    Francis or Sankofa?

    You know who you are that support the latter. What a contrast today, Francis whips in dangerous balls, hits the bar from a free kick and generally gets up and down, aiding an attacking Blues home performance. Who is brave enough to admit that Francis should have been playing in the team for the...

    SZ's Southend United Hall of Fame - Ricky Otto

    Next up for election to the Hall of Fame is Ricky Otto. Ricky Otto had it all: skill, flair and funny looking hair. He was signed by B****y F*y for £100,000, a fee that seems suspiciously high for a Leyton Orient reserve. I won't make any libellous suggestions about brown envelopes...

    Question Lee Trundle

    Leeds don't look like renewing his loan - 1 goal in 10 games and not featured in the last 4 matches. So the question is, as we are looking for an attacking left-sided midfielder could he do a job for us or is he past it ?

  4. Grant in the centre of midfield

    Today we saw Anthony Grant play easily his best game for Southend... in centre midfield. Now when he arrived at SOuthend it was clear he poses little attacking threat, yet we play him right wring ahead of Francis who clearly is the best crosser of the ball we have here. However because TIlson...

    Man found not guilty in attack on Tom Hopkins while defending friend Rob Knox

    I know Tom comes on here from time to time (but for the life of me I can't remember his user name) so just wanted to give some sort of public praise and support to him, for having to go through the ordeal again in court. He bravely did his best to help his friend in a vicious attack, which cost...

    Pick the team of the Tilson era

    Who would you pick in the team of the Tilson era? Mine would be Daryl Flahavan (one of only a few keepers we have seen under Tilson and some amazing performances) Duncan Jupp (his runs down the wing, his tackles, his goal v Lincoln to send us up) Adam Barrett (Southend legend, works his socks...

    Square pegs in round holes

    I, like everyone else was gutted we lost one nil at home to Crewe. They came for a nil nil, but exceeded their expectations and got a 1-0 victory with their only shot on goal, a free kick The first half we were awful. The second half was better, and i was pleased by the substitution of Laurent...

    Riley Wrecks Chelsea

    What is it about Liverpool - Chelsea? For the second year running the game was decided by the mistakes of a referee. Last year it was Rob Styles who gave Chelsea a penalty so soft that it was bullied at kindergarten, this year it was Riley who sent Frank Lampard off for the kind of routine 50-50...

    No Respect From Scolari

    Respect? Not at Stamford Bridge. Four wins on the bounce should be enough to cheer any manager up, but Luis Felipe Scolari still found reason to storm down the tunnel after his side's 2-0 win over Middlesbrough. It was assistant manager Ray Wilkins who was left to shake hands with the opposition...

    Having witnessed to many lack lusture and uninspiring performances of late , it just got me thinking , why doesn't tilly play 4-5-1 away from home to make us tougher to brake down and then if holding our own , bring on an attacking couple of subs , its not as though its a brave desicion in some...
