    Best Spine???

    As a bit of end of season discussion, who do you guys think would be our best spine, who have actually played together? For avoidance of confusion, by spine I mean Goalkeeper, Central Defender, Central Mid & Centre Forward/Striker.

    Sign players early ......... or play a waiting game

    With the squad decreasing each week Brown, Horton and co will be working away looking at signing new players for the coming season. Now, we all like to see some quick signings - it suggests that the club is a desirable place to be, the finances are in order and that we are taking our pick from...

    So where do we go from here?

    Ok, the morning after. Going out of the cup is a pain and takes away the opportunity of some much needed revenue. But lets look at a few facts. We are 7th in the league and ok position wise. The away form is good, up there with the best in the division. It's the home form that is poor. The Cup...

    Group A - Brazil, Croatia, Mexico and Cameroon

    Group A, the group of the host nation, and possibly even the favourites. It seems that the draw has been kind to Brazil, and they will be expected to qualify from the group easily. The battle for second place and qualification to the next round will be close, with all three of the other teams...
  7. John White

    Extremely impressed by White, very professional, great attitude, settled in quickly and leading by example. I hope we can hang onto him, could turn out to be a long serving loyal servant in the mould of Paul Clark / Adam Barrett / Spencer Prior. That's what we have lacked in recent seasons and...

    Crazy!!!!

    Enjoyed the match last night , it was a very entertaining evening + well worth the tenner admission. But some of the decisions by our management team was ridiculous. We had 2 of our trialists who must wonder why they wasted their time coming to the club. Firstly Don Cowan , a lightening fast...

    Pre-Match Thread Blues v Dagenham (JPT)

    If I were you I'd get yourself along tomorrow evening as it promises to be a real cracker! Why am I so sure? Well I'm not going, that's why! It's not that I just can't go - there's usually at least one game per season which for various family/work reasons I can't attend. No, tomorrow night...

    Team for next season...

    Yes I am hurting, yes I am frustrated and yes, I am on the verge of tears after seeing us hand our League 1 place over to Notts County with a whimper, but having had a night of disturbed sleep upon which to reflect and start thinking about next season, I think we actually could have the spine of...

    Time For Chelsea To Grow Up

    WHAT’S GONE WRONG AT CHELSEA? For six years, Chelsea have been a relentless winning machine, but that arrogant sense of superiority has faded away. In its place is hesitancy, vulnerability and a worrying inability to dictate the flow of games. Chelsea are dropping points so frequently that...

    SZ's Southend United Hall of Fame - Paul Clark

    The Viking That alone might be enough words for many on here to vote yes to Paul Clark, but if you weren't fortunate enough to have witnessed his crunching tackles and never say die attitude, I suppose I should give a lengthier bio. The first local player up for election, Clark was born in...
