  1. Whisky...

    Why does anybody drink this crap? I went on a bender last night with a few lads on my course to celebrate the end of our assignment season and I've never fet so rough in my life. Usually, by 5:30 i'm right as rain, but today i still feel like **** warmed up. Thus, i've come to the conclusion...
  2. View from the West Stand (family end)

    Just knew the day was going to be bad when we had to hand over two of our three cards. Nice to see programme price is the same again this season was expecting it to be at least 50p more, not sure if it is as good as last seasons though. Bit surprised at the selection up front, would have put...

    Preston v Southend - match report

    Sorry, it's a bit late but this is the first chance I've had to do the official SZ match report for yesterday. It is often said in football that the true test of character of a team is how they bounce back from a demoralising defeat and if a vast majority of supporters were highly critical...

    A Sad RH First??

    Did anybody else notice that the linesmen were on the different halves of the pitch & that the subs warmed up on the South Bank side of the halfway line? Does anybody know why this was (or cares?!) All I know is it was nice to see the subs & give the lino a bit stick for a few dodgy call!!!

    ****nal youth

    Went to see ****nal youth team last night, as they were playing at the Emirates, and it was an easy opportunity to cross that ground off the list. Now, seeing as usually they would play their games on a field at ****nals training ground, but as the first team are away in Holland, they were...
  6. Sunderland Away - The Shrimper Truth

    The Shrimpr Truth - Sunderland away - Hundreds of Shrimpers made the long, arduous and expensive journey into one of the most historic traditional football heartlands and from before the kick-off in the beautiful Stadium of Light the pride and passion of Southend United FC was truly...

    the wonder that is tilly

    At the tender age of eight my father took me to the Hall.The waft of cigarrette smoke,old boys with their collars turned up,those misty,freezing winter nights warmed by tea and hot pie.Stepping away from the wall running along the front of the west stand so that i could see over it,i would...

    The fbm view

    Pre-season friendly results don't mean much.  Everyone says so, and even Tillys pre match notes stressed this point. Of course, it's very easy to say this if you win.  But whilst the result may be relatively meaningless, I defy anyone to claim that they are not inwardly just a little concerned...

    Interview with Dave Smith

    Gary Nelson was never really aware that the fans never warmed to him, mind you he was just a young lad at the time. The ebst player I signed/coached was Alan Foggon up at Newcastle United. Well,he was never the same player down at Roots Hall and I never did understand why.!&#33...

    Pukka Pies, Don't Compromise

    Tis about time Anglia TV warmed up to the idea that Fry and Brazil are dull beyond belief and that poor old Piper will get sorrily pi$$ed off soon trying to keep the show going. Bring back the fans. Maybe they will do a special to celebrate our promotion. Would be nice then to see a...

    Half Term Report

    Just thought as we are now half way through the season that i'd enlighten you all with a half term reprt on the team from my point of view. Flahavan - Darryl is relaible and dependable as ever, saved us several points at the start of the season, but, I still think we have got to find better if...

    Most horrendous drinking game

    Having taken part in yesterday's one man, one crate, one day and spent most of the time feeling like death warmed up interspersed with fear of sicking on rollercoasters, I tried to think of some of the worst drinking games I've ever done/seen. OMOCOD, for me, ranks right up there...

    the fbm view and ratings

    I relied on my trusty Sat Nav system to get me to the ground (despite my C********r adventure) and got there at 2:00 having set off from Leigh at 11:30 (petrol stop en route).  Not bad. Having nabbed the parking space next to the away entrance (and reversed in, making for a quick getaway) we...

    Griemink 7 - secure as ever, my only criticism would be that he and Eagle seemed to lack an understanding at the back, hopefully this will improve as they get use to playing alongside each other Hunt 7 - quietish game, but did everything asked of him Wilson 7 - one of his better games, a...

    the fbm view and ratings

    Tilly said it wouldn't be pretty. Bentley said it would be ugly. Neither were lying. Chester have to be the most cynical side I have ever seen at the Hall.  I would hate to have to watch that rubbish every week and they started time-wasting in the first few minutes.  Every time they got the...

    The fbm view and ratings

    Saturday August 24 1996 was one of my most depressing days as a Blues supporter since 1969. We were unceremoniously thumped 5-0 at Oxford's Manor Ground in what was one of the most uncommitted and pathetic displays I have ever seen from a Southend team. Fences were still up and I think the...

    Chrissy Powell

    From Football365 Rumour Of The Day 'Liverpool's rivals are now openly ridiculing the Kop squad’s bungling Champions League bid. Charlton defender Chris Powell was heard singing ‘Champions League, you’re having a laugh’ as his side warmed down after Monday’s 1-0 win at Anfield' – The Sun

    Saw Athlete at Brixton on Saturday and have to say they were absolutely amazing. I really like the album (a typically English record following the Kinks, Small Faces, BritPop lineage) and was looking foward to seeing how the songs came across live. The crowd were totally up for it and were...
