  1. Who will come in for Tilson this summer ?

    Plenty of bigger clubs within commuting distance that will either be relegated or have had a poor season by their standards and be looking for a new manager. I predict; Norwich - will really go for it this time, they wanted him a couple of years ago. Charlton - in severe financial trouble so...
  2. Breaking News Mildy out Joyce in

    Southend United will be without goalkeeper Steve Mildenhall for tomorrow's match against Hereford United. Mildenhall limped off at half-time against Brighton and Hove Albion with a knee injury on Tuesday evening. And although the problem is not severe it is likely to keep Blues number one out...
  3. New striker

    I know we have just had one of those lamentable scenarios from the club, we hope to sign, he wont sign, a championship striker blah blah, but is that the issue at hand. Looking at the game last night we had plenty of opportunity but could not convert. Hardly a new situation. Would it not be...

    Stick or Twist?

    After the extreme disappointment of last night's game, I have been toying with a number of questions that up to now I have resisted: 1) Is Tilly still the right man for the job? 2) Is Ron's approach to running the club (from a footballing perspective only) likely to yield the results we are...
  5. The biggest weekend we've had since goodness knows when

    OK guys, there's no escaping it the situation is dire, Not a full squad, one win in 9/10, an injury list longer than my shopping list, several key positions unfilled, a manager looking under severe pressure. But let's be honest, we'd all have probably half-expected a 2-0 defeat at Leeds at...

    This is it now...

    So many questions, so little answers.. A day that was supposed to promise much, with Big Ron's blog - the "real insight" to the club. A day, where we could have been absolutely spanked by Leeds, but didn't. But what has happened today? Now there are many threads about people's moods...
  7. View from the Orient

    obviously I am gutted to concede such a late goal, as we so desperately need a win....but to say we were outplayed is an understatement. And to be outplayed by the poorest Southend team I have seen for a LONG time says how bad we are. If we had lost 2 or 3-1 we couldnt have complained, such...

    Brighton's New Stadium

    Brighton's New Stadium starts on 17th Dec Dream will become a reality when work starts on Falmer Some dates are imprinted in the minds of Albion fans. May 21, 1983, and April 26, 1997, are two obvious examples. Now December 17, 2008, can be added to the list. A quarter of a century after...

    They Haunted the Os:

    #2 - Richard Cadette When we take an Orient retrospective from the early to late 1980s you can't help but be overcome with a sense of complete and utter misery. While the nation was tearing itself apart over the miner'sstrike the dear old Os were busy getting themselves relegated to Division...

    Question Interactive Novel Writing

    Ok, bit of a weird one this. I have here the first 1,500 words of a story, battered out in an afternoon to no distinct end or conclusion. It's a first draft, it hasn't been polished or checked and, critically, it doesn't have a direction. I was thinking of a British version of Lost/Journey To...
  11. Southend United AGM 2008

    Part 1 of Notes from the AGM of Southend United Football Club held 12th November 2008 at the Council Chambers, Civic Centre, Southend on Sea The meeting began with Ron Martin making welcome the 120 or so shareholders in attendance, explaining that with the recent share issue there had been an...

    Capital Punishment - Think again.......

    I know the whole should we, should'nt we, debate has been done to death on here before but if anything should make you change your mind it's this. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7708398.stm Eight broken ribs and a broken back, with another area of bleeding around the spine at neck level. •...

    A Dad on the scrounge

    I know this is a bit of a cheek but my daughter is planning to go to Morroco next year to do a Charity Challenge , helping them construct a Community Center that will be used as a primary school in the day time and as a community center in the evening. At the same time they hope there will be...

    Huddersfield Fans view on the game....

    Basically, it pains me to say it but it's true. Huddersfield Town Football Club are an absolute ****ing joke. From top to bottom, the awards we won the other week are just papering over the cracks. First of all, regarding the match - we weren't very good. Southend deserved to win, they played...

    Law of the Playground

    Has anybody been watching this on C4? For those who haven't it's one of these celeb (in this case I use that term loosely as there are loads of people I have no idea who they are) commentary clip shows along the lines of "Grumpy Old ...." Anyway, the concept is a good one & there are some...

    Swing The Axe, Fabio!

    With a rare swathe of midweek Premier League fixtures, the next few days represent the last chance for English footballers to worm their way into Fabio Capello’s affections. The Italian manager names his first England squad on Saturday after spending a month travelling up and down the country in...
  17. All this... Over some trainers?

    Just read about this story where some kids have paid for trainers over the net, only for them not to recieve them. In a nutshell, the kids who were ripped off completely ruined this guys life... Because of the payments, they knew his name, address and phone number...
  18. Leeds and the FA

    A couple of thoughts occurred to me reading this. Firstly: Leeds they never learn do they? They seem to be trying to recapture their image of the 70s under Revie; no one likes us, we don't care. My main thought though is I remember when Freddie was sent off a couple of seasons back against...
