  1. Still hasn't sunk in

    I've just got back to Brum after my trip back to the homeland, and I still can't believe what happened last night. I was at the Hall, I've watched the tape of the match, I've seen the highlights and interviews too many times to count, stood in WHSmith reading all the match...

    The View from Spain

    As the cork from a bottle of cava struck the ceiling and rebounded into a clutch of Man Ure fans bonding in quiet contemplation in one corner of the bar, someone, I don't know who, approached me, shook my hand with hearty congratulation and uttered: "how the **** are you lot bottom of...

  3. In shock.....

    .....nights like this surely happen to other teams not my beloved Southend United?   Freddy proved tonight that he is Premiership class, he ran 4 full international defenders (and good ones!) ragged!!! Would be harsh to single out players after a MAGNIFICENT team performance tonight but I...

  4. Last night I saw

    Spinner in KFC on the A127 (Bazzo branch). Two questions; Firstly, should he be eating KFC? Secondly, should a SUFC player be driving a brand new silver 911 turbo? Was quite funny watching him keep looking round anxiously to ensure no chavs were nicking it

    Tomorrow

    ... anyone?! This is the most important match of the damn season. Mainly cos we get to have a chance to go to the Col Ewe game which is more important than Man Who is the CC!! After speaking to Freddy last night, it seems like he will be back in the starting XI. JCR is still out...

  8. How to solve the defensive prob

    Today we saw the first signs of how to beat this defensive problem we're in.... play 11 defenders, today we had 4 in defence 1 in midfield and 1 up front.. next week spinner will be up front, wilson midfield aswell, and we'll get a few defenders in on loan. Todays subtitutions seem to be...

    Ricketts Gone

    Spinner talks after the Coventry game After about 2m 30secs the subject crops up and he can all hear for yourselves what he says and that Ricketts has gone. Now, i know this is nothing new etc... but we've only heard it from the Echo (and the more reiable wrongun!) but for anyone with...

    Sodje injured

    Efe has been ruled out of tonights match v Coventry with an achilles injury. With spinner also injured, thats Barrett and Clarke in the middle then. They are too similar for me and Clarke has been fairly woeful of late. He needs a big performance or its another spanking I fear.

  11. Neophiliacs XI

    Billy Paynter isn't the new Graeme Jones and Hooper isn't the new Eastwood, so who are exactly are our team? So far I've got: Flahavan: the new any one of a number of youth team products over the last decade - too small and not good enough. Francis: the new dangerous Dave Morley...

    Reserves Match Report - SUFC 3 LTFC 1

    Was it the unseasonally warm weather or was it the fact that I'd only recently found out that STHs get into reserves games for nothing ? It matters not. The important thing is that after 33 years of patiently and quietly watching the best team in the world I finally broke my duck to watch my...

    Spinner in the Western Mail

    They mentioned on Five Live this morning that there was an interview with Spinner in the Western Mail this morning, about the fact that it's hard being an English player in Wales. And they weren't making it up - here's the story: Spinner: Being an English player in Wales is...
