    Walsall

    A throughly well deserved draw for the super blues and it could have been 3 points! Excellent away following, approx 500 Shrimpers made the trip and out sung the very quiet home fans.  The Bescott is a pretty impressive ground with one very large double tiered stand behind one goal. Daryl made...

    Wakering, Tonight

    I know it was only Gt Wakering Rovers BUT: Jay Smith was pure class, when he is match fit Tilly is gonna have a real headache about who to play in midfield, albeit a good headache. Eagle scored with a 25 yard free-kick Jozic was solid, played the simple easy ball and hit the post with an 18...

    Same old doom and gloom merchants

    * RANT MODE ON * After two successful seasons with clear progress demonstrated both on the field and off the field there are still numerous people on here that seem to spend their whole lives looking for opportunities to criticise. Squad size, striker shortage, tickets, club shop blah blah blah...

    Doncaster

    crikey! This played in a team that got Sunderland promoted to the Prem, did a terrible rap in the dressing room afterwards and now he's dropped into League 1. Doncaster Rovers have broken their transfer record to sign Sunderland midfielder Sean Thornton. Rovers have paid £175,000 for the...

    Dudfield update

    From the Echo Launches scathing attack on Peterborough boss Mark Wright.  Says his man management skills are "a joke". Was due to play the second 45 mins of Posh's game but was subbed after only 25.  Nothing was said and then he was slated in the press afterwards. So, he has no club and on "a...
  6. Frank Lampard

    My estimation of this chap has risen somewhat considerably: From The Times Family struck by tragedy pay warm tribute to Lampard By Peter Lansley FRANK LAMPARD has won many awards this season and as he attends to the toe injury that has precluded his participation in England’s tour to the...
  7. All of those big on Firefox....

    2 days ago, there was an update needed for Firefox, so I allowed it to update itself. Followed all the instructions ie restart the computer etc so that the updates will work properly afterwards. When I try and load it again, a messagebox comes up telling me 'The program must close to allow a...

    3 Legends in one room.

    Easter Saturday as we werent playing I decided to go to see my mate from works team Hornchurch vs Redbridge. The game itself was quite decent at the Urhcins go a deserved 2-0 win. Anyway in the ba afterwards were some of my personal ex-southend heros. Saw Dave Martin and had a chat. Came across...
  9. Recording a Southend Song today

    I know that this is very short notice but there is a recording session this afternoon at about 1 or 1.30 at Belfairs School to record a Southend song which will be played at Cardiff and hopefully issued afterwards if the necessary permission is granted. Mick Gaster, a member of the Shrimpers...

    The fbm review and ratings

    A TALE OF TWO ERRORS AS FREDDY EQUALS RECORD Freddy Eastwood equalled the Southend scoring in consecutive matches record by hitting the net for the 7th game running as this league 2 encounter hinged on two errors in the first half at the Hall on this Good Friday. So often form goes out of...

    the fbm view and ratings

    It's difficult to know exactly where to start. Was the truly appalling refereeing decision that cost us a clear penalty to blame for us dropping 2 points at the Hall? Or was it Bentleys double miss in the last few minutes followed by Pettefers air shot? Or was it the fact that we were...

    Some Jokes....

    The train was travelling along when a beautiful young woman entered the compartment which was deserted except for a businessman reading his paper. The man peered over his paper and asked "Would you let me shag you for a pound?" "Certainly not!" exclaimed the young woman...

    ...is the main SZ report.  But I've posted it here anyway in case there are problems or delays in getting it up. A shape of things to come as Blues tied in Notts All of a sudden, people have begun to notice Southend and there have been some very decent and complimentary comments made about...

    I relied on my trusty Sat Nav system to get me to the ground (despite my C********r adventure) and got there at 2:00 having set off from Leigh at 11:30 (petrol stop en route).  Not bad. Having nabbed the parking space next to the away entrance (and reversed in, making for a quick getaway) we...

    the fbm view and ratings

    Tilly said it wouldn't be pretty. Bentley said it would be ugly. Neither were lying. Chester have to be the most cynical side I have ever seen at the Hall.  I would hate to have to watch that rubbish every week and they started time-wasting in the first few minutes.  Every time they got the...
  16. Yeovil Town v Southend United

    This is what I posted on another forum. My view of the game. Well, that could have gone either way! I thought Yeovil dominated the first half and could have had more goals. But the ironic thing is, our goal apart, you had the best chance through Wayne Gray. His pace (is he for real? Bloody...

    The fbm view and ratings

    Saturday August 24 1996 was one of my most depressing days as a Blues supporter since 1969. We were unceremoniously thumped 5-0 at Oxford's Manor Ground in what was one of the most uncommitted and pathetic displays I have ever seen from a Southend team. Fences were still up and I think the...

    The fbm view and ratings

    Two good sides, a good open game of football, and a welcome 3 points. Southend started the better and a great Pettefer cross found Gray in the area, but his goalbound header deflected off a defender for a corner.  However, shortly afterwards, Northampton got around the back and squared the ball...
