  1. Ref Watch ....... Chesterfield A

    Tomorrow's tricky looking fixture will be refereed by one of the League's newest officials with the man-in-black (or purple, grey or yellow) being Sebastian Stockbridge from Penshaw in Sunderland. This will be his third ever League match. The previous two were Fleetwood 3 v 1 Dagenham (2...

    Southend's Best/Worst Ever Sporting Decisions

    Interesting discussion on Sky Sports News this morning about Sport's best ever decisions. Contenders included Andy Murray's decision to appoint Ivan Lendl, Sir Alex Ferguson's decisions to sign Cantona from Leeds and bring on Teddy Sherringham in that final, Jimmy Hill's idea to bring in 3...

    Virgin finally add BT Sport

    :clap: Phew! Not a minute too soon. Was facing up to the fact of a season with no live footie. BT Sports 1&2 and ESPN all in HD added free for XL subscribers.
  4. Sky or Virgin Media

    Moved into a new place about a month ago, now things have settled down a bit, have been thinking about getting Sky or Virgin Media, mainly sports for me and kids channels for lil-ones. Just wondered if anyone had any advice on which company would be better going with
  5. Southend vs Plymouth Sky Sports Highlights.

    Apparently our new signing Barry Corr scored the only goal of the game on his debut. He then celebrated with his new team mates! Nice to know sky are on the ball! http://www1.skysports.com/watch/video/sports/football/competitions/league-two/8854736/southend-1-0-plymouth

    England Not the Big Attraction?

    I have been watching the sky sports transfer centre and BBC sport like a hawk. Reading rumours and all the transfer news. But one thing is starting to show. England and the Premier League is slowly becoming less of an attraction for big players. Now my question is why? Falcao has chosen to...

    Impressed in there 2-0 win, Ally McCoist said I would imagine that if he puts in another performance like that, he won’t have to do much more to get a contract http://www.rangers.co.uk/news/headlines/item/4407-mohsni-makes-his-mark

    British Lions series win

    So the news and Sports channels are going into meltdown as they always do after any kind of tub-thumping victory. As an only occasional fan of egg running, I'm all over the kudos and looking around me for any Australians to rub it in with, but it does all seem a little over-the-top. To any of...

  10. Kevin Davies - just saying

    From Sky Sports interview. You have to reckon on us being one of the clubs he is talking to. So who knows. Might not be as unrealistic as it might seem: What's your mindset heading into the summer? How are you approaching being a free agent? I've just been working on part one of my A license...
  11. Steve Tilson

    Breaks my hearts to have to post this in 'Ex-Shrimpers'.... Now the Tilson-era is over, what do you consider to be his greatest achievement at Southend United Football Club?

  15. Mad Cyril

    Best Swearing.

    What is the best bit of swearing you have heard. For me it was when a mate, apoplectic with rage was ejected by the proprietor of the archery/sports shop near Priory park for having the nerve to touch a tennis racket. "That ****, he's a ****ing ****"
  16. Ryan Cresswell

    Spireite in peace. Rumour has it guys that Ryan Cresswell may be joining us. Please see the following tweet from a radio sheffield sports reporter (Has very good links with our club and is usually correct) "I hear Chesterfield are working hard to sign Ryan Creswell from Southend. Doubt we've...

    Question Calling all Football Manager-playing Southend fans - RESEARCH VACANCY

    Sorry mods, wanted to post in here to give this more exposure, but I understand if you decide to move it! I am moving to Florida on July 23rd, meaning that after 6 years, I am unfortunately having to vacate my role as Southend United Data Researcher. Sports Interactive will soon be advertising...

    Sky Sports - Now TV

    I dont subscribe to Sky Sports because I pretty muchlost interest in the Premiership long ago and we for some reason arent on there a lot, and when we are Im at the game anyway. Ive seen that Now TV are doing a day pass for Sky Sports which sounds like a great idea to me...

    What I like about Phil Brown

    I've just been reading through Phil Brown's interviews and I am impressed with how he conducts himself. PB seems to be a very strong minded and positive person. Throughout his first 6 games in charge he has accepted that he is learning about the team. He hasn't professed to knowing everything...
