    Redknapp's "Mish Mash" Players

    Michael Dawson summed it up best in the post-match interview. Most players, having secured a place at Wembley would bound onto the screen with a broad grin, congratulate, "the lads," and then scamper off for a late night on the bubbles. Not this time. Instead Dawson hung his head in shame. How...

    Circles

    For the love of god please can we stop all of this constant circular tirade of hate! 1) Ron ain't gonna sit by and watch his investment go down, unless he's getting some sort of sexual kick out of spunking money up the wall I think if Tilly goes to him and says I like this spritely young lad...

    FC - Week 14

    Any interesting matches out there? I'm playing second and there's not a great deal to play for as neither of us can change positions whatever the result! End of Over 24 (Maiden, 1lb). Springfield Isotopes: 60-4, runrate=2.50 Marriott 4-3-5-1 Waterworth* 0 (13 balls) Dover 25 (34 balls)...

    Cometh The Hour, Cometh The 12th Man...

    Fellow Shrimpers, lend me your ears (and eyes) for this is a rallying cry beyond the realms of any other before it... In a little under 24 hours, our hero's, proudly wearing the blue we love upon their chests, go into a true David and Goliath battle. In Goliath's corner, we have a squad...

    SZ's Southend United Hall of Fame - Stan Collymore

    The next man up for election to the Southend United Hall of Fame is Stanley Victor Collymore. I think Stan might be the first man to divide opinion sufficiently to have a few no votes. After all, longevity is one of the criteria and Stan only graced a Southend shirt thirty-three times and...

    Chelsea reserves

    Not sure if this has been metioned before but Chelsea are playing a reserve fixture against Fulham tonight. The team is shown here http://www.chelseafc.com/page/LatestNews/0,,10268~1517179,00.html Their youth team have an FA Youth cup game on Wednesday too, which i find surprising...

    Clough and Ready

    He didn't pick the team, he didn't give the teamtalk and he didn't mastermind the tactics, but the mere presence of new manager Nigel Clough at Pride Park seemed to inspire Derby County to an unlikely, but fully deserved victory over Manchester United. Clough may be following in his famous...

    All time greatest results?

    When , by around Weds 7th Jan, all the excitement and amazement of the 1-1 at Chelsea has subsided a tad, think on this:...Was this our greatest ever result? The obvious comparison will be against Man Utd at home, but I'll say todays outcome was superior because: Chelsea's home form is so very...

    Barton Pushes His Luck

    Sorry chaps, forgot to upload this last night... Well, that didn't take long, did it? Just one week after his composed, match-winning performance against West Bromwich Albion, the halo above Joey Barton's head began to slip. Like all the best horror films, the metamorphosis from man to beast...

    Liverpool's Slippery Title Chase

    There's a distinct Joey Barton vibe about Liverpool this week. We look at them with a grudging respect, we acknowledge the good start, but we all share a growing sense of uneasiness, as if it's only a matter of time before they fall flat on their face, or in Barton's case, re-arrange someone's...

    Kinnear Kickstarts Shola Show

    Could it be that Mike Ashley has actually made a sensible decision? The man whose baffling policies have crippled Newcastle United in little over a year doesn't get much right, but in the recruitment of Joe Kinnear, of all people, he might allow himself a smile. The forgotten man of English...

    Where the Country really has gone wrong.

    Well, other than the economic crisis - I want to touch on how it's treating it's veterans of wars and conflicts. Next year, 06/06/2009, is the 65th anniversary of D-day, possibly the most important day in the modern history of our country and possibly the world. That day, people like my...

    Now we all have our breath back...

    Now the dust has settled, and the transfer windows are closed, how do we assess the state of this squad? My opinions as follows. Keepers: Very happy Defenders: Would have liked to have seen another centre-back come in to challenge Barrett and Clarke. Very pleased with Harding. It's nigh-on...

    FC- Week 13

    It's the biggie today. Win or draw and I'll definitely stay up, lose and I'l probably go down. Opposition (Northern Kings) needs to win to have any chance of staying in V. I'm the stronger team looking at recent ratings, but we only got a draw last time out (albeit not helped by me forgetting to...

    Another reaction from last night

    Haven't had a chance to air my views about last night. I know people on here hate it when anybody has an even remotely negative opinion, but last night will go down as a very very low stage of my Southend United supporting history, be it all a short one of 7 years. The team looked...

    The seasons just begun...

    The seasons just begun... and there is so much pessimism on this board it is unbelievable, with so much talk about player confidence - I think its about time that I tried to install some confidence, regardless of how little, back into the people of this board. The seasons just begun... and so...
  18. My only roots hall vist this season

    Felt the need to write a quick note as i dont get to do this much living in Australia. You would think the older you get and the less you see of your team the more your interest wanes. How wrong! I was so excited and couldnt wait for the game to start. It was like being a teenager again. All...
