  1. Craig Fagan/Danny Guthrie

    Just seen that Fagan's leg got broken after that atrocious tackle hack by Guthrie. I really hope The FA come down on him after that, frustration isn't an excuse, that was appalling.

    Ashley Should Hide Now

    Kevin Keegan was not simply the manager of Newcastle United. In the eyes of the supporters he was a hero, an icon, a leader and an inspiration. His sacking will not be treated as another turn of the managerial merry-go-round, it will be felt like the killing of a monarch. You have to visit...

    Civic Centre Car Park

    For those of you like me who used the above mentioned car park last season & before, how many saw the blatant p!ss take by our penny pinching council? They have now introduced parking fees for what used to be a free car park. The new fees go: 1 hour 80p, 2 hours £1.50, 4 hours £4.00! I might...

    Arsenal v Reading

    Arsenal returned to winning ways at a freezing cold Emirates Stadium with a convincing 2-0 victory over a Reading side who are nose-diving at the worst possible time. Only a combination of fine goalkeeping, desperate clearances and Arsenal's own profligacy prevented this from becoming a...

    Arsene Wenger will have just one question on his mind

    As he surveys the wreckage of a promising season that has gone horribly, horribly wrong, Arsene Wenger will have just one question on his mind. What changes need to be made this summer to avoid ever having to go through that again? The first thing everyone connected with the club needs to do is...

    Today's Ref

    What a c***! This bloke was clueless!! I know that Mick had warned us that he was crap but you always live in hope that they may have a decent game for once. No chance, this guy was a complete joke and embarrasment. I'm not saying the guy was biased either way because he wasnt, but his decision...

    Chelsea scramble through

    Chelsea scrambled into the semi-finals of the Champions League with a 2-0 victory over Zico's Fenerbahce that was anything but comfortable, either for the club or for those unfortunate enough to be watching. The continual criticism of their minimalist style of football can be tedious, but you...

    The Grand Slam

    The tension that has been slowly building all week is now approaching critical mass. The clock is ticking down to Grand Slam Sunday and the mind games have begun in earnest. This is what football is all about and I love it. Mind you, I don’t support one of the big four, so I can settle back and...

    Chelsea get through

    Chelsea became the third English side to book their place in the Quarter-Finals of the Champions League and they did it, not by boring their opponents into submission, but by smashing them to pieces with a performance that, strange as it may sound, was as beautiful as it was efficient. Avram...

    The fbm report - Millwall

    Folks, As I'm not quite sure what time I'll get back tonight in order to post this on the front page, it is not fair to deny fbm his readership - or to deny you his pearls of wisdom - so here is the fbm report for the Millwall game, which will hopefully go up on the front page tonight. * * * *...

    Time Running Out for Rafa

    Time Running Out for Rafa I’ve never been entirely sure about Alan Curbishley. He never seems to be the kind of man who can turn a game, the motivational dynamo who can lift the players, or the tactical genius who can outwit the greats. I’m not still not sure he’s any of the above, but he’s...

    Chicken Out

    Hi guys, as red blooded football fans I realise I might be flogging a dead horse, but I'm sure as Southend fans we are all well aware of the issues of cruelty.:p I keep chickens myself and am signed up to Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstalls Chicken Out campaign (you may have seen the progs on tv)...

    The fbm report - Bristol Rovers

    Neither myself or Matt have had the chance to upload this yet, so I'm putting it on the forum for the moment. BLUES CLUELESS AS ROVERS RETURN WITH POINTS Southend produced one of the worst displays in recent times as they slumped to yet another home defeat – this time to a lowly and very...

    We need to move on - quickly

    Ok lets face it , its been a rotten Christmas with only one point when we might have hope for 7. Yesterday's performance was quite frankly appalling . In fact it was the worst away display I have witnessed since , well , Swansea . But on the positive side alot of our promotion challengers...

    Another Bravura Effort From A Section Of Our Support

    In admidst all the good vibes around at the moment due to our recent recovery, yet another depressing tale from an element of our support. After having received so many good wishes and welcome backs from so many people in the pub after my involuntary visit to the hospital Chipper and I settled...

    South Stand Closure AGAIN

    Is it on that SUFC's stadium manager has again decided to close the South Stand for the Daggers game? Season ticket holders in every other stand have their seats reserved but if you are a mug who pays exactly the same for a seaso in the South Stand, you have to put up with the dregs seats in...

    Hammers team today

    My brother-in-law has just heard on the radio (Essex FM) that West Ham are only playing 2 recognised first teamers today... Anton Ferdinand and Dean Ashton. If thats the case it is a very poor show indeed and an appalling time to announce that bearing in mind all indications have been that they...

    Prison and Human Rights

    Saw on the news that due to overcrowding Norwich Prison are being forced to reopen a wing they only closed 5 days or so ago due to the so-called appalling conditions and human rights 'activists' (God I hate that word) are getting all ****y. Now assuming this doesn't include remand cases where...
