    Feeling good

    It's almost as if we are on a never ending feel good trip at the moment. From the 23rd May 2015 onwards stuff has been happening which in the past we could only dream of. I thought the Wembley win would be the pinnacle and we would have a so-so pre-season with the usual grumbling about lack of...

    For all gramatical pedants everywhere

    For all grammatical pedants everywhere I have to say I didn't understand all of these, but I'm sure some of you will................... http://likes.com/comedy/20-jokes-every-grammar-nerd-can-t-help-but-love-1?v=o6fWfgjGilnzjcBoinkd8uK41z5Qgy0g4w5Ya&page=1
  3. Strikers - perspective needed

    I loved BBBC as much as the next man and will always remember him fondly.... And that's where it ends. He was/is a useful league two player. The fact that he was our top scorer said more about our lack of alternatives rather than his ability. Cambridge offered him a better deal and he went for...
  4. London-based Season Ticket holders

    I'm based near Elephant and Castle in Central and thinking about getting a season ticket for next season. Anyone else based round this way with one? I'm wishing i'd got in before the deadline but didn't have the cash

    Ben Smith

    Read the few pages he wrote on his time here. Firstly, he got injured early - and had to face the wrath of John Gowens, who had a go at him for turning up an hour late one session, but after a while he and Gowens got on well. Secondly, he liked to drink. He said one morning, he had to call...
  6. Hiya....

    I've been following Southend since 1978, and the first game I paid to get into (and didn't climb over the wall into the North bank toilets) was for the opening league game of the 78/9 season vs Chester. I've followed and dipped into the shrimper zone site , and can personally identify with the...
  7. Transfer targets

    It seems that discussion of general targets/released players etc is happening across multiple threads. Here's yet another thread, but maybe a good place to discuss targets and players should look at. Who knows, maybe Phil will have a look! This isn't to replace threads where there is 'inside...
  8. Wembley scarf twirling footage /pics ?

    Like most of us on here I've watched and re-watched every bit of video etc from Saturday that I can find from Saturday (which in 45 years plus of following my hometown club was up there with the best ever and will take some beating !!) , however there is one clip missing and that's some footage...
  9. 2014-2015 Last Player Standing

    The rules: 1. Add one point (to only 1 player) and remove one point (to only 1 player) 2. You must give a reason 3. You can only play once a day 4. You must copy and paste properly and correct mistakes 5. Avoid being repetitive (using the same reasons and voting the same way) - spread the...

    How it affected the wider community..

    Went out for a meal with my beautiful lady yesterday afternoon - on cloud 10,000. As we paid the bill, the young waitress made conversation - for a tip no doubt. The weather? world news? Holidays? Rest of day? NO. "what about the football - didn't they do well?". There was no hint I had any...
  11. Character....

    Deserves a mention I believe, behind in all 3 play-off ties but through adversity we still manage to get back into League One. Really does speak for the character and togetherness of this team. And I have to say we also played our part in all 3 ties, the support we gave the boys even when...
  12. My Day in comments......

    Instead of pictures here is some of the things I said yesterday.... Make sure you hang out of the train so I know where you are Isn't this a quiet zone Bud please No David Crown I didn't bring my accounts with me Let's go This is the train we need to get on Where's the others gone What's...

    For those collecting tickets at Wembley. May be IMPORTANT.

    Hope you all read in the confirmation email that the cardholder who paid for the tickets is expected to be there with the card when the tickets are collected. I would honestly hope it is not an issue if someone else paid who wasn't coming or if you didn't bring card with you but you never know...

    Wycombe Pricing

    Ive been speaking to a few Wycombe fans and they really aren't happy with their ticket pricing, sounds like their cheapest tickets are around £40+ which is equivalent to our category 4 tickets. I didn't realise you could charge different prices? Oh and they aren't happy with Ticketmaster...

    When the Tickets Arrive

    Can I ask everyone who has bought tickets to do me a favour and post here when they arrive? The reason is that I have bought tickets for my whole family and a couple of friends, but didn't receive a confirmation email. I rang See Tickets and they promise me that they have my order and...
  16. 442

    Let's hope Phil Brown doesn't make the same mistake as at Morecambe. Barry Corr playing as the one up front doesn't work for the players we have at the club. We tried that system and went on our poor run, it didn't work, and Barry Corr couldn't score as he was easily marked and didn't get in the...

    Play Offs

    Didn't know where to park this, so started a new thread. Friend of a friend is a Boston United fan and they played a play-off semi-final second leg against Chorley yesterday. 0-0 from the first leg, they were 2-0 up and ended up losing on penalties, but worth checking out Chorley's last-minute...
  18. Why no sky

    With Tuesdays game being such a high profile match with so much riding on the match .You would havr thought sky sports might just have been on the ball and shown the game . It not like they didn't know that this rearranged game might have so much riding on it .But we are SOUTHEND and we are not...
  19. Can Daniel Bentley equal Mervyn Cawstons record?

    I didn't realise he had so many clean sheets on the trot. http://www.echo-news.co.uk/sport/blues/12881558.Southend_United_legend_Mervyn_Cawston_backs_Daniel_Bentley_to_equal_his_club_record_with_clean_sheet_against_Tranmere_Rovers/?ref=rss

    Mansfield manager's comments after last week's home defeat by York

    Not sure everyone will have seen this: Mansfield Town manager Adam Murray on Mansfield v York "It's the lowest point of my time in charge so far. We didn't carry out any kind of game plan, we might as well have spent a week at home and done no preparation. "We showed no bravery on the ball...
