  1. Ref Watch ........ Kettle at Aldershot

    As we look to end a winless run in the League against Aldershot which stretches back 23 years (when we did the double over them 5-0 both home and away (Dave Crown got 5 of the 10 goals)), tomorrow's man in charge is the loose cannon that is Trevor Kettle. Or, rather, Wing Commander Trevor Kettle...
  2. Just thought of something...

    Lets say this Tuesday Bradford lose/draw against Bristol Rovers and Exeter lose away against Rotherham.....then Southend win away at Rochdale! After this happens, Exeter lose away to Wimbledon on saturday and Bradford lose/draw against Chesterfield....then Southend beat Bristol Rovers at home...

    Hinckley United

    My mate supports Hinckley. They also have a crap chairman who doesn't pay wages. I've seen them play. They are awful but they have to field kids because the seniors aren't paid. anyway they've just broken an unwanted record...

    The Late Kick-off

    Anyone else stay up for TLKO last night? What a joke "regional" programme this is.Of course there was no Wembley special featuring our first ever visit there, though tbf they did discuss and approve of the "decision" for Phil Brown to lead the team out on Sunday, along with showing the Bradford...

    Bradford perspective

    Evening me old southern softies Not a bad game today thought you played some good stuff at times- Tomlin looks a threat and tbh you looked to play football kept it tidy and tried to play the game in the right way which in the first half we didnt do- we played aimless and long and you didnt give...

    Official Match Thread Bradford City v Southend United

    So the first match under the command on the new manager is just over an hour away. What do we think the score will be chaps? Team news to follow shortly.

    Phil Brown comments on match

    Brown: "We've got a behind-closed-doors game on Tuesday which will give some players a chance of minutes before Wembley." Expand Reply Retweet Favorite More Southend United ‏@SUFCRootsHall 20m Brown: "Lund, Tomlin and Hurst have come out the injury room and are all in the squad."...
  9. Ref Watch ....... Bradford City A

    We have had three red cards in our last two games at Bradford City, which, co-incidentally, were both Fridays too. Against that background, we have referee Steve Rushton from Stoke who got his season off to an absolute flyer with an amazing eight reds in his first eleven matches. In his fourth...

    Pre-Match Thread Bradford v Southend

    So he's finally here and Friday's trip to Bradford will be the man from Del Monte's first game in charge. Some of our posters will be more aware of Brown's style of play, preferred tactics and formations, so what team would you expect/like to see? Can anyone see recalls for BBBC, Smith or...
  11. It all starts....

    With a nice Cheltenham loss away at Barnet on Saturday and then a nice loss away at Port Vale.....meanwhile Southend win away at Rochdale and then Bradford away........ IF CARLSBERG DID MIRACLES.....
  12. All At Sea Issue 43 - WEMBLEY CUP FINAL SPECIAL - Out now

    I hope the mods don't mind indulging me with this shameless plug. THE latest issue of All At Sea is brought to you with fanfares, bunting and champagne* as Southend celebrate reaching a Wembley cup final for the first time in their history. As the team managed to get this far, defeating League...

    All is not lost

    Even though we lost against Wimbledon which was a huge disappointment. If we win our next two games against Torquay and Plymouth then we could be 1 point behind Cheltenham (If they lose against Rotherham) and potentially equal with Exeter if they lose against Bradford. All is not lost people...

    Cup success and the price we are paying for it

    When Paul Sturrock has the time to reflect of this season, will he be ironically regretting the fact that his luck in Cup Competitions changed? It seems to be the fashion at the moment on here to furnish reasons for our expected failure again in gaining promotion from the basement...

    The run-in

    I was struck by a Staffordshire news report that said Port Vale still had to play Cheltenham, Burton and Northampton in their last 9 games and I thought it might be worth checking out the respective run-ins of the promotion/play-off rivals who are currently above us. I don't think we'll catch...

    Rivalries

    A very interesting post on another thread by southchurch gave the results of a survey in 2012 which listed who fans consider their main rivals to be. Here is the list. Lots of quite interesting bits in there actually. Crewe fans for instance can't think of a 3rd rival (I wonder if that will...
  17. Ref Watch ....... Wycombe (A)

    Tomorrow's man in charge is the loose cannon that is Trevor Kettle. Or, rather, Wing Commander Trevor Kettle based at RAF High Wycombe (!). This is his 10th season as a League referee and his matches have been littered with controversy and condemnation throughout. I am sure there is not the...

    Bradford -an example for us?

    http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/david-conn-inside-sport-blog/2013/feb/21/bradford-capital-one-cup Let's hope Bradford's cup success proves to be an example we can emulate.
  19. ARSEna

    How had Wenger not be sacked? 8 years without a trophy, beaten by Blackburn & Bradford. He must be the most teflon coated manager in the world. If I was a gooner (and thank god I'm not) I'd be holding my head in my hands and wondering why.
  20. Ref Watch ......... Northampton

    Tomorrow's referee is Graham Scott from Abingdon in Oxfordshire. He is in his 5th season as a Football League referee and makes his fifth visit to Roots Hall. (It would be his sixth, but the second didn't happen due to the appropriately Antarctic weather at the time.) The first visit was the...
