    Gary Lineker v the Sun

  2. MOTD Gary's Knickers

    For all of you who may be interested Mr Lineker will be hosting the show tonight in his pants after his statement on ****ter that if Leicester won the Prem it would be pantie time tonight.

    Spoty 2013

    Great move by the BBC last night with their new look presenting team of Gary Lineker, Gabby Logan and Eddie Izzard. Clear block-voting in Wales to get Leigh Halfpenny into second place. No Mo Farah or Chris Froome in the top-3. Closest racism?

    Justin Edinburgh

    Surprised there hasn't been a thread regarding this gentleman. I remember him playing for Southend as a rather skinny lad, us playing well against Tottingham Hotspurs (Lineker and Gascoigne included), him going to them on loan .......... and then he suddenly "beefs out" and then playing for...

    Farnborough F.C.

    Paddy Power are sponsoring Farnborough and have changed the player names to footballing legends. Another brilliant piece of marketing from the guy at Paddy Power! Even an ex-shrimper has changed his name Here's the squad list: GK: Gordon Banks (Kevin Scriven) DF: Lothar Matthaus...

    Memory Lane Wednesday night football at the Hall over the years

    4-1 Huddersfield - they had two sent off and Alan McCormack(!) got a double 1-4 Chelsea - Barrett. Bloody Revell missed a sitter at 1-0 1-0 Grimsby 1996 - Tilson (not the famous Tilly goal v Grimsby, that was on a Friday night IIRC) 2-1 Port Vale 1995 - week before Xmas. Mike Marsh got a pen but...

    Spurs or Man United

    What was the better team; who deserved more plaudits - Tilly or Webb? The line-ups v Spurs in October 1989: Southend United - Sansome, Dixon (Edinburgh 71), Roberts, Martin, Prior, Brush, Cook (Walsh 90), Butler, Crown, McDonough, Bennett Spurs - Thorsvedt, M.Thomas (Howells 55), Van den...
  8. Sir Steve

    bet most people have had a few quiet thoughts for Steve Tilson in the last few days - and I laughed watching Storruck sweating buckets (check it out - the shirt is soaking) on Blues player ...... and I really hope Mr Tilson is kicking back chilling and reflecting on all the great times -...

    Well Done BBC On A Genuinely Fine Bit Of Broadcasting

    I do hope, after the Brazil v Ivory Coast match, that you saw Gary Lineker talking to Emanuel Adebayor about the terrorist attack on the Togo squad in Angola. Compelling viewing, especially when Adebayor describing the moments he was on the floor of the coach and he could see and feel his...

    The offical I've still not seen a ball kicked in anger thread.

    Count me in. I may have to break that to watch us go out against Slovenia. Perhaps then we can get a) An English manager b) A manager who is worthy of a ridiculous salary c) A manager than can turn around to the overpaid, overhyped and clearly not international class superstars and tell them...

    Found this on QPR's Messageboard

    Ok, so it was sent to me by someone on QPR's messageboard. I have to say that for the most part of this fan rant, I kind of have to agree! Of course, things are bad at QPR, so you can understand where this guy is coming from, but this is rage I have not witnessed very often!

    SZ's Southend United Hall of Fame - Spencer Prior

    Four places (I think) left to fill and next up is Spencer Prior, albeit a day late in Ron Martin style. -------------------------------------------------- Separated by over a decade, Spencer Prior had two very different careers with Southend. Either would be sufficient to get him in the Hall of...

    Memory Lane Special Report on SUFC's previous homes

    Nice piece from the Echo's site today (I know there's no paper today), could have gone in the other forum I guess, but thought it kind of went alongside the Hall of Fame stuff we've been doing. Sing the Blues for stadiums past 12:10am Saturday 30th May 2009 Comments (0) Have your say » By...

    SZ's Southend United Hall of Fame - David Crown

    David Crown was my first footballing hero. I started watching Southend in the mid-80s, but despite constantly nagging the old man it wasn't until late 1987 that he started taking me along with him regularly. I suspect he was protecting me from the Dick Bate era. Fortunately the Bate spell was...

    SZ's Southend United Hall of Fame - David Webb

    For 84 years Southend was a team that bounced around the lower divisions. The opening words of the official club history are: "Other teams dreamt of Wembley, some hankered for the first division championship or a place in Europe - but Southend only ever wanted second division status." We'd...

    Best XI that have played at Roots Hall

    One of the best things about last night's game, in my opinion, is seeing so many internationals stars plying their trade inside Roots Hall. Made me think of what could be the best XI of players who have played at Roots Hall. I'm sure there's plenty to choose from; the likes of Cech, Lampard...

    Sir Bobby Robson

    a real shame but it seems to have been on the cards for a while. From the Sun website. ----------- BOBBY ROBSON has won countless battles during a career which has earned him a permanent place in the nation’s hearts. But his latest fight, sadly, will be his last. English football’s favourite...

    So last night I had a dream about Steve Mclaren...

    He was on Football Focus, being interviewed by Gary Lineker and Gavin Peacock, answering questions about why the England team weren't in Euro 2008, and he put it down to "match preparation". When questioned further about what he meant, he said something along the lines of: "Well I thought all...

    Spurs vs Southend

    Spurs dangerman – Tom Huddlestone Having successfully dispatched Bournemouth, Brighton, Leeds and Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur are next on Southend’s Carling Cup hit list. The 1-0 home win over the Red Devils will of course live long in the memory of Southend fans and a trip to White...
