    Atmosphere at Roots Hall - Part Two

    I am not on here to have a go at anyone , but I thought that the atmosphere was pretty cack again yesterday . From where I sit in the SSU I could here more noise from the relatively small band of away fans than anywhere else - Only twice could I hear the Blue Voice Brigade . Maybe it was to do...

    Euro English

    The European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the European Union rather than German, which was the other possibility. As part of the negotiations, the British Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and...

    Thoughts on Ipswich

    Without wanting to dent the enthusiasm that has arisen on here, I think we've played much better this season and been soundly beaten. How Ipswich didn't score is something of a mystery to me but if endeavour is enough to win football matches then we surely deserved this game. My biggest...

    Southend United - How far have we come? Part 6

    “We’ve always said from the start that we’re not long-term football club owners.” In the middle of December 2004, Colin Wagman of Delancey Estates revealed that he had been approached by Ron Martin with the view to sell the company’s 50% stake in Southend United. Delancey had invested heavily in...

    A positive post

    Might as well set up a post where people can mention some of the big positives they have taken so far from this season. My biggest positive is the performance of our wingers and especially Gower. I'm not saying that Gower has overshadowed JCR but I thought he would struggle this season...

    Alternative Evening

    Unable to get to Palace this eve but having spent three years at Uni in Plymouth in the early 80's I decided to pop down the road to see Argyle at Layer Road. Some observations: - Argyle were c r a p, no idea going forward, Hayles was a donkey, and long ball was their only real idea. -...

    Mark Gower

    Not sure i would EVER say what i am about to, having been a Gower critic for a long long time.....I think the guy deserves a massive "big up" for his performances recently. Damn fine strike for his goal last night, and also caused chaos nearly all night. His goal celebration was great...

    Our older fans

    There was a thread on here a couple of weeks or so ago, entitled, "Our younger fans". The general consensus, I recall, was that tehy tend to be mouthy and have two catchphrases along the lines of "day-tripper" and "Stand up, if you love Southend". Well, no-one can...
  15. Desire to win

    I don't want to get too negative here but why are we suddenly lacking the desire to win. For the last few games now we have simply been outfought. I regard that as the ultimate sin for a footballer. If we are beaten by a better side then fair enough. I can take that on the chin as long as...
  16. Season's Ratings

    The Bluebelles (8): Maturing nicely now, I'm sure we'll see even more development next season. Service in the Far Post Bar (7): Better than last year by a mile. Food at Roots Hall (No Mark): I didn't dare try it. The Chairman (7.5): Time will tell for sure, but I think we've...

    If we insist on aiming for a target man,

    I know that Drewe can do no wrong with most of you but lets face it he aint that great in the air, has a poor first touch and can"t hit a cows............. in front of goal. Last year he was down the pecking order and was on the virge of a transfer request, this year he is part of the 1...

    Sponsors' Evening

    Went to the sponsors evening on behalf of the SUFC Exiles last night for our sponsorship of Leon Cort's shirt last season.  A most enjoyable evening it was too! Brian Wheeler said that Dave & Marisa would give us the signed shirts of our sponsored player and introduce us to the player... so I'm...
