    OD - Matchday 7

    Todays encounter sees me taking on the team in 6th place in my division, 1 spot and 4 points below me. The top 4 teams are going to saty as they are so it's results amongst the bottom 4 teams which will determine who goes down automatically and who goes into the play offs. So far I've beaten...
  2. 24 hrs to go!!!!!!!!

    OK - this time tomorrow we will soon be learning of our fate - just another thought on Ron's statement from Friday 'The building blocks are in place' (I'm sure there was no pun intended re FF) - I'm thinking that may have been tactical to give him a stronger hand if he is to sell the club to any...

    Hi Everyone

    Hi guys, Long time no speak! I'm as disturbed as all of you on here that the club is in the situation that it is. Several years ago i spoke to Ron Martin and told him that if the club needed to use me in ANY way,i would make myself available for the sole benefit of the club,in whatever...

    Hang on a minute... (rose tinted post alert)

    Look, rule 1 in business is always try and use someone else's money rather than your own. By deferring the tax bill, especially as HMRC charge interest on unpaid tax currently at 0% (or very close to it) it becomes a very cheap loan. I genuinely believe that RM was hoping to defer and defer...
  5. Good Luck

    Just a quick one from a Saints fan who knows how it feels to be going through this crap. Hopefully you'll come out the other side stronger as we have and hopefully you won't have to go as close to the wire as we did. All the best..
  6. Recession? Immigration? No, Women's Football!!

    The country is in a deep recession, masses remain unemployed, the National Health Service is understaffed and immigration is spiralling out of control. Forget all of that, The FA are not doing what they're told! Sports Minister Gerry Sutcliffe took precious time out of his schedule of claiming...

    SZ Novella - Chapter 8

    Chapter Eight - The Reduced Hypertherpia of the Closed Mancharia Osymandus pulled on a pair of heavy trousers and sucked the fetid air in through his teeth. Behind him, Rick Astley's body congealed silently on the floor, but of all the contributory factors to the awful smell in the room, he was...

    Not Revelling in it

    Here's what's on the email this week instead of Revs Lee Barnard Interview Whilst there may not have been an influx of players coming through the door at Roots Hall this summer, the improvement in two player’s fitness, Dougie Freedman and Lee Barnard, has felt like two new signings and Blues...

    Just how bad are things really?

    This isn't intended as a rose tinted post and I am certainly not seeing all things as sunshine and flowers as someone suggested on another thread. But at times like this it is very easy to be swept along on a bandwagon of fear and despair, with an awful lot of statements being made that are...

    A rising gem!

    That is Julian Oki... been on southends books a few years now and just started to creep onto the OS with his appearances in the youth team. Know him since young, always remember him playing for Ashingdon as a kid and was always banging in goals at that age, he then got scouted for southend and...
  12. Amir Khan? He Can

    TEN months on from his devastating first round knock out at the hands of Breidis Prescott, the so called "Boy who would be King" Amir Khan claimed his crown. In front of a packed MEN Arena, Khan produced the maturest display of his career in disposing of the canny German-based Ukrainian Andreas...
  13. Dirty weeds staying down

    Great news, so nice to see the scum of Football staying in the Division they belong. I am no lover of Millwall but I'll take them over Leeds anytime. Will make League one even stronger next season. Just look forward to beating them again at Roots Hall.

    Super-Outsiders? Not A Chance.

    Villarreal 1-1 Arsenal Senna, 10 Adebayor, 66 If it is true that whatever fails to kill you makes you stronger, then soon Arsenal will be invincible. After the painful grind of a season ruined by injuries and internal dispute, the Gunners are growing as a team, and as men. To come back from...

    FC - Matchday 5

    Well here it is, the day of my much awaited (for me) title decider back to back FC. I am 7 points clear of second and playing him at his but on my favourite dusty track. 2020 has helped him get some fitness back but he still has a couple of players with serious issues that will help me if needed...

    Post-Match Thread and Ratings Hereford United 0-1 Southend United

    Just back from Hereford. Didnt think we would edge it once Laurent missed that chance, but we certainly got stronger as the match went on and probably just deserved it, although the penalty was right in front of me, and I would have been pretty peeved to have that given against us. I reckon he...

    Huge Result Yesterday

    Make no mistake i have critised the players on here when i feel that they have under achieved and also have critised Tilson to on some of his desicions he has made this season. Its only fair then that the boys get praised up for a great result last night which IMO puts a nice gap now between...
  18. A few stats from the season thus far.

    I was bored at work today (no surprise there) and thought I'd have a quick look at the League One table. And I thought I'd share a couple of observations on it. I don't know if they mean anything but they might make a good debating point: - This time last season we only had four more points...

    Clarke/Barrett finally broken!

    I think I am right in saying, though happy to be proved otherwise, that today was the first time Tilson has made the conscious decision to not play Clarke and Barrett together? I know Barrett has played left back when we have been without one, but to actually have enough cover and split them...

    The Foran issue - my take.

    Firstly, I don't know what he has done in the past and frankly I don't care. It's nothing to do with me. But whatever it is, we have to bear in mind that the people paying his wages for whatever reason are happy to not include him in the matchday plans. That was clear from day 1 of this...
