  1. Another proffesional job well done!

    Another cold night and another win We killed the game in the first half and like the Swindon game in the second half we let them have a lot of the ball. Goater looked good with his touches and set up eastwoods goal with a death touch but still looked tired. Gower was given man of the match...
  2. Chelsea 2 Col U 3

    Davison v Cudicini: Experience and games (AD) vs. talent on the bench (CC). Will lack of games count against Cudicini? Can AD overcome (and atone for?) his FA Cup howler against Blackburn? Verdict: draw Duguid v Robben: Will Col******r's erstwhile club captain ever face a sterner test...
  3. 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die

    Just heard about this book that was published late last year - some strange choices and (IMHO) some glaring ommisions. That said, I own 293 of these and have heard a further 108 giving me a respectable total of 401. To be honest, dying would be a favourable option to hearing most of the others...
  4. Starting XI

    Flavs Juppy Efe Prior Barrett Benno Maher Superman Gower Eastwood Goats Subs: Cole, Hunt, Wilson, Bradbury, Lawson Bit surprised hes reverted back to barrett at left back, think he may be playing a more physical back 4, with the 2 full backs pushing on a bit. Looks a solid starting XI
  5. Matt the Shrimp

    Southend v. Tranmere

    Erm... am I missing something here, or has no one managed to put up a match report for our 0-0 draw at Tranmere? Oh well... not much to report, really.  We were as mediocre at Prenton Park as we had been scintillating the previous week against Brentford. I'm too tired tonight to do a big, long...
  6. Fans reaction to the game

    Fans reaction?? What did you make of it?? Message 2 - posted by barretttheblue**, 6 Minutes Ago erm my reaction, was that it is the best southend have played under tilly. the best all season. and was the most entertaining, match i have ever seen. southend mesmorised me. the fans...

    SUFC "Grassing Up" Text

    Unfortunately I found I have had to use this service (see link below) over the last 2 games. Text a Troublemaker On Saturday I had to complain about the bloke in the white jacket at the front of the east stand constantly parading up and down in front of the east greens and blacks and thereby...
  8. Controversial one this....

    ...but for me its come as no surprise that these 3 straight defeats have come immediately after the Barnet FA Cup tie. I said to Draft Shrimper and statski that I'd be quite happy this season to go out at the first hurdle as having been a Shrimper for 18+ years I've seen many a promising...
  9. Bentley or Smith?

    ... Or who do you think Tilson will start? - We all know that away from home teams tend to need a little more physical presence (Bentley), though Smith who is one of the most talented players in our squad provide that extra quality we have been missing the last couple of games.. Views?
  10. very early, but what team you'd like to see...

    well i said would like to see, but obviously taking injuries into account Flahavan (Griemink if flav's not passed fit) Hunt Edwards Barrett Wilson Bentley Guttridge Maher © Cole Eastwood Gray Subs ...
  11. Bored at work so thought i'd post

    Would you rather be attacked by a shark or a crocodile? see, told you i was bored. For me i'll go with the shark option. All over quickly, physical damage so large that the brain supposedly blocks the pain anyway, and i'd fancy my chances as a bit better with a shark.

    the sufcintheprem views and ratingsSmith

    I was very unsure what to expect today against an Oldham side who had made a decent start to the season but I knew little about. By chance, I ended up going to the game with an Oldham fan who was visiting a mate of mine but from his dramtic reactions, it was difficult to get much information out...
  13. BoyWonder2

    Just got this through on the email.

    I never quite figured out why the sexual urge of men and women differ so much. And I never have figured out the whole Venus and Mars thing. I have never figured out why men think with their head and women with their heart. FOR EXAMPLE One evening last week, my girlfriend and I were getting into...
  14. Andy_S

    Ratings

    As FBM is away, we need to cover his absence.     My personal ratings: Flahavan 7: Made 2 smart stops including a very good reaction stop from the free kick on the 18 yard line. He came for a couple of free kicks well and was generally very sound. Hunt 6: After a decent performance against...
  15. Mitchell vs Bradford

    Just wondered if anyone at the game could let me know how Mitchell got on last night?? Read in the papers that it was a two footed tackle on his that led to their red card. Good luck in this league....hopefully he will adjust well to the increased physical demands of a higher league and do...
  16. The Striker Situation

    It is obvious that we need another striker, as we only have two at the moment. Gray does a decent job, Eastwood's a physical beast, but we need more than that. Has anybody heard if and when a new striker will be signed for blues? I think that another striker is the missing piece of the...

    Today's Guardian

    This is from today's Guardian........great line "Melancholy is second nature to them" Southend enjoy rare optimism Southend are hoping this year could be third time lucky. After two defeats at the Millennium Stadium in a little over 14 months, in the past two LDV Vans Trophy...

  19. Creativity and changing the game

    At the moment we are really struggling to create any chances. Our main source of creativity is Freddy ghosting past defenders. The trouble is opponents have cottoned onto the fact that he is the dangerman are are just crowding him out. Freddy is having to beat three men to even get in a...
  20. Censorship

    I was asked to do the match report at 2-35 pm yesterday, just as I was getting ready to leave the pub to head for the ground. Of course I agreed, 'ask not what SZ can do for you....' and all that. However I am very saddened to see that my match report was edited before being put on the...
