  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. How on earth...

    ...did Peter Clarke come second in the player of the year award? I can only assume it was because Bailey got a few thousand votes and the rest of the players were each in single figures - ie second could have gone to anyone really. I do not doubt his effort for the club. And he often makes...

    Set Pieces

    After watching yet another sloppy goal conceded from a set piece against Crewe at the weekend, I have a horrible gut feeling this will be the cause of our undoing in the playoffs if we make it. When the free kick was taken, nobody was marking the goalscorer, but there were 3 Southend players...

    Back from Gresty....

    ... and what a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon it was too! I thought the first half performance was the best 45 minutes football Southend have played for a long, long time... certainly the best this season. They were 1st to every ball, never allowed Crewe a second on the ball, were a yard...

    Klass-Jan Huntelaar

    While England’s footballers sulk in their sun-loungers, the rest of the continent will be contesting the 2008 European Championships. Iain Macintosh, who still won’t allow the word ‘McClaren’ to be uttered in his home, runs the rule over some of the potential stars of the summer. This week, it’s...

    Chelsea get through

    Chelsea became the third English side to book their place in the Quarter-Finals of the Champions League and they did it, not by boring their opponents into submission, but by smashing them to pieces with a performance that, strange as it may sound, was as beautiful as it was efficient. Avram...

    Spurs Superior To Baffling Blues

    We all chuckled when Jonathan Woodgate claimed that he joined Tottenham in order to have a chance of winning trophies but, appropriately enough, it was the former Middlesbrough centre-back who delivered the long-suffering club their first silverware in nine years at Wembley Stadium. “Scoring...

    Paul Clark

    Didn't go to tonight's game through work, and baby, commitments, and in the end, I feel very much one of the priviledged who managed to avoid what sounded like yet another defensive shambles undermining a fairly decent start. Listening to Paul Clarke on the radio, as I have done many times...

  10. Is Tilly losing his marbles ?

    Tilly said after the Hartlepool game on the O.S. ''I actually thought we played better in the first half than in the second'' . Now I know I'm getting on a bit and my memory and perception may not be what it was ,and I am a big Tilly fan and was sticking up for him when things have gone bad...

    Dr Ramos' Football Surgery

    For Tottenham Hotspur, the last four months have been like one of those celebrity makeover programmes on the television. Tottenham trudged into Dr Ramos’ Football Surgery back in October looking overweight, haggard and drawn. Now, after weeks of detailed appraisal and then a flurry of cutting...

    Set pieces

    something we have been terrible at this season. if i remember rightly we've only scored from one this season? when teams come to roots hall its clear a lot of them come with a game plan to shut our midfield down and they look for the counter account. when teams get a corner or free-kick we look...

    The fbm view and ratings - Derby

    BLUES SUCCUMB TO HOWARDS WAY It was another point-less afternoon for Southend at the Hall as Derby went clear at the top of the Championship after doing the double over the bottom side. The main difference between the teams was Rams front man and ex-Luton striker Steve Howard. He did the...

    I really dont even know where to begin How would you pick a man of the match out of that lot? I'd give it to Ricketts for signing kids autographs at half time. The officials. Remember I moaned at the Sheff Wed officials. Well take that and treble it. Whoever that was in yellow with a white...

    See you next Wednesday - A match report

    Well, what can I say. Some of the worst officials I've seen at the hall, the ref was a disgrace, missing most things, yet giving trivial thing. Hard but fair tackles were penalised, Freddy, fouled but with the ball at his feet in front of goal is stopped to take the ball back for a freekick...

  20. Gabrielle Batistuta

    The Argentinian legend now lives here in Perth after what was a great career. Though obviously for fun and not a sign of his ability, he occasionally plays for Fremantle Croatia FC. They are the equivalent of a Saturday pub team, crowds of around 50 max each week. Imagine turning up Sunday...
