    Ads during games

    This is an article about the National Rugby League (NRL) in Australia. I've posted it on here because I think this is a worrying development for televised sport in general and football in particular. Ours is a sport that's run for TV by TV and don't be surprised if we have ad breaks during...

    Efe on BBC website

    Quote: Efe Sodje says Southend need to imagine they are bottom of the Championship to maintain their push for survival. United climbed out of the relegation zone for the first time since September with a midweek victory over Burnley. Next up is a crucial clash against Leeds on Saturday and...
  3. Southend V QPR - the Shrimper Truth.

    Friday night football at Roots Hall has a special feel and from the kick off Barrett charged them. After eleven minutes the QPR back four knew they were going to get some and were harried into a poor backpass and Royce had time to see Bradbury the frist of several Blues descending on him. Lee...

    Is KP's injury a blessing in disguise?

    England seem to have been playing cricket non-stop more or less for a year. Pakistan and India are gruelling tours, but they were followed up with series immediately against Sri Lanka and Pakistan at home. As soon as the tests end they play ODIs. No sooner than the season ended then they were...

    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?

  6. Norwich v Southend

    Carrow Road on Boxing Day will always be a bit special for me: it was there back in 1995 that I saw my first ever away win. Gary Jones crouching down at the far post to head in the orange ball at a snow covered Carrow Road. It was only my 27th away game. Sadly Blues' away form since we...

    Plymouth preview

    “Can we play you every week” used to be the chant when Southend played Plymouth. During the 1990s, the Shrimpers beat the Pilgrims on seven consecutive occasions, whilst from 1957 to 2001, the Pilgrims were winless at Roots Hall. That victory for Plymouth – a 1-0 win courtesy of a Micky Evans...

    Tilly

    He is shown on the Blues World interview at the training ground, obviously after a session. His manner and demeanor is exactly how he usually comes across, with perhaps some concern as to how his troops will recover from 2 successive 3-0 defeats. We also have to bear in mind that the quality...

    The fbm view and ratings

    MISFIRING BLUES CRASH OUT OF CUP Southend's appalling home FA Cup record continued as MK Dons progressed to round 3 at Blues expense. In truth it wasn't a bad performance by the home team and some of the football in the first half and for the period after the equaliser was sublime.  The first...

    Training

    Any pops this week? None for us, a bit disappointing as was hoping at least one of the YP 18yo's would go to excellent. Still, our form continues to recover, may even be able to field a half decent reserve XI by the time the SZ Cup starts!

    Happy Thanksgiving

    I realize that Thanksgiving isn't celebrated in England, but one of the best parts about the day is that it gives people the chance to realize all the good things in their life, things that they take for granted the rest of the year.  One tradition of this day is before dinner each person says...
