    Vegetarians

    My college are running a £50 competition for the best article for the college magazine. Whilst bored, I emailed them asking for a subject to write about - they replied with an article about 'Veggie Vision', and vegetarianism in general. Here's my effort I've just sent off, safe in the knowledge...

    Report of sorts

    They say to win promotion you have to win games where you're not at your best. I'm not sure what 'they' would have to say about a team that so rarely dipped in to their reserves of talent but still run in victorious. There was an air of empty anticiaption around Roots Hall - a misplaced...

    Southend: minus Hammell, plus Mulgrew

    To be honest, I didn't think we missed him that much. Mulgrew came in and plugged the hole admirably for a debutant. He got pulled out of position a bit too easil when Gray came on but then with Orient effectively playing 3/4 up the need for our wingers to track back was paramount which we...

    Wiggys Rating's

    Flavs 6 not much to do, no better and no worse than Collis in the air, regulation diving save, good kicking, felt much more secure with his concentration and awareness behind the defence. Hammell 6 done a couple of unwanted Maher type looping corners, defended adequately Hunt 8 much better, good...

    Tonight - Positives and Negatives

    Positives :- Tommy Black - MOM The geezer is immense, pace, vision, distribution, awareness, he has the lot and if he doesn't start on Saturday against a former club, Tilly is mad.. Sir Adam - As above, even playing out of postion he was class, he looks to have gained a few extra yards pace...

    The Luton Game On Saturday

    Yet again we concede three goals, and at home! Simply not good enough if you ask me. When was the last good match at home? Luton were already down and from the off you could tell they wanted it more than us. Compare Kevin Blackwell to Tilly. Blackwell on his feet encouraging his players...

    Back to basics.....

    O.K. everybody stop yer bitching,i wanna suggest a reformation of thought and logic starting with our game on EBH Monday.Right,firstly, our last two games and for many games this season we have shipped in too many goals in one game.Seven goals against us recently defies the term "professional...

    I Think I Want To Have Jcr's Babies

    Seriously JCR is fast becoming my favourite all time player. Never have i seen a southend player work so bloody hard and improve so much. His passing movement awareness and sheer will to win every ball and tackle was out of hand. Seriously the way he is playing at the moment is top championship...

    Southend United - How far have we come? Part 4

    “It was only four years ago that this club was losing £2.3m a season,” Ron Martin enthused as he published the accounts for the financial year ending July 2002 which showed that Southend United has lost “just” £707,665, the fourth year in succession that the club had reduced its losses. It was a...

    Muslim Fury

    Apparently the ragheads are now getting all upset because the 2012 London Olympics clashes with Ramadan, putting Muslim athletes at a disadvantage and preventing people from watching the games. Islamic Human Rights Commission chairman Massoud Shadjareh, said: "They would not have organised...

    West Brom Surprise

    Last week it was my birthday and, as a great (and huge) surprise, my missus found a brilliant way of getting me to the airport last Friday and handing me tickets to fly over for the West Brom game. I was stunned. All had been arranged for a long time with my brother. Before I knew it, I was in...

    Wiggy's reserve ratings,

    Sodje 8 solid as a rock, great aerial ability and bullet header of a goal, do we drop A.B, P.C or leave it as it is? Jay Smith 9 just what we are looking for, sublime defence opening perfectly waited through balls, god why doesn't he get a proper chance? Mitchell Cole 8 very lively...

    The fbm view

    BLUES SILENCE POMPEY CHIMES Unfortunately yet again I managed to miss the opening part of the match (this time 15 minutes) due to circumstances beyong my control, so cannot comment on anything that happened in that time, including Freddys early opener. Steve Tilson had started with what he...
  15. Pre-Season Report

    Steve Collis - Looks assured between the sticks and confident enough to handle himself at this level. Offers the height advantage Flahavan lacks and handles set pieces well. Can’t comment on his kicks as I haven’t seen him take enough. Darryl Flahavan - The usual from Flavs. Confident and...

    The fbm view

    Pre-season friendly results don't mean much.  Everyone says so, and even Tillys pre match notes stressed this point. Of course, it's very easy to say this if you win.  But whilst the result may be relatively meaningless, I defy anyone to claim that they are not inwardly just a little concerned...

    Fit Jay vs Fit M. Bentley!

    Not because M.Bently as left the club but IMHO a fit Jay Smith is a substancely better player than M.Bently! Two different players I no, but if they was playing opposite eachover Im sure you would see a big difference in there play, Jay always looks very comfortable on the ball, great...
