    Cheer up you miserable sods!

    This whole board is so depressing at the moment, "Tilly out", "brush and tilson are clueless", "this player's cack, I'd play this team" etc etc etc. So much bitching and whining, it may as well be the school playground!! Cast your minds back three...

  2. Its gonna hurt but................

    So another away defeat our winless run continues and we are now 9 points away from safety at this early stage in the season. We are struggling to attract the players required to get us out of this mess and as much as a win might get us going where will the win come from? We all keep saying why...

    Shambolic.....

    I have never ever posted a negative post on here........ ......until now. Frankly the defending is an absolute embarrasment. Just look at the goals we have conceded this season. Virtually all of how goals against, and watch the video evidence, sees at least one, but usually two or three...

  4. A new Manager

    I have read all the posts regarding Tilly, his SUFC employment, his Norwich, Ipswich and WBA approaches and i don't want to add any fuel to this saga. However the general obvious consensus is that should Tilson continue in the successfull vein for the forseeable future he will no doubt move...

  5. League Cup

    OK all eyes are on the Hawthorns this weekend, but does anyone care about the League cup? other than putting one on Brighton.. Do all the big teams come into the next round..? whilst an away tie at the Emirates against the Arse 3rd team would not attract the attention of the Nation, it would be...

    What do you all expect,

    Good old uncle Ron is obviously still using the 700 quid a week Leon Constantine wage structure so we can only attract the league 1/2 players ala Matt Harold etc. Looks like we are striving for a big new stadium with no one to go in it, and quite honestly Paynter and the new boy will prove to be...

    Tilly Tonight

    Suffolk Shrimpers were at Portman Road tonight. Sat next to the England dugout in the second half, Tilly looked calm and collected. He bought some drinks into the dugout from the tunnel at half time, said 'Oi' to attract Jerome to stop him warming up so he could be brought on as sub...

    10,000 crowds at Roots Hall

    Noticed on the Official Site that Southend are confident of getting 10,000 gates for most home games this season. With 6,500 season ticket holders and 1,200 away fans (Stoke have only been given 1,200 tickets & I can see most clubs bringing their full allocation) we need to attract 2,300...

  9. Goater's replacement?

    Purely as a replacement to Goater (ie, experienced/old, half-decent, holding-up-the-ball-up type player), who is there and who could we honestly attract? Tommy Mooney? Shipperley? Horsfield?

  10. cheating for money

    Hello I am not a professional, but I have known that there are the definite vulnerabilities in the work of some casinos, gambling-houses you can make a profit you can get a bonus in some casinos, so you give 100$ and you get 200$ so they attract clients Following, I will describe a...

    We Need That New Stadium

    It does not need me to tell all the fans out there. If we are to sustain our exhulted position (we are going up)and be able to attract the calibre of players required, without the extra capacity and revenue, I fear the worst (and Lord help CU should they get promoted - their proposals for a new...

  12. For the stat anoraks

    Looks like we will have attendances in excess of 11,000 for a final 2 home games and that means the average attendance for all league matches will be above 8,000 for the whole season I think a huge well done should be directed at all the non playing staff that have worked so hard to attract...

  13. How others see us now...

    At the start of the season, a certain Northern manager was claiming "we should be beating the likes of Southend". Now, unless I am mistaken, we have been ceded the title by Swansea. I can see no reason why they would let us have Mcleod unless they no longer felt they could catch us at...

  14. Summer Transfer Targets

    I personally think Tilly might go back for someone like Darren Byfeild in the summer and maybe wrap up the JCR deal for a reduced fee but who in your opinion is/should Tilly try and attract to the Hall?
  15. Interpol Shrimper

    Doncaster Rovers

    Source: BBC News I fully trust Tilly & Brush's judgment but this is the sort of player we maybe need to try & attract. He's the kid who scored the goal that basically got Rangers through to the Super16 of the Champions League. Will be one to watch when Donny come down to Roots...

  16. Remember All Those Weeks Ago...

    ... When we said the size of our squad would come back to haunt us? With only 14 fit professionals we are seriously screwed going into the busy, tiring Christmas period. I Just hope that what Uncle Ron said, about money being in place for transfers, is true and that we can attract players of...

  17. Roots Hall racism problems?

    I was thinking about racism problems that sometimes pop up at football matches the other day, and I honestly can't remember hearing of any from Southend fans in the 22 years I'e been following the Shrimpers. I know Lewis got some abuse at Chester last year, but that was from opposition...

    Good article, double spread. Salient points: Blues still owe £4.4m to Delancey. RM not worried and we don't pay rent, discussions about which are ongoing. He is striving to buy Delancey out and hopes negotiations will reach a satisfactory conclusion quickly, with further developments soon...

  20. Centre Of Excellence

    Yesterday, ASHRIMPER made an observation that he / she would prefer the CoE be scrapped and the extra 50p a ticket increase for this season used to fund player purchases. Whilst I defended one or two of the players coming through, a very good point was raised.  It's a great idea, in principal...
