  1. French Football Fans

    Last weekend, a few of us went over to Lille for a night out and to catch a game. I wasn't too sure what to expect really; Lille and their opponents were both mid-table teams and the only household name in either squad was Pat Kluivert who was a sub for Lille. A bit like watching the...

    Is it me or do I detect some frustration

    Reading Paul Brush comments on the website the following comments caught my eye "we made an enquiry a weeks ago after Simon Francis' injury and for us a week is quite a quick transfer or temporary transfer in this case" "it will be good if we can have a close liasion with clubs like Arsenal...
  3. The jontosh2001 DEFENCE analysis!

    DEFENCE The good (or bad) thing about football and being a football fan is that statistics tend not to lie. Often you hear people saying that the stats "don't tell the full story", or "we are better than our position in the league shows", but this is often only justified in the very short...

    Letter to the Chancellor...

    Oops, looks like Mervyn has had to write to Gordon to explain why inflation this month is at 3.1%... clicky (pdf) Two thoughts: 1. Interest rates will be up again next month - watch out all those on anything other than fixed rate mortgages. 2. This paragraph leapt out: Why did CPI inflation...

    LCD TV's

    Bit of advice please from the techys on here. Almost 2 and a half years ago I bought a Panasonic Viera LCD TV. Recently (well basically since I had an inept Sky engineer round to fit a new Sky+ box) I've noticed there's a part of the screen which produces a kind of a shadow on certain colours...

    Southend United - How far have we come? Part 3

    "There will be no stadium at Fossetts Farm and the future of the football club remains at Roots Hall." A year after being ousted from position of chairman at Southend United, John Main returned to warn fans that a new stadium was merely a pipe-dream. His words, posted on a Southend United...

    The Turner Prize

    *.............* (insert your own expletive) What's up with these people. What exactly makes their pieces of 'art' any different and any more worthy than a splattering of paint on a piece of paper put together by a four year old at your local nursery? I've just listened to the...
  10. Steven Hammell

    I mentioned earlier I will only judge the new players after at least 10 games, cant be easy coming a long way, living in temporary digs and perform to your best. Well this guy gets better and better, the last 3 games he has looked quality, assured first touch, gets tackles in, joins up well...

    BRIGHTON ROCK AS LATE SHOW SEALS BLUES PASSAGE Southend made heavy going of their 2nd round Carling Cup tie against Brighton at Roots Hall this evening, but in the end it was a naive managerial decision by Albion caretaker boss Dean Wilkins that showed Blues the way.  Tilly had made 2 changes...

    Local Radio & SUFC

    You may remember some time back I mentioned a new local station coming to Southend borough soon, and how we should lobby Ofcom (through their public enquiry) that we need a station with good coverage of the Blues... Well, the four bidders for the licence have been announced, as follows...
  15. Just got to Preston after the blackburn v

    Well to start with the Blackpool game. The stadium is completely different to when we last went up there. David webbs comeback and we drew 2-2 scoring in the last minute. What's there at the moment looks quite smart. We were in a temporary stand a la gillingham, but along one side of the...

    Just thought i'd jot down a few points after my journey back to the U.K, i spent 3 weeks with friends and family and am now back in Australia. After 2 1/2 years of sun, ocean, surfing, barbies etc it was with some trepidation that my feet touched the ground at Heathrow in the ****ing rain 3...

    The Da Vinci Code

    Whilst reading the Da Vinci code I had a strange brainwave that has escalated into a quest of illuminati proportions. In the Autumn of 2003 Southend Unearthed the burial mound of a saxon king. This coincided with the placement of Tilson being named temporary manager and then manager of the...
