    If Freddy Leaves...

    ...who would you want to replace him. BTW Michael Owen & Ronaldo won't be joining either!! Assuming that the seemingly inevitable happens, it would seem that a few players will leave us, Freddy included. Who, if anybody, would you want to replace him. Would you stick with Hoops, Ginge, Bradders...

    Easy Fishing

    I've been reading all the various posts on the numerous threads about the Leeds game & I cannot believe how little bait the Leeds fans are having to use to get such big bites from SZ members. Banter is usually great fun, even a bit of p!ss taking, but a lot of SZ members are making themselves &...
  3. Jason Scotland

    Daily Express (Scottish Edition) 15-3-07 Shrimpers Want Jason Southend want to sign St Johnstone striker Jason Scotland. The struggling Championship side, who also have former Motherwell players Stevie Hammell and Richie Foran, have already spoken to the the frontman's agent and are...
  4. Similarities with Yeovil?

    Has anyone else noticed how we have fared similarly to Yeovil when they deservedly when up as Champions of League 2 when we went up in the play-offs? Last season they struggled in League 1 and just escaped relegation at the end of the season. This season they are much stronger and fighting for...

    HT- Coach question.

    £800K in the kitty with a WC defender gone on sale tonight (though I am horrified at the transfer compare suggesting only £750K) and one more pop/sale due in the next week or two though this will only be a magnificent. My coach's leadership finally dropped to wretched tonight - thats...

    Interesting reading

    Whilst it is very encouraging that we have so many games against teams from the bottom half remaining, the current tables certainly show we'll have to buck our ideas up (ranked on points per game): Games against top half teams: P W D L CS FtS F A GD Pt PPG 1 Birmingham City 14 9 3 2 7 2 21 11...

    WTF... Why are Southend propping up the league

    Interesting comments from Fans regarding our current position. http://www.thefootballforum.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=109648 SPURS FAN I just dont understand how Southend are bottom of the Fizzy Pop.They have impressed me on both occasions that i have witnessed them at WHL......They play...

    The worst thing about losing...

    ...is that we get the same old morons spouting the same old ****e about the same old perceived shortcomings of their same old whipping boys!! No surprise they've been notable by their absence during our recent run of form. Ah well, guess they'll be here all week. Ooops, Tottenham away and then...

    Wolves preview

    You wait ages for a game against Wolves to come along, and then you get two inside a month! Just four weeks after a 3-1 defeat at Molineux, The Shrimpers are once again doing battle with Wolverhampton Wanderers. Just a week ago, things weren’t looking too bad for Southend. Victory over...

    HT Qualifier - Going well so far

    1-0 up at half-time - oppo had 71% possession but I am pressing and have a decent enough defence (one got injured just before the break but was replaced with a stronger one.) If I get promoted one of the teams in the division is a bot making my life slightly easier next year. Looks a fairly...

    HT NEW YOOF SYSTEM

    We are proud to inform you about an upcoming new feature. The season after next season (at the end of March) there will be a brand new and more challenging youth system in place. HT-Tjecken gives you the big picture in this editorial. One of few things remained untouched since Hattrick started...

    The fbm view and ratings

    AGAINST ALL ODDS Years ago, when Southend were regularly plumbing the depths of the division now known as league 2, I used to get some funny looks when people found out I was a season ticket holder at Roots Hall.  “What on earth for?” they used to quip, “Surely you must play ‘Spot the Crowd’...

    Eintracht Frankfurt On Tour

    Despite what the title says, these are Eintracht Frankfurt fans at Brondby in Denmark for a UEFA Cup match earlier this season. An awesome sight (and I have seen it in person a few years ago) but I hope our new stadium is built a little bit stronger that the Brøndby Stadion; wait until about 35...

    Time to sell Freddy Eastwood

    Okay, so don't shoot me down in flames, I'm just raising a possibility... As I left the stadium last night, my initial thought was "Well thank God we still have Freddy Eastwood. Imagine how rubbish we'd be without that one apparent ray of light!". Until I considered how it might just be...
  16. Freddy Eastwood

    I can't be dealing with the negativity right now, so I just want to say that we've got a really special player here. He scored another top goal tonight and could have had a couple more too. He looks physically stronger now than he was last season and his team's poor form...
  17. Amongst the obvious delight.....

    ....of drawing Manchester United it should become blatantly obvious that should Freddy perform well against a defence similar or stronger than the one the Premiership leaders (sorry, double-take for a minute there lol!) put out tonight he'll definitely be off to the Premiership in...

    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...

    Tonight's game

    Another good performance from the lads tonight. Bournemouth really came at us from the start of the second half, when of course they scored the equaliser, but I feel on the balance of the 90 minutes the score was a fair reflection of the match. We showed on several occasions the difference in...

    Pottery Lesson

    So how did we handle the step-up in class and what have we learned for the season ahead? The step-up ------------ Just like last season, the step up from one division to the next was instantly apparent and, while Stoke are far from being one of the better "footballing" sides we'll...
