Omens again?

An 81 year record broken by an 81st minute goal. On the way to 81 points?

Interesting

Am I right in thinking that Southend United have only once finished a season in first place? Could anyone remind me what year that was? I'm not entirely sure...

I don't think 81 points will be enough to join the 1981 team's first place (if it was still 2 points for a win, well.....)

This team keeps breaking records, the 17 unbeaten in all comps, now 8 straight in the league, would love to think they could go on to emulate the '81 side and win a league championship.

Could we get Chas 'n' Dave to do a re-recording 'It's Lucky for Blues when the numbers 81'?

And have we got any 81 year-old ex-players who perhaps ought to be playing again to test out the theory?

May not be enough for automatic promotion but it'd get a playoff spot.

We can only hope...!

8 games won and we've equalled the record.
1 more and we've beaten it.

You gotta love 81.

Er...no! The record was 7 successive wins so we've already beaten it. I'll settle for an 8-1 win at Doncaster!

I noticed in the West (W Block) that three people sat in front of me had followed Tilly's lead in not getting his hair cut until we lose except they had applied the same rule to having a wash. Anyone else adopted any superstitions that make people sititing around you want to vom?

Oh bugger.

Trust you to let some facts get in the way of a really nice argument!!

8-1 win for us at Doncaster it is then.
