  1. An ode to Mark Gower

    Pretty shoddy attempt, can anyone come up with something better? :) The day he signed from Barnet we said 'who the hell is he?', Another rubbish has been? Those thoughts soon turned to glee, A debut to remember, the first Mark wonder goal, 41 would follow, They warmed us in the cold, He...
  2. new wide man wanted .....

    Mark Gower is away enjoying his "screening and body fat testing" at Swansea so where is the hot young cheap talent to replace him ? I remember a quick young black guy for Cheltenham but not really much idea of what other players there are about .. aany ideas ?

    Who'll be our playmaker now Gower's gone?

    Mark Gower was often the only player in the side with any guile last season. King Kev could open up a team on occassion but he's gone too (he has hasn't he?). So who'll be the creative midfielder in the team now? Scannell - showed flashes and I've got high hopes of him Macca - subtle touches...

    Signing for Swansea on a free transfer - SMS Not exactly the shock of the century is it?!
  5. Mark Gower: Question

    Hi lads just a quick post to ask have anybody heard what Gower is doing is he staying with you or coming with us?? the rumor down here now is that he is signing with us soon but still no news about in the local press only thing Martinez has said is there is to be another 5 signings by the end...

    Mark Gower appreciation thread

    With the end of Mark Gower's Southend career seemingly imminent, I thought I'd pose the question where does he rank in Southend's history. He's made 243 appearances, scoring 41 goals. He's appeared in all 3 of the club's Cardiff's finals, has a third division title winner's medal (one of only...

    Sky Sports is ****

    I know we often compain about the BBC, but Sky Sports is bloody awful as well. Have just been on their website, and apparently this is our current squad: Goalkeeper: Darryl Flahavan, Steve Collis Defender: Simon Francis, Johnny Herd, Che Wilson, Lewis Hunt, Peter Clarke, Adam Barrett, Mark...
  9. News regarding Gower

    Just had a chat with someone very high up at Nottingham Forest. Can confirm that they are indeed interested in Mark Gower. However when I asked how likely it was the reply was "Not very likely". So if he is indeed off I doubt it will be to Forest now. Of course he would be going nowhere at all...
  10. Mark Gower??

    Hi lads first of all i would like to offer my condolences for you not reaching the play-off final i just wish it could have been you and carlisle in the final instead of those w***ers Leeds united i'm just praying that they lose it!! Dont be to down you have a quality side and and i very good...
  11. 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...

    Mark Gower: Officially the FASTEST player at the club!

    Interesting to read in the programme this week that Mark Gower was recently crowned as the fastest player at the club in an exercise organised by Nike. Turns out that it's "fastest running with a ball at his feet", but still, well done G-man. Even more bizarrely, Peter Clarke was winning at...

    Barrett & Gower - Great performances

    Well what can you say. Last night was by far one of the best games i have seen SUFC play. The whole team looked up for it and it showed. All to often this season we go one up and then seem to stop. Last night was different in many ways What can you say about that goal from Mark Gower. He runs...

    We'll never score and we need more players

    After much wailing of teeth at the start of the season about where our goals were going to come from, only Swansea (73) have scored more goals than us (61). Unfortunately, we've conceded almost as many as Orient. Southend have no leading scorer in the division's top 20 (FL and Cups) Southend...

    Mark Gower is a Genius

    Mark Gower was mental on Saturday. He played his heart out. It showed as well. We looked strong and intelligent, pushing forward all the time looking for another goal. What a shot as well. Underside of the bar, it dosnt matter as he was in the right position. As for the run down the left wing...
  16. The Misery Section ... ...

    I am really fed up with all this rah rah - TBV stuff etc. and want to get back to sitting at Roots Hall slagging off our players and having a proper good moan and groan. I writing to Ron Martin and demanding we are given the front four rows of the east and west stand so we can really get...

    Come on Southend, Make it a perfect day tomorrow..

    Can't make tomorrow (gutted!) because I'm getting married!! If anyone sees a Helicopter fly over Roots Hall shortly after one o'clock, that will be Mrs Spikey Shrimper to be, on the way to the ceremony (unless she has a last minute change of heart of course!!!). It won't quite be a perfect day...
  18. almost new squad in under 2 years

    With Kevin Maher now out on loan, there are only 5 players left at the club who started a first team game for us before start of last season. And I think 4 of those are out of contract at the end of the season - Lewis Hunt, Mark Gower, Darryl Flahaven and Che Wilson. So potentially only one...

    Official SZ Match Report - Huddersfield Town

    I think Matt & James are otherwise detained today, so I am just going to post my report as a thread on here (instead of it being uploaded to the main page - for the time being!)

    Mark Gower at Cheltenham

    Don't know whether anyone else saw what i did last night. After about an hour into the game and with MG doing his impression of a school boy sulking on the wing because he hasn't got the ball, someone in the crowd shouted at him to "get involved" to which he turned to the away end and shouted...
