    Is no signing better than a bad signing?

    Everyone wants us to sign another striker, but we are having trouble signing the right man. What will be worse for the club: rushing in and making a bad signing - another Ricketts, who wasn't interested; or maybe a Paynter, who for whatever reasons didn't work out - or not making another signing...

    MK Dons

    Although I hate the MK Dons and what they did to Wimbledon I have just seen the local news and a piece covering the Queen's visit to the town. There were 15,000 school children in the new stadium and Pete Winkleman was rushing around with a huge grin on his face. The stadium looked great and...

    Alot of you need to grow up

    Right I have read some of your comments on here about Matt Harrold and your a ****ing joke. From the timing of your posts its clear you didnt go today so how do you know he played crap. He didnt play crap. The rest of the team did. Only Hunt and Harrold put any real effort in. I went today and...
  4. The 4 Stages Of Man Supporting The Shrimpers

    It strikes me that there is a lot of people posting on here with far to much time on their hands. Which got me thinking about the 4 stages of supporting Southend. 1. Young child, when your about 8 the players of Southend are your all time favourites and seem to a small boy, about 8 foot...

    Wednesday's Second Question - The Apprentice

    Why is it that when the firing is done on the Apprentice is always shows that outside of Canary Wharf tower (aka One Canada Square) and when they are rushing back from the tasks it also gives the impression that is Canary Wharf. However, once someone is fired they are seen walking out of a...

    Eastwood's shot - so unlucky

    Not only did it hit the post but it also wrong-footed the onrushing JCR when it bounced back out.
  7. The case of the Curtains ...

    Dedicated to SlipperDuke. Having to set the scene first..This occured about 10 years ago ..I had at that time spent many months decorating my bedroom in the then "Vogue" colours of the time...Beige on Beige. She was a Girl (and I use that term loosly) who I had known some 20 odd years. She...
  8. 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...

    The fbm view and ratings

    NOT QUITE ALL WHITE AS BLUES GRAB POINT Southend earned a deserved point against play-off chasers Plymouth at the Hall today, but wore their all white away kit to do it! Presumably the visitors had not brought down their away strip and so it was felt that the easiest solution would be for us...
  10. Shrimper I met in Inverness.....

    Thanks for spotting the shirt and speaking to me. Sorry I didn't stop and chat, I was rushing to get a reluctant teenager to his opticians appointment (so uncool that I think my son would rather do ballet lessons than wear his reading glasses). If you are on SZ, PM me and maybe we could...

    The fbm view and ratings

    LAST GASP GOWER MAKES A POINT Mark Gower was the stoppage time hero as he lashed home the 6th and equalising goal of a pulsating thriller under the lights at Roots Hall. This is a game that will live long in the memory of the 11000-plus fans who were fortunate enough to witness the 100 mph...
  12. Billy Sharp

    Billy Sharp at moment is in Ibiza playing in a four team tournement and return back to England on Sunday. Is this the reason Tilson is not rushing around at the moment and is waiting for Monday Morning to get that signature. This really could happen

    Just seen the goals

    in slow mo and to clear up any confusion - JCR knocks it in when it looks like he's trying to step over it, as the ball would have gone out for a goal kick. Southall beat Maher in the air for a free header, although Bart came rushing out when maybe staying on his line would have been a...

    monday morning joke

    An old one but a good one ...... The bishop of the Cathedral of Notre Dame sent word through the streets of Paris that a new bell ringer was needed. The bishop decided that he would conduct the interviews personally and went up into the belfry to begin the screening process. After observing...

    I was very unsure what to expect today against an Oldham side who had made a decent start to the season but I knew little about. By chance, I ended up going to the game with an Oldham fan who was visiting a mate of mine but from his dramtic reactions, it was difficult to get much information out...

    Surviving Terrorism

    In the event of a terrorist attack, you will need to react quickly.  Please read the following carefully. <span style='color:red'>1. IF YOU ARE EVER TRAPPED ON A PLANE WITH SOMEONE WHO APPEARS TO BE A MUSLIM AND/OR A HIJACKER:</span> Do not panic. Often young Muslim men are not terrorists...

    Why did the chicken cross the road?

    Why Did The Chicken Cross The Road? Arsene Wenger "From my position in the dug-out I did not see the incident clearly so I cannot really comment. However, I do think that he gets picked on by opposition players and fans who are clearly chickenophobic." David O'Leary "To be fair, he's just a...
  18. League Two Play-offs

    Southend........12/5 Lincoln............5/2 Northampton....5/2 Macclesfield.....3/1 I won&#39;t be rushing out to back Southend at that price (not least because I get the sack if I bet with Ladbrokes&#33;)
  19. Final thoughts

    I wrote this after the game, just been able to post it now that my registration has completed. Man of the match for me was Adam Barrett, who put in an absolutely outstanding display. He won pretty much everything at the back and moved forward with style and control in true Alan Hansen fashion...
  20. The Blues are going up&#33;

    What a stonking day at Aggbrough, it doesn&#39;t get much better. Terrific gutsy showing in the last ten minutes to finally get the win we should have sown up much earlier. But then if we had sown it up earlier we would have missed out on the fantastic ending. We were by far the better team...
