  1. just got back

    cant really say much as need to rush out, wolves were poor... we were worse, did the basics well and looked better than usual at the back but still had nothing going forward... jcr was dreadful and freddy not much better ratings: flavs: 6.5 did ok, distribution was good with bradders on the...

    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’...

    Last night's choice of kit

    Anybody in the know care to enlighten me why we wore the red kit last night? Last time I checked all navy didn't clash with all white! Still if it changed the luck, here's hoping it will get another airing on Saturday. Also, for kit-spotters like me, did anybody else notice we...

    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...
  5. Coventry Game

    I was impressed with a much improved display this week.  The lads fought and battled hard, and had more desire than they showed in the Cardiff game.  If they pull up their socks and continue to play like that, results will come. Didn't think much of Coventry and don't expect them to be...

    JCR

    How long are we gonna keep kidding ourselves that he should be in the team? Lets face it, he has been given the ball no end of times this season, but has anyone actually seen a decent cross? or indeed anything productive? Given, i think he does work his socks off by chasing back when the ball...

    My squad for Saturday

    Flavs Francis Sodje Clarke Hammel (Barret) JCR Gutts Mayer Gower (Cole) Freddy Paynter (Harrold) After Tuesday's reserve match I think Sodje is more than ready to start on Saturday. That for me is the strongest back...
  8. Palace 3 - 1 Shrimpers

    This took too long to write. MtS has beaten me to it (and a good report too!), but I may as well post the fruits of my labours. Just got back from Selhurst Park. Here's my two penneth: First Half A great early break really set the tone for the first half, Bradders worked his socks off...

    BLUES SILENCE POMPEY CHIMES Unfortunately yet again I managed to miss the opening part of the match (this time 15 minutes) due to circumstances beyong my control, so cannot comment on anything that happened in that time, including Freddys early opener. Steve Tilson had started with what he...

    Office Loser

    You know what its like when your at work - You always get one person at work who is a complete lost it. The sort of person that is destined to spend their life living in a cave as they cant cope with human contact. My one from memory is a bloke called Darren.He supported Liverpool but never...
  11. Our Bottle

    I live in Leigh but work in Chelmsford so not surprisingly no one really shares my passion for the blues at work. Over the past couple of weeks I have been getting a lot of stick about us ‘bottling it’ at the last minute with home defeats from the Gills and Donny. My boss was convinced we...

    Are you Henry in disguise?

    He plays like Henry, wears his socks like Henry and wears the same boots as Henry and from his performance today, he played like Henry. How fookin good is Freddy Eastwood?? The way he creates a goal out of nothing and the way he can just spped past 3 defenders with ease is unbelievable!!

    ST.VALENTINES DAY MASSACRE AS BEES BASH BLUES Southends unbeaten run came to an abrupt end at Griffin Park as Brentford exacted revenge for the 4-1 drubbing dished out to them at the Hall a few weeks back. That scintillating performance seemed a million miles away as Southend were second best...

    Grim down south - a frozen match report

    Not bad, just not great So so cold, snow at some points. The goals like the snow came in a flurry, Guttridge's header and Gowers class finish coming minutes apart. Sodje is a class player, showing almost arrogance in some of his defending, his positioning is excellent as is his heading...
  15. Love the kit combination today

  16. Blackpool

    Quick points: Blackpool fans were great, had a good chat with some of them before and after the game. They are being screwed by Oyston who won't sell up to a consortium with cash to spend. Blackpool is a dirty, rusty, peeling, faded craphole of a town it makes Southend look prosperous and...
  17. Todays Summary

    I read in the echo earlier this week, Gower was pleading "Give me time to come good". Now i know i'm just waiting for the other 9 or 10 players on the pitch to join him. Gower gave it his all for the 70 minutes he played today and showed some promise as a more than capable winger...

    Wayne Gray

    I have accused Wayne previously, but as i type this, we have scored three goals this season, he has scored 1, and set up the other 2, and has worked his socks off in both games. Keep it up Wayne

    One Hundred Albums ...

    Interesting nominations at www.jaguaro.org A few "eyebrow raisers": Nirvana - Nevermind "Yeah, yeah - I realize that this is the one that broke grunge's doors wide open and made Seattle a place to be reckoned with. Are we sure that's good? At best, Nevermind is an...
  20. Managers making their transfer targets public

    Just a few thoughts on all of the latest 'Players refusing to sign their new contract' news. I think we should wait and see what Flavs, Dudfield, Che, Nicky and Jay do re their contracts, before we get too worked up about whether they will or won't sign. It would be somewhat ironic if a player...
