  1. Bury away on a Tuesday night -the verdict

    Well have we all recovered ?? On coach at 12.00am to get to game and get off coach at 03.25am to get home from Bury this morning. Quick 20 minutes "power nap" then time to get up for work. What a day - was it worth it ? You ####### bet it was. 2 games to go and the dream is still alive. By...

    not heard anything from Ron Martin lately or have i missed anything ?
  3. Adam Barrett - the right time take over as Player Manager?

    I've been given this a lot of thought this morning. There is no doubt that we are now at the business end of the season. Yes, we are still in contention for promotion sitting in fifth place. However, performances have been far from convincing and you get the feeling that we might now struggle...
  4. Are the bad times over

    It seems to be a long time now that we have read that SOUTHEND UNITED FC are in debt to the tax man and are due in the court to be punished or even wound up for tax debts .Also it is a long time since we have heard that players have not been payed there wages . And fans seem to stop pulling...
  5. We all know how much losing to Col Ewe hurts...

    The Peterborough chairman has found it really hard though! http://www.101greatgoals.com/blog/social/peterborough-chairman-darragh-macanthony-goes-on-awesome-twitter-rant-after-colchester-defeat/ (cue "Ron Martin should be more like this" comments)
  6. We must sign Adam Barrett tomorrow!

    Those of us who watched the Wimbledon v Liverpool game this evening should have no hesitation in contacting Phil Brown and advise him to sign Adam Barrett in the morning. What a display tonight from a leader, a shrimper, a man with Southend in his blood. His loan deal ends at the Wombles tonight...
  7. Another Surrey Shrimper

    I just bumped into Ron Martin

    Latest Rumours Rihanna buys out ron martin

    Well we can dream cant we ? ..... According to the Daily Mail today , She is looking to buy a UK team , and what better club can she buy than the nearest seaside town to Englands capital ! We have massive potential , and have a string of Carribean players over the years , including the great...

    Question Just checking in...

    Based on the outcry of rage and anger at Ron Martin, I assume we've signed a sponsorship deal meaning the home shirt has a photo of Rolf Harris and the away shirt a photo of Max Clifford and we're renaming ourselves Southend "Internet Research" FC? Am I right?
  10. Looking back and forwards

    Quite impressed with Phils interview before going to Spain - at the least physical preparation of the squad has improved noticably under him.... perhaps a slight short coming of Sir Steves.... Sir Steve pops into my mind every time the manager of Brasil, Scolari, show up on the box - remember...

    Strangely happy....

    Its bizzarr having been so high up in the league and looking at the auto spots for most of the season until our epic slump, i find myself not to dispondant. Even after the play off defeat when ordinarily i would be suicidal i found that im happy. I have really enjoyed the football we have played...
  12. 8 out of 36

    Where does the blame lie for not getting promoted. Well some say Ron Martin, for helping to put us in this league in the first place. Some say PB, for not rotating the team enough. For me the players themselves must stand up and be counted. We should have never been in the playoffs in the first...
  13. Kevin Hogg

    If anyone had stated we would achieve the following in ten years..

    EVERY Southend United fan would have thought them bonkers in the Summer of 2003. Please read below the incredible roll of failure during the Ron Martin years. Surely the man should bow his head in shame. The list ONLY reads: LDV Trophy Final - Cardiff LDV Trophy Final - Carfiff Play-off Final...

    Good news to come?

    Seen on twitter two news reporters who had a meeting with brown and Martin last night and have said to look out for the echo in coming weeks as exiting times are ahead.. Does this mean we have selected the contractors? @colinchannon: Enjoyed meeting Phil Brown and Ron Martin last night...
  15. Shrimpergonzo

    Danny Emmerton?

    Nothing to base this on at all, just wondered if we might be interested in him. He's been released today by Northampton (that normally happens at this stage of the season if someone has got somewhere to go, otherwise players sit out their contract) He was at Hull City from the age of 12, so...

    Southend v Exeter FL Show

    Last night's football League show Good piece on PB before and after yesterday's 90 minutes. Roots Hall was looking a bit sad but never fear, Ron appeared in front of the cameras and promised that the new ground would be started in late spring this year, so that's all right then...
  18. things that come to mind

    When pb was first appointed ,there was question marks against his appointment , most here said they would give him 15 games or until xmas to prove himself,well xmas has been and gone,i wonder what people are thinking now about his appointment, i think SUFC are lucky to have him, seriously have...

    Ron Martin's managerial appointments.

    Putting aside they manner in which certain people may/may not have been treated does anyone feel that Ron has been pretty shrewd when appointing new managers?

    Ron Martin, Please Get us out of This Embargo

    Firstly let me say that I am really excited about the position we now find ourselves in. We are third in the table with a chance of going top on Saturday, and are playing football that I enjoy watching. But, my issue is that, at the moment, we’re getting away with it. We have had a number of...
