    Under-18s vs. Colchester

    The boys from the OS were at the match this afternoon, but I thought I'd post a short report here as the Under-18s moved to the top of the Youth Alliance South-East Conference with a narrow 1-0 win over Colchester United. The Shrimpers' only goal of the game was scored by 17-year-old attacker...

    Sheffield Wednesday 3 Southend 2

    Another game, another defeat. But this was a completely different game to the defeats at Sunderland, when we were simply outclassed by a quality team, and the home game against Palace, where both teams played poorly but Palace snatched victory. We started brightly with Maher releasing Foran...

    Helpful advice

    When I was 14, I hoped that one day I would have a girlfriend. When I was 16 I got a girlfriend, but there was no passion, so I decided I needed a passionate girl with a zest for life. In college I dated a passionate girl, but she was too emotional. Everything was an emergency; she was a drama...

    To those that thought all is was in turmoil

    Back in 2005, following our LDV cup defeat, we had the dubious privelege of a 'derby' match with Orient a few days later. Although we were far from outplayed, I don't think any Shrimper could have argued that there was much if anything betweent he two teams that contested that game...
  5. Tilly "The hairdryer"

    I have it on very good authority that Tilly had "very strong words" with the players at half time on Tuesday. I can't go into details but will say that apparantly this is most unusual for him, as it's not normally his style and caught the players by surprise. I think it is...

    Pathetic Excuses Version 2

    The man, who was brandishing a wooden baton, got into St Stephen's Primary School in Hales Drive, Canterbury, through a back door and threatened the children. Despite five 999 calls, no police officers were sent to the school. "We regret we did not better respond to the needs of St...

    Ambition

    I had a strange thought earlier today while looking at what Ron Martin said. I made a post on rivals after someone suggested an inferiority complex that it was a brand of realism based on the size of our club. We've only played at this level once in our career and hardly threatened the...

    Fly the Flag with Pride

    According to a report on BBC News, the outdated law banning the display of national flags in the UK is to be scrapped. It is currently illegal to fly a national flag without permission from the local council unless it is flown from a vertical flagpole. A change in the law will allow national...

  10. First time I've looked at the site...

    This is the first time I've looked since the game although I predicted Saturday night what I would read the usual sh!t about players being to blame and we're not good enough so I thought I would contribute towards the discussion. Earlier this season Doncaster beat Man City and Aston...
  11. Without Freddy...

    ...I'm afraid we looked very average today. I didn't think we'd miss him against such a side as Walsall, but we really did. I'm afraid there was no-one to grab the game by the scruff of the neck like he did last week. We worked very hard for no reward today, but nobody wins...
  12. Pete Doherty "manufactured" by the KLF!

    Sadly, just an unfounded rumour that's been circulating on t'internet for the past week. How great would it be if it were true though?
  13. All Manner of Problems at Forest

    Been going around the regular forums that at Saturdays match, one Season ticket Holder was ejected from the Ground for displaying a "Megson Out" Banner... When he later questioned this, he was threatened with arrest and made to leave. Since then he's been banned from the City...

    "Not responsible for them"

    Once more, the powers that be were on hand to stop people standing up within the ground. Whilst we all appreciate the fact that the ground is an all seater stadium and we should all be sitting down, the "lets look for easy targets" section of the stewards did their normal thing. I sit...

    Barrett's Birthday Cake Banter

    Adam Barrett: Another of the traditions at the club is that when it's your birthday you have to bring in cream cakes for all the boys. Last year Mark Bentley brought in the worst cakes ever, there weren't enough to be shared around and you had break them all in half to make sure...
  16. Dudfield

    Firstly, lets just get one thing straight. I was at Spalding to see Lawrie play for Peterborough. To say he was ineffective and poor is an absolute load of rubbish. Mark Wright had totally changed the team for the second half. The team was full of youngsters and more than likely, reserves...

    Yeovil Fans

    I noticed some Yeovil fans sitting with the Southend ones on Saturday. Good on them for that. Just wondered if anyone saw any Swansea fans aswell, given they also "threatened" to join us.
  18. Fighting

    Haven't seen a mention of this so i thought I would voice my disgust: Whilst walking back to our car on Sat after the game my friend and i having lost touch with the rest of our group including my 53 year old father were attacked by seven or eight Grimsby "lads".  We were walking back and a...
  19. DISGRACE

    the Grimsby fans at this match were a total disgrace!!!!, so were the police and security forces operating the stadium, why the hell were they aloud to stand around the edge of the pitch, this is asking for trouble. Also after the match when they ran onto the pitch they headed...
  20. What the papers say

    Telegraph "Southend were the sharper outfit for much of the game but despite an impressive show from Freddy Eastwood, signed from Grays Athletic, they had to swallow their second successive defeat in the LDV final." Times "Despite a record 17 matches unbeaten, Southend were a tad static and...
