    England - Selection headaches and unrealistic expectations

    Just reading through the Switzerland thread and can't help but feel a little bit sorry for Capello. I'm one of those that think he has been wrong tactically and selection wise, and given how much we're paying him to succeed, he's quite lucky to still be in a job - however with team selection...
  2. Ref Watch ...... Crewe away

    Man in charge tonight is 30-year old, Geoff Eltringham from Sunderland. He is in his second season as a League referee and will be refereeing his second Southend match. The previous one was our 2-1 away defeat at Carlisle towards the beginning of last season when he cautioned Macca, Grant and...

    Memory Lane Harold Halse v Stuart Parker 1:15 - poll added

    Penultimate tie of the first round. The only person old enough to see Halse will have been Cricko who is too senile to remember. Stuart Parker should be recent enough for a fair few memories though.

    SZ's Southend United Hall of Fame - Dave Smith (2nd ballot)

    Up for election to the SZ Southend United Hall of Fame is manager Dave Smith. Smith came incredibly close last time, missing out by just 0.26%. Will he fare better at his second attempt? Here's what I wrote last time: ---------------------------------------------------- This poll is really a...

    Rollerball pens

    This might seem a really stupid question, but here goes. I normally use my fountain pens for day to day use, and fond them extremely reliable etc. However, I've also got a Rollerball for when I travel by plane and need to have something a bit nicer than a parker pen. Because this doesn't get...

    Your 23 on the plane to S.A?

    So, that's it then. A few pretty dull and very nervy friendlies are over. Some have cemented their place on the flight. Others have earned themselves a month infront of the T.V. with the rest of us. Fabio names his final 23 on Tuesday. But who would be your squad of 23 lions to go for world...
  7. Who's Going Home In An FA Sponsored Aston?

    With just 90 minutes of football seperating the thirty prospective England internationals from South Africa, which seven unfortunate players will find themselves on stand-by? Michael Carrick: Unfortunately for the Manchester United midfielder, England have a relative embarrassment of riches in...

    England Flatter To Deceive

    NOTHING FOR ENGLAND TO SHOUT ABOUT Forget about the result, this was not a good night for England. Fabio Capello has much to ponder before he makes his final squad selection for the World Cup. A 3-1 victory over a side of Mexico’s quality is a fine result on paper, but the performance that went...

    England vs Mexico

    With the final squad being announced in about a weeks time, the next few days will shape the likes of Tom Huddlestone, Adam Johnson and Darren Bents' summer. The England starting line up is as follows: Green, Johnson, Baines, Ferdinand, King, Walcott, Gerrard, Carrick, Milner, Crouch, Rooney...
  10. The 30 Man Provisional Squad

    The usual inclusions, with the "surprises" of Bent, Dawson, A. Johnson, Huddlestone and... Jamie Carragher? Please God no, Carragher has been more than a few yards off the pace for a few years now and I couldn't bear the thought of watching him against the better wingers in the tournament. GK...

  13. ESB's League One Preview - Part 2

    Millwall Last Season: 5th Manager: Kenny Jackett Key Player: Nadjim Abdou, Midfielder. Prediction: 6th Those delightful Bermondsey boys were incredibly unlucky in the Play-Off final last term, losing to Matt Sparrow at Wembley. Keeping their squad together and another season under Kenny...

    Bafana Bafana Give Me The Horn

    South Africa 0-0 Iraq The nation of South Africa is ready for the World Cup but sadly it seems that their football team are still lagging behind. Ellis Park, a stadium better known for its connections to rugby, played host to a most disappointing game of football, but it didn't dampen the...

    SZ's Southend United Hall of Fame - Dave Smith

    This poll is really a week or so too early. The date of this poll should be 01 May, because that is the date for which Dave Smith will forever be associated with the club, for it was on 01 May 1981 that his side claimed the club's first major trophy* with a 1-1 draw against Rochdale. Dave...

    This Article Took 3 Hours Of My Life...

    ....90 minutes to watch it, 90 minutes to write it. I'll never get that time back. Never. West Ham 0-0 West Bromwich Albion So West Bromwich Albion are just a pretty team are they? Tell that to Rob Green, the West Ham goalkeeper who felt the full wrath of the struggler's newly found nasty...

    Goal of the season?

    I've only just seen Carlton Cole's goal vs Wigan from Weds night- an intricate passing move (5, I think) before he curls it past Kirkland. A quality goal from...a possibly under-rated player, but more importantly, the passing was sublime. There was a lovely little back-heel from the Italian guy...

    Pre-Match Thread Toellandbacks Leeds preview

    A big game for both Tuesday night sees the Shrimper’s visit the home of football, Elland Road. A game that is vitally important for both teams although for very different reasons. Leeds are after 3 points to push themselves closer to the promotion hunt and Southend need to get back to winning...

    Thirty Years On - The Parallels

    Thirty years ago today we played Liverpool at Roots Hall in Round 3 of the FA Cup. I was relieved. It was a game that should have been played the previous weekend but had been postponed due to the arctic conditions that were gripping the country at that time. That weekend had been due to go on...
