching the...
  15. We must be beat Swansea!

    Bristol City are on fire and can still make the play offs. I can't see us beating a Gary Johnson side that's full of confidence. Why oh why are Southend so rubbish at reaching the finish line. Didn't the players learn anything from last season? So frustrating. If we throw this league...
  16. Remaining Games

    I am starting to revise my opinion on our remaining matches. It has seemed for a long time that our home matches would be the "gimmes" and the aways difficult to get anything from, but results lately have changed my mind: Gillingham (h): They were really struggling, but have moved up...
  17. Signed Kevin McLeod from Swansea?

    606 forums and Skysports.com suggest we made a bid to sign McLeod on loan but the fax was a few seconds lates reaching the FL. Should know this morning if we get him. Hope this isn't a wind up! Tony C

    Essex v. Worcestershire

    Well, here's hoping we do better than we did against Northamptonshire, in which we were extremely fortunate to snatch a draw... The start of play was delayed by rain, but they got underway at 1.40 pm. Worcestershire won the toss and elected to field; Essex are making stately progress...
  20. Bents suspended?

    According to today's Southend Evening Echo, Bent's has recieved a two match ban for reaching ten bookings after his yellow on Sunday. He'll miss the Macclesfield and Oxford games. I thought his bookings had been wiped off after a certain date. Tilley is now trying to extend...
