  1. Red Card Roy

    Finally got round to reading the above while on holiday in Spain, and a fascinating read it was too. Apologies if this book has been covered before, but the following caught my eye ; McDonough thought that that Dave Smith was ‘a nervous odd bod’ who he described as ‘Mister Magoo’ (he was sacked...

    Vale struggling for players

    Just seen this on a vale forum, looks like they are struggling. And for probably the first time this season we have practically a full strength squad available and also competition for places etc. I actually feel like we have a geniune chance of a good run coming up. Valiants short of numbers...

    SZ's Southend United Hall of Fame - Dave Smith (2nd ballot)

    Up for election to the SZ Southend United Hall of Fame is manager Dave Smith. Smith came incredibly close last time, missing out by just 0.26%. Will he fare better at his second attempt? Here's what I wrote last time: ---------------------------------------------------- This poll is really a...
  4. Pubs for Tomorrow's Game

    Where are people heading for a few drinks before the game? We're going down on train and will be there midday, just checked map with pubs on it and they have a Yates and Hogshead very close to both train station and ground. Gotta be heading to one of them watch the Cricket Essex vs Hampshire...
  5. Best pub to watch the football in Southend?

    I'm flying home tomorrow morning for the game and will be pretty much going straight to the pub to watch the two games before the main event. But I'm not really sure where to go. In 98 I saw most of the big games in Saks. In 2002 it was a packed Route 66 and in 2006 was a combination of Yates...

    SZ's Southend United Hall of Fame - Dave Smith

    This poll is really a week or so too early. The date of this poll should be 01 May, because that is the date for which Dave Smith will forever be associated with the club, for it was on 01 May 1981 that his side claimed the club's first major trophy* with a 1-1 draw against Rochdale. Dave...

    Come on ladies - time for the FITTEST XI to play for the Blues!

    It doesn't seem as if anyone has run this idea through in recent times at least so let's see what we can come up with to counterbalance the UGLIEST XI and come up with a team of drop dead hunks! GK - Flavs, obvious really although Neil Freeman was pretty hot too back in the days. RB - Has to...
  9. A Saints view

    Just back from Southend, I would say overall you were good for your win, you battled and won most of the 50/50 balls and it was 2 great finishes which gave you the win, I would have said a draw would have been a better result, but hey ho, that's football. Our players looked lazy, I...

    TV Celebs~ Then and Now

    ORM revealed in the song title association thread how he used to have a mass debate over Kathy Hargreaves. I remember her, she was much better than Jimmy Hill chin Trisha Yates. Anyway, here's an article about ORM's Jizz thing, and well I reckon she's one for Dave The Shrimpers Rough bird thread...

    Squad Strengthening

    Despite last week's two great results and our good league position I think it's time we added a couple of new faces to the squad. We know we have a small squad and a couple of injuries and inevitable suspensions and we're knackered. I recall getting in Steve Yates and Gerry Fell...
