    Tilsons comment of the week

    Rub of the green, socks off, gave it there all, played well WHICH PATHETIC COMMENT IS IT THIS WEEK....... (Drum Roll) 'We played quite well' Another defeat Tilson and more bull **** that comes out of that mouth of yours a draw or a win would have constituted playing well NOT A DEFEAT.

  3. Money Can't Buy You Class

    Money can you buy a lot of things. It can buy you a fast car, a nice house and a beautiful wife. It can buy you the worlds greatest player and, in Manchester City's case, it can buy you an incompetent defence. What money can't buy you, Manuel Pellegrini learnt tonight, is class. El Classico...

    The Ballad of Balloon Boy

    No matter how lethargic and fuzzy-headed you feel this Monday morning, no matter how unenthusiastic you were about the idea of leaving your bed, console yourself with the knowledge that at least one person out there is having it worse than you. Somewhere, presumably on Merseyside, one little boy...
  5. First Five Games in Last Five Seasons

    Whilst we have probably not got the points our performances deserve it has ultimately been another disappointing start to the season !. On checking our record over the last five seasons in the first five games at the start of campaign our form has been as follows...

    Breaking News David Cameron quotes Tilly in live TV broadcast

    Yes , not a word of a lie, David Cameron, rejoicing in the Tory 'victory' in Wales said that when it comes to the next general election his team will have to 'work their socks off ' :stunned: It seems Sir Steve's influence is spreading :clap: - take note those who say our manager can't give...

    Memory Lane Special Report on SUFC's previous homes

    Nice piece from the Echo's site today (I know there's no paper today), could have gone in the other forum I guess, but thought it kind of went alongside the Hall of Fame stuff we've been doing. Sing the Blues for stadiums past 12:10am Saturday 30th May 2009 Comments (0) Have your say » By...

    I'm sure that upon reading this, you'll nod your head in agreement as you will all have experienced most, if not all of the scenarios listed. If you haven't you need more fiber..... The Perfect Dump Every once in a while everyone experiences the perfect dump. It's rare but a real thing of...

    Champions League Reports

    Apologies, I've been rushed off my feet this week. Here's both games for you. Is it so inconceivable that Arsenal could end this strangest of seasons as Champions of Europe? Arsene Wenger described his side as 'super-outsiders' before the first leg of their clash with Villarreal, but even after...

    SZ Novella - Chapter Seven

    Chapter Seven - A Mystery Wrapped In A Riddle And Clad In A Southend United Scarf Ricey knocked once on the door of Osymandus' cottage. With a loud creak that seemed unnecessarily dramatic, it opened slowly to reveal a gloomy mess, lit only by a handful of candles scattered about the room...

    Pick the team of the Tilson era

    Who would you pick in the team of the Tilson era? Mine would be Daryl Flahavan (one of only a few keepers we have seen under Tilson and some amazing performances) Duncan Jupp (his runs down the wing, his tackles, his goal v Lincoln to send us up) Adam Barrett (Southend legend, works his socks...

    Football Boots

    Guys and girls, I need your help on what football boots I should get next. I'm looking at Adidas Predators as I always wear them. Tried Nike Legends before and didn't like them at all.

    Problems Mount Up For Rafa

    Where's the firepower now? Selling an unwanted Robbie Keane may have been embarrassing, but it was at least understandable. Not replacing him though? That could be a disaster. Liverpool are out of the FA Cup, but what about the league? As Fernando Torres limped away after 101 minutes of a...

    Johnny Herd- Great game

    Although I think the majority of the team played their socks off last night. i think a special metion need sot go to Johnny Herd who IMO has come in this season, virtually unheard of apart from those who watch the resevres and has been a good replacement for Dan Harding. There is no doubt in my...

    Club to fine Christophe and Laurent

    My 'source' inside fortress Roots Hall now tells me that Christophe and Laurent have fallen foul of Tilly and are set to be fined. Apparently, they both turned up to training without their full kit and as the club shop had sold out of socks during the run up to Christmas, they were unable to...

    EPL Half-Term Reports Pt II

    Bolton - Not one of our most popular pupils, this one. Prone to fits of violence and if there's a ruckus in the playground, you'll invariably find him at the centre of it. That said, he has settled into his work better this term and is beginning to achieve some reasonable grades. A bit more...
