    Wordsworth and a new contract

    Full page article on the back of the Echo today where Wordsworth states that he loves playing for Southend but that contract talks have stalled because he doesn't think he is being valued as high as he should be. No doubt the Echo will publish the article on here today some time and, for...

    Need to sort out our away form!

    So last nights home win was our third on the bounce, 2 in the league plus the cup game. Our home form of late has been quite reasonable, the crowd have done well to get behind the team, against Millwall and again last night we were unlucky to go in 1-1 at HT but dug in and got three points on...
  3. Helllooo, Yellloowwws, Yelllowwwsss!

    HeyShrimpers, Nervous,very nervous! No, not at the very easy process of joiningShrimperzone, but the longing hope filled gazes at my phone. Waiting,waiting... will the ticket office call back with Morecambe tickets?! Is'ntit great that an essentially simple sport and supporting SUFC (I'msure we...

    Interesting article on life in L2

    This article has just been circulated by Supporters Direct, it paints a realistic view of life in L2 and taken in context, you can see that we're actually not that different to most other clubs in our league...

    British Lions series win

    So the news and Sports channels are going into meltdown as they always do after any kind of tub-thumping victory. As an only occasional fan of egg running, I'm all over the kudos and looking around me for any Australians to rub it in with, but it does all seem a little over-the-top. To any of...
  6. Chairman Trigg

    The easy way to a new ground

    First you get the tax payer or local council to fund the £600 million .........Then you pay 2.5% of the price for it.......and just to take the p*ss further pay a rent of the value of the left leg of crap premiership player £2m...............Now to put this in context If Southend council used...

    Anton Ferdinand loan move to Bursaspor

    How long before he encounters some racial comment with real threat and menace? Must say, I'm surprised he took a move to Turkey, they're not exactly renowned for their tolerance. Am sure it won't be too long before he'll take the context of what Terry allegedly said as actually not that...

    Otto and Dublin

    Dubber's first ever goal, and an Otto wondergoal http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8GwAA4N_oMU&feature=plcp&context=C497a909VDvjVQa1PpcFOR2sBlogql41BqjmKC8LrG81kZblJQrvQ%3D
  9. Chairman's Cheque book Needed

    Please read article from the Echo web-site, especially the bold bit News By Stephen Hackwell A LEADING Tory’s claims that single mothers, alcoholics and drug addicts are damaging Southend High Street have been branded “unacceptable” by fellow Conservatives. Anna Waite said big chain shops...
  10. Clarke and Francis

    It is the morning after the afternoon before. I have refrained from posting, or even logging on until now brcause the amount of negative posts and people screaming for people to be dropped depresses me. Sure, we were in the basement division losing 4-0 away to Darlington only 2 years ago, so...

    Jokes & Political Correctness

    Ok, here's one for you lot to get your teeth into. In today's climate of political correctness that invades our daily lives on a constant basis is there a limit as to how far a joke can be taken or a topic that is totally off limits? Leaving out ethnic racism and personal attacks -...

    Bradford fire

    I think we should all take a couple of seconds out today & remember the 56 victims of the Valley Parade fire which was 21 years ago today. There was a memorial service held in Bradford earlier this morning. I remember seeing the live pictures coming in from their (title-winning IIRC) final...
  13. Walsall's #25

    Was it only me who saw him intentionally aim an elbow at Maher's nose today? I think its about time officials brought context into decisions, for instance Local derby's are treated with a relative caution, so why not players who are carrying injuries? Aiming an elbow at a broken nose is...

    Racist or Placeist?

    Earlier in the season at the Hall (can't remember which game) there were 2 coloured linesman who both were bald and who both had chequered flags.  Consequently, in my review of the match, I made a comment about an appalling decision in each half by the linesman but said that I couldn't tell...

  17. Telegraph Report

    There really is more to Southend than the pier, jellied eels and white stilettos," insisted Southend United's centre-half, Adam Barrett, as he shared Football Focus reporting duties with Garth Crooks on Saturday. It was an overdue re-branding attempt on the back of the team's excellent start...
  18. Manager of the month

    From my calculations Tilly has missed out on a second month running, second to Andy Ritchie of Barnsley. Puts that result into context, the form team. Second is pretty good though so congrats Mr Tilson.
  19. Moaning, groaning, whinging, whining

    The context: We're 2-1 up, on the cusp of 6 straight victories, possibly going top after 11 games in a new division after promotion the year before. 2 years ago, I would have laughed long and hard at anyone that suggested this would be our situation now. YET, last night, I was sat next to...

    A Complaint

    What I am about to say is strictly off the record. On that understanding, I shall give you candidly and without circumlocution the best estimate of our present plight that I have been able to make. Before I start, however, I should state that to understand what Southend United's particularly...
