  1. Question Who are they to say we cannot DREAM the DREAM!

    I was incensed to read that a certain Roy Donaughie and Ipshite say we are punching above our weight.What right have they except freedom of speech, wasnt it just a few short years ago Swansea were gighting relegation from the 2nd division into the conference.I bet their supporters then were...

    Dan Bentley

    Looks like a few fans have finally complained to Bentley about his incessant retweeting of silly kids saying that he should be playing in goal. He's deleted some of them and apologised, saying that it wasn't meant in a vindictive or bitter way. Hope he's learnt his lesson, very unprofessional.
  3. My First Game....

    Can anyone help me? I am sure my very First Southend game was a friendly against Gothenburg in the late 80's. I remember watching under the lights in the Paddock (remember that?) and there were loads of goals. Can anyone remember this game and confirm this game took place and wasn't a figment...

    Question Bobby Moore's time at Southend.

    Morning, Bit before my time was wondering what Bobby Moore's time as manager was like? Was he a popular choice at the time? What went wrong? I gather it wasnt a very good time for club? Cheers DtS
  5. Sturrock has Balls

    Hats off to the manager last night. We could also the ball wasnt sticking up front and Corr was needed. He made a crucial decision which probably got us through. Not many premiership managers would have done that.
  6. Smith - enough is enough

    Now I am always willing to give people the benefit of the doubt, but enough is enough. 9 guys gave their all today, but Paul Smith has cost us again today, like he did on tuesday. How can a big keeper be so timid? He should be commanding the 6 yard box, if not the penalty area. Yes, he is a...
  7. Jacket left at Chesterfield

    A navy jacket was left in the ground at Chesterfield yesterday, I expect some young lad suddenly felt warmed by the 3 points :smile:, I past it on to the trust as it wasnt anyone who was on the TZ coach and they will have it at their stand in the bar at Roots Hall
  8. Smith's penalty save

    Question Best goalkeeping display ever ?

    Last nights performance from Paul Smith was unbelievably brilliant. He made so many World Class saves you could see that Brentford were starting to think it wasnt their night despite 90 minutes shooting practice. If you were at Griffin Park to see it , was this the best goalkeeping display...
  10. Thoughts on Woody?

    Glad he started today. With what we had in our squad I thought he was the best suited to replace Mkindawire, but wasn't sure Sturrock would go down that route. I always reserve judgement on our youth coming through and by that I mean I don't jump up and down after a good performance...

    Smith

    For God's sake this is getting ridiculous. The stuff I heard in the East Blacks today was priceless... No-one said anything after his fantastic quick distribution in the first half with a great kick to Tomlin who took on the defender and had a great shot. However, after their 1st goal, which...

    Is This Correct Or Lefty PC Gone Mad?

    I was talking to a friend of mine. She is a teacher, and happened to mention Israel in one of her classes. A muslim child took exception and told the her that there is no such place, and that it should be called Palestine. She then explained that Israel is recognised as a country by the UN, and...

    FM 2013 Thread

    Purchased this at the weekend and it arrived yesterday. Either my computer is getting worse or these games are taken up more and more capacity! Short of buying a new computer I have started a new game as England manager because I figured with less news and game time I would get on a lot...

    Question Overhead Kicks

    I was listening to Radio 5 last night after the England game, and they were talking about Sweden's fourth goal. Someone said that it wasn't the best overhead kick they had seen, and people should look on YouTube for Trevor Sinclair's for QPR. I did, and whilst doing so I came across this...
  15. Sturrock & Eastwood

    Fully believe now that Freddy wasn't a Sturrock signing. How on earth can he leave a player like Freddy on the bench today, it beggars belief and it annoys me that we are seemingly going to use such a talented and creative player so sparingly whilst bringing on untried kids like Clarke-Harris...
  16. Question Gary Hooper ?

    I read in a paper today that both Liverpool and Newcastle are interested in signing Gary Hooper come the January transfer window. I wondered him being an ex Southend reject ,Did the manager at Southend at that time have any idea on a players talent , after all he wasnt the first one he let go...
  17. Shrimpers are Magic

    Neil Harris - has the move been successful?

    I'm a big fan but in the cold light of day do people think this has been a successful venture for either party? I so wanted him to do well and frankly shut the mouths of some on here but it is now looking like age and injuries are really taking there toll on him. I just don't see him being a...

    Barry Fry

    Seems like we could be up against him in Pre Season, as its rumoured he's interested in the available job at The Daggers! I haven't heard anything about it myself, but their board is full of posts about him and it's supposed to have been mentioned on Sky Sports News.
  19. TV Highlights A Tale of Two Substitutes

    Extensive highlights from Sky Must say I wasn't happy at the highlights shifting from the Beeb but my cynicism was unjustified, Sky are providing good coverage so far.

    Mohsni

    So as far as I can see no one paid any money for Mohsni This means he is still a Southend player and under contract for 1 year. We were offered £150 000 from West Ham and turned it down. I would imagine we thought that offer would be improved upon but sadly it wasn't. I have not heard any...
