  1. Ref Watch Col U ... A Miller's Tale

    Monday night's match has been entrusted to experienced official, Nigel Miller from not very nearby Durham. This is his seventh season as a League referee and this will be his sixth Southend match and his fifth Southend away game. We haven't actually won any of his away matches although we...

  2. Ref Watch ..... Norwich

    Our last three home games have produced no less than 24 yellow cards. Who is the man charged with keeping this impressive run going? Well, tomorrow night's match against Norwich will be refereed by the experienced official, Phil Crossley, from Bromley in Kent. This would be his eighth season...

  3. Adebayor Stamps His Authority, But Not His Quality

    Adebayor just doesn't get it, does he? He's a fine player when he wants to be, but his disgusting attitude will always stand between him and Manchester City Mediocrity. The Togolese centre forward started this season in sparkling form and is more than talented enough to be considered one of the...

  5. What Becomes of the Broke and Shafted

    Someone great once said that Football isn't a matter of life or death, it's much more than that. Which would explain the pain felt by those when their football club is ripped away from them. As a Southend United supporter, I've had the good grace of never witnessing non-league football and...

    As I have posted previously I have an article printed in every official programme this season telling the story of Season 1931-32 in 23 episides. It has been pointed out to me that not everybody attendes every match and not everyone buys a programme, so I thought I would post them here again if...

    SZ's Southend United Hall of Fame - David Webb

    For 84 years Southend was a team that bounced around the lower divisions. The opening words of the official club history are: "Other teams dreamt of Wembley, some hankered for the first division championship or a place in Europe - but Southend only ever wanted second division status." We'd...

  10. Our bench last night

    Am I right in thinking we only named six substitutes last night? If this is correct, I am slightly confused as to why we didn't name a seventh, which we had every right to do. It would have been an ideal opportunity to give one of our youth players a taste of the big time, or perhaps Scannell...

  11. Ref Watch .... Cup v Luton

    Good news on the referee front, as we have been given Andy Penn from Birmingham for this match. He is an experienced lower division referee in his seventh season on the League list. He keeps up with play very well, as befits a marathon runner, and will let the game flow given half a chance. He...

  12. Ref Watch ... Oldham (H)

    Saturday's match against Oldham will be refereed by the experienced official, Phil Crossley, from Kent. This would be his seventh season as a League referee but as he missed all of last season through injury, I guess it's really his sixth. The two previous seasons were both interrupted by...

    Liverpool's Slippery Title Chase

    There's a distinct Joey Barton vibe about Liverpool this week. We look at them with a grudging respect, we acknowledge the good start, but we all share a growing sense of uneasiness, as if it's only a matter of time before they fall flat on their face, or in Barton's case, re-arrange someone's...

    Faith Schools

    Apparently there is to be a new report out on Monday trying to persuade Ed Balls to get rid of faith schools (including Catholic, CoE as well as Jewish, Muslim, Sikh, and even Greek Orthodox and Seventh Day Adventist). BBC Radio Essex have asked me to briefly speak on their Sunday morning show...

    A genuine question for the doom and gloom brigade - why do you do it?

    I'm not addressing this question to those who have a few specific concerns about the current goings on (or lack thereof) at the club. This is to the people who were moaning while we played our seventh ever season of second tier football. The ones who followed us to the Millenium Stadium for our...

    Sepp Blatter

    You can say what you like about Sepp Blatter, and most people do, but he certainly doesn't lack the courage of his convictions. His proposal that football clubs should limit themselves to just five foreign players by 2012 is going to upset some very powerful people. Not that Blatter cares, of...

    Liverpool won the battle for fourth place more comfortably than their 1-0 scoreline suggested with a confident, accomplished victory that will send them to London on a high. The fact that this mighty club was fighting for such a lowly league position is a searing indictement on this season's...

    Time Running Out for Rafa

    Time Running Out for Rafa I’ve never been entirely sure about Alan Curbishley. He never seems to be the kind of man who can turn a game, the motivational dynamo who can lift the players, or the tactical genius who can outwit the greats. I’m not still not sure he’s any of the above, but he’s...
