Mine certainly used to be La Boîte in Barcelona,which closed down here a few years back.It was a fantastic small cellar bar run by a couple of brothers,who...

    Flicking through the latest Sky Sports magazine, there is an article listing "The 20 Most Outrageous Owners In Sport". At number 2!! Beating the likes of WWE Chairman Vince McMahon, Jesus Gil, Vladimir Romanov of Hearts and Silvio Berlusconi is the Blues former Chairman Anton Johnson, beaten...

    SZ's Southend United Hall of Fame - Frank Gill

    One of the reasons I was keen to get the Hall of Fame going, was to learn more about our club's heritage. I thought I had a fairly decent grasp on our club's history but this is one nomination that has caught me completely by surprise. I'm therefore welcoming the opportunity to find out more...
  5. The ESB Report (Sorry FBM)

    Had to write an 800 word report on the game last night for an assesment, and here it is: DONCASTER held Southend to a goal-less draw at Roots Hall to take a slight advantage in the League One play-off semi final. Rovers, who finished three places and four points ahead of their Essex...

    The Gunners

    Just occasionally, maybe once a year at most, there comes a football match so beautiful, so intense, so frantic and so scoop-your-jaw-up-off-the-floor exciting, that it's all you can do not to fall to the ground and openly weep in thanks that you were able to watch it. This was an epic struggle...

    Barcelona

    Barcelona booked their place in the Champions League semi-finals with a 1-0 win over Schalke, but they were made to work for it in a game that could have been over by half-time, had the Germans taken their chances. Mirko Slomka's side were timid and over-cautious in the first leg in...

    The fbm report - Swansea

    At lightning speed, due to existing committments elsewhere today. Enjoy and Happy Easter to all my readers... :) BLUES STAY IN HUNT AS SWANS SHARE SPOILS Another wind affected match at the Hall today saw Southend draw with table topping Swansea City, but both teams deserve a huge amount of...

    Forest scouting report v. Tranmere

    I thought I’d post on here because, for reasons that I don’t need to bore you with, I went to see Forest v. Tranmere and so I thought that I’d report back, albeit not being the most ‘football minded’ as some of you (to quote MK Shrimper). That might mean that my...

    Could you be a granny shagger?

    The fbm view and ratings - Derby

    BLUES SUCCUMB TO HOWARDS WAY It was another point-less afternoon for Southend at the Hall as Derby went clear at the top of the Championship after doing the double over the bottom side. The main difference between the teams was Rams front man and ex-Luton striker Steve Howard. He did the...

    The fbm view and ratings

    NICE SCORE, SHAME ABOUT THE GAME Southend returned to the top of league one tonight after a professional but spluttering display against a team surely destined for league 2 if not extinction. The three points were, to be honest, courtesy of a first half mugging and Rotherhams total ineptitude...

    Anyone remember this fan on Sat..

    He spent more time watching us than his beloved Gills!! Really mouthy, but the only one shouting was him, the rest of them were dead quiet

    the fbm view and ratings

    Tilly said it wouldn't be pretty. Bentley said it would be ugly. Neither were lying. Chester have to be the most cynical side I have ever seen at the Hall.  I would hate to have to watch that rubbish every week and they started time-wasting in the first few minutes.  Every time they got the...
