    Spurs Superior To Baffling Blues

    We all chuckled when Jonathan Woodgate claimed that he joined Tottenham in order to have a chance of winning trophies but, appropriately enough, it was the former Middlesbrough centre-back who delivered the long-suffering club their first silverware in nine years at Wembley Stadium. “Scoring...

    This is what 'Perspective' looks like

    So, after just 4 wins and a draw in our last 6 games, and game in hand pending, there or thereabouts in the playoffs, perhaps now some people can finally understand what perspective means when it comes to the sensationalism postings that have appeared on here over the last couple of months...

    Liverpool Not Out Yet

    Liverpool fans must be feeling numb by now. There's only so much bad news you can take before you end up rocking backwards and forwards in the corner of the room, dribbling on your shoes and the weekend defeat to Barnsley was the final straw for most long-suffering Reds. Never has there been...

    Everton Down On Their Luck

    There are times in my life when I’m incredibly grateful to my Dad for taking me to see Southend United on my 11th birthday. It was freezing cold, everything smelt of fried onions, someone urinated on my trainers and Huddersfield won 1-0, but somehow it felt so right. It was the start of an...

    Revell - Views from Brighton

    Don't get me wrong, I really do hope that this is going to be a superb signing but I hope Brighton dont' know something we don't know: Wednesday Nov 28 2007 08:06 Brighton & Hove Albion are hopeful that Alex Revell can make a swift return from hernia surgery in time for their FA Cup tie...

    Nothing Yet For Keegan

    Newcastle’s worrying, barren run under Kevin Keegan stretched to its third game on Wednesday morning when they were beaten for the second time in four days by Arsenal. Once again, the Magpies came to play football and once again they were ruthlessly punished for their audacity. Most managers...

    If You Can't Beat Them...

    The appointment of Fabio Capello as the new England boss is good news for the long suffering fans, but a sad indictment of the present standard of English football managers. At least when Sven Goran Eriksson was appointed, Roy Hodgson was in contention. This time round there wasn't a single...
  11. Ref watch - Wednesday

    Wednesday's man in the middle is Mike Thorpe from Suffolk. a regular choice for the bigger home pre-season friendlies at Southend. He is usually a steady official and averages between 2 and 3 yellows a match. Been a bit stingy with the reds (so far) this season. Last competitive match at the...

    Sad news for Sammy the Shrimp

    It's with great sadness and with a slight tear in my eye that I have to inform you that Robin Duncan the guy who started off Sammy the Shrimp has passed away. His years and years of involvement at Southend United with Sammy and hundreds of charity events and openings means we have lost a brave...

    OD - Week 4

    This week we line up against the same team that Nick played in his FC game. Unfortunately the match was over in just over a day and they played pretty much a reserve team so no additional fitness issues for them however a couple of their main players seem to be suffering anyway. Will play a...

    Silly Injuries

    We've all heard about footballers suffering injuries in rather unsual circumstances, ie Leroy Lita a few weeks ago, pulling a muscle in bed (his leg I'm talking about!!) etc.... Anyway, while I was having my usual dump before my sunday league game today, I felt a sharp pain in the left side of...

    The NFL thread

    Got my e-mail giving me my password for the Giants v Dolphins game at Wembley. Undecided whether I'll actually go, as its a fair bit of money for two teams I have little interest in, but I've until Wednesday to decide. I think a few people on here said they might be going. Watched the first...

    BluesWorld Woes(The sequel-A cautionary Tale)

    Coming back to Spain yesterday ,refreshed and suntanned, after a month's holiday in the South of France and Crete, I was of course further uplifted by our recent excellent results against Millwall and Watford. So, in a momentary lapse of reason, I decided to renew my lapsed subscription to Blues...

    HT Cup

    I've been well and truly screwed. Winless in the second toughest IV, and already suffering an injury crisis, I suffer a 4-2 defeat to an inferior team who I beat in pretty much every stat. To make matters worse I lose a further two players through injury. What is the point in hiring...

    An Appeal!!!

    Hi all, Many of you may have read the front page of Tuesday's Evening Echo about little Josh Tippett who is 20 months old and is suffering from cerebral palsy, epilepsy and 70 per cent brain damage after his heart stopped when his mother went into labour. I am trying to raise money to help...

    Bad news for Essex

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/cricket/6676739.stm Both Mervyn Westfield and Maurice Chambers are suffering stress fractures of their backs and are pretty much out for the season. I was hoping for big things from these two England under-19 bowlers. Westfield in particular had impressed me...
