  1. Hunt out for at least 2 weeks

    Spinner being interviewed on SS2 says Hunt is out for at least two weeks. Bring your boots to the game lads!
  2. 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...
  4. 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...
  5. 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...

    My trainee spinner popped in Concistency... whoopee!
  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...
  14. League Cup

    OK all eyes are on the Hawthorns this weekend, but does anyone care about the League cup? other than putting one on Brighton.. Do all the big teams come into the next round..? whilst an away tie at the Emirates against the Arse 3rd team would not attract the attention of the Nation, it would be...
  15. why oh why oh..........

    Having returned from Leicester, I have to say that I feel somewhat disheartened. I keep telling myself to put things in perspective, that there is little disgrace in a one nil defeat away at Leicester but it was the manner in which we seemed to lose our way that concerns me most. I would wager...
  16. Tilly hates yellow boots

    Paynter starts

    Paynter starts and Clarke keep his place ahead of Spinner.

    Adam Barett today (take two)

    Last week i was rather fast to jump on the youg man's case and question whether he should be dropped for this gaem. Thank f%&k he wasn't! He scored two today and i hold my hands up and say i dont think Spinner would have been there for either chance and the boy did well. I...

    Yesterdays View...

    Well first half was worst ive seen this season, second half we played better and created a few chances. But on the whole a very dissapointing day. IMHO He shouldn't have played Prior nor Badbuy yesterday. It's deffo time for Clarke to start ahead of Spinner for Sunderland! TBH...

    Last nights game!

    Well firstly what a turnout by all us Shrimpers! The atmosphere we created was so loud, fair play to one and all! Even when we went 3-1 down we still sang! I was appalled by Leon Cort. We gave him a good ovation before kick-off and he couldn't even acknowledge us...
  20. Shouldn't be too downhearted.....

    .....John Salako said we were "fantastic" on Soccer Special (he was watching the game on a monitor), said Southend "really impressed me" and that we didn't deserve the 3-1 defeat. Special praise from him for Maher, Gutts and Freddy. Set-pieces have cost us the game, get...
