    The Cheltenham thread......

    Ah the perfect opportunity to lose all your well-earned. I'll kick off the proceedings by tipping the Irish trained Sublimity to win today's feature race, the Champion Hurdle. This is more by process of elimination than anything, but I just can't contemplate the favourite Detroit City winning...

    Today's Top Tips (Calendar 2007).

    This year I got the Blues calender as a gift from Dad of DtS. I think gradually the calender has gone down hill from the dizzy heights of David Crown's cheesy posing in a Mazda or Barrington Belgrave dressed as Santa in the back of a Ford Ka - Down to todays woeful offering. Last Thursday was...

    Time to Drop Freddy ?

    Thoughts please. FOR Best finisher we've had since David Crown Goal/game ratio still one of the best outside the Premiership Gets people out of their seats and that little ripple/buzz goes around the ground if he picks up the ball on the run 40 yards out Worked wonders last time it happened...

    Is golf rubbish?

    Following on from another thread, is golf rubbish? Personally I'd class golf alongside crown green bowls and basketball as one of the dullest sports ever invented. Marginally more interesting to play than to watch, its still IMHO a bit ****. I'd be interested to find out what the SZ verdict is.

    Southend United - How far have we come? Part 6

    “We’ve always said from the start that we’re not long-term football club owners.” In the middle of December 2004, Colin Wagman of Delancey Estates revealed that he had been approached by Ron Martin with the view to sell the company’s 50% stake in Southend United. Delancey had invested heavily in...

    The 10 types of drunken testing

    Shamelessly stolen from another forum but meh, it's so true... We have identified 10 distinct types of drunken text that you should all be familiar with: 1) The "fishing" text This text is normally along the lines of: "So what u up 2 later?" or "U out tonight?", or simply "Ocean?" Despite...
  9. Getting tickets for Spurs game

    First post. As I've 'emigrated' to London and am not one of the season-ticket holding elite I was unable to get an away ticket for the Spurs game. 'Not to worry' I thought, 'I'll just go into the home end and not wear my Southend top. Right, let's go to the Spurs...
  10. Charity Game This Sunday

    I hear that there is a charity game at Basildon United this Sunday featuring a Basildon ex pro XI and Dave Cusack, Peter Taylor, Bill Garner, Justin Edinburgh, David Crown, Gary Nelson and numerous others are pulling on their boots for a good cause. Kick off is at 1 o'clock.
  11. The jigsaw is complete

    I remember reminiscing with some fans a few years back (when you got used to watching McSweeney and co it was best to reminisce about the good times) and I said that my two biggest disappointments as a Southend fan were that we didn't win the Division 3 Championship in 1991 when we should...

    Footballers Jailed

    Three professional footballers who admitted taking part in a drink-fuelled brawl at a nightclub last October have been jailed. Wales international David Partridge, 27, and Bristol City team mates, Scott Brown, 21, Bradley Orr, 23, and Steve Brooker, 25 were charged with affray. On Friday at...
  14. Games you've missed

    ..and reasons why. (it can be 100 if you want it to ) As it's transfer deadline day and absolutely nothing will happen, us Blues fans have to look to other means to fill out time on message boards. Therefore:- All this `David Crown's winner against Wigan' fave goal recollections...

    100 Favourite SUFC Goals

    So, topic is quite simple. One goal each in a similar style to the other thread. It might be the quality of the goal or the significance. Perhaps it was just the randomness of the goal. Either way, put down the scorer, date, venue (H/A) and opposition as well as a justification of it. Obviously...

    Freddy for Fifty?

    Freddy's next goal will be his 50th for SUFC (in less than two seasons). This will make him 18th in the all time SUFC scorers list. When he gets another 20 for us that will bring him level with the mighty David Crown in 8th place. He probably needs to stay with us in top form/injury free...

    Best Dave to play for Southend

    We have had a few good Dave's over the years - But who was the best. For me it was Dave Crown - My first ever football hero. Could score a goal out of nothing, cracking little player and not affraid to sport a mullett. Can you think of any better? (PS - Those that have seen me play...
