I'm going from Southampton via Germany. Flying out from Stansted to Cologne on Friday morning, heading to a town near Münster. Fly from Düsseldorf to Heathrow on Saturday evening, staying overnight...

The first final against Blackpool, about halfway through the first half it was I think, and people started singing "Stand up if you love Southend!". So we did. And then the realisation that you were...

The Final is different from the earlier rounds of the competition. If the scores are level after 90 minutes, there will be 30 minutes of extra time (just as we experienced against Wrexham in 2005)....

This pre-match thread could never come too early. How exciting is this, that we’re finally going to Wembley? I know I am not alone in saying that I have always dreamed of this moment and with the...

The stats appear to back you up on that, Kay.

Here we go, Bilel has played in seven consecutive League games since he served his suspension following his red card against Northampton. Our form in...

I think I may have to agree...... :smiles:

Does anyone know where he will be sitting?! I was hoping he might make an appearance on the pitch after the game so he could receive an ovation of thanks from all the fans who made the journey, much...

So, here it is, the battle of the Wembley finalists - surely the first time ever that a Fourth Division fixture has been played between two teams who have got through to different national cup finals...

Not much.

In the FA Cup, his best run came in Hull's debut season in the Premier League when he took them from the 3rd to the 6th Round, losing 2-1 to Arsenal at the Emirates. His only other FA...

On Monday 20 February 1989 - so 24 years and 1 week ago - we played IFK Göteborg in a friendly at Roots Hall and lost the game 4-2.

You're not imagining it...

This young man has earned himself a place in Southend history by scoring the goal that took us to Wembley in such dramatic fashion. Surely he deserves the chance to have his loan extended, to give...

Scannell certainly seems to be held in high regard in this article in today's Southern Daily Echo, particularly by his manager Richard Hill, who says:

Three weeks ago, The Football League Paper featured our 4th Division promotion-winning squad of 1989-90 in their Where Are They Now? feature. The article was based on Bernie Friend's book Red Card...

Absolutely right. We've played 32 League games so far. After the same number of games last season, we were in 3rd on 59 points. That's an advantage of 6 places and 12 points over where we are now. We...

We have in fact reached the 5th Round of the FA Cup four times in our history, with the most recent of those, as mentioned above, occurring 20 years ago now. The previous occasion when we got that...

ESPN are showing the Arsenal v Swansea replay. Our replay will not be live on TV. Whoever wins though has a very good chance of their match against Chelsea being broadcast live.

Sky are showing the Northern Area Semi-Final between Coventry and Preston on Thursday night. They are also due to broadcast the first leg of one of the area finals on Tuesday 5 February and the...

As it's the FA Cup, we have the right to claim up to 15% of the tickets for the match, provided they are in a fully segregated area. 15% of Griffin Park's capacity is around 1900, so the 1600 cpacity...

I have to agree with this...

As I mentioned elsewhere, the replay won't be live on TV. ESPN have only one replay to broadcast, on Tuesday 15 January, and if they don't move the Man Utd v West Ham game from the Wednesday, then...

So, it's a repeat of the 4th Round draw we had nine years ago. Back then, though, we couldn't manage to get past Scarborough in the replay to get to face Chelsea. We did go on to the LDV Trophy Final...

Tuesday 15 January.

Yes, Mark Pougatch got so excited by the prospect of a West London derby, he forgot to mention the small matter of Brentford having to get past the Mighty Shrimpers first!

I would say it probably was. The attendance overall is certainly our second lowest ever for a home FA Cup 3rd Round tie. The lowest was in 2007, when 5485 turned up to watch us draw with Barnsley. I...

Yes, that's right.



Yup, 22 years, 2 months and 2 days ago...

And two days later we played Aldershot (currently the only League Two team definitely through to this year's FA Cup 4th Round)...
