poorly

  1. Neil Harris

    Caretaker at Millwall after Holloway unsurprisingly sacked
  2. Shrimpergonzo

    Adam Thompson signs one year extension

    (Poorly written) article on the OS http://www.southendunited.co.uk/news/article/thompson-signs-new-contract-3068170.aspx
  3. Rattus Norvegicus

    Another manager bites the dust

    Tranmere have parted company with M. Adams - desperate times for the club. I feel sorry for the fans. Burton changed manager when Rowett left but otherwise is it a co-incidence that the top 8 or so clubs (Wycombe, Shrewsbury, Bury, Southend and Stevenage for instance) have all kept their...
  4. Question Is it time to do away with multiple fixtures at Xmas / New Year?

    I think it's time we scrapped the 'tradition' of having multiple fixtures over the Christmas New Year period because 1 The cold conditions make players more susceptible to incurring muscle and tissue injuries 2 It leaves players insufficient recovery time between matches 3 Christmas is...

    Poorly Laptop and this weekends results

    My Laptop is everso poorly, and its s*d's law that it will give up the ghost just as I'm about to post the results on Saturday night! Hopefully it won't but if so please bear with me I will get the results up as quickly as I can (worst case is it could have wait till Monday). I'm getting it...

    What do you feel is sufc's future?

    I have been thinking about the club this week and all the things that used to attract me to it and it really saddens me to see the club being run so poorly and for the fans to be so disillusioned and distanced from the club they love. I just think the club is quite literally on its knees and it...
  7. Sturrock IMO DID NOT FAIL !

    Keep on reading about Sturrocks failure on here but I don't get it,The man worked miracles nearly winning promotion and reaching the clubs first Wembley final,How can that be classed as failure. Whoever manages this club have their hands tied,It's mission impossible..No funds,Embargo,Probably...
  8. +'s and -'s

    Well the carousel has turned again and many fans have waved goodbye to pessimism and are sold on the annual 'we can do this' donkey. What are the pluses? a) A small but seemingly competitive squad. b) Player versatility in most positions...
  9. Swansea Program on BBC1 (SUFC related)

    Did anyone else see the program on Swansea on BBC1 last night? Showed them 10 years ago when they were on the brink of going out in the football league in a worse state than we are currently. They forced their chairman then out with large protests. The chairman was actually scared at games and...

    Why my day at wembley was magical

    Ok here goes, in reply to the quite frankly OTT reaction to losing a cup final we had done amazingly well to get to let alone win the thing and some seemingly deflated people who had ridiculous expectations of the day. Awoken at 7:30 by my Dad banging on the front door singing wembleeeee...
  11. Bary corr

    This morning I heard Barry corr say that B M should be kept at the club and given another chance .What more chances .Barry said that his challenge yesterday was rash and poorly timed .No kidding I think all the fans worked that out for themselves .Sadly BBBC doesn't know the man like we do .But...

    Unpublished article from the Southend/Chelsea programme

    Sadly we won't be playing Chelsea but in anticipation I had already written the article for the official programme so perhaps still of interest: CHELSEA v SOUTHEND 100 YEARS AGO Southend’s first meeting with Chelsea was a 100 years ago in the 1st Round of the Cup (equivalent of 3rd round...
  13. Rattus Norvegicus

    Third of the season gone .......

    I know - can you believe it - 1/3rd of the season already gone. What to make of it so far? Out of the league cup - not surprising but we were poor. :thumbdown: Still in the FA cup - and against a team that we could beat. :thumbsup: Still in the League Trophy :thumbsup: - but against Brentford...
  14. Kevin Hogg

    What a strange world football is...

    Totally unlike any other and particularly the "real" world. A player (employee) signs a contract. For arguments sake a three year deal. It does not matter how poorly he performs his job as a player - he gets paid and not sacked. His boss, the manager who gave him the opportunity (not...
  15. what might have been.

    What a sad, sad story coming out of Northwich http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-16620964 and if anything for me it shows how lucky we are to have RM. There is precious little room for sentiment in football/business and clearly the years of effort and contribution to football that Northwich...
  16. Dear Cluniemore

    My dear chap, if indeed you are PS or one of his stalwarts, I do hope you get a chance to read this. Of course your true identity may come in an anagram of your name ( one clue I RM ). If this is true I still hope you get to read this! I have heard so much about 'confidence players' blaah blaah...
  17. Question Have you ever had a fight over a parking space?

    I recently mistakenly parked in a poorly marked disabled spot in Hadleigh and on returning to my vehicle I was verbally abused by a man who despite claiming to be disabled threatened to kick my ****ing head in. I am not the sort of person to get involved in a fight with a disabledperson but...

    Ricky Duncan: 'It's Your Club'

    During Monday's Question & Answer session with Southend United Head of Youth Ricky Duncan, the Under-18s coach repeatedly made it clear that SUFC is "your club" and will belong to the fans even after he leaves. Ricky is especially keen to foster these links, and there were a number of...
  19. Sufc

    Unfortunately I could not be at the game today and on the surface of it, with the injuries sustained and the blooding of youngsters I had not expected too much. I appreciate the position we are in, given the squad overhaul in the summer and understand money is a factor, or the lack of, which has...
  20. ME complaints - Allan speaks out

    Don't know if anyone spotted this, but it's worth a read.... Some Complaints About the ME By BT-allanfc on 11/03/2011, under General Information. Over the last couple of weeks we have received a number of emails complaining about the match engine, and I thought the best place to try and address...
