    Football quotations

    What's your favourite? Mine would have to be: "All that I know most surely about morality and obligations,I owe to football" by Abert Camus.That's always rung a bell with me as it would,I imagine, with anyone else who's ever played fooball. Always had a soft spot too for Bill Shankley's :"Some...

    Brady v Ron - Bankruptcy Petition

    CP has just tweeted that Southend are likely to be on the front page of the Echo tomrow? Hasn't said whether its for good or bad news! Any thoughts ??
  3. Your most treasured possession

    Not sure whether this has been done before and I'm intrigued. Mine is a pocket watch given to me by Grandmother on my 18th birthday. Although it hasn't seen the light of day for years it's the prettiest thing I own, and it means a lot to me. What's yours?

    Currently playing for Market Drayton for free in the Northern Premier Division One South. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/23600004 Funny how he still hasn't got a club.

    Brown's squad

    http://www.southendunited.co.uk/news/article/010813-clifford-and-bennett-960904.aspx#0cuEqx7tTepwf8Hf.99 This is Brown's squad now so there can be no excuses. I wonder where that leaves the following players who Brown hasn't signed or re-signed. Smith Chambers Barker Phillips Straker Laird...

    My Aunt's Boyfriend

    I thought I'd tell you all a story. My uncle (my mum's brother) died in 2001. He had a heart transplant in around 1989-1990 and his new heart was finally rejected about 12 years on. He had got to a point where he was on the strongest anti-rejection drugs possible, so there was nothing more the...

    Mark Carrington

    Surprised this hasnt got more attention, but see Mark Carrington came on as a late sub last night and is pretty much flying under the radar. Not sure the point of giving him 10 mins was, but I remember him being a very decent CM for MK Dons and was highly rated when he first came through at...
  8. Private Messages

    Hi, I've had this issue for a couple of weeks now. I'm able to view PMs and write a reply, but when I click "send" I get the following error: I'm guessing that because it hasn't been reported elsewhere, it must be a problem at my end? I don't have the problem on other VB forums though...
  9. Breaking News Neil Harris - Contract Terminated

    Retires from footy too. Southend United ‏@SUFCRootsHall 1m Striker Neil Harris has had his contract with Blues terminated by mutual consent having made the decision to retire from football. Southend United ‏@SUFCRootsHall 1m Neil hasn't recovered sufficiently from his knee problems...
  10. Battle of the (lack of) political leadership - 1992 v 2013?

    Having followed local elections last week it seems to me that each of the main three political parties have badly lost their way. I put this down to the lack of leadership in each party. Cameron appeared to be Mr Smooth but clearly hasn't got the balls to make the big decisions; Clegg...

    Question Where is Ben Reeves

    I have noticed that the last couple of match day squads he hasn't been involved, just wandering if he is injured or Brown has indicated his future lies else where. Even though he is a loan, so is Assombalonga and Lund and they are playing

    Sky's Footballers Football Show

    Just in case this hasn't been mentioned elsewhere Phil Brown was on tonights show, which is repeated at 1.30 on SS1 (I think). I only saw about half of the show, but the two SUFC points that came out of it were that he was impressed with the quality of the players at the club. He then hinted...
  13. Is brown the right man for the job

    I don't know about you but with 4 games to go before the end of the season .I am already beginning to wonder if Ron Martin hasn't made a very bad mistake bringing this man on board .I hope im wrong and come the new season he brings in fresh faces that revive our play .But already ive been...
  14. Lets move on!

    Can we all please stop this Sturrock would've done better than Brown bollox. The Season is over with Sturrocks team. He brought all of these players in during his time with us. I'm not buying all the Sturrock love in. Yes he seems like a top man who has left with great dignity, yes he done a...

    Would we have been better with Sturrock?

    My massive dissappointment of yesterday still hasnt lifted, so here's a poll for you:
  16. TV Highlights JPT Final

    We really didn't play well as we know, Straker & Mohsni out of position, definate penalty on Britt in first half, how the ref waves it away is unbelievable. The second pen claim ain't as convincing & the foul on Mohsni for second goal, seen them given but he should really be a bit more aware of...

    He may even be on here - but seen some worrying comments from his timeline this evening online... People and Mirror reporter and Southend fan, based in Leigh.
  18. Fog horn at the end of the Pier.......

    Ok so we've all heard the foghorn at the end of the Pier. But what is the other fog horn I hear these days? There are definitely two sounding these days - the normal high frequency one which goes on some frequency I don't understand, and another booming one. I'm fairly certain the high frequency...

    Should Mohsni Play at Wembley?

    New to the board although been reading it for some time now. I was wondering what other fans thought about the possibility of Mohsni playing at Wembley, bearing in mind he hasn't played any part whatsoever in getting us there. After his self imposed absence, is it fair that he should take the...
