  1. Tilly on radio

    What game was he watching today(huddersfield), we dominated the second half, your having a laugh, he also went on to say that was their only real shot on goal they scored from and once they got that they didnt threaten us!!! They outplayed us for most part, once they scored they dont need to...

    Evening Wasted On Pointless Big Cup

    Through, but only just. Chelsea survived a scare to book their place in the next round of the Champions League, but their progression was anything from straightforward on another nervy night for Luiz Felipe Scolari. Roma's victory over Bordeaux meant that this result was academic, but there was...

    Interview with an Exile: Part 2 - GlasgowSUFC

    This week, Ricardo from Glasgow takes time to answer some questions on being exiled from Southend. Above is him at the Mill. Stad, 2005. 1) How long have you been an exile? A) I haven’t actually lived in Essex for over 20 years now but only have classed myself as a true exile for the 8...

    Shambles at St James

    Kevin Keegan has gone, Mike Ashley is going and the Toon Army can no longer be relied upon to fund the senseless destruction of their football team. Newcastle United are in meltdown, slumped near the bottom of the Premier League and now, thanks to this lacklustre defeat at the hands of...

    My Match Ratings

    I don't usually do this after games but i thought i would show how i rated the players' performances last night... Flahavan- 6- In all fairness he had nothing to do, there two shots on target resulted in two goals. Made a couple of good punched clearances and a couple of good catches...
  6. Shifts amendments

    Where I currently work, there are no set shifts, this hasn't always been like this. When I first started I knew what shifts I was doing week in week out. Ever since they got rid of the old assistant manager. The new assistant hasn't given anyone any set shifts. I always thought there was a law...

    My Ratings .........

    For what its worth Collis - 6.5- not at fault for the goal and done well when called into action Francis -6 Got caught out of position to many times in first half , but better in second half and composed on the ball. Clarke MOM - 7.5 Carried on from when i saw him at Gillingham , won...

    Tilson Canaries Poser

    When Norwich inevitably sack Peter Grant in the next month or so it will be interesting to see whether Tilson is shortlisted for the post again, and whether or not RM will again refuse the approach. Tilson was unhappy last season about not being allowed to speak to them, could a similar scenario...
  10. Tuesday Night Ratings

    Collis - 8 - looked comfortable all evening and although his kicking sometimes left a little to be desired, the speed he released the ball form his hands to the full backs to begin a counter attack was very good. Fantastic penalty save to take it to ET Gilbert - 6 - did OK tonight nothing more...

    Just got in and..

    if the scoreline sounds like we were good, I have to say our performance was worrying. There will be a call to bring back Bradbury but I honestly thought he didnt play well. 1st goal, well taken free header, 2nd goal a pen, 3rd was standing in the box unmarked just had to hit it. He just doesnt...

    Striker pecking order

    Having just read the thread regarding Paynter staying and fighting for his place , it had me wondering what the pecking order of our strikers would be and if any will be getting sold or pi88ed off sitting on the bench week in week out, for me in order it is Mcdonald= only seen glimpses of the...
  13. Leeds Season In Doubt

    Except from todays Yorkshire Evening Post Leeds United's new season is in serious doubt today after Ken Bates failed to head off a legal challenge at the city's High Court An appeal by Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs against the resale of United to Mr Bates and Leeds United Football Club Ltd...
  14. Constantfine

    Found this on a Stoke City forum: Just getting back to the car from the match today and turn the radio and listen for a while and a vale caller comes on. Usually i turn the radio down at this point because they talk absolute ***t alf the time. I left it though and he starts talking about big...

    Thoughts on the Game

    Outclassed and outplayed. As good as Tottenham were I was really disappointed with the performance today. We were so out of our depth it was embarrassing at times. Clueless when we had the ball and at sixes and sevens in defence when they came at us. Individually I thought the defenders did OK...

    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...

    Southend United - How far have we come? Part 2

    "This football club has lacked direction for a long time," Ron Martin told the Evening Echo's Bernie Friend in mid-September 2000. On the pitch Southend United were struggling at wrong end of the Third Division table, having notched up just one win from their opening seven games of the season...
  18. Norwich v Southend

    Carrow Road on Boxing Day will always be a bit special for me: it was there back in 1995 that I saw my first ever away win. Gary Jones crouching down at the far post to head in the orange ball at a snow covered Carrow Road. It was only my 27th away game. Sadly Blues' away form since we...

    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...
  20. match report

    Top point, very unlucky not to bring 3 back to the hall. Strong team display and Efe fitted well into the back four with Barrett pushed wide. Looked strong in the air and crashed a header against the bar from a second half corner. Maher hit the right and left posts with great volleys. Flavs...
