    Is it wrong to go out with just another man for lunch.

    Lads, Now I could be wrong but I think I have uncovered one of the greatest sexism scandals of the last decade. On Monday my mate Mike who now lives in Hong Kong is back for a short break to see his Mum who lives locally to me. we have agreed to go out for a bite to eat at lunch (Pizza, Ruby...

    The 1953 Floods

    I hope the following is of some interest, on a Saturday afternoon in 1953 Southend United played a poor game of football, the crowd had a good old moan and then went home totally unaware of the disaster that would hit locally in a few hours time. Saturday 31st January 1953 Southend United 1-0...
  3. Les Stubbs

    With regret I bring the news of the passing today of former Southend United player Les Stubbs. Les had two spells with the club as well as playing for Chelsea where he won the first division championship in 1955. He also played locally with Great Wakering Rovers who he turned out for until he...

  7. Ref Watch ..... Swindon

    Man in charge of Saturday's crucial (aren't they all now?) match is Police Officer David Phillips from Chichester, West Sussex refereeing in his second season. This will be his third Southend game and his second Southend home game; his only previous Southend home match being the match against...

    Question Best Indian restaurant in the SS area?

    Not sure if this has been done before but I am sure everyone has an opinion. I use the Mumtaz Mahal in Benfleet because it is a one minute walk from my house however the best I have sampled locally is probably the Gulshan near the Mecca Bingo. The one on Leigh Broadway (the name escapes me but...

    Club Ownership

    Sorry if this has been gone over in the other threads, but for an idiot such as myself, can someone clarify who 'owns' the club. Is it the case that Martin Dawn plc own a majority of shares in Southend United and Ron Martin owns a majority of shares of Martin Dawn (and therefore effectively...

    Question Lee Sawyer.

    Morning, Just thinking back to the wonder that is Lee Sawyer and wondering what the chances are of us getting him. My CFC mate told me last night at football that Chelsea are planning a cull of fringe players. Assuming that Ancelotti is going to want to bring in a few stars himself just...

    Screwed up?

    With the new season not yet even appearing on the horizon I've possibly already screwed up. Booked a flight from the 20th to the 29th of August. Firmly in the belief that I was being clever and taking in two Saturdays, so that at least one would be a home match..........only to find out , to my...

  14. The Boxer Rebellion @ Chinnerys

    As some people have asked me privately when we might play locally, well we are heading to Southend for the first time (not me, obviously, but the rest of the boys) and playing Chinnerys as part of our upcoming tour. I have listed our tour dates for anyone who is interested. Our London date at...

    Stick or Twist?

    After the extreme disappointment of last night's game, I have been toying with a number of questions that up to now I have resisted: 1) Is Tilly still the right man for the job? 2) Is Ron's approach to running the club (from a footballing perspective only) likely to yield the results we are...

    as a young man, I can remember playing football with derek spences kids in his bakc garden, everytime we played up north, which was fine, or making friends, with paul roberts, at the time he was older than me. The big question for me is this, to we let our judgement of our players cloud our...

    Arsenal's Lucky Escape

    So it's true, there are no easy games in the Champions League. What was supposed to be a routine three pointer in Eastern Europe almost turned into a disaster for Arsenal as this year's Dynamo Kiev turned out to be far superior to the sorry outfit that stumbled to six defeats from six in this...
