  2. Best radio co-presenter / Phil Brown

    Laying in the bath listening to our own Phil Brown on radio 5 live i must say that even if he was'nt our manager he would still be my favourite co- sports presenter; straight to the point, no woffle, knowledgeable, funny, mentions Southend and on there because he is bloody good not because of...

    Rob Kiernan Sky Sports Interview

    Not sure if this has been put on here yet but there's an interview with Rob on the Sky Sports website. He says he doesn't know what's happening to him in January but he's spoken to the Wigan manager about it and they are trying to get something sorted. Do you think this will be with us or will...

    Phil Brown on Sky Sports 1

    **YOU DO NOT NEED TO ADJUST THE COLOUR ON YOUR TV** Sound was down, but I think he's talking about the Championship as they put up the Championship table.

    What Would We Change Our Name To??

    Well, I see that Hull City have formally applied to be known as Hull Tigers which is pretty much in line with the sort of silly names that sports Teams in the USA get lumbered with. So what could we ever be known as - ignoring the obvious Southend Shrimps which is hardly likely to strike fear...

    Southend United in the media

    Thought I'd start a new thread as a place for people to post random bits and bobs about the club that appear in the national media. First up, we got a mention on BBC Five Live's "Fighting Talk" last Saturday when the panel were asked to name the most 'fantastically grotty' stadium in the world...
  8. A Bit of Fun Brown to Wigan

    Wigan supremo Dave Whelan is rumoured to be lining up Southend manager Phil Brown as a replacement for the sacked Owen Coyle. Whelan is quoted as saying "firstly I must apologise to the fans, I got a bit confused when appointing Coyle, I knew I wanted an ex Bolton man and I thought I was...

  10. Did anyone else notice....

    Last night on BT sports watching the Gills crash out to Brackley (featuring Brett Solkhon who grew up on Canvey) I'm certain I saw Phil Brown lurking outside the makeshift commentary box up the precarious looking ladder. He wasn't under cover with the BT commentators one of whom was "Mad Dog"...
  11. Dan Bentley- new career as a lineman

    I got the below email from a friend yesterday , thought it might be of interest . Made me smile and it acts a reminder that our players have 'normal' lives as well. Rightly or wrongly I cant see a premiership starlet doing this My brothers team (Sky Athletic) won 2-0 v Eversley Sports (who...

    Champions League and BT Sport

    BT getting the CL rights is a big old blow for Sky and ITV, particularly the latter. Great news for the PL as well - they know Sky *have* to get the rights for that when the next round of bidding comes round, so more cash going to the top of the game. Hooray! Still not enough to persuade me to...

    Watching Southend play Newport on Saturday at a ground that also hosts rugby got me thinking of how many other dual sports grounds Southend have played at. I will start with Newport and Bristol Rovers. How many more can you list?:unsure:

    Footballers Smoking?

    I read an article on the Sky Sports News app about Wenger is not happy about Jack Wilshere seen smoking on a night out after the Napoli game. Personally if I was a professional footballer earning all that money and needing to be fit beyond belief I would never even consider smoking. I know a...

    Joe Yoffe set to challenge FIFA's transfer window.

    Surprised this hasn't been mentioned yet. Seems ex-Southend trialist Joe Yoffe is set to take FIFA to court and challenge the transfer window. He currently ply's his trade in Iceland, where due to the adverse weather they endure, the season (and subsequently many player contracts) ends outside...
