gutless

  1. Cowards and gutless

    I am still In shock at watching so called full time pros laying down and giving in without any courage or fight,Those players in front of 30000 home fans should have run through brick walls and shed blood for the cause instead they choked on every 50/50 ball,They stood and admired Crewe without...
  2. Pack up your kilt and **** Off Sturrock

    Absolutely fuming with yet another gutless,pathetic,spineless performance from that shower who have the front to call themselves professional footballers What the hell is M'cTaggat playing at by taking off Eastwood? Britt A was absolute ***** all night and has been for a long while The team...
  3. Question Who is going to renew their season ticket?

    Last nights performance, (sorry I should say lack of performance), has made my mind up, not to renew my season tickets, (yes tickets - I pay for two!). Yet another inept, gutless display by a team, (and that team includes PS), that a win away one week, followed by the inevitable home drab...

    Coughlan postmatch interview:

    Graham Coughlan seemed to allude to the fact that some Southend players dislike playing at Roots Hall. Although he was keen to point out that he doesn't see that as an excuse. I thought the little Roots Hall crowd tonight were extremely restrained in their reactions to what was a gutless...
  5. Have we blown promotion already?

    Now, don't get me wrong, Luggy was brilliant last season after what he had to contend with when he came to the club. Also, the squad he had built up this term is extremely strong for this level and the away record this year has been very good also. However, I'm wondering as to whether he can...
  6. Ref Watch .... Shrimps v Shrimpers

    Tomorrow at Morecambe as we try to hoof/play (delete according to choice) ourselves back into form, we have referee Mark Haywood from Wakefield, West Yorkshire in charge (not to be confused with League referee Mark Heywood from Northwich). This is his 6th season as a League referee and we have...

    Some good news.

    Afternoon all, I am delighted to report that Southend United have made two cracking little signings today. Lucky Luca and Little Dan who play for the Under 11s or something like that have both been offered another year by the club. Having seen both in action for my mind it was never in doubt...

    I cant be bothered to go anymore.

    TBH after todays heartless and gutless performance which has left us perilousely close to the drop i really cant be arsed to go. I have been going to see the blues for like 17 years and i have seen a lot of rough with the smoothe. Just something changed in me today . I wasnt angry and...

    Working For a ***** Company

    As some of you will know, I work for a Rescue & Recovery Company which is not your average 9-5 sort of job. Most though not all who do this job expect long hours, all weather conditions and sometimes, the very real risk of serious injury or even death. It's the nature of the job (considered in...

    I ain't one to hide...

    ...and you richly deserved the win. That was just as gutless and pathetic from Orient as last year, the difference being that Southend aren't any cop either this season, which makes it all the more worrying from my point of view. A terrible first half from both sides with little of note except...

    Question Football Superstitions - What's Yours?

    For me it's never wanting to go away to Swindon again. Bit of a gutless dump by all accounts but its not that. The first time I went there in the 80's I was with some Plymouth Argyle mates. Had an Argyle scarf on (I was at Uni there for three years ... tricky getting back to Roots Hall every...
  12. Medway Blue

    Just got back.....

    .....to Ipswich. No-one bar Wiggy seems to have commented on the performance, so I'll leave it be, despite having enough to say about it to write an essay. All I'll say is that the performance on field was gutless and quite frankly disgusting. Why did our big players of the season hide? One...

    The battle for survival

    The only excitement that comes close to the battle for the Premier League is the fight to merely stay in it for another season. The financial rewards of the top flight are now so vast that relegation is no longer an occupational hazard that can be thrown off with one straight-forward recovery...

    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...
  15. Enough's enough - Tilson Out

    Haven't we shown enough loyalty to Tilson - just because he's a local bloke and likes Southend? He can't just live off past glories. The only reason he did well for us was because he got lucky with Eastwood. The performances are gutless, the players do not play as a team, we don't score enough...

    Port Vale..

    One of the most honest and funny statements I've ever heard from a manager at an after match conference!!. I think it's safe to say he will be leaving shortly.. Port Vale coach Mark Grew slammed the players as the worst he had ever worked with after a 3-1 defeat at Leyton Orient. Luke...
  17. *rse licking the players

    I am all for supporting the team etc before the game and during etc but one thing that baffles me is people who persist in clapping the players off after gutless performances like Hull away and Col. U - for me after games where the players have under acheived (and the players know that...

    Utterly Ashamed

    The title of the thread says it all really.... Its not the fact we lost 4-0 that I am ashamed to call myself a Southend Utd fan (although that in itself is bad enough), its not the fact that we lost to our relegation rivals, its not even the 9+ hours spent in a car a long with £90 or so spent...

    Wiggys ratings today!

    Flavs 9 as long as he is in goal we could escape relegation, chants of England No.1 not as silly as it sounds. Hunty 7 shown up for lack of pace but does a decent job Francis 9 revelation, great pacey crosses, good footballer that maybe gets caught out too far forward but could turn out to be a...

    Absolutely disgraceful

    I have managed to somehow refrain from posting hours after the final whistle in previous weeks, purely because I felt the need to try and sit back and evaluate what I had just witnessed before saying things which werent necessary, but no more. What I witnessed this afternoon was one of the most...
