  1. Billy Paynter

    I watched Paynter in the reserves and I have to say that he was crap. Poor touch, can't shoot, he looks a non-league player at best. Why did we pay so much for him? Hull must be laughing their socks off. No doubt someone went to watch him play before an offer was made - or did they? How are...
  2. Charity Game This Sunday

    I hear that there is a charity game at Basildon United this Sunday featuring a Basildon ex pro XI and Dave Cusack, Peter Taylor, Bill Garner, Justin Edinburgh, David Crown, Gary Nelson and numerous others are pulling on their boots for a good cause. Kick off is at 1 o'clock.
  3. Some points I'd like to make

    Point 1 I agree with calls on this board for Tilson to get some players in on loan. We definately need at least one goal source from midfield and of course a partner for Freddy. However, Tilly knows this. Think back to the summer when we all discussed on here who wouldnt cut it and where our...
  4. To Big a jump up for Tilly.

    Tilly has done a wonderful job. But I do not think he expected promotion to the Championship so soon. He was not prepared for it and I reckon as a result he had not much time to plan for this season. He was an inexperienced manager, given a chance by Ron Martin in the bottom level. It worked...
  5. Paynter

    Over the weekend i heard a rumour so i thought id ask on here. I heard Paynter is going out with Peter Taylor's daughter so is that the reason why he suggested to tilson to buy him so he could be close to the family. As Stuart Green is going out with his other daughter and he's taken him...

    Freddy to Palace

    Small piece in todays NoTW, with Peter Taylor apparently wanting Freddy to replace Clinton Morrison

    Tilly

    Does anyone else know whether Tilly is assisting Peter Taylor tonight? He's done the last two games. Just curious.
  8. Clarke must be dropped now

    Well done tilly for trying something different today, but you should have gone further. Clarke must be dropped now, not for one game, give Efe the chance to get his old form back. Why can't we get players on loan from the prem, or maybe should we go back and ask Peter Taylor for another...

    The reason we signed Paynter

    Apparently he's engaged to Peter Taylor's daughter (who lives in Southend).

    Watching on Sky Thread...

    Couldnt make it today, so having to do with Skys coverage. As usual, they are talking up Eastwood, but on the whole seem fairly knowledgable about us for once (Claridge in the 'studio'). Mick McCarthy and Peter Taylor watching from the stands. Think we have done ok so far. Hunt looks...

    100 Favourite SUFC Goals

    So, topic is quite simple. One goal each in a similar style to the other thread. It might be the quality of the goal or the significance. Perhaps it was just the randomness of the goal. Either way, put down the scorer, date, venue (H/A) and opposition as well as a justification of it. Obviously...

    100 Best ...

    Let's start our own ShrimperZone centenary celebrations by picking 100 players who have turned out for Southend United. But let's choose them on a personal level in YOUR lifetime - first come, first served (no repeats) - with your reason WHY you choose this player. We all have different...

    Andy Thomson

    This snippet from the Queen of the South site The Queen's Club Shop produced a special edition mug last summer and on it were four true Queens greats, Allan Ball, Roy Henderson, Jim Patterson and Andy Thomson and no one who witnessed the first spell of Andy at Palmerston could ever argue with...
  14. Team VS Palace

    Now i know we looked pretty good on Saturday and you should never really tamper with a winning side but im slightly concerned about the lack of pace at the back when we face Palace. Both Spinner and Barrett looked good at the weekend and gave 100% against Stokes two HUGE strikers but facing...

    Peter Taylor

    Finally (!) getting round to reading the Sunday papers whilst keeping an eye on the cricket. Bliss. Anyway, there was an interview with Peter Taylor in the Sunday Times, in which the following sentence caught my eye: "...Taylor who, in 1973, had been plucked from Southend's...
  16. In all the excitement of Friday....

    I could be wrong (and I have had a quick scan of threads in the hope of avoiding being slammed down) has anyone seen that Peter Taylor's first signing for Crystal Palace is Leon Cort for a fee of £1.25m !! Thats a lot of money for a defender
  17. Tilson is the 4th longest serving club manager

    in the Championship. Well done to him!!! The list is as follows: Coca-Cola Championship managers - Dec 4, 2000: Nigel Worthington (Norwich). Dec 12, 2001: Steve Bruce (Birmingham). June 23, 2003: Mike Newell (Luton). Nov 20, 2003: Steve Tilson (Southend). June 1, 2004: Kevin...
  18. Very worrying.....

    ....one of the young dolly-bird presenters on SSN has just stated that Peter Taylor's first priority is to replace Andrew Johnson and his top target is a highly-rated young striker at a South-Eastern club. No joke this chaps, abolsute gospel - lets hope he's talking about Izale...
  19. Simon Jordan Expects

    In an interview with Sky Sports, Simon Jordan said something along the lines of him expecting Peter Taylor to commit to the club fully and not be distracted... Surely this would mean Taylor stepping down from his post as England U21 Manager? Tilson must be amongst the favourites for the...
  20. Quiz question

    Keith Mercer, Peter Taylor Steve Tilson and Tes Bramble have all done something for SUFC that no other players have for the last 40 years. What is it?
