    Who in our team is good enough??

    Who in our current team is actually good enough to play for the club? Just an honest question because i think we have a lot of dross who would struggle to find another league 1 club. Mildenhall: Good enough, and a decent keeper at this level. Barrett: Good enough, captain for a reason. He...

    Scottish Cup: Stenhousemuir Knock Out Dunfermline Despite 7-1 Defeat

    Because those pillocks from East End Park put on a substitute who was an ineligible player. Methinks there could be a club secretary looking for a new job on Monday.
  3. 50 games which defined a decade - Part 1 (2000-2004)

    As we've had our last game of the decade, I had planned to do something about the top twenty matches of the ten years just gone but I found it very difficult to leave some matches out, plus in truth it's some of the defeats which have stuck with me the most. And rather than doing a countdown I...

    Ibehre-less

    With us being Ibehre-less, probably for the best would this be the ideal time to try Francis Laurent upfront with his trickery and skill creating space for him and Barnard. Put Scannell on the wing and give him a chance to show what he can do. What do people reckon we should do as having Walker...

    Has it not occured to anyone..........

    A number of people have questioned where the £2.1 million has come from and some have also questioned how RM seems to have been able to find the full amount outstanding to HMRC when just a few days ago he couldn't find just 1/3 of that figure. Well, consider this scenario if you will. Perhaps...

    They Miss Him

    He may not have been there in person, but His presence hung around Wembley Stadium on Sunday like an over-tanned spectre. It lurked in every corridor, loomed over every conversation and sometimes, if you listened very, very carefully to a frequency only just on the cusp of human hearing, you...

    Arnau Riera

    Riera has been released by Sunderland after a season on loan at Falkirk. Riera was Lionel Messi's captain at Barcelona B before moving to Sunderland in 2006. Riera came on as substitute in our 3-0 defeat at Col U and started in the 0-0 draw at Norwich over Christmas.
  8. Seven Released

    Just on Beeb. SEVEN RELEASED Posted on: Mon 11 May 2009 Southend United have today released seven players following the conclusion of the season 9 days ago. Only Charles Ademeno and Peggy Lokando out of the seven youngsters set to leave have made first team appearances. Also leaving Roots...

    Cheated Chelsea Lose The Plot

    It was a night that should have been memorable for the beauty of Michael Essien's opening goal, but it is a raging Didier Drogba who will linger in the mind's eye. Furious with the referee's failure to award any one of four possible penalties, he shouted and screamed in his face before being...

    I wish I'd Gone To Hayes

    Barcelona 0-0 Chelsea So was it Guus Hiddink's tactics or Petr Cech's saves? Was it the referee and his failure to spot a late tug on Theirry Henry or was it Barcelona's inability to take their chances? Chelsea fans won't give two hoots. The net result of this rather grim affair was a scoreless...

    Brazil Are Crap

    Ecuador 1-1 Brazil Noboa, 89 Baptista, 73 One of the eternal joys of watching South American football is the sight of those famous yellow shirts buzzing around the pitch, flicking the ball to one another as if 30 yard first time passes were the easiest thing in the world. They play as...

    Blues all set for shake-up? http://www.echo-news.co.uk/theblues/4217087.Blues_all_set_for_shake_up_/ SOUTHEND United’s assistant manager Paul Brush has hinted there may be changes for tomorrow’s home clash with Carlisle United. The Shrimpers have played their last 10 games during...

    Problems Mount Up For Rafa

    Where's the firepower now? Selling an unwanted Robbie Keane may have been embarrassing, but it was at least understandable. Not replacing him though? That could be a disaster. Liverpool are out of the FA Cup, but what about the league? As Fernando Torres limped away after 101 minutes of a...

    You Lucky *******s

    Only Tottenham could make such a simple task so ludicrously difficult. Only Tottenham could take an unloseable game and almost throw it away. Harry Redknapp has booked his place at Wembley for a second season running, but he won't kid himself that his team deserves it. Two late goals from Roman...

    EPL Half-Term Reports Pt II

    Bolton - Not one of our most popular pupils, this one. Prone to fits of violence and if there's a ruckus in the playground, you'll invariably find him at the centre of it. That said, he has settled into his work better this term and is beginning to achieve some reasonable grades. A bit more...

    Shepherd's Bush Shrimper's Scunny Report

    Apologies for the delay with this one. Makes less depressing reading than reports of our humping in Bristol though.... It’s fair to say that the North Lincolnshire and East Yorkshire region is not a happy hunting ground for us Shrimpers. We very rarely seem to pick up points at the lovely...

    When times were worse

    Ok, things aren't going brilliantly at the moment, but lets remember where we came from. I've been tidying some boxes this week, and stumbled across a copy of the Swansea Evening Post, dated Saturday December 13th 2003 (apologies, but this is obviously written from the perspective of a Swans...
